STOCK HEALTHY
COUNTY INSPECTOR D. D. HEELER,
BEPOBTS BUT FEW CASES OP
SCAB AND MANGE.
Quarterly BeporfW Inspector Contains
Some Valuable Recommendations with
Reference to Mange Among Horses
Whipper Road Ordered Established.
D. D. Keeler, stock inspector for
Marion county, has filed his quarterly
report with the Marion eounty commis
sioners' court, showing the general con
dition of the livestock throughout the
county. The inspector reports having
found two bands of sheep affected with
scab and. also several cases oi mange
among the horses and with reference to
the latter makes some important rec
ommendations. The text of the report
follows:
"In again reporting to the; court I
can say that since my last only two
bands of sheep have been found having
scab, one band was found by Shearer
Cutsfortb. and reported by him; the
other I found south of Silverton snd
was a part of the Johnson band. Both
flocks were promptly dealt -with by the
owners and dipped immediately after
being shorn. I have no word from any
other of the shearers and I think 1
would nave heard from them had they
found any trouble along this line.
"I have found several cases of mange
among the horses and one eolt was kill
ed, being very much emaciated, and
the owner choosing to destroy it rather
than treat it. They were either natives
or well broken bunch-grass steek and
were quite easily handled. I am of the
opinion, and I think it welt founded,
that horses brought in here and traded
and swapped about are somewhat re
sponsible,, for the perpetuation of this I
troublesome disease. The common horse
trader docs not handle generally a very
desirable class of stock and their horses
should oe looked thoroughly over,' I
think, by the stock inspector, a duty
I shall attend to in the future. Really,
I believe when they eater a eounty they
should be compelled to put their stock
in quarantine for ' fifteen days before
being allowed to. trade or sell them;
"the horse trader cap,-when he finds he
has gotten a horse with mange, give
him one good spraying and before the
eggs hatch .out (and the eggs cannot
be killed by the dip or spray) trade him
off to the unsuspecting farmer and thus
inocuate the farmer's whole, herd. This
has been the case I think, in. several in
stances coming under my notice this
spring. The farmer who has made such
a purchase or trade ail unsuspecting,
drives this animal to town and hitches

With the receipt and acceptance of
the resignation of Margaret Gooding
by the board of school directors last
evening, the Salem schools are left
without a high school teaeher and there
are no applications on file for the po

Gooding tenders her resignation upon
the ground that she has received an
other position at most double the
amount of salary she was to have re

again upon its resources and the ques

at the salary offered, again confronts
tbem. So far the vacancy is unfilled
and tbe board does not know in which
direction to look for a successor.

Miss Carrie Burlingame of Portland,
and this was filled by the board last

able reputation of having received the
highest average per cent, that . of 93,

as an applicant for tbe position as she
lacks the necessary teacher s experi

that a place will be found for her up
on the substitute list as she is regarded
a bright : and promising instructor.
The chief drawback against Miss Strah

amounting to $270, for changing the

at the request of Supervising'Architect

some of the members of the board as
to the authority f the latter to make
changes in the plans , of the building
without consulting or notifying the
board. The claim was referred to the

"Has the supervising architect the
right to make these changes without
consulting the board! ' Chairman Con

thority eonfered upon 'the architect to
his knowledge, and the matter was al
lowed to rest there for the present.
. At this juncture Mr. Lee broaehea
the subject of the proposed bond issue
for the payment of tbe expenses inci
dent to the buinlding of the new school,
and aftersome discussion, it was finally
decided not to issue bonds but to issue
promissory notes ' in smeunt ranging
from $50 upwards and the matter was
left to Chairman Condit to arrange in
all respects legal, and he will make his
report at tbe next meeting. The mat
ter of how contracts should be let up
on different matters was introduced by
Dr. Byrd, who stated that he had look
ed, tbe question up and had found that
'the board was bound to advertise for
bids for all contracts involving the ex
penditure of money in the sum of $500
or more, and the board will be governed
in its future actions accordingly.
Dr. Byrd also brought up the subject
oi the purchase of supplies tor the sci
ence department of the high school and
his motion to the effect that the. city
superintendent be instructed to pur
chase the list of supplies, aggregating
a eost of $197.95, from the firm making
the lowest offer. He also submitted a
report recommending tbe purchase of
250 desks; forty 8-foot tab.et settees,
and 150 talffft chairs, the estimated cost
of which aggregates $1640. and this rec
ommendation, put in the form of a mo
tion, wag adopted unanimously. The
chemical supplies ami apparatus, it was
stated, could be purchased from local
supply houses.
The committee, composed of Directors
Byrd, Lee and condit, appointed to In
vestigate the charges of attempted
graft on the part of ex-City Superin
tendent Travcr in the matter of the
contract for the installation of the
heating plant for tbe new school build
ing, rendered its report, the effect of
which was that, after a thorough in
vestigation so far as it could be made
without tnking personal testimony and
based upon the affidavits of several par
ties concerned, the charges were not
fully ssutained and recommended that
they be dismissed. The matter was dis
posed of according to the recommenda
tion of the committee. The balance of
the meeting of the board was devoted
to the consideration of several claims
against the district, which were refer
red to the finance committee for a re

To the Editor:
A most pitiful display of petty pol
itics is the editorial ia The capital
Jourpal of last evening attempting to
array the taxpayers' lesgue of Salem
against the Republican city administrs
ttoa. It makes no difference who in
spired this or in whose interest it is
written, it is certain to - re-act, for
among fair-minded members of both the
council and taxpayers' league, there is
mutual friendship an respect. Repub
licans who have been hoping that some
thing might come out of the proposal
to hold a peace conference in the city
of Portland will appreciate now what
kind of peacemakers they have to con
tend with.
.Many Republicans, too, are wonder
ing why .one who supported Bryan
twice, who supported the Democratic
state ticket at the last election, and
who has repeatedly fought our Repub
lican city tickets, should be allowed to
lecture old-time Republicans as to what
ia their duty and to continually sow
discord ia the Republican ranks. It is
said that he is an applicant for a posi
tion ia the treasury, department at
Washington. It will be interesting to
know what promises have been given
him and by whom, when so t many frian
who have always been consistent Re
publicans are overlooked. V

is "a candidate for the Republican nomi

that day Mr. Hofer's paper comes out
with four or five columns published to
boom the aspirations of that candidate.
People ' have wondered if it was an
accidental , coincidence and lave won
dered bow long the English language
and the candidate's purse will last un
der such conditions. It is the general
understanding that the publication of
all these laudatory articles costs money
Whether tbey are written by the can

ers St his Solicitation. Your corre
spondent "Republican" refers to a
matter this morning that has puzzled a
good many other people. As tow Jour
nal sapported Bryan twice, and also
supported the Democratic state tickct
at the last election, snd has, as a rule,
fought all our Republican city, tickets,
it seems strange that it should now be
taking such interest in Republican pol.
itics. A prominent Democrat is aiil!
ity for the statement that the editor of
that paper boasted to him a few days
ago that he supported Governor Cham-'
berlain at the last election and tnat in
all probability he would do so again.'
