object in view of latrr on building the

wnion wouui shorten th. diiiancs to

a more smooth roadbed. Th. scheme
also suggests another feature which

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.

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

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. Th. attorney-general is
ab-ent. but I am cognisantof bis hold

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.

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
