He did not wish to criticise his predecessor, but certain parts of the county bad been favored. "Town property is dead, and is not worth a darn and will not sell for much, ' continued Mr Deakin, "and cat tie in our county have been assessed for more than they would bring in the mark -t ;yet I intend to assess all in sight. In some cases I shall raise, but tbe aver age will be about the same. Any man who goes into increase taxes in Linn would better move, and I waa raised there. Assessor Sears called attention to the fact that the visitors should come to some agreement regarding their inten tions in the matter of percentage on cash values. With the exception of Messrs Sterling and Deakin, all were of the opinion that their assessments would run from 75 per ant to 80 per cant of cash values for tbe ensuing year. Orxgon HaADQCAKTaaa .

Yesterday the Dcho. crat published an item from a Eugene paper, which needs the following to do the subject justice and complete the stu rv. It referred to the marriage of A B Scott and Susie Bodell: We supposed the marriage had been consummated, but it appears there was a hitch in the proceedings and Mr Scott has lost Susie and the $2.80 that waa Cald for the license. The prospective ride was engaged by means of a matri monial bureau, the contracting parties never having met before Monday, the day on which the license was issued. Susie arrived on the train at Creswell from her Eastern home that day, but something was wrong, probably the air, water, or scenery, and on the next mor ning she boarded the train and left for her old home without having given a minister or J P a chance to tie the mari tal knot, that would have made her Mrs Scott. Needs CeoLiKC Off. "It is a singular thing," said a gentleman, at the Willam ette Hotel, last evening, "remarkably singular, that the community at large, should spend three hundred and sixty-five days a year damning the Sou'hem Pacific railroad, and yet, at such a moment a this nd in such an emergency, should side with the road In condemning a man, who, whether he tried to wreck a train, or was one of a gang who tried, waa at least the man who stopped the train and averted one of the most terrible disasters Oregon has ever seen." Salem Journal The man who made the above remark ought to bandage his head with cold cloth for a vear. The public wants the truth regard less ot parties interested. If Richardson fixed the rail in order to get t reward, hi flagging the train would be only a part of the program, and he ought to be punished to the fullest extend ot the law. But did he do It, that lathe only question, even though a railroad Is a party to It. Sao.
