VALLEY RECORD. riMiiT------ Tbe legislature of California gets right down to work. It recently passed a bill regdlating the size of hats to be worn by the ladies attending theatrical and other performances. When it comes to prac tical legislation, our Oregon boys should lake a few pointers from the lawmakers of tbe golden state. W. B. Honeyman, of the Portland Linseed Oil Works, has made contracts with Linn county farmers for 2000 acres of flaxseed for which be has contracted to pay $1.80 per hundred. This will bring to the growers something upward of $20,000, Mr. Honey man furnishes the seed to sow the 2000 acres. The past census report just received shows 63,791 families in Oregon; 29,400 own property free from debt, and 9,992 incumbered, and 24,399 families hire property. The percentage is, owing, 61.75, hiring, 38.25. Only ten states ex ceed the percentage on ownership. 74.63 per cent own property free from incum brance and 25.37 incumbered property. In a recent editorial the Salem, Oregon, Independent says: “Time and again have we seen Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy tried and never without the most satisfactory re sults. Whenever we see a person afflicted with hoarseness, with a cough or cold, we Invariably advise them to get Chamderlain’s Cough Remedy; and when they do. they never regret it. It always does the work, and does it well.” For sale by Ashland Drug Co. Daring the next two years the trustees of the soldiers’ home at Roseburg will epend tbe following amounts of money, deficiency appropriation, $11,000; regular maintenance fund, $24,000; new buildings and improvements $29,000—total, $64,000. The anniversary of the birth of the father of his country was patriotically ob served Thursday in the public schools of Ashland, and the young idea heard again for the bundreth time about that little hatchet and the boy who couldn't tell . 8tt«| About Those Mineral Lands. Efforts to secure legislation to settle disputed mineral lands within tbe grants in Oregon and California failed at this session of congress, or failed to be made a part of the bill affecting Idaho and Montana, because there was no well- defined purpose in the former states as to just what was needed. The Montana and Idaho men have been working on the subject for many years, and they finally became aware of wbat was wanted and put the bill through. NO. 41.

The Denver Times suggests tbe holding of a mining and industrial exposition in Denver in 1896 and urges as a reason for the same that at this particular time the eyes of tbe world are focused on Colorado because of the interest aroused on the subject of bimetallism and gold mining. The Times says : In 1896 Colorado will celebrate tbe twentieth anniversary of her admission to Statehood and the coun try will have been a republic at that time just 120 years. Such an exposition would therefore be a most fitting celebra tion. List or Letters Remaining uncalled for in the Ashland P. 0., Feb. 24, 1895: Ballard C. J. R. Garreston B. L.

About 45,000 bales of hops were ship ped from the Willamette valley this past season, although this does not represent the total crop of that portion of Oregon. It has been a long time since salmon brought so high a price in the Astoria markets as at tbe preBent time, owing probably to tbe scarcity of fish. Chinook salmon are selling at 15 to 20 cents per pound. The cost of running the government of the United States under Jefferson was only 60 cento per capita. It is now $7, with a fair prospect of increasing to $77, rather than becoming less. Walter Landers, aged 16, and bis brother, 14, were felling a small tree near Gervais, when the eider boy put his hand on the stump to push when tbe youngster let her go, with the result that tbe older boy had two fiDgers cut off. As old or perbabs the oldest horse in the United States died last week in Bak er county.

Frank Craft, of Lebanon, was explain ing tbe action, etc., of a 32-calibre double action revolver to his father the other day when he accidentally pulled the trig ger at the wrong time, the weapon was discharged and the ball took effect in the old gentleman’s right leg. Tbe old man now wears crutches aud has learned all he wants to of these “new-fangled” guns. CHEAPEST POULTRY RATION. Cat Green Bone an Important Factor Value of Animal Food. Progressive poultry men recognizs the advantage of feeding animal food of some kind to poultry. They also un derstand the value of cut bone in the feeding ration. Up to within a few years only dry bones were used in this way because of the difficulty in smash ing green bones into suitable size for feeding. Since then machines have been put upon the market for cutting or slic ing tho green bones, and this has In many places almost revolutionized poul try feeding. A raw or green bone con tains considerable meat aud gristle, which, when cut up with the hard bone, make a very nitrogenous food which could hardly be utilized in any other way. By running it through ono of these machines the bone is changed into a soft, pasty mass that may be fed alone or when mixed with grain or veg: etables. The cheapest poultry ration was the subject for correspondence in the col umns of The Rural New Yorker recent ly, and in nearly every instance cut bone was one of the ingredients speci fied. A New York correspondent eaid that he fed his poultry fresh cut raw bone, oats, cornmeal, wheat bran and mid dlings, whole wheat, corn in ear and buckwheat varied for a change. The cheapest ration is oats in the bundle cut fine with a straw cutter for wintei feed. In summer let them go to grass. James Rankin wrote: The main feed to my hens when confined In winter is wheat bran, mixed with cut clover, green rye and boiled turnips, one-third green stuff and two-thirds bran, with a little animal meal or beef 6crap mixed in. I give all they will eat of this in the morning and at night corn, wheat and oats, keeping them a trifle hungry. A Pennsylvanian who devotes his time and attention to duck raising said: Green bone iB an economical feed. Hav ing fed about 20 tons this season places us in a position to know its merits. We mix it with other feed. Fifteen per cent ground bone is about right for ducks, young and old; also for hens and broil ers. Green bone costs 50 cents per 100 pounds at the slaughter house. Raising ducks is our main business. The feed should consist of 15 percent green bone, 20 percent bran, 20 per cent No. 2 flour, 15 per cent crackers, 30 per cent corn meal. To this should be added green food of some kind, such as corn, rye, etc., or clover hay cut fine and steamed for some time in quantities equal to the ration first given. Economical Mr. Staybolt. ’’The most economical man I know of,” 6aid Mr. Gratebar, “is my friend and neighbor, Mr. Staybolt When he smokes a cigar, he lights it carefully and completely, so that it will bum perfectly and without waste, and hav ing so lighted it he blows out the match- Of course he knows that a match once ignited is of no further use, but his habit of mind is such that he hates to see any waste of material whatever. Some men blow ont a lighted inatoh be fore throwing it away, so that no harm can come from it. Mr. Staybolt may have that in mind, too, but his actuat ing impulse no doubt springs from his tyirit of eoouosay. ’’—New York Bum ^hanged jHands ! HOTEL A bsolutely pure EXAMINATION AT YALE. VACCINATION MAD. Ways That Are Dark and Tricks That Are Washington's Recent Smallpox Scare ■ Bonanza For the Apothecaries. Not Always Vain. (Special Correspondence.] During the recent smallpox scare in N ew H aven , Deo. 20.—Twice a year, in the early part of December and of June, a visitor on the Yale campus may see, gathered about the steps of old Alumni hall, a group of students anx- iotfly awaiting the stroke of the hour. The regular semiannual examinations are about to begin. The old hall frowns down grim and silent like a feudal cas tle. The studious among the students stand apart in proud Belf reliance, dis cussing Greek roots or mathematical in tricacies in a learned way. Questions fly thick and fast through the rest of the group. Anxious faces now show an eagerness to pick up crumbs of infor mation which would have made glad the tutor’s heart in months gone by. Some, too, are dealing out knowledge with a mysterious and cunning air. The clock strikes, and the doors are thrown open. Anxiety seems to van ish for a moment, and the crowd pushes forward with cheers. Once Inside the hall, every desk is soon taken, and all is quiet. The pro fessor in charge is seated on a raised platform, while the watchers pace noise lessly up and down the aisles. There are usually five or six of the latter, and their sharp eyes are everywhere to detect any attempt at dishonesty. The penalties for such dishonesty are severe—failure in the examination, suspension or even expulsion. In face of this it would hard ly seem that cheating would be attempt ed or could bo carried through under so many eyes, yet it is. Many and in genious devices are used every year and seldom detected. It is an easy matter to conceal a close ly written slip in the left hand, and much information can be carried in that way, or the palm of the hand itself is often written upon. Every year, at Yale or elsewhere, dates and important facts are smuggled into the hall on the inside of the cuff or on the edges of a blotting pad. The presence of a watch on the desk excites no suspicion, for time is limited, and therefore precious. But the circular pieoe of paper, parted neatly in the cover, is often much more valuable than time for the successful issue of an exam. Some "cribs, ” as these aids are call ed, are by no means so simple. One that has been used several times in New Haven, to the writer’s knowledge, was made of a long strip of paper, about the width of a newspaper column, and deft ly fastened to two match sticks, after the manner of a papyrus roll. Thia could be easily worked by the move ment of the fingers of one hand and ex pose only a small portion of tho roll qt one time. On one that I saw was a full digest of a three months' lecture conrse.' A bthvr “How to Cure All Skin Diseases.” Simply apply “S wayne ’ s O intment .” No internal medicine required.

At the Illinois station in 1894, as in former years, it was found that differ ent thicknesses of seeding had less in fluence on yields of either grain or straw than is commonly supposed. Where a small quantity is sown a larger number of stalks are produced by each stool. One advantage of thicker seeding is that if the season is unfavorable and part of tho wheat is destroyed there is greater probability enough will remain. An interesting fact is that different varieties of wheat differ greatly in size and weight of kernels, making a vast difference in number sown even when a like quantity is sown by weight or measure. At the Illinois station the wheat averaged about 800,000 kernels per bushel, but some varieties had only 600,000, while others had about 1,130,- 000. At the Iowa station even greater differences were found, the extremes being from 490,000 to 1,184,000 kernels per bushel. Washington one apotheoary sold 18,000 “vaccine points*’ within 24 hours. On a Friday, when the genoral fright was greatest, the supply gave out. Physi cians telegraphed in every direction for points. In the drug store referred to a big crowd was waiting. A small quan tity arrived, and the people scrambled for them. Tbe scene was a most extraor dinary one. Holding their money in their hands over their beads, men, women and children struggled like anx ious bettors at a race traok. One would have supposed that their lives depended on procuring the points, of which there were not nearly enough to go round. “Here’s my money 1” yelled one man. “You promised me four points yester day!” cried a woman. “I’ll pay you a dollar apiece for six points I” shouted another man, evident ly the anxious father of a family. In one day of the scare the apothecary said that he had made more money than he had ever made in two days out of his business. Somebody came to him and offered to buy out his entire stock of points at the figure he charged for them retail. The druggist refused beoause there was reason to believe that an at tempt was being made to corner the supply. A well known physician in town as certained that a patient of his possessed an extra vaccine point. He went and begged it of him. One little colored boy called at the Emergency hospital and asked, with tears in his eyes, to be vaccinated. “You go and get one of those things,” said the surgeon in charge, “and I’ll vaccinate you.” The boy went to the apothecary and begged a vaccine point. Then he re turned to the hospital and was operated upon.—Washington Star. LONDON’S REIGN OF TERROR. A Mysterious Veiled Woman In Black and Her Thirst For Blood. Two ladies of the writer’s family were making calls just after dusk yes terday in Kensington. They had some difficulty in finding the new address of a friend, and not seeing a policeman stop ped to inquire the way to Queen’s Gate Terrace of a group of four women who happened to be approaching. Before they had time to speak two words of their question the four women turned and fled, with every evidence of sudden terror. The ladies walked on a few steps, met two more women and at tempted. to make the same inquiry. The second couple seemed seized with even greater alarm than the first group. They gathered up their skirts, ran across the street and away without waiting to hear the question. This extraordinary power to put Brit ish maids and matrons to flight by a word so amused the two American women that they tested it once or twice more, with the same result, except that one woman retained sufficient self pos session to call back, ’’Don’t know,” over her shoulder as she ran away. The incident furnishes striking proof of the literal reign of terror now pre vailing in ono of the most fashionable quarters in London by reason of the se ries of strango crimes about which the cable has already told you something. A mysterious veiled woman in black, whose mania is to stab others of her sex, has appeared no less than five times within a week in a district less than a half mile square, and although scores of de tectives are lying in wait for her she is still at large. In each case she has ap proached her victim with an inquiry about a certain street. Her first victim lost an eye, and the second was stabbed in the neck, narrowly escaping a fatal wound. The fear of her was uow wide spread, so that the others she accosted fled before she could striko them. There is some suspicion that she is a small man in disguise, as all describe the per son as having a gruff voice, but the po lice believe it is a woman, and that Bhe is undoubtedly insane.—London Letter.
