This from tho Ceurier:
"Cromwell stalked into tho hull and

Smith slnlked into tho feouucH ohniu-
lier Inst uialit nud bro1a HI) Iho
Grunts l'nss luirlinmont, not figura
tively, but uetunlly. The obi rugimc
of the eity government went out in
stress mid storm, mid it nil happened
with not a word of warning that it
wis coming. As a result then wa
a verlml combat betweun Mnyor
Smith and former Mayor Myers
while a room tilled with son ted nud
fdiiuding spculators looked on ngM8-
ing.
"And this is the way it happened
"The old council, with Mayor My
ers presiding, was in session. Judge
Opdycke, set) ted at Myers' left, wn.
acting as clerk a u-.mil. Mayor
elect Smith stopped to tho tnble, and
villi nn 'excuse me,' placed his legal
piece of paper before Opdycku to
sign, and raised bis hand ho mi
sworn in. Then Mr.mith wont back
into the auditor's office and winiu of
the other newly elected ones placed
their papers before the auditor. Jn
the meantime the old council and
Myers were proceeding with bneints-.
y that time all but two ot the eouu
cilmeu had boon sworn. 'The council
will now hear a report of Expert
Wood, employed to audit the cityV
books,' said Myers. Mr. Wood
stepped to the front and begun rend
ing. Suddenly Mr. Smith came in
from the auditor's office, stood at
tho mayor's right hand and surjried
the group of statesmen and the large
audience by saving:
Criticism for Ojuljckc.
" 'The city auditor refuses to swear
in two of the newly elected couneil
meti, and I want it done, and done
now.' Mayor Mors was astounded
ami so was everybody else in the
house. Mr. Wood stoppod rondrnjj
Ins reKrt and looked on. Mr. Smith
and Mr. Myers immediately locked
horns. Myers said:
" 'What do you menu by butting in
here in this wayand at thi timet'
" 'I am not butting in hero or any
where else. I am the mayor of thU
town. I linve taken the oat If of of
fice, and you are not the mayor of
Grants Pass. Furthermore the busi
ness of this council belongs in the
hands of the men of tho imiw admin
istration; and now 1 want Ihwie two
conncilmen sworn in. It it, not a
personal mutter; it j a matter of
law.'
"Myers shoved his chair hank" with
the remark: 'Well, von cau huvo it,'
and left the table, uoing Into the
auditor's office.
" 'I do not mean to interned you
so much ns I mean Hint these men
must bo sworn in.'
Now Mayor Takes Chair.
"Mr. Smith took tb vucaut chair
and was thou and there at the head
of the city administration. lie waved
Ins hand at Wood, who was still
standing ready (o continue his ro
pnrt, and said: 4'Tlinl will do you;
sit down.' Wood sat down.
"John Hnnlhild, nii'ht jiulice officer,
added to the gayotv of the evening
after the council udjourjied but it
was not a guv moment for lianficld.

siod among the fanners of that sec
thMl.
I Am advised by Dr. Wlthycombe,
director of the agricultural depart
ment of the Oregon Agricultural col
lege," said Mr. Lounsbury today,
that experiments have been made
along the lino of securing a feed bar
ley seed that Is best suited for use
In the Willamette valley and western
Oregon, and through the experiments
mndo at the college a variety of seed
has been found that should produce
HO bushels of feed barley to the acre
In western Oregon It fs stated tlmt
this feed barley, if grown extensively
In Oregon, would be to Oregon as a
stock feed what corn Is to Iowa.
When fed to dairy cattle with hay It
will make a balnnce ration, and fed
with kale will also make a Imlanco
ration, so that the dairymen would
not need to buy bran ami shorts. It
'will be a splendid feed for fattening
hogs, chickens, and. in fact, all kinds
of live stock.
"In order to introduce this feed
the Southorn Pacific eomimny has
decided, as an industrial movement,
to purchase a quantity of It and make
distribution to farmers along tho Hue
who will undertake to plant one or
two acres, so ns to make n practical
demonstration ot whoi it will accom
plish, the (don bolug 'to promnto ag
riculture through Inducing the farm
ers to grow feed barley extensively
ns an economical feod for live stock,
which, if done, will materially in
crease the business Of raising stock,
poultry and dairying throughout
western Oregon.
"I wish to Invite tho farmers along
our lines in the Willamette valley
and southern Oregon, who arc will
ing 'to put in one or two acres of
this seed, to write to me, giving
their names and addressos, and stops
will be taken t6 secure a satisfactory
list for distribution."

Opticians agree that the light from a good oil lamp is
easier on the eyes than any other artificial light.
The Rayo Lamp is the best oil lamp made.
It gives attrong, yet soft, wlijtc light; and it never fliclcen. It pre
serves the eyesight of the young ; it helps and quickens that of the old.
You can pay $5, $10, or $20 for other lamps, hut you cannot'get
better light than the low-priced Rayo gives. ' "' " "
Made of solid brass, nickel-plated. Easily lighted, without remov
ing shade or chimney. Easy to clean and rewick.
