PERSONAL MENTION COUNTY TAXPAYERS ARE SLOW IN PAYING LESS THAN THIRD OF TOTAL AMOUNT IS PAID Approximately $145,000 Has Been Received by Sheriff Taylor Only Fire Days Left in Which 5 Per Cent Rebate Is Effective. Never since the rebate tax law, went into effect have the taxpayers of Umatilla county been so slow In set tling their accounts with the county. Less than one third the total amount has been paid in to date, whereas in the past, fully twice this much has been paid in. On!y five days more remain in which the three per cent rebate will be allowed. ' According to present indications about one-third of the taxpayers of the county will take advantage of the provision of the law which allows them to pay one-half of their taxes before the first Monday in April and then have until the first Monday In October to pay the remainder. In the past less than one-tenth of the to tal amount of taxes have been col lected in the fall. Of the total amount of taxes col lected up to date, $69,000 was from the O. R & N. The following is the synopsis of the tax law prepared by Sheriff Taylor: If you pay your taxes on or before March 15 you wilj be allowed a re bate of 3 per cent. If you pay your taxes before March 15 and up to and including the first Monday in April, there will not be any rebate allowed and neither will there be any penalty or interest add ed. If your taxes are not paid on or be fore the first Monday in April, they will become delinquent, when there will be added a penalty of 10 per cent and the tax will also draw interest at the rate of 12 per cent pear annum in addition to the penalty. If you pay one-half of your taxes on or before the first Monday in April, then the remaining half may run up to and including the first Monday in October following-, but if the last half of tax due is not paid by the first Monday in October, it becomes delin quent, and there will be added to such balance a penalty of 10 per cent, and in addition, such balance will bear interest at the rate of 12 per cent per annum from the first Monday in April until paid. On all personal property taxes, if one half is not paid on or before the first Monday of April, the law com pels the sheriff to levy upon and col lect the same after May 1, hence to prevent a levy upon personal property after May 1 it will be necessary for one-half to be paid as above stated.

There Is a vast number of pale, thin, scrawny people who are all brains and nerves, but without the strength and health that accompanies the standard weight. Good flesh and perfect health go to gether. A true flesh forming food like Samose is absolutely necessary to many people. No one can use this wonderful flesh-forming food for 10 days without a noticeable gain in flesh and strength. Carefully kept, statistics show that out of every hundred people who begin the use of Samose, 98 per cent increase in weight and their health and strength are restored. So much confidence Is placed In this remarkable flesh forming food and health restorer that A. C. Koeppen & Bros., through Instructions from the Dr. Howard company, are willing and glad to allow any customer to deposit 60 cents with them and take home a box of Samose with the understanding that If it does not give a marked In crease in good firm flesh the money will be returned without questions.

Antastsia Bogui, daughter of a wealthy land owner, conceived a pas sion for Janos Vojtlla, a violinist and chief of a gypsy gang, and an elope ment was arranged. It was agreed that the gypsies should attack the land owner's castle and pretend to carry the girl away by force. VoJ tila promised to take her to America, saying he would make a name there by his playing. A night attack on the castle was duly made, but, having secured the girl, the gypsies proceeded to plun der the castle while the girl and her lover fled In a caravan. The land owner and his servants armed them selves, killed two gypsies, wounded others, and finally forced them to re treat. Then, when order was restored the land owner first noticed that his daughter was missing. After several days' search the girl was discovered in the depths of the forest without covering of any de scription. She had been abandoned by her lover, who had robbed her of everything. Some of her faithful ser vants succeeded in tracing Vojtlla and bent him to death with clubs. The heroine of the romance is now lying in a hopeless condition. Her death is expected, as she is suffering from Inflammation of the lungs as a result of her hardships in the forest MOINTED POLICE ARE SEARCHING FOR BANDIT CUT RATE S HOE SALE BOSTON STORE N.
