From Sunday' Dally). -At
a meeting of Salem Grange No. 17,
yesterday afternoon, several matters of

Harris Bill No. 196. which provides for
jusi assessment of certain corpora

people; and, - v:,- . 4,H-.:
! "Whereas: these corporations, uMer
our present revenue laws, are not com

the burden of taxation, over so per

unjustly j imposed on real ' property
therefore," be it . ' ' - ' - -. . -., t-x- ,
r "ResolvedUhat' it is the sense of this

HE WILL SPRAY WITH POWER '
! I M. Gilbert, tne 'prune 'grower In the
Rosedale district, in the hills south of
Salem. is getting ready to do spraying
by power, and he will be in condition
to make it most interesting for all the

climes. Ther war unloaded yestefday
at Jhe store rf B.lL Wade a Co, in
this. city, a Bea-epeajtAutnt. ora
plete. to be run with a gasoline engine.
The engine and the pumping apparatus
and attachments, all together, make up
quite a formidable appearing outfit,
weighing something less than a ton.
This is probably the -- first gasoline
spraying outfit to go Into the Rosedale
district. It is to be mounted on a wa
gon -and hauled about in the orchard
wherever needed, and no doubt an lm
mense amount of execution can be done
Jn. a .day, frith, the, aid of a man,4o op

.SPECTOR HAS EXAMINED THE
ROUTES AND CANDIDATES.
DALLAS, Feb. liStatesman Spe
cialsThe inspector of the rural' mail
routes for Oregon has 'today closed the
examination of the two proposed routes
tributary to Dallas! These routes lay.
one to the southwest of. Dallas, and the
other to the northwest. Each route
will cover about twenty-two miles and
will each accommodate about SOOpeo-
ple. The southwest route will run
from Dallas to the James Burns' place,
thence up the valley of the Luckiamute
on the south side, to near Falls City,
then down the Luckiamute, north side
of the; creek, to the Wilson Lee place.
thence northeast from the McBee road
to Dallas. The northwest route will be
northwest from Dallas to Salt Creek.
thence down the west side of Salt Creek
to a point wo miles south of Ballston,
thence east to intersect the county road
from Dallas to Perry dale, thence south
to Dallas by way of Smithfield and the
Polk county stations on the Southern
Pacific railroad.
'The inspector expressed surprise at
ibe number of people on these routes,
and will recommend that they be es
tablished, which is understood te be
virtually final, except the cutting of
red tape at Washington., and service
wilt probably commence April 1st.
The inspector made the examination
of applicants for carriers while here, as
follows: -. M. B. Grant. J. H. - Foster, -J,
DP Shaw and , A. W. Dockstader. Six
-hundred dollars will be the salaries of
the carriers, they to furnish their own
vehicles and horses, with the privilege
off carrying packages for pay.
.These routes. It Is supposed, will In
crease the patronage of the Dallas post
office at least 25 per cent, and be a
source . of inestimable convenience to
"more than 1200 people who are now re
joicing over the prospect' it their early
