If you desire to own your own home
in the choicest residence part ot tbe
city, and get it tit your own price, we
are the people to Bee. For example,
we have a two-story bouse with seven
rooms and hall; good barn, 14x18;
ir, 12x14. The property has been
kept in good repair, and is nearly as
good an new. It would be a bargain at
11500, but we will sell it within the next
thirty days for $1000. Inquire of Hud

distance down the stream, and was
found by Professor W. F. Martin, who
happened to be passing.

Gov. Roosevelt laughingly tells a neat
little story apropos bis w ish to make his
! campaign on his civil and not his mili
j tarv record. While he was on his recent
western tour an e'deilv and very near-
sighted farmer came up to him, stretched
i out his hand and exciai.ned: "Have I
the honor of addressing the hero of Sann
Jew-Ann?" "No, sir," replied Mr.
Roosevelt, "vnu are addressing the gov
! ernor of New York." "Oh, excuse me,"
said the fanner, backing away, "I've
made a mistake. I thought I was speak
in' to Teddy, Kin you te!! me where I
kin lad Teddy RooseveU?"
The new stock corrals in the East
End are now ready for business and are
models of convenience. There are some
thirteen in all, ten of which have capa-
j city for feeding fifty head of catile each.
; Each corral is provided with feeding
I racks nnd n large watering trough. A
i large barn stands in tbO middle of the
corrals, anil at convenient distance from
each of them, that is tilled with hay and
i all Kinds ol teed. 1 ne stock scales are
I conveniently placed and have a weigh
ing capacity of 01,000 pounds. I he
yards have been placed in charge of
George Brown, who has had long ex
perience iu that kind of work.
Jim Kilpatruk, of Mcl.iin, in Harvey
county, is a fighting, frothing democrat.
The other day he was out fishing with
some of the boys and managed to upset
his boat in deep water. He could not
swim, but held to the boat and snouted
to his companions on the bank for as
distance. Seeing tiiat he was in no
particular danger, the boys told him
they wouldn't help him until be gave
three cheers for McKinley. "Hurrah
for McKinley," said Jim in a weak and
perishing voice. "Louder!" declared
the crowd. And then Jim bellowed,
"Hurrah for McKinley!" until he could
have been heard a mile away, where
upon one of the boyB tossed him a rope
with the remark that "This isn't the
first time McKinley has helped a d n
fool out of u hole." Kansas City v.Mo.

The boy Willie Sturgis-1, who had neen
placed at a farm bouse in the Willamette
valley bv Mr. Gardner, of the Boys' and
Girls' Aid Society, and who ran away
because of the bad trealmi pi ho claimed
to have received, and was arretted here
about a month ago by Sheriff Kelly ami,
after two or t hree days confinement, was
placed by Judge Blakeley in ihe home
of Jim Abbott, of Wapinilia, is giving
good satisfaction to bis new guardian.
Mr. Abbott) who is in the city, says he
could not desire a better boy. He is
diligent and obedient and liaH proved
thoroughly honest and faithful. Mr.
Abbott has at various limes en trotted
the lad with money and check'' to carry
to his employes and the boy has never
failed to justify the confidence Mr.
Abbott placed in him. The boy's record
while with Mr. Abbot' justifies also the
good opinion that was formed of him by
the Wnsco county officials during the
shorUlime he was in their charge.
Baker county is claimed, and we hope
justly, to ho one of the richest mineral
districts in the United States. It has
several mines that are claimed to be
worlh a million each. One of them, if
our memory it not Ht fault, recently
changed hands at the reputed price id
something like a million. Baker City is
i a rich and prosperous city of some 80(10
souls. One of its banks bad lately over
a million dollars on deposit. Yet all the
taxable property the assessor could find
this year iu the county amounts lo only
! $2,MJll,035, while the amount be returns
under the head of "cash" is only $27,
! 710. Tint Ciikonici.k has no idea ot
blaming the assessor for this palpably
fraudulent exhibit. Multnomah countv
let the pace for the other counties last
year, and two years ago succeeded in
having the slate board of rqu iliaUion
abolished, tor no othe reason than that
it was a check on such practices. Mat
ters will grow worse rather than better
so long at the atete tax is under the
control of the counties, or the state it
without a board of tq UnM having
ample power to equalize.

trying to collect, from the citizens of

nativity. Ibis is, substantially, UN
