She is of ordinary size, twelve years old and her color is almost black. Her breed is one-third Jersey and two thirds Durham. Twice before "Mott" Jibs given birth to more than one calf at a time, but until the last occasion it has not been more than twins at a birth.

WALNUT CULTURE . , , IN THIS STATE The Oregon Agriculturist has the following, regarding the develop- mnnt ot walnut culture in Oregon s "There is no question of the fact .v. ntait. in walnut culture is tua v iuvui w - Koonmini? widesDread in Western Ornonn. The laree size and sup orh nnnlitv of the nuts grown on the trees of Mr. Price, at Dundee, Oregon, and of Messrs, Biddle, hp no- and others in DCaiUi i,a virinitv of Vancouver, Wash., MUW v 'w j , and in trees scattered tnrougn me wniftmette valley have caused a ereat demand for trees for planting and for information rejauye w t. mlturei Quite large importa tions of trees have been made from France this season. A fine ais plav of walnuts grown by Mr. Price will be shown at the Lewis & Clark exposition, and this display will still further stimulate mierebt in walnut growing." There is no questioning me v. flfillent auality of the walnuts grown in the Willamette valley, and it seems that this promises to be one of the greatest industries in arbor imlture in Oregon. A great many people are turning their attention to it this year, and mere doubt that its development will be such as to place the Willamette valley at the lead among wamui growing states. Many of the todav are paying very particular attention to the cultiva- tion of good wamui hioub.. The steamer Alliance reached Poland Sundav night from Cres cent City with the fifty-five pas- seneers from tne nw" E. A. Burt, son of S. P. Agent Burt of Monmouth, I. s- n Vnnwn here, was t one of the Oregon's passengers. "Is it an artesian vein?" That is the question that is puzzling D. L. Hedges and many other Inde pendence people to-day. Yesterday Mr. Struble was at work on the platform of the Hedges wind mill. He quit in the middle of the afternoon and early in the evening the 800 gallon tank was running over. Tne tank hau no water when Mr. Stuble Quit work nor bad it contained any for month. '" The well is 64 feet deep and has been dug twenty years. One theory is that the well was sunk into the regions of an extension vein which the shaking of the casing yesterday caused to break through. Another theorv is that the flow comes from the city water nvfitem. The Hedees residence 18 connected with the city water plant and some wonder if the workman tVirmicrh mistake or some prankish o - boy have connected the pipes so as in fnrroi water into the tank irom the citv water works. 5 - ' Superintendent Calbreatb how ever after examination is of the oninion that there is an artesian flow from the bottom of the Hedges well. . .- - ' ; Independence is noted for the purity of its water. If the dis covery provee to Dean ariesian flow it .will be an added boon. Further investigation will be made of the Hedges well.' , ' Kickers Not Wanted St! Peter sitfT at ' the heavenly i Ma hands on the strings of V- the lyre, and sings low songs as he nafipnt.lv waits for the souls of those who expire. ' He hears m tne distance sor gs that swell from the fnnt nt the heavenly throne and he smiles as the music is wafted along and warbles a lay of his own "TWa is room in this region for the millions of souls who by sorrow and woe are bereft; 'tis for those whn have suffered the mel- odv rolls, but the kickers turn f.n the left." There is room for the people who, when they were young - . a i - 4. persisted in sowing wild oais, yei Knnmnd nn their town with sinew and tongue, but the kicker mast go' with the goats. There's room ior the people who pointed with pride to the beauty and growth of their town, who kept singing their prais es aloud till they died, but the kicker will amble down. They'd say the music was all out of tune and the angelic gown "hand me down and send to the moon for a jeweler to sample the gold in their crowns." So while there is room for a million of souls who by sor row and woe were berett; we warn no complaint of the music tnai rolls, bo the kicker must turn to the left. The talk of bears in the hop market to the effect that brewers ill use a substitute and keep the price down, don't phaie Cohrad Krebs. "The brewers will con tinue to put three quarters of a pound of genuine hops fo bairel ..a , m of beer," says Mr. Kreb "ana ior bottle and export beer over a pound to the barrel. The fact is regardless of the "bear" talK, the Kreba Bros, are furnishing tho Salem Brewery Company with hops for which they are receiving a premium of 3 cents a pound above the market price. Of course, it is a fine quality of hop, but the K.rets have some of the finest hops in tne state.
