Au individual account has been opened up with each oue, and when the year 1909 ends each one w ill have a record, officially you might say, in black and white, upon which she will be either approved or condemned as an employe iu the herds of many Humboldt dairies. This new way at going at things comes about through the fact that all over the country the dairymen are coming to a deteimination not to feed and care for cows that “don’t make good.” To keep account 01 the work of each cow involves some work and a little special training, but this is to be supplied through co-opera’ ion, a spirit that prevails strongly among the Humboldt dairymen. This sentiment in favor of testing the cows has been strong for several years, and it only needs a little leading to get it inaugurat ed. In the Eel river valley, the most concentrated dairy section of the county, is where testing is to be done on a co operative basis. While the sentiment in favor of testing has been strong for some time, it has not been possible to get it into action heretofore, but this spring the dairy division of the United States Department of Agriculture was prevailed upon to render assist ance iu getting a testing association started. It tent into the district Mr. C. L. Mitchell, a former cream- erytnan of Humboldt county, aud alter a few week’s work in connec tion with the leading dairymen and creamerymen. the Ferndale Cow Testing Association was formed and the work of testing the cows of the members is already on the way. The membership represents a total of 1900 cows. The Ferndale association charges its members at the rate of one dol lar per cow per year. For this sum one of its testers visits each member once a month, weighs, samples and tests each cow’s milk. A record of this is made and the results are not as good from the use of the teat plug.— Dr. David Roberts, Wisconsin State Veterin arian. Oregon N o M ore H az ng.

What is the future to behold with respect to the world’s stock of gold money in its relation to the rise or fall io the prices of commodities? The mines of the yellow metal are yielding as never before. It is a mere episode that prices are higher than at any time in history? In the past 25 years, the wot Id has mined $6,000,000,000 of gold. In the whole period from the dis covery of America to 1883, the world produced but $ 7 , 000 , 000,000 of gold. In the last 10 years the gold production has aggregated $ 3 , 400 , 000 , 000 , or nearly half as much as the entire production of the world for the 392 years from the landing of Columbus to 1883. The figures, which were recently made public by the bureau of sta tistics at Washington, am startling in their suggestion of possibilities within another decade or another quarter of a century. In 25 years, the stock of gold money in the United States has in creased from $ 025 , 000,000 to $1, 613 , 000 . 000 , or about 75 percent, which is about the ratio of the world’s increase for the peiiod. This country has 60 per cent more gold than Germany, which is sec ond in gold holdings, 70 per cent more than France or Russia, and three times as much as the United Kingdom.— Portland Journal. • » • » « Nickel 1 Petition for Pardon. Medford. Or., Juue9.— Hundreds of the leading business men of Southern Oregon have signed a petition to the president that he pardon Charles Nickell, convicted of perjury in connection with the Oregrn land frauds in 1905 . For over 40 years Nickell resided in Jackson county and had conducted a newspaper most of that time. He was United States land commission er when arrested and convicted ot assisting in fraudulent land entries. He was sentenced to 14 months on McNeil’s Island and has fought the case through to the United States Supreme Court, losing there. The petition to the president con tained no less than 5000 names from this county alone. M asonic A pron on a Mummy. A valuable gold-embroidefed Mason’s apron, at least 1000 years old, was found on a mummy which Captain E. W. Sprague, of the American schooner Columbia pick ed up on his last trip to Callao, for a lew dollars. The apron is hand-embroidered in real gold thread. Captain Sprague bought the apron from a contractor who had unwittingly purchased a mummy, and was au- xious to get rid of the thing. Many high Masons have called upon Captain Sprague and atternt- ed to decipher some of the symbols, but no oue has yet been able to read all of them. Men past middle life have found comfort and relief in Foley's Kid ney Remedy, especially for en larged prostate gland, which is very common among elderly men.

On ac count of his age we were afraid he could not stand it and I recom mended Foley’s Kidney Remedy, and the first bottle relieved him, and after taking the second bottle he was no longer troubled with this complaint.” C J Fuhrman. —--------• <•*-•-------- W ash in gto n ’s M arriage L a w Oregon Coal Production. Oregonian News Bureau, Wash ington, June 6.— The total produc tion of coal in Oregon in 19O8, as shown by statistics collected by E. W. Parker, of the. United States Geological Survey, was 85,259 short tons, having a spot value of $236,021. Oregon, like', California, is one of the few states in which the coal production in 1908 showed an in crease over that of the preceeding year, which was 70,98! short tons, the 19O8 output beiug therefore a gain of of 15,278 short tons, or 21.- 52 per cent; -the , value increased from $166,304 to $236,021, a gain of $69,717 or 41.92 per cent. All of the coal produced came from the Coos Bay held in Coos County, and the inci eased production in 19O8 was due to an increased ac tivity at the Beaver Hill mines. All of the Beaver Hill coal was wash ed, the operations yielding 7O p;r cent of cleaned coal and 3O per cent of refuse. The refuse, however, contains a sufficient quantity of combustible material to permit its use as fuel in the operation of tile mines. The coal from this field is ot a lignite character. Transportation is confined ex clusively to Coos Bay and the Pa cific Ocean, and the city of San Francisco is the principal market. The large amount of construction work involved in the rebuilding of San Francisco is the principal cause for the increased production of Oregon lignite. The average num ber of men employed increased from 184 in 19O7 to 214 in 1908, aud the average number of days worked increased from 231 to 249. There were no labor disturbances during the year. According to the estimates pre pared by M. R. Campbell, of the Geological Survey, the coal-bearing formations of Oregon are limited to an area of 23O square miles, the original contents of which are placed by Mr. Campbell at 1,000,- 000,000 short tons. Coal was first noted in the Coos Bay region about 5O years ago, Professor J. S. Newberry having reported in 1855 that the coal de- posite of Coos Bay had begun to attract attention. ------------ • ««»—■■ ----- A vo id ab le Railroad A ccid en ts, The collapse of a railroad bridge in Southern Oregon, involving the injury of so many people, should not be lightly passed by. If there are bridges along the line of a road they should be well and safely built, and they should be inspected with sufficient frequency, so that the chances of accident may be re duced to a minimum. Under the best of circumstances human life is held at a cheap price by the railroads, otherwise the record of men and women killed, maimed and mangled, as annually published, would not resemble the record of a bloody battle. There will be safer service demanded in the near future of the railroads, as there should be. But very few of them, even the most indifferent, are guilty of such obvious delinquency as seems to have brought about the accident on the Oregon & Southeastern. The Railroad Commission could do no better service to the public than by making a rigid examina tion of the conditions surrounding the accident and holdiug the man agement to the strictest account ability.— Portland Telegram.

S au lt S t M arie D isaster. D e t r o it , Mich., June 9 .— A dis patch to the News from Sault 8t. Marie says the locks of the big Canadian snip canal were wrecked this afternoon while two steamers were passing through. As a result of the accident the steamer Perry G. Walker sank and the Empire City and the steamer Assiniboia were badly damaged. It was the worst wreck in the history of the ship canal. The accident happened while the Assiniboia and the Empire City were being towed through. One of the levees of the upper gates gave way and the water of the high level rushed into the lock chamber, sweeping both boats and the lower gates before it. The Empire City was hit by the Assiniboia as they were carried out of the lock and a large hole torn in her bow. The Assiniboia is reported sinking. The steamer Perry G. Walker was tied up above the lock, and when the accident happened the rush of water broke her line and she was swept through the lock, sinking at the lower entrance. The Canadian canal was one and one-eighth miles long, twenty-two feet deep, with a lock 900 feet long and sixty feet wide.

Paris, June 12.— Deputy Baron received a telegram this afternoou saying it is positively known that 7 o persons are dead as the result of the earthquake in the south of France. Marseilles, June i 2 . — Between 50 and 100 persons are known to be dead as the result of an earth quake which shook Southern France last night, according to ad vises received here, and it is be lieved the death list will be much larger when more details are avail able. Seven hamlets in the vicinity of La Fare and Saint Sannat were practically destroyed and itis c e i- tain that many of the inhabitants lost their lives. Scores of large towns and cities also felt the shock and the property damage will amount to a large sum. The quake was felt here and was quite severe at Cannes and Nice.
