Generally anything that reduces taxes is worthy of praise, but in this instance commendation is tempered by the fact that to accomplish such a reduction it was necessary to draw on funds set aside to meet another obligation, that of special indebtedness bonds maturing in specific units from year to year. Taxpayers who consider the present rather than the future will doubtless welcome a decrease of over ten per cent in the 1029 levy for county and state taxes, but in the long run they would not be gainers if it developed that too great a transfer had been made from the sinking fund for the liquidation of outstanding bonds. The presence of the money originally in the sinking fund i.i sufficient evidence that the county court believed the money belonged there, bu neglect to itemize such a transaction in the official budget wits fatal non-compliance with the Ian that gave the taxpayers' league an opportunity to have the money shifted to the general fund. Perhaps, as it is hoped, no financial upset will eventuate. If the sinking fund can stand the transfer of $(10,000 and, with remaining funds, meet bonds at maturity, well and good, and thanks will be due the taxpayers' league fcr effecting a permanent saving to those who foot the county's bills. The transfer, however, should not be regarded as sole warrant for repetition in the future, for what may be beneficial and business-like now rrmy be detrimental and folly later. Business caution de mands that as little us possible be withheld from the sink ing fund as long as the county is under a heavy bonded debt. AS THE WORLD WAGS : py r r rr .

THE OSPREY The OKprey hus made a great re putation as a fish hawk, not so much because he lives on fish, which lie takes for himself, but because be mostly feeds the great buld eagle. There is such a thing as being fortunate in the people who rob us, when it comes to fame. The osprey la a large, well-setup birds. He is two feet long, though his wife Is a little longer. They dress ullke, upper parts duiky brown, the feathers edged with white as the bird grows old; head and nape of neck varied I wiih white, and a dark Rtrlpe in i side of h'tful; underpays while; the breast spotted with grayish brown, most distinctly in rase of the female; the bill Is blackish v ith long hrok. He Is a universal bird in the Cnited States along the coasu of all oceans and gulf an1 , great lakes. He is not a hawk. I Imt a distinct creation. He lives In a family all his own. He is a great angler. He swings and sways ovty the water, with per- haps the keenest eye ever bestow ed on a bird, and when he sees a fish near or at the surace, he drops like a Hash and his huge tshx-.H j lock in his prey. Sometimes the j fish Is too largo for him to fly with and then ihty both drown for ho does not seem to be able to ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW POEM FOR THE DAY Uj LOU13 ALBERT BANKS THE ENGLISH THINKING RACE Lady Astor has coined a new phrase.' likely to become popular nt Anylo-AmeriOin lovefe.i.t.

Often he is forced by a watchful eagle to drop his fish. The eagle Belies It and carries it olf before It strikes the water, sometimes he has to catch several fish before he is allowed to keep one for himself. Hut sometimes several ospruys Units and whip an eagle out. Klnh ermen do not war on him, as the kind of Hah the on prey takes Is not usually what they care for.

A FISHERMAN'S LUCK The nsiirpy proudly rwle the sky eye. He Jlil not look shroud for sails l!ut scumird bmwath lor fishes' tails. An eiulr swayiiiK up strove Mas watching noi wiih eyes of love; His dwpfst Interest In Ihe came Should surely have been niticd with shame. . The omrey made a sudden patiup, Prepared, at once, to catch tli raune. And down he swept, like IlKhtninjr flavh; He slruek ihe ware with sudden 5TORY BY At last the washing all was done, and Kcouty said, "Well, I, for one. am very much obliged to all you little dwarfs. You're kind! Our clothes are banging on the line, and soon they'll sure be look Ing fine. I think I'll bop into mine now, if no one seems to mind." "Me, too." cried Clowny. "Mine are dry. And, after this we ought to try to take care of our clothing. No more riding on the chutes." And so the Tlnymites got dressed and every little dwarf confessed that they all looked real neat, way from their hata down to their boots. A fairy who looked very sweet exclaimed, "I've brought you food to eat. I guess you all are hungry. Here are sandwiches galore. Now. take your time and help your selves. There's more food hidden on my shelves and if the sandwich es run short, I'll run and get some more." , The dwarfs and Tinles ate the meal. Then Clowny said, "How fagged 1 reel. I'll simply have to take a nap." He flopped down, too. Said Carpy, "This Is wise to do. If we Just sleep a while we'll feel as fine as fine can be.' Whenvthey awoke, to their sur prise their engine stood before their eyes. "Why, there's out good old choo-choo." shouted Clowny, in delight. "I'm tired of staying litre." he slehed. "Let's hop aboard and take a ride." "Go right ahead," a dwarf exclaimed. "You'll soon be out of sight." This time the engine had big wingd, and my, but they were fun ny things. They flapped so loud at first, it gave the Tinymites a scare. And then a dwarf said, "Me, oh my, those wings are going to make It fly." And, as the Tinles Silath; He bowed his back to bear the strain Tlir.t brought the fish right out the main; Exulting, screamed and flew aloft Could taste right then the flesh so soft. But fate swung waiting overhead As quick as light an eagle sped; Right diwn be came, like stroke of doom The osprey could but give him room. And quickly dropping fish he flees; The eagle picks it up with ease. The comedy Is quickly run Poor osprey cannot see the fun. But right away, though feeling sore, Accepta his Tate and seeks for more. He Is a wise and canny bird To fight 'gainst fate would be absurd; And though, within, ho feels his ire. He will not leap into the fire. Aud so there waits an armored truce To mako complaint would be no use. W. M. KELLER DIES AT SUTHERLIN SAT.
