He thdn requested of the sevrctnry tlie needed supplies in the way of stationery for the use of the board, and he was fiirnMicd with Ink, paper, pens, pencil-", Inkstand, etc. The quest ion out of which fund the expenditure for the supplies of the board should be cliarued to is si mat ter which for the time being caused Mime discussion. Secretin y Kincaid holds that the cxp.-i.dltures lor sta tionery, occasioned by the woik or the board, shall c me out of the funds ap pioprhited lor that purpose by the legislature, while heretofore t le s 1:11c has been paid out or the incidental funds. In order to settle the matter Attorney-General Idleman will le asked ror an opinion. Tlie secretary was Instructed to write to tlu assessors and county judges or the different counties and ascertain tlie basis or their assess ment or the different classes or prop erty, and the secretary and his assist ant were busily employed in carrying out this order last evening. During the afternoon a number of rolls, -sent in by the county clerks, were examined and it was round in many cases the totals werenot added at all, or, ir added, were incorrect. Thus one error was round in the Toot ing ol one roll amounting to $C00. Considerable correspondence has al ways piled up and the secretary will be kept busy day and night tor the lirstweek attending to the work and clearing the desks. SOME STATISTICS.

Thompson, brought down his axe or rerorm and cut the wages per diem or the three employes or the board. The clerks are to got $0 a day and the messenger $1.50 a day. Mr. Wlngatesaid ho had never paid a white man as low as $1.50 a day, but as he labored hard to elect one of the clerks ho did not appreciate Mr. Thompson's effort to cut their pay from $10 a day to $0. Ilcretororo tho clork has put in tlrao before tho board met and at $10 a day got In about llf ty days. This year tho clerks arc to put in no more days than the members of the board themselves, who arc limited to thirty days. Tlie board costs $90 a day ror thirty days for the members per diem alone and their mileage costs nearly as much more. But the mileage is the least unjust part of tho expense, except where tho members ride on passes and then charge tho state besides. No one doubts that men who have so largo a control over valuations for purposes of taxation can get all tho passes they want. If the work or the stato board were ex amined rrom the start It would bo found they lmvo released corporation property from taxation on a largo scale more than enough to pay for all their freo rides. Tho board, not tho gentlemen comprising it, audits its own accounts and is a kind of a little plutocratic senate, half of tliem being holdovers, and not really re Hnnnslblo to tho ueonlo. Tho huilo work Is done in nearly all other states by the three or live stato omcmis ana costs not one-half what It does here. Tho only valid objection to having tho work done by tho stato officials hero Is that they have already too i w LIBERATED, SAIways FIRST i I Gail Borden !

By order of of the school board the Canema, Or , school linsbeen closed on account or dlptlieria. Ilobert Brown, of Portland, who had tlie misfortune of having his eyes in jured with a gun will probably loose both h is eyes. S. T. Ilobart, of Silverton, has shipped 430 hogs to Portland during the last two months. He was paid $2.50 a hundred weight on foot. Washington and Oregon shipped to San Francisco, in September, 20,9S2,- 072 reet or lumber, in October, 20,902,- 800 reet and Tor 10 months, of 1890, a total of 220,104,1 16 reet. The Lewis and Clink river was frozen over so hard Sunday morning that tlie milkmen were obliged to break the ice before they could get their boats through into Young's bay. At the city election in Marshfield tlie following named men were elected: W. II. S. Hyde, has served as town recorder for 10 years was re elected, and W. F. Elrod was re elected marshal. Following were the successful candidates for trustees: Thomas Howard, A. W. Neal, John Snyder and O.E. Smith. Dig Blocks Broken. Last Thanksgiving day a large amount of rock from the Pioneer quarry left this city over the West- side en route to Gniy's harbor, Wash. Tlie rock was to be used in'the con struction of tlie light house which the government is erecting at that nlace. Now comes the remarkable feature, the rock on the road to Port land cracked, some of It a little, while quite a large amount of it went en tirely to nieces. There are various opinions as to the cause of this, but tlie most popular theory is that the rock was shipped from the quarry be fore it was thoroughly dried and the extreme cold or the time caused the trouble. This Is a misfortune, as a person unfamiliar with tho causes and conditions that cracked the stone might condemn it prematurely. Ex perts have orten tested it with heat, cold and pressure, and in all cases tho Pioneer stone, when brought Into corapctlon with other stones has come out cor the contest triumphant, in San Francisco Pioneer stono is being used in the construction or the largest and linest buildings in the city, and always with satisfactory results. It will probably develop that some un favorable condition surrounding tho quarrying and shipment of this lot, and not tho stone itself Is to blame for tho present case. The correct ex. planation will be awaited with inter est. Corvallis Gazette. Battle Ship Oregon. It Is learned that tho monster war ship Oregon will soon visit the Sound. It appears from tuo sea trials or ittio Oregon that sho rolls "something ter rible" In tho least kind of a sea.

UlU lUIIUUMUK vat of holing Before the finished fruit come bud and blossom. Bud grows into blossom and blossom into fruit. And so girlhood merges into woman hood and tlie woman into motherhood. The two most crit ical times in a wo man's life are the times which make the girl a woman, and the woman a mother. At these times, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion is of incalcula ble value. It turns danger Into safety and pain into ease. It is a medicine which has but one object. It is good for but one thing. It strengthens and Invigorates the organs distinctly feminine, it promotes regularity of the functions, allays irritation and inflammation, checks unnatural, exhausting drains, and puts the whole delicate organism into perfect condi tion. Almost all of the ills of womankind are traceable to some form of what is known as "female complaint." And this gener ally begins either at the time of puberty or childbirth, or at the "turn of life." There are not three cases in a hundred of woman's peculiar diseases that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will not cure. Thou sands of grateful women have been ren dered healthy and happy by its use, and the experience and testimony of many of them has been included in Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser. When Dr. Fierce published the firit edition of his work. The reople'a Common Sense Medical Adviser, he announced that after 680,000 copies had been aoldat the regular price, Ji.yj per copy, the profit on which would repay him for the great amount of labor and money expended in producing it, lie would give away the next half million free, lie is now distributing, absolutely frtt, 500,000 of this most complete, interesting and valuable common sense medical work ever published the recipient only being required to mall to the World's Dispensary Medical Associa tion, at Buffalo, N.
