A natural apathy was apparent m tho cattle market this week, follow In tho big stock show, when excep tionally heavy shipments wcro mntlo.

Killers had supplied their needs temporarily nnd will hnvo to work off tho surplus, but ns liquida tion will bo light for the next few months tho situation ts expected to Improvo this next week. Tho hog market dropped off 10 cents during tho week, with extreme top at $7.S5 for tho week's closo for cholco stuff, with heavy stock 10 to 15 cents down. Liberal liquidation Increases tbo scasonablo weakness. Tho sheep house business held up well for the week. Somo cholco mut ton and lambs wcro marketed. Lambs moved easily at $G.25 and prlmo wethers held their own nt 15.00. H-hllo owes closed around 14.00, when cholco stuff was offered. "unsolicited indorsements" received from all over the state, and his hat is in the ring. An analysis of the campaign in Rooth s behalf to date is interesting, lie was shoved in the limelight by Presi dent of the Senate Dan .1. Malarkey, as chairman of the Oregon Panama-Pacific fair board. .It was at first decided to make Rooth the Orcgonian machine candidate for gov ernor then he was switched to the senatorial class.' A carefullv prepared plan w'atv outlined and followed. Mr." booth was waited upon by a large delegation of his fellow-townsmen and neighbors, organized" by the Eugene Commercial club. 'Speeches were made ami photos taken for the Oregouian. Hundreds of letters were sent in advance, to prominent republicans throughout the state asking them to indorse the candidaew and' the "un solicited indorsements' determined his course.

"to visit Mr. Rooth personally and assure him of tho support and loyalty of their communities." The nlatform will be announced later. Mr. Rooth is a successful business man, a pioneer who has built up a large fortune as head of the Hooth-Kcllv Lumber company, from which he has retired. "What his particular training or capacity is to represent Oregon in the senate is yet to be demonstrated. What crimes he has committed to be selected as tho victim of the slaughter by the" Orcgonian are also unknown. The Oregouian 's record of nolitiwil victories is un broken. Its political graveyard is full to overflowing with candidates it hris chosen for the people. Pultoii. Withyeombe, Rowerman, Selling, are onlv a few of its more recent standard-bearers that have felt its passionate kiss of political death. Surely Mr. Rooth deserves a bet ter fate -but lie too, has listened to the song of the iour nalistic hag and is being lured to political destruction. Modioli. Poo. COMMUNICATION.

To tho Editor nnd Citizens at Larue: As there is nfurc or less contro versy at the present time on the con dition of our city j-overnmtmt, 1 would like to sny n few words. It seems to mo that tho eitv af fairs should be run on yn nbsoluto business basis. No manufacturing concern of any cnlibro could bo sue cessfully conducted without bcin operated in a thoroughly systematic manner, nnd our city government' must be conducted on tho same bas'n to be successful. As I understand, our city-offnirs today, they aro mora or less in bad shape; we have gone into debt for.unncccssnry things, especially iiunnu .uicsc iiuru uuu-a, throngh.-hicb:-tnxcs-JiaTft.b.?eijliiir-1 ('rcitscir awny out of -proportion to the present valuation of property. In all well-regulated cities, taxes always raise and fall with tho m crcabo nnd decrease pf property val uations? Iu pur;, city the, actual valu ation of property has steadily dc elined for the past three years, while taxation has been on tho increase, wjiih.-s ft had state , of affairs.- It has a tendency to drive away pros pective investors of capital, has n depressine; influence on business in general, works n hardship on nil proiwrly holders- nnd especially on those .of our citizens who have man fully fitood by our little city nnd paJJT their taxes nlmost without a inunnur. Today these somo citizens aro beginninu to feel that they urc overburdened nnd arc lookinu about for relief. Now, there is always a eauso for every effect, nnd the only way to obtain relief is for us (o find tho causo nnd eradicate it, and thnt will bring our longed-for relief. To begin with, retrenchment is of great importance; thero is no ques tion in my mind but what the run ning expenses of this municipality can bo reduced, also a saving made in numerous other ways. These things nro absolutely necessary un der tho present condition of affair. To begin with, salary to council- men should cense, sinco mo worn required of them hns so greatly di minished with the cessation of pun lie improvements. The petty sum of o per month is surely no induce ment to any qualified man of busi ness, ami ns for those who hnvo not theso nualitleationK, our council chamber is not tho plat-o for such. Our "city dads" hhould ho only Mich men ns havo demonstrated their ability as practical economical fin anciers, men of wido affairs. As our election draws near, it hc mo.i'C$ our beM phus of citizens to bo nwako to their duty and uso all honorable menus to induco such a olnss of men to sorvo our city and get it into proper running order. jlfor tho benefit of our incoming city officers) I will herewith give somo of my experience ns general superintendent of construction nnd operation of a million dollar manu factory in tho slato of Iowa for a period of nino yonrn.' This plant was run on a system ntic, economical basis. Kach depart ment had to, stand-on its own bot tom, nnd receipts and disbursements of cacudepiirtment had to be kenl absolutely separale, no "robbing lv- tcr to pay Paul," ns has been done in our city affairs, or to put it more plainly, uing funds from one de partment lo make up a deficiency in nnother. Our system was to take stock the Inst Sunday of every mouth nnd have trial balance sheet in my hnnd tho firt of each mio cceding month, thus enabling mo to Jco ht a glance if thero was any deficit or overplus in any depart ment, then it would immediately m remedied, so keeping our business in n healthy condition nt all times, with no chance for lenkngc. All new con struction work should be classified .under tho head of "betterment ac count." . I am sure this would prove n.ycry good system to employ in running pur city affairs, n at any timciVfnr mg tho year our citizens could -read ily learn how our city finance Mood, thus doing nwav with (he mixing of funds, and so complicating the bin- mess, nnd at tho ycur end it would bo an easy matter to make up "the annual report. It matters not lmt form of eitv government we hnve, commission or otherwise, unless it is conducted in a hyi-temntic bui-. ncss mnnncr results will he unsatis factory. To suggest how our city business could bo managed along thii-. line, let a committee of three councilman be appointed ns auditing nnd finance committee, their business to nudit nil bills nt the end of each month. Tho recorder lo turn over n 'trial balance sheet in u condensed form llio first of every month to this com mittee,' said committee will thiif. know condition of affairs in each Coi'lVo Schilling's Mest comes from the upper ten per cent of the world's cof fee crop.
