i er, then he turned about and faced Livestock Board Fights Unscrupulous Dealers be prosecuted by the State Livestock Sanitary board in every case where it is found that they have failed to re port the sale of tuberculin, as required by law. The statute covering the subject states that “ in order to sell, give away or dispose of to another any tu berculin, the party so doing shall within three days make a written re port to the state veterinarian, showing the names and addresses of the per sons to whom such tuberculin has been delivered.” Violations of this law are, on conviction, punishable by a fine of from $50 to $250. No one, not even veterinarians, hereafter are to be allowed to inject tuberculin into animals without authorization of the State board. Portland— A vigorous campaign is to be waged by the State Livestock Sanitary board against unscrupulous dairy cattle brokers, who have been shipping into Oregon many worthless and occasionally diseased cows. Many cows have been coming in with tuber culin tests purporting to have been administered in the states from which they were shipped, and yet these cows have been found to react to the test when it is given in this state. A p pointments authorizing veterinarians to make these tests in three adjoining Btates have been revoked by these states at the request of the Oregon State board, because it was found that in many cases the tests were fraudu lent.

Contributory Negligence No Relief From Liability Salem— The Supreme court, Justice Burnett writing the opinion, in affirm ing a verdict for the plaintiff in the case of O. W. Dunn against the Orch ard Land & Timber company, clearly defined the employers’ liability act. The plaintiff was awarded damages for injuries received in falling from a slab haul operated by the defendant company in Lane county. It was al leged that the board walk upon which the plaintiff worked was not supplied with a proper railing. Citing that the act requires all scaffolding and staging more than 20 feet from the ground or floor shall be provided with a strong safety rail, the court says that contributory negli gence of the person injured shall not be a defense, but may be taken into account by the jury in fixing the dam ages. The opinion further says: “ The statute having made it a crim inal offense on the part o f the employ er to create or maintain an avoidable risk, the contract of the workmen for employment will not be construed to include such a hazard, because that would be to contract for a violation of law by at least one of the parties, and hence void as against public policy.” Wormy Applea Are Found. Portland — County Fruit Inspector Stansberry condemned 60 boxes of Willamette Valley Pears Fast Coming to Front Albany — That in the next decade pears will become one o f the leading crops o f the Willamette valley is the prophecy o f E. C. Roberts, of Leb anon, ex-fruit inspector of Linn coun ty and one of the valley’s best-known horticulturists. He bases his state ment on the success that has been ob tained where pear-growing has been tried in the valley and the growing market for Oregon pears in the East. During the past few years Mr. Rob erts, who is now one of Linn county’s commissioners on the organization ar ranging for the Willamette valley ex hibit at the San Francisco exposition, has investigated fruit conditions thor oughly throughout the valley, and his statement about prospective pear cul ture is not an idle one. He says that pears o f splendid quality are grown in the valley, and there is no blight here to interfere with their culture. 400 Birds Exhibited at Monmouth Poultry Show Monmouth— The annual Polk County Poultry association exhibit went on record as having been the largest and best show since it was organized. About 400 birds were on exhibition and the valuable cups and other prizes offered attracted exhibitors from vari ous counties.

They were rising, each trying to gain In elevation. Rositta cried to Santos: "W hy can’t we rise faster?” “There are three of us and only one of Napoleon.” “Did you hear that, Sulamov?*’ sharply said Rositta. He bowed sub missively. “Your ancestors were always ready to die for their sovereign; are you?’’ “I am !" "Thank you!” She smiled at the Russian and pointing to the side door of the aerodromone, continued: “This way, my boy, we are too heavy.” Sulamov kissed her hand and opened the door calmly. With a last ardent look, he jumped. The Princess leaped upward, gain ing rapidly on the Eagle. Rositta urged Santos and watched Napoleon, who was following every move of the attacking Princess cloeely. He could have dipped again and run away, but that was not his game. They almost touched, and the Prin cess Rositta shouted through the speaking tube: “Give up, Mr. Peace President; you have no chance!” Indeed, It seemed so; the larger bird made a leap toward the Eagle that was below her, but a twist of the steering wheel saved him. Napoleon was watching the east anxiously, and Roeitta’s eyes were focused on Napo leon. She felt sure that he was help lessly prolonging the surrender. This dangerous play went on until Napoleon could see the widely extend ed fleet of aerodromones with hie naked eye. He dipped downward, and stopped In the air, about two hundred feet above the surface of Pamlico Sound. There the Eagle awaited the Princess. As sho made a desperate rush for him, he escaped again, almost by a miracle, then turned and darted after the Princess madly, changing from the pursued into the pursuer. They rose upward together and Napo leon waved a smiling salute to the princess. The aerodromones of the latter were approaching steadily. She seemed to have forgotten them entirely In the heat of the pursuit, while she was the aggressor, but now, when Napoleon turned against her, she quickly turned to the stylograph and gave orders to her fleet to close in upon them, but not to Interfere until It was necessary for her safety. Napoleon plainly heard the message and waited until she had broken con nection, then he faced her machine and unhurriedly pulled a lever that was connected with the tube that had been lately attached to all his aerodro mones. A thick stream of white liquid shot out and landed squarely upon the left wing of the Princess. The bird trembled. Santos calmly turned on the emergency dry battery and, like a great wounded bird, the Princess began to settle downward. The white stream was stopped, a deft turn of the wheel, a well-directed move and the Eagle slipped between the wings of the Princess, and she was a prisoner. Rositta was as pale as death. The terrible disappointment of losing, when victory was so near, made her faint. Then she remembered her fleet and signaled orders quickly. She had not noticed that Napoleon, just before he turned on the liquid that had disabled her machine, had hoisted a red signal, and a great fleet of aerodromones rose from the coast along North Carolina and silently closed in on the fleet of the enemy. The formation of Pamlico Sound made this maneuver easy and Napo leon had cleverly led Rositta and her fleet Into the trap. He turned his Eagle landward and, weighted as he was, moved slowly away. His men had been fully Instructed In regard to their action and W histler led them. SYNOPSIS.
