Tw o school district» have made ap plication to borrow money from the irreducible state school fund, under the act of the last legislature, and their applications have been accepted A number of other districts are mak ing preparations to borrow money .!!0? . i he B8me source. and it seems that the state land board will be able to put out a considerable sum in this " ay1 The districts whose ofTers of bonds have been accepted are District No. 1 in Clatsop county, which wi'.l Issue bonds to the amount of $35 000 and District No. 2, in Wasco county' will issue bonds to the amount of $3500. The loans will be made at 5 per cent, interest. The usual rate for mortgage loans is 6 per cent., but the board does not find borrowers for the entire fund. The act of the last legislature pro vided that whenever any Bchool die trict desired to raise money by issuing bonds, it should be the duty of the district to offer the bonds to the state land board at not less than 5 per cent interest. The board has the option on the bonds at that rate, and If the bonds are found to be legally issued, may purchase them. If the state land board declines to purchase the bonds the district may then sell them In the market at the best terms that can lie had. The state land board Is also prepar ing a form of bond which each dis trict will be required to issue. Uni formity in this respect will make it easy to keep the records of bonds In the hands of the state land board. No school district can now Issue bond* without giving the state land board an opportunity to buy them, so that practically all the interest paid by school districts upon bonds hereafter Issued will go Into the public school fund, thus saving this large amount of money to the public schools.

The Fourth o f July fund at Port land has been transferred to the Hepp ner relief committee, and no celebra tion will be held, except a sham battle at Irvington, for the benefit of Hepp ner. The amount paid in Is $2874.66, and about $250 is outstanding. It Is expected that all this balance will be paid. There are bills outstanding which must be paid, but the balance to be transferred to the Heppner fund will be at least $2500.

It is gratefully welcomed, as the falling off in receipts yesterday and the day before gave some anixety to the committee, for there is pressing need of every cent received or prom ised.

CUBAN MATTER BEFORE CABINET. Naval Station Will Be Secured In Ad- vancc of Payment Therefor. Washington, Jane 25.— At tbe cabi net meeting today, Secretary Wilson submitted an elaborate set of plans for tbe proposed new building of the de- usrtment of agriculture. Considerable modification of the plans submitted will be necessary in order to bring them within the coat proposed by con gress. Rsrretary Hay referred briefly to the pending treaty looking tc the acquisi tion ol naval statidns in Cuba, and tbe settlement of title to tbe Isle of Pines. As to the naval stations, it appears that the treaty wlil lie so framed as to permit of the acquisition ol the land in advance of payment therefor, the ques tion of price to be settled thereafter. This is necessitated by the fact that the Cuban government proposed to acquire the title from individual holders and transfer tbe land to the United States, and it is unable at this time correctly to estimate tbe value of tbe property required.

It Is a mistaken Idea to suppose that large areas are required on which to raise sheep. It Is true that It will not do to crowd too many on a small area with any Idea that they will get their living from tbe vegetation there, but If, say. one hundred sheep were to bs kept on fifteen or twenty acre», prop erly bandied, together with proper feeding, would bring desirable results. Taking twenty acres as the area to l»e used, it would be a good plan to divide this into three fields; two fields of five a< res each and one ten-acre field. The flv«-acre plots should be sown In rape or some other speeial feeding crop, and the ten-acre field used for general grazing. In this plot there should tie shade and water, and the grain feed ing should be done here also. The fields of rape should be used alternate ly: that is, give the flock o f sheep ac cess to one field four or five hours a day for one week, then to the other field in the same manner. I f the»* fields were profitably pastured tbe re sult of the droppings would make them sufficiently rich for almost any crop when It was desired to use them in that way. which could be done by baling movable fences, so that other fields could be used for the sheep In other years. | jR B.

First Is by Jarring the tree every morning for three weeks, after the plums are set. catching the weevils In sheets laid on the ground. The aecond Is by colon izing large flocks of chickens in coops, or In yards, under the trees. I f farmers were as careful and sys tematic In tbe management of their herds as the breeders of pure breeds are with tbslr cattle, much better re sults would be secured from ordinary stock. Even tbe bset breed will fall If not rightly managed, and all classes of stock can be made more productive if extra care Is given.
