has been inspecting butter weights

weight rolls, two samples from

This is not the firtt time, either, and

Bat, again, he found other samples
from here that ere heavy by It
ounces. Tills more than makes up
the shortage found in the output of
the other factories, wherefore it la
concluded that Washington county
averages well. For common
honesty, though, the short-weightere

Sherilf Seaell advfitised two
weeks n'o that he would have the
tax roll by March 1st, nod would, on
that day, commeiiLv collecting taxes,
but he got the roll a few days earlier
and at once liegan r eel ving money,
wherefore the influences that tend to
reduce him to a stale of baldheaded
nessnre now working. Ho sits up
lute at night and figure and figures,
The new lax law is at the bottom of
it all. It makes him segregate the
amount of tax paid by each man in
to road fum1, school fund, state fund,
county fund, cily fund and special
school fund hdiI go through various
other sli ght of hand, now you see
it, and now you don't son it, per
formances. If a man gets a rebate
out of bis tax, it has to tie figured
out of each ot these various funds.
If he pays but half his takes, the

through each fund, requiring a

A practical cheese manufacturer is
In town this week looking over tbe
field with reference to starting a
cheese factory. The capital neces
sary for tbe enterprise is not large,
and can be secured. Tbe unanswered
question la can milk be had? To
start with, 2000 pounds daily must be
pledged. That means 100 cows. It
seeu.s that the number can be se
cured. The market for the product
la assured, one responsible firm in
Portland signifying its willingness to
contract tor tne whole output at a
price that is remunerative. The
factory would not interfere with
creamery proposition where butter is
made or with a condensed milk fac
tory, but would rather help
them. It Is understood that the
Southern Pacific Company is ready
to second the enterprise by extend-
ing transKrtation facilities for carry
lug milk from way stations to the
factory. The first thing to la? settled
la the supply of. milk, and It is pro.
posed to make a canvass within the
next week. Milk is to be bought
outright, a syxteiu that will be more
satisfactory to the farmer thau the
plan of waiting till tho pnsluct Is
sold. Since the alsivu was put in
type it is learned that the capital and
men for the factory are secured. The
raw material is all that is to be
sought.
Mr. Evans, of Kintou, did business
in Hillsboro on Wednesday. Mr. E.
was brick maker at the Newherg
Pressed Brick Factory, but now is a
farmer. Talking about brick mak
ing, he said that clay from almost
every bank in the state has been
tested. The objection to most of the
clay la that In burning the brick
shrinks too much. Only one clay
baa been found to retain its size when
burned, and that came from a bank
CO miles above Baker City. Bricks
from cliy taken Irem that place ab
solutely held their size, or even
swelled a fraction, but I hey did not
retain the weight that has been
found to be proper. A standard
brick should weigh CJ pounds, but
tbla Baker City brick weighed but
two pounds. That means that it is
porous and in our wet climate would
absorb a great quantity of water. It
is a beautiful color, though, a light
buff. It was not tested for strength.
The best clay for pressed brick, as
lar as tried, comes .from Buenavista,
in Prtlk county, and from Willainina,
tributary that empties into the
Yamhill above Sheridan. Most of
the clay used at Newherg comes
from those banks and has to he
hauled an wagons five or six miles
before railroad is reached. This
primitive and exsnsive transporta
tion accounts for tho high price of
iressed brick that carries the fashion-
abld colors now so often seen in the
better class ot buildings in the city.
