The Oregonian'a Washington, cor renpondent says much is expected of the new administration. Under the old, the affairs of the office were sadly negated and the force al most demoralized. Mr. Daly will be expected to bring about imme diate and very "material reforms and will be given a free rein. - The democratic congressional con vention met at Albany Saturday, and nominated A. E. Reames, of Jacksonville, to be its standard bearer in the coming campaign for the seat made vacant by the death of the late Thos. T. Tongue. The convention was virtually unani mous for Reames, the 32 votes Riven to J. A. Jeffreys being merely complimentary.

A. floor; O A C floor at Corvallis, or at Indepen dence, on a floor at least 40 feet wide and between sixty and eighty feet lone." Better come to Corval lis, friends. Here you will have a thoroughly impartial audience, and the best floor in the state to play on. The wheelmen held an enthusi astic meeting at the court housr Saturday evening. The officers re ports showed a healthy club condi tion. It was decided to take up path building and improvement as soon as the we&ther will permit.

Yates returned Sunday from Independence, where be appeared in defense of three Ma rion connty lads who were charged with assault npon two Buena Vista girls. The boys were driving Borne cattle to the W. H. Odell farm, one mile west of Corvallis, and they camped, over night near Buena Vista. The girls passed their camp and the boys engaged them in con versation, and with their permission accompanied them on a htttle stroll The story got started that so.i.e wild cowboys had lassoed the girls and otherwise mistreated them, and the whole community " was greatly wrought up. The trial lasted all Saturday afternoon, but the case against the boys was so thin that the jury returned a verdict of "not guiltj'Vafter being out five micutes. Receipts and'Expetidltures.

Riddle, who, it was reported, had mysteriously disap peared from v Vancouver, Wash. , April 1, passed through Roseburg on this morning's overland train enroute to Riddle and is now there at the borne of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Abner Riddle. Claude's wife and child are also at the family home, having been brought there yesterday from Vancouver by 7 Claude's brother, Ernest Riddle. Claude was lo cated at Troutdale, the fourth station out of Portland on the O. R. N. linj in Multnomah couaty1, by,' means of a -letter which he wrote to his wife from that place. The letter was directed to Van couver, then forwarded to Rose burg -and finally to Riddle, reach ing the last named place simul taneously with Mrs. Riddle's ar rival. A telegram, was imme diately directed to Claude at Troutdale, urging the necessity for his presence at borne, because of; the serious illness of his mother, who- is now -; reported as being very low. We are as yet unable , to . learn " the reason for Claude's action in - absenting himself from Vancouver in such a strange manner.. Review. , Most Profitable Stock. In a letter to Mr. W, E. Co man, of the S. P. R. R. company, President Scbulmerick, of the the Oregon State Dairymen's Association gives the following valuable information on the feed ing and raising of hogs. "Hogs have proved to be the most profitable stock I have on the farm at present prices of pork and bacon. T have the hogs that are slaughtered in the ' fall and winter farrowed in March or April. They are ; pastured in April, May, J une ana J uly on alsike clover. I find alsike pre ferable to red clover as it is eaten with more relish by hogs and cattle. ; The end of May or first of June a field is sown to rape. The land should be finely pulver ized and 3 pounds of seed sown broadcast per acre. The seed should be harrowed in with a peg tooth harrow: and the land rolled or clod-mashed. The rape can be pastured all fall and winter, and tne shoats will be in fine con dition to fatten. . ; Last summer I pastured 42 shoats on two acres of rape tor two months. The shoats kept in ero wine r condition all the while. This plainly shows the value of rape for hog pasture. I would recommend alske clover for spring pasture in the Willam ette valley and - alfalfa wherever it can be grown. Alfalfa hay has about the same feeding value as wheat bran and makes an ex cellent winter ration tor stock hogs, when run through a feed cutter, with a little skim milk added. Peas and barley mixed make the best ration for fattening hogs that I have used. Five pecks of each should be sowed per acre. They " ripen together and can be harvested with a binder, and -yield from 40 to 50 bushels per acre. The year 1901 I kept account with 12 hogs. -When put up to fatten they averaged live weight 75 pounds each. They consum ed an average each of 450 pounds rolled barley, and 300 pounds skim med m ll k 1 n 60 days. When ' slaughtered their average weight dressed-was 161 pounds. The meat was cured, and' the -ribs. lard and bacon sold for $204,50. Value, of shoats and. feed con sumed $98. Net income $106. 50, besides the offal. I have gone into detail on this to show what can be done when the product is finished on the farm. Hogs should alwas have com fortable, clean quarters. If their beds aie not dry and warm they require a large amount of extra feed to keep up the animal heat of the body, They also should be kept ia a growing condition; It ia a mistake to grow hosts too large for it requires mote feed to produce a pound of gain on a 300 pound hog than one weighing 2oo pounds. In conclusion I will say that farmers of - Western Oregon should try the clover and rape for summer feeding and. grow peas and barlev for fattening hogs. At -. present, we have a market for many more than are produced. If we increase the production of hogs it will not be be long before we have a first class packing: establishment in our midst. Then we will be able to compete with the East in their own domain by furmishing them a better article than corn' fed bacon." . Oregon's" Fruit Crop. - E. L. Smith, - chairman of the State Board of Horticulture, in the 7th biennial report of that board, gives the total value of the fruit crop of Oregon in 1901 at $2,375,000. The crop of 1 901 was the most valuable one pro duced in Oregon. In 1902 the total value of the fruit crop in this state was $2,011,500, not counting small orchards-or fruit canned or consumed in Oregon. The total acreage of commercial orchards in Oregon is given on page 187 of the biennial report at 53,000 acres of which 27,000 are in prunes, "and 1 6, 50b acres in apples, 4,700 acres in mixed orchards and" the-. remainder in pears, cherries and peaches. After supplying the non-fruit producing population at home, Oregon fruit is shipped in large quantities to the inter-mountain cities and towns in the Rocky mountain states and to the mid dle west and eastern cities. The keen . eye pf the - horticulturist scans the world beyond the out lines of the map ot . the United States and sends the product of. his orchard to Europe and Asia whefe. the superior" quality and attractive appearance of his of fering attracts eager purchasers at renumefative prices: - Woods Creek Appropriated. G R Farra has filed notice at the recorder's office - that he has "appropriated, " for purposes of irrigation and supplying water for household and -domestic con sumption and watering live stock and to furnish lectrical power for all purposes, and to 1 supply reservoirs flumes, dams, ditches canals and pipelines with water of that certain creek or; running stream, known as 'Woods Creek,' flowing through sections 11 and 12, T. 12 S:, R. 7 W., and sec tions 7, 8, 9, 10, 3 and 4 in T. r2, S., R 6 W of Willamette meridian in Benton- county." The said ditch, canal, etc., shall be thirty inched wide and 18 inches deep, and the number of inches of water (by miners' measurement under six-inch pres sure) ' intended to be appropriated is i 000 cubic inches, and the number of reservoirs three. The canal will be called the Corvallis Mountain Water Aque duct and the general, course of the same - will be following near Woods creek;; down stream, to its moutn, or at an; elevation aDove the same; thence following down near Marys river, through or near Philomath, and in a general easterly direction to the city of Corvallis, to a connection With the water system in said city of G. R. Farra and others. - sup 1 uenman nas lasen up a new line of work which will ma terially increase the interest . of pa- rents -ana . scnooi patrons. le is planning to hold a number of local parents meetings in the future These meetiugs -rpill beheld in some district seL.Ci.eti by him. It will be the aim to arouse the enthusiasm andhnterest of . rchool officers and parents in these particular districts. Persons in the district will be asked to help in tne program. The time for these meetings will be Friday afternoons. The schools will ' be asked to add their regular literary exercises held monthly to the other program. ? Parents and others in the district will be asked to bring their dinner and unite during the noon hour in having a social time. The first meeting of this character I will be held in Mountain . View district. . - ' v Wilful Ignorance? It is certainly a matter of wil ful ignorance . for anyone, who pretends to be informed on mat ters of interest to the commu nity, to state that nothing has been done by" the- businessmen ot uorvallis to assist in securing a twice-a-day passenger train ser vice over the Si P. railroad to this city. " ' The proposition was intro duced through the columns of the Gazette of February 6, 1903, by a letter signed 4,Busi n:s3 Man;" In an editorial in the Gazette of February -xoth, we showed the advantage of such service and urged the Citizens' League to assist in securing it. The following week the Inde pendence Improvement League took notice of the Gazette's ar ticles, and the secretary of that organization was ordered to con fer with towns along the line of the proposed . improvement, and committees were appointed to circulate petitions. In our issues of 20th of February our readers of the the 17th and informed we progress that had been made, and what steps had been contemplated to secure the desired service. By this time every business man in Corvallis and citizens generally were discussing the project and the way to secure its adoption. Mr. S. N. Wilkins took an especial . interest. He circulated a petition to Manager Koehler asking for the improve ment, and it was signed by every business man in Corvallis. This petition was published in the GA ZETTE of March 6th, and We said in comment, that if the new schedule was not granted it would not be because urgent re quests had not been made by lead ing business men of all the cities affected. " Committees from ' Indepen dence, McMinnville, Corvallis and other cities called upon Man ager Koehler and urged upon him to install the new schedule. He promised to give the matter earnest consideration, and those interested are now waiting de velopments. Sheer stupidity is the only ex cuse that "can be offered for the statement that "Corvallis has done nothing yet. No petitions have been circulated." ' Additional Local.
