The clan is to lav two iiii parsuei wiin esch other, leav ing them far enouch snart to admit a third one if desired in future, following as nearly as Dossible tha oonru nf -nigger" creek, which would furnish an easy grade. This is done with the object in view of latrr on building the wagon roaa along tbe same mule, wnion wouui shorten th. diiiancs to ltoulton about one half mile, and over a more smooth roadbed. Th. scheme also suggests another feature which haa been ducussed more or less of late. It is the desire of a sreat manv and would, perhaps, result In a benefit v) an. to consolidate the Houlton and Hi. Helens school district stain and erect a new school bouse about mid way between tb two places for the accommodation of both. The school building to be so srraneed aa to re quire tbe separation of the different Sradea, which, by employing nothing ut first class teachers would be pro ductive of good results. We hope the people will take the matter in hsnd lib the determination to uusb it to completion. A Birth on thi Dixon.-On Friday last anion the iiantenuers aboard the steamer Barah Diion was a woman. who, after procuring a' ticket for Rain ier, complained of feeling ill, and asked the siewsrd to furnish her a room. Tbe request was complird with, and a little later she called the steward sgsin and wanU-d te borrow some trifle. This accommodation was also eitended, and few minute later tbe feeble cries of en infant wsre heard in tbe room. Th. event caused no little eicitement on the steamer, and there being no f hysician aboard, Steward Murray and Purser Nonlby vied with each other iu their atten tion, to the brand-new passenger. The little stranger is a girl, and whether she will be named Barah Dixon or be named after the attentive officers still remains an open question. Assessors' Convention. Tbe annual convention of th. as sessor, of Oregon wss held in Bslem this week, and before adjourning the following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That it be ib sense of this meeting tbat the assessor's office should be put on a salary, and tbat the assessor's salary should be put on an equality with tbe other county of ficiate in accordance with tbe amount ot work done, nd thst census work b paid eitra; iv is further Resolved, That each assessor in the state be tuniehed with a copy of thi resolution and lb proceedings of this convention, and that each assessor should send to the chairman of the legislstivs committee an estimate of the amount of salary be should receive for assessing and for census work. And we recommend that each as sessor confer with bis county court ss to Ihe advisability of a salary aystem. It is also recommended by thi. con ventiori that tho making of the tax roll and all duplicate should be made by assessor. Further, that assessors he given a sal in connection with their offices. Taxes Dm the Stat. Judc Nortuup.of Portland, recently sent the following letter to th. sut. treasurer In order to learn the amount of back taxes owed the state by Mult nomah county: Will you oblige me by .ending an official atatemsDt of the account be tween Multnomah county by your of fice, th. amounts by yean, ana in ev- oral funds for each year. There is pne question upon which I would like to have your views, and if possible, the viewe of the state's attor nnht ia. whether or not the law a. amended, the state is not com pulled to there pro rata In any oeiinqueno -rising from the failure to collect thf full amount of tax i that ia to say, sup doss lb. delinquency in the collect ion of tbe taxe. for .he vear 1893 ItrNat nomah county wa. $100,000. Would or would not the state have to bar lis proportionate loaa oi tit) awe th. said delinquency!" Mr. Metschan replied with the fol lowing statement : In th. matter referred to of the stal. bearing its proportion of the de linquent taxes, which may not have been collected by the several conn ties, permit me to refer you to the decision of the supreme court, wherein it was held that the state is not liable for its proportion of delinquent or uncol lected taxes.

Fred Aldrldge, a boy ot 14, living on the Edgerton place, near tbe new mill, was unfortunate enough last Saturday to have his tec broken below the k nee by being struck by a limb.

It seems a little strange that one bears no talk of Merrill's hsll being unsafe sine, it is used so regularly tor social dances. Wb.n preaching ser vices were held there it was frequently remarked thst the hall waa n l safe. and made a most convenient excuse for slaying away. Come to think of it, would an orderly preaching service or a lively dance test the strength of a building the most Perhaps the hall has grown stronger with age, like butler, for instance. The Qod Templars lodee has been adding considerably to iu membership lately, and last Thursday evening, while enjoying a little social diversion. during intermission, tbe sedate lodge deputy, C. W. Jones, with a bandage over bis eyes, playing blind man's buff, to remind him of the days of hi youth, sot'identally came in contact with a lamp which he had knocked off a table and broken, and upon remov ing the bandage from his eyes, found himself surrounded by florae. Quito consternation prevailed for a few minutes, but the coolness of a few persons prevailed and the Ah roes were extingiiiiihrd without very -riu dam age. One young man got hi hand out, but we heard of i o other casual- tie to any one except alight aiuge- ing of the venerable deputy. Har4 Fact Plainly luted. Speaking of tbe time to stop adver tising, a contemporary say that it dinuld be discontinued when the pop ulation ce to multiply, and the generations that crowd on after you and have never heard cf you stop com ing on ; when you have convinced every one whose life will mingle with vours, that you have better good at lower prices than be or she cn get anywhere else; when you perceive it to be the rule thst men who never sd vertise are outstripping those in the nam. lin. of business who do; when men slop making fortunes right in your sight solely through the discreet use of this mighty agent; when you forget the word of the shrewdest ar.d most successful busmen men concern ing tb. main cause of their prosperity ; when every man becomes a creature of habit so thoroughly tbat he will buy this year where he bought last year; when younger and fresher houses in your line cesse starting up and asing the newspapers in telling tbe people bow much better they can do for them than you cau; when you would rather have your own way, and fail than take the advice, and win; when nobody else think it paya to ad vertise. Oatlook for Free Coinage. The silver men Assert tbat a free coinage bill will be urged in ihe pres ent session of congress, and believe hat the house will pass It. Should this be tbe case, opponent of tree sil ver, would, of course, look to the sen ile to defeat it. Tbat body, with its rules admitting of uulimitrd debate. would seem to be in a position to ac complish this result. The fart is, bow ever, pointed out tbat the senate ha twice during the fifty-first congress and once during the fifty second con gress put itself on record in favor of a free coinage bill, although it wa im possible to bring tb. measure, to a vote in the house at thoee times Of ibe present senate fifty three senators were members when the firt vote was taken on the 17 th of June, 1890, on a free coinage proportion, pure and simple. All either voted or were psired exoept Senators Carey, Slump, and Wilson of Iowv The vote wss forty two for free cifniige to twenty five sgainst it. Tbe republicans who voted for the proposi tion were Cameron, Jones, of Nevada, Manderson. Mitchellof Oregon, Powor, Squire, StewsrtTeller, and Woleott. Petiigrew was paired in favor of free coinage. The democrat who voted against free coinage were uray ana Mt'Pherson. The measure never csme to a vole in the house and consequently died in the hands of the house coinage com mittee. Baraga and Klein Sentenced. Th Dalles. Or.. Dec. 10. OtisSav- age was today sentenced to four years in the penitentiary, while his confed erate, Frank Klein, who turned state's evidence, received eighteen months. This completes the story of the Pacific Express robbery. At the opening of court this morn ing Judge Bradfhaw overruled the motion for a new trial, and told Savage to stand up. When sukej if he had anylhing to say he replied : "I don't know what I can Bay, It ia a well laid plan to cinch me. I'll stand and take my medicine though." Klein had nothing to say. Judge Bradshsw made some remarks relative to the lives these young men had lived, and spoke word, of warning to those who would imitate tbeir exam ple. Klein seeme entirely repentant, but Savage shows no feeling. Tho at torneys for the defense moved for a stay of judgmeut till the ess. could be beard in the supreme court. . - PERSONAL. AND GENBHAIi.
