ALL ABOUT FENCE POSTS, i

farmer friends speak to me about the
irritating decay of fence posts that' 1
venture, through your columns, to tu'.
you how it can be avoided. Coating
with carbolineum avenarius, the Ger
man wood preserver, will absolutely
afrcst decay from soil, climate and ver
min. It hardens the fence post, hop
poles, ho'tse supports or oiher woodei
fixtures treated and adds many years
to their usefulness. I have saved t:rr
work and money by using this com?
pound and th;nk no thrifty farmer
should be without it I see from artic-?

Dodd. began the work of canvassing
the official vote of Ijinc couney. bnt ai
ter canvassing the vote of 36 precincts
found that the jndges of election in
C-cnp Creek and Glentena precincts
bad neglected to place a tally sheet in
the returns, and thereupon the boafrd ad
journed." Says the Eugene Guard.
"They will meet at 8 p. m., Saturday
to -complete the canvass. The only . in
ttrwi. attaching to the formality of can
vassing the vote is ' the closeness of
the county judge contest. Of cours
it is to he expected that the returns
teaming into jtlse p.rty fieadnart.rs
wowld have some errors, but these are
as. a rule minor, except in a chse vote.

"MOUNTED POLICE. Salem's po
licjg force is now mounted. For -several
months, Chief of Police D. W. Gib
son who guards the , city during the
dajs. has covered a part ot hi territory

ficejr E. B. Smith, the city's efficient
night watch, has for several months
been satisfied of the conviction that
there is nothing tot good for a Salem
policeman and recently invested in a
braitid new bicycle, which he rides about
thcJ streets feeling as 1 contented a
though he posscsst'd a flying machine.
The bicycle is" equipped with a coaster
brake, and Mr. Smith is having some
trouble in materjng the patent device,
but he expect!? to have the.. wheel mastered-

A SEVERE SPRAIN. Ed. R Car
ter, son. of Superintendent and Mrs. J.
L. Carter, of the statcblind school, is
laid up w ith a. badly 'sprained wrist, the
result of a bicycle accident Jast. Wed-
nest'ay atttrnon. Ld was ruling' at a
pretty -good gait in the eastern suburbs
of the city and in attempting to round
a corner, he failed to maintairt his equi
librium and was precipitated headlong
into a ditch adjoining the sidewalk.
As a consequence his right writ was
very severely, sprained, and besides the
rider sustained some very painful
bruises. Ed says a wheel is a great
convenience at times., when it enables
lone to -reach a destination without
mishap, but be is disposed to lelicve
that walking is the surest and invari
ably the safest mode of locomotion.
-HODGES DEFEATED. Returns
from the Crook county election on the
county clerk are .that -Arthur Hodges,
present incumbent, and continuously in
the office for twelve years, has been bad
ly tlefeated.' Hodges was elected . as a
Democrat, but for some cause followed
the dead of the lamented Grover and
was -repudiated by, the party' when the
convention met in Prineville and made
nominations a couple of months ago.
Hodges then came out as a Gold Dem
ocrat candidate, and was tak-n up and
nominated by the Republicans. The
fiwht was a bitter one. and resulted in
his being badly defeated last Monday,

said he, "that" there is a man living
who is less -military than I am. Of
course. I am Fighting Bob in "The
Rivals," but really, 1 by nature; I am
a man of peiicev. The only time J was
