We are informed that a number of the dairymen are comparing t heir ret urns for butter fat ami test, with the result, ns usual, that some of them are receiving several cents per pound more for hotter tat than others. It was a tussel, when the season opened, het ween the indivi dual, co operative and combine factories, with the result that the individual fac tories came in lor a large amount of ad ditional patronage. It was healthy com petition, and it will he a survival of the fittest, ami nothing will bring this about quicker than a fair comparison of what the dairymen have received lor their but. ter lat. it is this difference of a lew cents per pound and a low and high test that is a bone of contention with dairymen Whether the combine has been instru mental in bringing more dollars into the pockets of those who have patronized them, oyer those who have patronized individual or co-operative factories, the end of the year will reveal the fact, what the H eadlight stated when the agita tion was going onto brirg al) the fac tories into a combine, that it was well to let well alone, for the dairvmen, whether they were patronizing individual or co operative factories, were doing well and better than they had ever done before.

Better returns could be made from less landifit were properly handled. Large business concerns could not be run on the principles employed on many farms, there being too large a percentage of waste. To illustrate how economi cally some "f the large business plants of the cities are run we cite the case of a huge packing plant that requires all would think the stub ol a lead pencil of auv value? Ami yet* when several hundred pencils are in daily use it can be seen at once that the graphite in the remnants of these pencils is after all of some value. It is in the saving effected in little things like these that enhance the profits in large concerns, and we see no reason why many of the principles employed are not appli- cable on the farm. While there will he no lead pencils to return, or any thing of this kind, yet the same busi ness instict that suggested saving the lead pencil stubs will see on every hand an opportunity to effect a saving.

This is not only an important decision as far as that cotintv is concerned, but effects most every coun ty in the state, Tillamook as well, for it is a well-known fact that the previous county court compromised and reduced taxes in a number of cases which were considered at the time|flagarant abuse of public office in this county.

I Thus the Council finds it impossible to elect new men to fill the vacancies, and the city charter fails to make any especial provision for the filling of vacant Council chairs by popular vote. * * * There is a band of horse and cattle rustlers operating along Snake River in Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washing ton. They are very active and leave no , definite clews. The rustlers makeraids and drive horses and cattle across Snake River into Idaho, where they spirit them away and eventually dispose ot them in some market thus far unknown to the owners.

He disappeared and Satur day his dead body with a bullet hole in the head was found by a detective on the shores of Lake Washington. On his person was a life insurance policy for $2000 taken out after the shortage was discovered. In a letter to his employer found on the dead man’s clothes he states that the insurance will cover the shortage. Murfin's wife has just ascer tained that she was not legally married to the man, having been induced by him to go through what proves to have been a mock marriage. It was performed by a friend of Murfin. * * * Mi s. Griffith J.

She was shot late Thursday night in her room in the Hotel Arcadia, at Santa Monica, where she, with her husband and 15-year-old son had been spending the Summer months. Following the shooting she either jumped or fell, it is said, from the window of her room and landed on the roof of a porch on the level of the floor below.
