Improvement in'Binders. The Amount of Business Transacted Dur ing the Last Fiscal Year. Oil March 31st the fiscal year ends In the postoffices throughout the United States. From the yearly report of the postmaster of McMinnville, J.C.Cooper we learn that the total amount of busi ness done through this office was *3703.73, divided into quarters as fol lows: April 1 to June 30, 1892.............* 909.00 July 1 to Sept. 30, 1892............... 813.77 Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 1892................ 1054.75 Jan. 1 to March 31, 1893 ........... 926.39 For the year ............................ *3073.73 The increase of this year’s business over the last year is *200. The salury of the office based on the past year’s busi ness will be *1500; to this should be ad ded the fees of the postmaster from the money order appointment, which amounts to *100. The government al lows this office *230 per year for rent and *54 for light and fuel. The balance of trade in the money order business is in the favor of the city over *1000 each year. These figures will no doubt be interesting to the var ious candidates for this office and no doubt will increase their rustle for it. *1600 a year does not fall to a man just because he wants it. It takes consider able time, expense and pull to get the position. But when be gets it be can rest easy for four years Knapp, Burrell & Co. have just re- celved a earload of the celebrated Deer ing binders. This machine lias many improvements not heretofore used, one of which is the jointed platform. By the removal of two small bolts, that the farmer can carry in ids vest pocket or in the tool box, the platform can be telescoped to less than half of its work ing width and this can be accomplish ed in live minutes by one man unaid ed. This patented device is owned and controlled by Wm. Deering & Co., and the Deering binder is the only one us ing it. Trucks for moving the binder are no longer necessary, as when tele scoped, the Deering machine will pass through any ordinary farm gate and travel any wagon road. Farmers, do not fail to see this binder and carefully examine this and other exclusive feat ures before buying. We also invite your attention to the new Buffalo Pitts thresher on exhibition at our storeroom. E. N. F ord , Manager. Notice to Taxpayers.

Martin«, of the North Yamhill Hauk, De. In. I. Training In Ihl. City tor III. Msteli Wlln Keogh. May I7lh. Leaves Between Two Days. Deposits Amount to 90000. Thursday morning Sheriff Warren went to North Yamhill to serve an at tachment on the Farmers and Traders bank and feuud that C. A. Martine, the cashier, owner, etc., lied left for parts unknown during the night. It was ascertained that be bad been driv en to Forest Grove, where he took the early morning train for Portland. From there he went north on the Northern Pacific and his whereabouts are unknown. He is probably talking about the gullable people of Yamhill with Baldrich and Reeves in Kansas City. The sheriff entered the bank and not a cent of money could be found. The books show that about *6,000 was on deposit when the bank closed. Some of this has lieen paid but it is impossible to find the amount of payments. The Commercial bank of Portland was garnisheed and answered that the bank held *12,266.70 In notes given to the North Yamhill bank, as cel lateral to secure a loan of *13,281.17. We understand that some of the givers of these notes hold Martine's receipts of their payment, he not remitting to the Portland bank when the notes were paio. These notes will have to be paid over again. The total loss will be In the neighborhood of *6,000 or over and it looks as if Martine was just the amount of loss ahead. Real ’Estate. Home of our citizens have no doubt noticed a very well formed and hand some featured young man go up Third street each morning, carrying a heavy walking stick, walking very rapidly, clothed in neatly fitting garments with a sweater underneath his coat aud bis face streaming with perspiration. He is seen every morning about 10 o’clock, rain or shine. It is William Devine, who has made this eity Ills training quarters. He is getting in condition for a boxing contest, or, as some people are pleased to call it, a prize fight. The contest will be with William Keogh, of Portland, before the Pastime club of that city and will take place on May 17th. The articles of agreement call for a twenty-round contest, the referee having power to order more rounds if the contest cannot be settled in that time. There is a side bet of *250 and a certain percentage of the gate receipts go to the winner. This is the first real professional fighter that has been in this city and of course the work of get ting him in condition is watched care fully by not only the people who are inclined to’be sporty, but by the people who like to see any well-formed heal thy animal. The prize fight of to-day is not the brutal thing of years ago, when men pummeled each other into insensibility with the naked fist. The tight of to day is a test of endurance, wind and courage more than auytliing else. Per fect health and long staying powers and a well developed head are the es sential things in a fight. Home of our readers no doubt know but little of a contest of this nature, and it might be well to say that the men enter a 24 foot ring stripped to the waist, hav ing upon each band a soft buckskin glove stuffed with four ounces of the best hair. They attempt to bang each other on the nose or any other portion of the body above the waist, hard *enough to knock the other down and have him remain down for the long time of ten seconds. They do this for three minutes, then a gong sounds and ughting must cease for one minute when they go at it again. The fight is won by the person who knocks the other down and he remains on the floor for a period of ten seconds. The work done by a prize tighter in getting in condition is severe, and none but the most healty personsjean stand it- For instance, Mr. Devine arises at 6 a. in. and takes a brisk walk of two miles or more before breakfast. This meal consists of a mutton chop or rare be^f steak and plenty of toasted bread, washed down with a little cold tea. After breakfast he goes to the race track and does'eight miles, the last two being made iu a run. He then goes to his quarters where he is stripped and two men rub him down, give him an alco hol bath and dress',him in clean clothes. He then rests until dinner, which con sists of roasts and plenty of bread at least three days old. At 2 o’clock lie goes to liis.training room and punelies the bag,[spars, swings clubs and jumps the rope until 4 o’clock, when he [goes out upon the street and strolls around until supper, which is a very light meat After supper he takes a brisk walk and at 8:30 is in bed. The total amount of liquid taken during the day is one quart of cold tea. He does not drink any intoxicating liquor, neither does he smoke. He is 24 years of age, 5 feet 11} inches in height and will weigh 180 pounds when he steps in the ring. His opponent is older, weighs more and has had;more] experience, and is in training at the ¡Macadam house, near Portland. Ed Getehell is training De vine and during the last two weeks of his stay here he will hove a Mr. King as spurring expert. Mr. Devine is very pleasant and is well informed, and no one would think from his appearance that he was a fighter, except that he is a well built and perfect model of strength.

When one scheme is publicly exposed, these fel lows immediately have recourse to an other which Is equally successful. In fact there seems to tie an exhaustless ingenuity shown iu devlsiug new and dlshouest schemes to trap the unwary aud overconfident. They have invented a new and very smooth dodge which has recently been practiced very successfully in eastern Oregon towns. A number of eases have very lately been reported about LaGrande, Union, Baker City and other points not remote from those named. The mode of operating is as follows: A business mau, merchant or banker at one of those places will receive a let ter purporting to come from one of the prominent mercantile houses of Port land. The letter is printed on a type writer, and is thoroughly business-like in appearance and language. It says in substance, that Mr. ----- , giving some name, “who is representing our firm on the road, expects to visit your town in the course of a few days or weeks. Should be be short of funds while in your olty and should call on you, will you please honor his draft to the amount of *30, *40, *50 or *60, etc., and much oblige?’’ Of course the letter is a forgery, but the firm or person to whom it is ad dressed does not find that out until too late. A great many of such letters, it is said have been sent out. It gener ally happens that the firm to whom the letter is addressed have dealings with the firm from whom the letter purports to be sent. Of course, not knowing that it is a forgery, the firm can very easily be imposed upon and swindled. Sure enough, Mr. ------- makes his appearance in the town. He is “just a little short in the cash, you know. Col lections have been a little light,” etc. He never falls to call on the firm who have already been written. “My firm has written you to make me a little ad vance if it is convenient,” says the smooth operator. Of course he is a very neatly dressed young fellow; looks just like a drummer; has a keen business, bland address, and is a good talker. He is Mr.----- ‘ the same gen tleman mentioned in the letter. To make a long story short, his draft is honored on sight; he pockets the loose change, thanks the cashier with a smile, tips his hat and walk« away. He is not seen again. Afterward the firm makes the discovery that the let ter is a gross forgery, and that the nice young chap is a swindler of the first water. But lie is nowhere to be found. This seheme has been recently work ed very successfully aud a number of persons victimized. How many con fidence men are engaged in this kind of swindling, how many letters written and how many firms are involved are conundrums which cannot now be an swered. The only way to avoid being victimized is for every firm and person to decline to honor the draft of any and every slick looking fellow who says he is Mr. Blank; that he is a drummer; that he represents such and such a well known firm In Portland or else where, and that he is “Just a little short at present.” This course will save trouble and—coin.— Alban)/ Herald.
