HOFER FOR GOVERNOR Col. E. Ilofer, of Salem, is be ing boomed to become the repuhli can candidate for governor of Ore gon at the next election While Col. Hofer has not announced his candidacy it is stated that he has given delegations that have called on him, to understand that lie is in a receptive mood and will run if given assurance that there is sufficient demand for him to make the race. Col. Hofer for several years has been one o f the leaders o f the Roosevelt republicans in Oregon. While some of the old time loaders of the party have been fighting Statement No. 1 and other reforms which the people have insisted on. Col. Ilofer has been a firm advo cate o f government by the people. — Marshfield Times. In the whole range of farce comedy is there anything funnier than the recent history of the Ore gon laud fraud prosecutions? The ludicrous gravity with which the play has been carried forward and the frequent admonitions to the public not to laugh, as everything was l>eing said and done in serious earnest, have contributed greatly to the enjoyment of the farce. Observe the synopsis: Act 1. Ileney gets tired— very, very tired of his job. Hopeless of securing more convictions, he has W. C. Bristol appointed district attorney to carry on the prosecu tious. Act 11. Bristol makes the com ical blunder of supposing that he is really to prosecute the land grabbers. Dismay at San Fran cisco. Consternation at W ashing ton. Sudden disappearance of evidence in government’s posses sion on which indictments were based. A ct III. Bristol declared to be neglecting his duty. Off with his head. Enter his successor with loud blare o f trumpets. No more quarter for land grabbers, no de lays. A ct IV. (O ne year later). Re maining laud fraud cases dis missed while the public isn’t look ing. Act V. Senator Fulton, who had been denounced by Ileney for four years as the king pin of the land grafters, suddenly restored to favor and rewarded with life job as federal judge at $6000 per. Tumult o f applause from sleuths, laud grabbers, etc. Ileney smiles conspicuous in the background. Curtain. The performance has been re plcte with entertaining situations and rich in humor. The climax in the last act when Fulton be comes judge is particularly divert ing. The play terminates with Ileney still retained as the govern ment’s assistant counsel at a large salary, although the land fraud indictments have been dismissed. — Portland Journal. Editor Shutt of the Drain Non pareil, contemplates buying a race horse in order to catch defaulting subscribers, and upon learning that a drowning man rememliers every event o f his life, advises his subscribers to bathe in deep water. I take this subject to appeal to the farmers in this most solely neglected part o f oue of our great est resources of wealth. 'The bulk of the poultry comes from the farm and not the fancier: but the best poultry comes from the fancier or small farmer. Some of the most miserable looking stuff it is, too. No wonder the first thing a packer does is to take off the feathers, for in no other way could they fie graded, no two alike, o f every color and shape and size, more like crows than chickens. Some say, why do we get such poor stuff from the fine farms? Farmers say we pay no attention to our hens; that is so, and they never pay auything for them, either. Where they came from no oue knows, but they were traded arouud and got the start and now they are in the last notch o f degeneracy. Some spring they nearly all die off with the cholera. It is not cholera, it is weakness from excessive inbreeding aud neglect. You do not inbreed your hogs and cattle, or your corn or wheat, why the poultry? In passing a neighbor's place that is a little more up-to-date than your own aud you see his flock of fowls all just alike, don’t you turn and look and drive a little slower to take a good look at them and wish you could swap eggs with him? Now, just close to the road is a fine lien with fifteen chickens all just alike. Oh! how fine to look upon, compared with yours of every known color and shape. Pure-breds look alike all the time, and for that reason bring from oue to two cents and often much more, per pound. I have seen scrubs turned down at less than the market when a bunch of full bloods brought 2 cents above. E gg producers are the greatest money-makers. All wild birds lay from two eggs to fifteen and then hatch them. A nd your chickens are nearly wild. You figure on your hogs, cattle and grain, but never on your poultry. Why? One farmer said because he was ashamed to: he never let Ins wife bu^ a new bird or some eggs to rais^f uew blood, but for twenty years kept the same stock, and every time he thought the wife had a few dollars extra he would be short all of a sudden and bor row it from her and never, no never, think to pay it back. Mr. Farmer, if you have a lick of sense, shut up about fooling away money on uew stock, but let them buy some, grade up the flock aud double, no treble and more the in come, for can’t you see how much more money your wife will have to lend; all you will need to do is to make up excuses enough to get it all. It is reported there will be an advance o f prices in every barber shop o f the state, on account o f The packed audiences at the the long faces produced by pay armory on two different occasions ment of taxes.— Oregonian. | recently could but cause one to No wonder our county taxes are 1 mentally contemplate the results o f a grand rush should a fire alarm high— $10,000 for the pavement of be given on such an occasion.

There being no windows on the north side nor at either end and those on the south side lieing very high, renders it imparative that the doors at the side entrance be hung so as to swing outside, as a matter of public safety. This is a matter which should receive at tention at once. Governor Benson is going ahead with the state’s business just as if he had always lieeu the chief ex ecutive.
