The Arlington Record says: "Xovr
that the legislature is in session let u
make a long pull, a strong pull aud a
poll altogether for an appropriation for
a jKirtage railway between The Ialles

that all the countle east of The Ialles,
should get out petitions and circulate
them at once among the people and
have every man sigu them if they wunt
the portage appropriatiou passed, or
they may wake up and find that the re
monstrance ha got in its little work ad
vantageously. The Condon (jlobe corresoridciit at

ing the mortgage tax law repealed, the
indebtedness and exemption clauses ex

Henry Yillard says he will not be a

Senator Steiwer' bill for the protec
tion of stock raisers provides that the
branded hide must be shown with
slaughtered animal offered for rale to
butcher, and the butcher must keep a
record of the brauds, sot only of such
purchases, but also of the animals by
him slaughtered. There are penalties
of imprisonment provided for trading
uubranded cattle, killing animals of un
known ownership, and mutilating arti
ficial brands. The senator also ha a
bill prescribing a svitem of recording
brands with county clerks.
The hand of the U. P. R. Co., appear
in the movement for the proposed
county of Hood River. Last week the
Glacier gave the snap dead away. In a
local item the visit of Zera Snow, U. P.
R. attorney, ami Mr. McCoy of Omaha,
ia noted; and In another column the
paper speaks of a capitalist "there yes
terday" anxious to put up $i'),000 fur
real estate, "providing rliat the county
was divided." There is the least reason
in the project for Hood River county of
any yet proposed. The people there are
within an hour of the county seat by
railway at any time, andean leave home
after the mid-day meal, returning homo
for their tea, at the mere cost of travel.
They propose to take out of the county
with them i,."W0,000 worth of railway
property, leaving to take its place an
additional 5-u."! tax on all property.
Then there Is no Justice in the boundary

HOW MILLION BSOAfB TAXATION.

Krom the llllltan Iiiarpvndsnt.)
- In one of the comic recently receive,!
appear a pictured scene within a news
paper den where theeditor I surrounded
by great pile of exchange anil his table
tittered with the appliances of his call
ing, w hile he himself is half buried In
the ample tmgcsof a great daily. Before
him stands a well-dressed stranger who
has just entered the sanct;nn and ask
"What is your circulation?" Theeditor
looks up with an uncertain air to reply,
'Are you an advertiser or the tax as
sessor?' . This picture has a point when
the annual report of l'ortland business,
a appear in the Oregonlan of January
2nd, is read in connection with the re
port of County Assessor Sear made a
few week earlier.
The Oregonian i advertiser on Janu
ary 2nd, when it give the increase for
1S)2 of bunk resources at o.OOO.OOO.
Tho value of new buildings for the year
I put at $7,o,000. Thus in two mat
ters the increase of property in the city
of Portland is over 12,000.000. The
assessor could find an increase oyer the
valuation of 1S9I of 744.K25 only.
Verily the stranger in the picture is an
advertiser. Again, in further compari
son, two industries are noted. Banking
resources are placed at f JO,lX)0,0OO. The
amount invested in manufacturing en
terprises is reported to be ;!0,0(K),()(jO,
together 60,0tX0lH). Notice the prop
erty loft out in this compilation.
All real estate except that occupied
by banking and manul'ae ting institu
tion, all residence properly, the great
brick blocks, the iinineii.-c merchandise
stocks, the notes and book account held
by the merchants and business men,
the railroad, telegraph and telephone
lines centering there, yet the assessor
could lind in the whole county only
42,r)dJ.10. One fortune alone within
the past few days, that of W. S. Ludd,
has been counted at (18,000,000. It is a
low estimate to name lo0,000,000 as the
wealth of the city of Portland, while the
remainder of the county will swell this
valuation to 200,000,o6o, yet the as
sessor could find only $03,834,474 gross.
Thus more than one hundred millions
escape taxation. The chamber of com
merce is raising a great dust about de
duction of indebtedness amounting to
20.7SS,0o, the utmost limit, and the
mortgage tax law. It is that old cry of
stop thief. Portland, advertiser, is a
great wealthy cily, prosperous beyond
ita neighbors'. Portland, assessed, is a
cluster of hovels in rags, dirt and filth.
It few who have money for hire are
men of no business capacity anil loan
their little surplus on second mortgages
and on insufficient securities that are
worth, according to Iownsdale, repre
sentative burgher, but fifty cents on the
dollar. The picture of the editor and
the caller is real.
The .Tut Factory.
Representative Keady ha introduced
a bill providing for the erection of a
jute factory at a cost of $180,000 for the
employment of convict labor. It is to
have a 100-looiu plant, of the same capa
city as the one at San Quentin. The
governor, secretary of stute and state
treasurer are constituted a board of
directors. The chief product ia to be
grain sacks and other jute fabrics; also
brick. The products are to be sold di
rect to consumer in such quantities as
the board of prison director may direct.
This is cue of The Chuomci.r bills, and
while we feel that it is to lie one of the
best measure to come before the assem
bly, we shall be satisfied with fifty
loom to start with, and a proer de
crease of the appropriation as set forth
in Mr. Keacly's bill. The plan as pro
posed by Tiik Ciuiomci.b is heartily
endorsed by the farming community.
We may say almost unanimously ; and
we would prefer moderation in the de
mands upon the treasury to a loss of the
measure in its entirety.
Souio people imagine that it will re
quire the help of all the convicts in Sa
lem to run the juto sack factory. This
is disputed by the Capital Journal,
which announces that "ther are con
vict enough to run a jute mill ami a
stove factory too."
According to tho great daily in the big
city the "sorub-pres" of Oregon should
have nothing to say about tho jute-mili
project. When that great oracle of
monopoly speaks, however, tiien the
world must smile an audible acceptance
to It wise sayings; such, for instance,
as this: "If the state would erect a
large stockade ami put inside of it sev
eral hundred tons of gravel, ami thou
employ the convicts every working day
in the year in wheeling this gravel first
to one side of the enclosure and then the
other, the penitentiary problem would
lie solved with less cost to the state than
if an attempt w ere mado to erect and op
erate juto bagmills." If that paragraph,
silly aa it is, doe not prove the Orego
nian to stand in with the convict labor
contract monopoly, what else doe it
show? Aw were staggered to read such
a remark med bi won aohia 'o is. Sooa
seein' as 'ow 'e is so hawful smart,
mebbe he'll hapfien bring in a bill to
remedy th' state o' things; nubluit these
1 cha wod sooner gas abeawt wod
they ro lieawn to do nor ged M done,
which is tii custom o thad profession

Senator Raley'a bill to appropriate
$400,000 for a iiortago railway between
The Dalle and Celilo I lubstautiully
the same measure a the one he intro
duced two year ago, which passed the
senate and wa defeated In the house by
a narrow margin. It provide for the
money to be exiended by the governor,
secretary of state and state treasurer, a
in the case of the portage road at the
cascade of the Columbia, and this year
has the per cent a go of favor over 1S!K),
in the showing of benefit accruing to
the people, of the Inland Empire from
the construction of the cascade portage
railway. It is safe to say that if justice
i meted to thi division of the state, the
Raley bill will become a law. We shall
follow the subject with statistics.
If any evidence were lacking to con
vince' Mr. Blanchard and other of the
house committee ou commerce in con
gress, that the people of the Inland Em
pire do not propose to be any longer
politically hoodooed respecting the dalle
portage railway ami on open Columbia
river, let him or them observe tho action
ot Oregon assemblymen on this subject
for the next thirty-five days.
let's reason together. Here' a firm,
oue of the largest tho country over, the
world over; it has grown, step by step,
through the years to greatness, and it
sells patent medicines ! ugh 1 "That's
enough!" Wuit a little. This firm
pays the newspapers good money (ex
pensive work, this advertising!) to tell
the people that they have faith in w hat
they sell, no much faith that,if they can't
benefit yr cure they don't want your
money. Their guarantee is not indefi
nite and relative, but definite and ahsn
lute if the medicine doesn't help your,
money is "oil call." Suppose every sick
man and every feeble woman tried these
medicines and found them worthies?,
who would 1 the loser, yon or they?
The medicines are Pr. Pierce's "Golden
Medical Discovery," for blood diseases,
and his "Favorite Prescription," for
woman's peculiar ills. If they help to
ward health, they cost $1.00 a bottle
each ! If they don't, they coat nothing!

The Ouirltent Way to turn a fold.
Do you wish to know the quickest way
tocureaeold? We will tell you. To
cure a cold quickly, it must bo treated
before the cold has become acttled in the
system. Tho first symptoms of a cold
is a dry, loud cough und sneezing. Tho
cough is soon followed by watery ex
pectoration ami the sneezing by a pro
fuso watery discharge from the nose. In
severe cases there Is a thin white coating
on the tongue. What to do? It is only
necessary to take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in double does every hour.
That will greatly lessen the severity of
the cold and in many cases will effectu
ally counteract it, ami cure what would
have been a severe cold within one or
two days time. Try it and be convinced

The Sunday wood train out of Port

by a fallen tree acrosa the track yester
day, and sixteen men were badly In
jured. The train ran ofT a trestle on
both sides, after striking the tree. Ho
great wa the impetus with which th
locomotive struck that it smashed some
of the tie together over on one aide,
the seven flat car attached following,
and the caboose on the other side, mak
ing a complete revolution, and landing
right tide up with such force)
that it was burst completely to piece.
The passenger were thrown from on
side to the other of the car a It rolled
over, crashing against each side in turn
and landing in a heap on the bottom.
The locomotive was badly smashed and
went about half-way out of sight in tho
mud. The brake having been applied
at the rear of the train, the seventeen
flat car behind the caboose remained
on tho track.
