It is a fact that registration of voters is a slow proposition as is proved by the ' books at the clerk's office. Why is this? There is an evidence of more interest on the part of the older men than is taken by the younger generation of voters. Up to yes' terday morning only 18 men of the age of 25 years or under had registered in the two main part ies; of these 13 were republicans and 5 democrats. We find that 16 men of the age of 70 years or over have register ed 6 democratic and 10 republi can. In this connection it may be said that above the age of 75 years they were all democratic with one exception. The total registration tip to yesterday morning was 347. Of these 187 were republicans; 132 democrats; 10 registered inde pendent; 8 stated that they were socialists; 7 registered as pro hibitionist; 3 registered as noth ing, refusing to go on record for any political affiliation. This makes the total registration to date 347, not counting a few blank "A's" from the country. This is a poor showing for the date and our voters should take more interest in the matter. We find that in the registration to date that the republicans have a majority of 55 over the demo crats. Counting the total vote cast in the county and taking the above figures as a basis the re-: publican majority over the demo crats in Benton this year will be from 300 to 350. Two years ago, taking the vote cast for state offices as a basis the republicans had the better of it to the ex tent of about 275. In the four Corvallis precincts 250 are registered. front rank of scientific men of the world. iew ot us. indeed, have a proper appreciation of Franklin's work in natural philosophy and electricity. It is true that his classic experiment to prove the identity of lightning and electric uy is Known tne world over; but so "general is the ignorance ot his other scientific labors, that this great discovery is often re garded merely as a fortuitous and chance occurrence. The utter absurdity ot this belief needs no further proof that even slight acquaintance with his painstaking and unremitting study in this as well as other directions; and it is unquestion ably true that this experiment was not the origin of a theory, but that it was the culminating test of a line of theof itical rea soning and investigatioa. Frank lin's interest in things scientific was limited in range only by the limits of the knowledge of the time. His splendid versatility and intense interest in all phases of human endeavor led him into branches of kuowledge where his remarkably "practical mind and sound judgment produced con tributions to science of undisput ed value. So, his early investi gations of chimney drafts were soon followed by the invention of a stove, which embodied . the principles of the modern hot-air furnace and other devices of like character. Additional Local. Now is the Time. For pruning your fruit trees and spraying this is the proper time. In fact, right now is the time it should be done. Some of our orchardists are alreadv at the work of pruning, and spray ing as well. Get the old, decay- ed, Oregon's senior senator, C. W. Ful ton.has become one cf the most ar dent good roads champions in the City of Washington. When the Fed eral government made an offer, through Samuel Hill, to place two miles of thoroughly modern road in Oregon, at such place as the senator would 6nggest, the latter named Pendleton and Salem, as central for the two great divisions of the state. Arrangements are being made to have a mile of road built at each place, the counties to furnish the labor tnd the material, while the government will provide the ma- Ichinery and furnish six or seven experts to see that the work is up to the standard that has been es tablished. Senator Fulton is urg- ung the county commissioners of every state to attend, this work, and hopes that the government s (offer will result in great educational influence. The date of doing the work will be announced later. Wednesday morning the o-year- old son of Mr. and Mrs . J. A. Wood, of Blodge't, fell into a wash tub full ot" watt r and was drowned. All the particulars could not be ascertained, but we are informed that the remains are to be interred today in the Kings Valley t ceme tery. This was certainly a sad ac cident, i As a general thing it is custom ary nr the lather or mother oi a child who does not appear at school as usual, to send an excuse. Some of the reasons assigned are funnv. but here we have comedy and tragedy combined: "Dear Teacher: Samuel cannot come to school this afternoon as he has glued bis head to tne dresser, and we have not been able to separate them yet." The story has been handed down through a couple of centuries that when Ben Franklin s future mother- in-law discovered that the young man was "wooing" her daughter ?he was much worried over the matter. The printing business did not look good to the matron and, moreover, there were two printing offices already in the Uuited States, which seemed to bo all the country would support. i Congregational church.

In the opinions cf some " men, there is danger of too early a spring. "Pussy" willows are al ready budding out and there are other evidences that the recent warm weather for this season of the year has been effective. Grain has been growing pretty rapidly the past week. From certain sections we have geese going north; this is a most unusual thing for this season of the year. We would welcome the balmy weather of regulation Oregon spring were it not for the possibility of having a cold snap, or frosty weather later, that would damage our fruit prospectr. . moss-covered wood out of your orcnard. it never did any good to allow it to remain on a tree and never will.

The indications are that there will be a number of men outfit for the work of spraying and it will not be necessary for every one who has an orchard to go to the expense of preparing for the work. For all who need any ad vise Prof. A. B. Cordley, of OAC, who has been appointed fruit inspector for this county, will take pleasure in fendaring this assistance. So will Robert Johnson, of this city, who is prominently identified with the fruit interests of Benton, do all ill his power to assist in the work oi" starting those who undertake to spray. After Two Centuries. On the 17th day of January occurred bicentenary of Benjamin Franklin, says the Scientific American. Not only has poster ity assigned to him his rightful position among the greatest and ablest of Americans, but foreign ers as well early recognized those qualities of his masterly iutellect which placed him ' among the foremost statesmen arid men of science and letters. Undoubted ly his fame rests chiefly upon his public career, his services to his country as a statesman, diplomat, and patriot An historical figure of international fame,1 his scienti fic attainments are overshadowed by his political eminence. And yet, the results of his scientific researches and investigations easily place him in the verv canines, he grabbed his gun and struck out across lots to head off what he supposed was at least a bear. He finally sighted the animal, which was making a gay run for cover. It was a strange animal in these parts, being very loose and gangling ot limb, long on earlaps and'shy of caudal ap pendage. Mr. Taylor, however, nothing daunted at the strange ness of the animal's appearance, let go with his gun bringing it down. Alter carefully approach ing and assuring himself that it was really dead and that it's name was not "Maud," he made a careful examination of the "critter" and found it to be what is said to have been the first rab bit of the "jack-ass" variety ever killed in Marion county It is supposed to have found life, too scientific in Benton 'county, where a colonyof these members of the L-epus Californicus are said to have their habitat. In fact, it is presumed the scientific destruction of all such animals as are taught in the State Agri cultural College was too much for this fellow, and he came over to Marion county. P. S.
