Dairymen Making Comparisons.
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. It
now remains lor the combine to prove
whether it has improved conditions and
brought about the golden era for the
dairymen of l his county.

that men are attempting to do too

Large business concerns could not be

farms, there being too large a percentage
of waste. To illustrate how economi

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

thing of this kind, yet the same busi

The County Court Ims no power to
compromise delinquent taxes for any rea
son whatsoever, was the decision which
was rendered by Judge Cleland in Mult
nomah county.
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. These taxes
will now have to he paid and it is only
right that they should be.

Charles H. Murfin, a Seattle book
keeper, was accused bv his employers a
few days ago of being short in his
accounts. He left the office with the
promise »hat he would make good the
shortage. 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.
