PORTLAND, Or., April 23 Re ceipts at the Portland market for the past week have been 1209 cattle, 95 calves, 322 hogs, 1139 sheep and 4 horses. There has not been the snap and ac tivity to the market that has hereto fore applied.- It is the season, espec ially in the cattle division, between "hay and grass" and buyers have been somewhat llsUess with the expectation of a re-adjustment of prices Incident to the arrival of grass cattle. They have bought only what has been need ed for immediate consumption with the expectation of supplying their re quirements at lower prices when the run of grassers begins. The sheep market has been steady to lower. There has been little or no quality to the offerings that arrived and the demand has not been very ac tive. Since the last report the hog mar ket has remained practically unchang ed. The quality of the offerings of the light receipts during the week were not up to top quality. Representative sales have averaged as follows: Steers, $4.25 to J6.90; heifers, $6.75; cows, $5.50 to $5.75; hogs, $10.75 to $11;. sheep, $5.50 to $; lambs, $8; calves, $6 to $7; bulls, $4.25. SHIPPERS WARNED Attention Called to Law Requiring Fruit Boxew to Bo Labeled. Fruit Inspector Stansberry, of Mult nomah County, has called special at tention of all growers sending fruit to Portland to the state law requiring them to place their names and ad dresses on packages and boxes sent to the commission merchants. Mr. Stans berry desires that growers observe this law carefully for their own protection. There is a fine for failing to comply with the law, but the inspector hopes that It will not be necessary to impose it. Commission men have agreed to co-operate with the Inspectors In en forcing this law. Mr. Stansberry reports that the prune crop in Multnomah County will be almost a total failure. While on his recent visit to the districts near Gresh tim and Troutdale he found that the frost has destroyed 90 per cent of the buds. There may be some places where the trees are better protected from frost, when there will be a better yield. Bartlet pears, he says, have been damaged, but not wholly destroyed. Cherries and apples have not been ma terially damaged. GRANGERS FOR NORMAL OREGON OFFICIAL PAPER PRINTS STRONG INDORSEMENT.

The Fuller Pharmacy Grocers Were Victims. The Salem Statesman tells of a shrewd swindle recently worked on grocers in Salem and Eugene. The game proved to be a scheme on the part of the swindler to rent a room, call up a grocery and order a bill of goods, asking the groceryman to send along the change for a $20 gold piece. When the deliveryman arrived with the goods, the swindler glibly told him that the swindler's wife was on the way to the grocery store to pay the bill, and seemed surprised that she had not headed oft the grocery boy. Then he stated he would write out a check, anyway, and if his wife had paid the bill adjustment would be made later. At that, the boy would give him his change for the $20, and the swindler would disappear, to turn up in another quarter and work an other grocery. Many Attend Box Social. The box social given by the Ep worth League, Friday night, was a successful affair, both socially and financially. A large crowd was in at tendance. Good singing and enter taining literary exercises were en joyed. The feature of the program was a debate on the question, "Resolved, That the rolling pin is greater than the pen." Mrs. John E. Smith and Mrs. F. It. Morrison took the affirmative, and Dr. U. H. McCallon and County Assessor C. S. Graves the negative. Both sides put up skillful arguments, but the Judges were Inclined to think that the defenders of the rolling pin hail rather the better of the poets. All boxes sold for good prices and a neat sum was netted for the purchase of song books for the church choir. Independent Boys Win, The second game of the Polk Coun- REED WARNS FARMERS (Oregon Grange Bulletin.) The question of the Normal schools Is again to be forced upon our atten tion. The decision of the voters of the state will be required to determine whether this form of educational insti tution is to be supported at the ex pense of the taxpayers of the state. A little thought as to the relative merits of such an Institution among those supported by the state should be given by every patron of the public schools. Having been educated at an Agri cultural College, we cannot be ac cused of being biased when we say, after years of observation and com parison, that the Normal school Is, and should be, the most valuable In stitution of advanced learning. While attending the agricultural school, its merits seemed to outrank all others. Its Influence In improving the agri cultural conditions of the state, and thereby multiplying the sources and increasing the production of wealth, can never be estimated, for those in fluences are extending In an arithmeti cal series, doubling annually. Iet this be observed, however, the Agricultural College extends its in fluence to the advanced student, who returns to his paternal locality to ex tend the influence of his Improved In tellectuality to his immediate family or by his own pursuits. An exten sion of the school influence is not Im mediately felt. Only as the student de velops Into a practical farmer of ma ture years does It appear that his ef forts have any superior merit, or that his activities affect his neighbors. Moreover, this influence is measured in dollars and cents, in financial success. Normal Aim Two-Fold. Not so with the Normal student. The aim of the Normal school Is two fold: First, to cultivate the moral character and the intellect; second, to develop the power to impart these attainments to others. The university and college deal with Individuals whose characters are already practi cally determined. The Normal school Instructor moulds his pupils to in fluence countless others with whom he never expects to meet, and hence the Normal's Influence Is vastly wider and more important because its les sons are brought to more pupils and pupils well within the formative age. The lesson in the college or universi ty is carried home and put into prac tice In the home or shop. The lesson in the Normal is carried to some school, or to a dozen schools, demon strated to twenty, or fifty or even hundreds of pliant minds, and thus determines the moral standard or In tellectual acumen of every pupil that comes within the sphere of the teach er's activity. A little thought will prove to any one that the Normal is our most im portant school, and that it should have the best support the state gives, although that is not the general cus tom. Should Bo In Country, Having admitted the value and nec essity of the Normal school, the ques tion of location Is of next Importance. Since a large per cent of the pupils at tending Normals are compelled to economize, a location where board is cheap. In a food producing section and where rents are low, is a first essen tial. This would evidently not be in the city, but far enough removed to keep down values. Then the many at tractions of the city life, the oppor tunities and excuses for spending mon ey and the constant beaconing from duty that every amusement extends, would make a successful Normal life in the city doubly difficult. Social de mands In the city would be more num erous, the matter of dress would be less easily satisfied; In short, every way you look, the city would present obstacles for the young man or woman of limited means reaching for inex pensive schooling. The state, too, must consider that the buildings necessary for an Institution in a city would be more expensive than those required in a small town; they would necessarily be constructed In relation to their sur roundlngs as well as in regards to con veniences. When the matter of economy is touched upon first consideration must be given the expenditures that have tv High School league series was , alrea(1y been made.

William Reed, In charge of the re vetment work on the west bank of the Willamette river just below Independ ence, has been having some exper iences with farm owners whose prop erty adjoins the works. He reports that where he has been compelled to enter enclosures of some of the smaller tracts adjoining his work, attempts have been made to shut him out and that trespass notices have been nailed up to warn him and " his workmen against entering or going through the premises. Mr. Reed says that he is of the opinion that the parties who are attempting to obstruct the work of Uncle Sam are Ignorant of the extrem ity to which they may force the au thorities if they persist In putting ob stacles in the way of the work of re vetments. He tells of the case of a man at Corvallls who undertook to interfere with government work of a similar character. The obstructor was promptly arrested and incarcerated until the men in charge of govern ment improvement had finished their work. Appropriation Too Small. The work on the revetment, as map ped out by Mr. Reed will be only in the nature of repairs. Something like a hundred feet of these Improvements are to bo made. The condition of the revetment Is bad, and unless this work be done this year a large part of the work already done will surely go out during the next high water. Mr. Reed Is of the opinion that he will be able to do tittle more than repair the re vetments already made. It is his in tention to extend the works as far as the appropriation will allow. It Is hoped that an additional appropria tion can be secured to extend the re vetments. The contract for the rock to be used in the revetments was awarded to J. L. Hanna and will consist of three or four hundred yards for the work In hand. In carrying on the work Mr. Reed has with him nine men. As soon as the rock for the work begins to arrive, the force will be Increased to about double that number. Independence Enterprise.

MAY BUILD THIS YEAR Materinl for West Side Electric Line Reported Purchased. To a man up a tree, It looks very much as though the Oregon Electric road will be completed this year to McMinnville, probably with the Inten tion of making this city the terminal until another season, when it will be xtended to Dallas or the coast, pos sibly in both directions. It is understood that the rolling stock, as well as the material for con etructing the road has all been pur chased, and will be on hand not later than July; and it is to be hoped that there will be no delay on account of failure to secure reasonable conces sions in matters of right-of-wa. The .Ine coming here is the one branch ing at Tlgardville on the Fortland- Salem road, and will strike Newberg. From there are two or three surveys leading to this city. Before reaching this city the road comes from a gener al northeasterly direction. McMinn ville Reporter. Class Reception. A reception was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Boydston, Sat urday evening, by The Girls' class of the Evangelical Church, in honor of the young men of the Round Table class of the same church.

The first mohair mill to be established West .of the Mississippi River com menced manufacturing the wool of the angora goat with a force of 40 fac tory hands and this number will be In creased as the materials become ready for subsequent processes until the mill will employ 150 hands within a few weeks. At that time the full present capacity of the mill will be reached. John E. Young, an experienced mo hair manufacturer from New England, started the formation of a company for the manufacture of the material here about a year ago and soon bought out the holdings of the woolen mills located at Sellwood. Then construction was started and after having Imported a large quantity of the finest up-to-date machinery th plant was ready for operation last Monday. The plant is located on an eight-acre tract, of which but about one-tenth is occupied. President Young expects to develop the business In the future so as to occupy the entire ground and to have one of the greatest Industries in the city located on this property. The site Is located at the crossing of the Caz adero branch of the O. W. P. and the Southern Pacific tracks. Prices Will Increase. This factory will open up a new field of industry in the Northwest, which has been allowed to fall away somewhat owing to the lack of local consumption of material. Now the farmers will be encouraged to raise angora goats for the new market, which has been created. According to President Young the new mills will cause a decided Increase In the prices paid the farmer. Mr. Young Bays: "There is now on the Pacific Coast an annual clip of about 1,000,000 pounds and the Coast mohair along with the product of Texas and Arizona constitutes the greater part of the supply of the country. Our factory will need about 250,000 pounds a year at the start. At present we have about 90,000 pounds and are buying right alon t-s April is the month for buying. The prices locally have gone up already, being about 81 centB a pound now as opposed to 23 cents a year ago. These prices are about the same as the English prices and with the good protective tariff we will be able to manufacture and compete with the English manufactured goods. We pay the farmers much better for the finer grades of mohair, and as a result the breeders are beginning to wake up and put in better stock. The freight rates are such that we, being located In the heart of the district where the raw material Is produced, can compete with the Eastern factor ies as far East as Chicago in some In stances even further. Auto Tops to Bo Mnile. "Our product will be chiefly linings and automobile tops, for which there is a steady demand, and we expect to do our buying chiefly In Oregon and to hire principally local labor, al though we have already brought In 10 families of textile weavers from the factories of the East and as many more will be required at once. This is made necessary on account of the de mand for experienced hands to teach the new hands the business. "We are shaping everything toward the future growth of the business. Our plant Is now built as a single unit, re quiring a single set of foremen and workers. An 90-loom mill, such as we have, comprises one unit, and as we occupy with our buildings only about one-tenth of the eight-acre tract own ed bv us. we will have plenty of ground space for future enlargements." The new plant consists of an 80 loom mill, with other machinery to take care of the manufacture of the product of this number of looms. About one-half of the machinery which has been installed had to be Imported from England. This Is all the most modern and up-to-date ma chlnery used In this kind of a mill. A feature of the system of Installation I that each machine Is operated by a separate motor, doing away with the necessity for a large shaft and belt Ing and the operating of the entire plant to run a single machine. The light used la the mercury vapor tube system, which gives a soft, greenish light, which Is especially easy on the eves and which at the same time brings out the fiber clearly. New Buildings Contrutcl. There are five buildings in the plant Two of these are new buildings and the others are old buildings formerly oc cupied by the woolen mill plant. The new buildings are a weave shed. one-story brick building built with saw-tooth roof, and a one-story brick powerhouse. The old structures are a two-storr frame mill building, a frame warehouse and a frame storage house for chemicals. The plant represents an outlay of about $150,000. The power for conducting the plant I. taken from Johnson Creek, which furnishes 150 horsepower. There is al so a large fire tube boiler for furnish ing the steam and heat for the textile processes and for additional power. When asked whether the farmers It is expected that by tomorrow morning West Salem's new factory, the Combination Chair company, will be n full operation, says the Sunday Statesman. In handsomely equipped offices in the United States National Bank building the concern makes its head quarters In Salem and has its factory located across the river in Polk County. To the Salemlte who has not crossed the river for some time the factory will come as a pleasant surprise. It is located on high ground, immediately adjacent to the railroad track and con sists of several buildings, all new and just completed. MaclUncry Is Modern. The engine room and boiler room are commodlus structures. Large boil ers and plenty of space for fuel In one end of the building and In the other a do-horsepower engine and a dynamo capable of generating 35 kllowats. The engine runs like a watch and cannot be heard ten feet away from the factory. The concern is now negotiating with people who have in view the lighting of West. Salem. In the plant there may be generated sufficient pow er to amply light the little town across the river. This concern will whole sale the "juice" and the plant will be operated from 6 o'clock until mid night furnishing light to West Salem. In this connection the company will also furnish its own electric lights, will install a gigantic arc light on the topmost point of the factory so that It may be seen for miles, and will have its own pumping plant to furnish wa ter to the factory. There is also a possibility that they may establish a little water system to supply the needs of West Salem people. Near the rear of the engine room Is dry kiln, connected by a tramway to the machinery department. This min iature railroad carries the lumber from the dry kiln to the machine room and from there to the finishing room. The dry kiln is situated so lumber may be dumped Immediately from the track within a few feet of the kiln. In the main machinery room a mass of machines are In place and ready for operation. Included in these are two Trevor automatic lathes with a capacity of 2000 for every ten hours. There is a gigantic rip saw that will cut five canes at a time out of the umber after the log has passed through another large saw. Then there are numerous other machines for their respective purposes, each operated by an individual motor, eleven motors being in use. Will Work Double Shifts. It is expected that for two months a double shift will be put on as there are already sufficient orders on the books of the company to keep the com pany in operation for that length of time without adding a single order. Members of the company state they have pretty good assurance that by the time the first batch of orders is turned out there will be double that amount ready to be handled. The last Bhare of stock In the con cern was sold last week and the com pany Is amply financed to back a big proposition. People In West Salem are pleased at the prospects the factory opens to the town In connection with the railroad. Plans are being made to send a switch track Into the company's grounds, which Is a good indication of the amount of business the company expects to handle. Already several cars of lumber have been received by the concern and others are ordered. WOES OF CENSUS TAKER EASTERN OREGON ENUMERATOR HAS HIS PECK OF TROUBLE. Will Develop Polk County. The extension of the railroad from Dallas to the Oakdale rock quarries Is going to Increase the development of that property and the population of Polk County. This makes a greater demand for home products and also for land to supply the Increased num ber of producers. Oregon Labor Press. Dogs Cliase Him, Children Pull His Hair, and Wild Man Threatens to Kill Him. It Is hard to be a census enumera tor. To be a Democrat and a census enumerator with Senator S. C. Beach as the boss might be considered still more of a combination. But that is not all. Up In eastern Oregon is an enumerator, who is a Democrat and who has been, during the past few days, the recipient of many exper iences. He is, personally, a great '' friend of the supervisor, and because of his qualification he was asked to be one of the enumerators, and said he did not want the job. He at last said that, in case of great need, or In case there happened to be a district that no other man would cover, as a matter of per sonal friendship he would take a dis trict. He took one, and he tells about it in the following letter to the su pervisor: "Dear Beach I received the special Irrigation blanks, aa my district is arid except where reclaimed. "I walked five miles one night over the mountains before finding a place to sleep. Roads are good, though. Sometimes I walk three or four miles Into or out of my place to find a rancher. A number of places have changed hands and I cannot get last year's report on crops, but am doing the best possible. Have had some great experiences. It is very hard to get into a house and out without In convenience. Children Interfere. "A youngster picked up my foun tain pen and broke it the first day by prying with it while I was changing papers. Another day a child grabbed my hat and threw It into the water ing trough, while another at the same house swiped my knife. One schedule was spoiled by a baby grabbing It and giving it to the dog. "There Is seldom a table on which to write, at any house, and I use my lap most of the time. Fence rails in some instances for a table, and used the stove at one place. At one place where I staid over night the sheets evidently conformed to the legal length, but were made of diapers, while one of the pillows was made of a flour sack and a corset cover. It is hard to write with one child grabbing at the Ink bottle, another at the penholder, another at your grip and two or three are asking questions and another standing on your toes, while dear mamma says, "Don't Mary," "Don't Harry," "Now baby," "Here, look here, sonny, the man may not like that," but at the same time says about baby, "Don't he look just too sweet and cute for anything?" "As I know not where I will stay at nights, I must carry all luggage with me. I had to work Sunday in order to find some people at home. In order to do the census work Justice I had to thus work on the first day of the week. How should the work be marked, 17th or a weekday date? Crop Figures Come Hard. "A number of present operators of farms are unable to give last year's products, as others farmed the same and last year's people are gone, but I can get estimates. "There Is a partly deranged fellow living back in the mountains who keeps seven vlcloas dogs and at all times carries a cocked gun. He has killed one man, driven a number away and fired at others. Reputable men who have been there warn me to stay away. "My trousers are badly torn by climbing barbed wire fences. My coat belongs to a second hand man, my vest and shirt are not bullet proof, my heart Is In the right place and my feet are tender. I carry no dog or bullet Insurance.
