On searching tbe barn a wagon-load of goods wat found, much of whiob wat reoognited at having been taken from tbe DiUey store. The horse of Wil liam Lousignout wat also in the barn.

WHO Is) MOST BENEFITED? FitHHAWK, Or., March 21, 1896. Eorroas Mist: Seeing an article In your issue of the I6tb Inst., pertaining to high taxation, calls to mind the eld Joke, '-Be It ever to little, there Is some consolation." The actual settlers are the class wboihould, if any, protest afeinst high taxaUon; upon tton; upon them the land speculator de - psnds for the enhsoeemsat of valuation on their uooocupled lands, and If Justice was nested out In an equitable meaner eeca actual settler would be exempt from taxa tion on at least 160 acres of land, for at least ten or twenty rears fro at time ot securing title by homestead, end tbe tame should have been embodied la the homestead law. Tbe pioneers of all times and all countries are the overworked, overtaxed ana long- suffering cltssee of mankind, It la not the non-resident ownership of land In Inland that has created high taxa tion ; eausss to be enacted and enforced the eviction laws of that pitiable, poverty stricken people I I believe that all law- abiding dtlsene will bear me out In the as sertion that "non-resident land speculation Is a serious drawback to any country, nsw or old, where It is tolerated." Now 1st us Investigate this mature uttie. For Instance, we will say A and B each se cured 100 acres of lend in Columbia county twenty years ago, the land at that time be- i a , a ullU. .Iam,,, tltwlft his land and nrooesds to improve it, ana inriUluokle Broe. are erecting a few years bs has doubled or even quad- rapled the value of his claim and in the meantime be has paid a yearly poll lax, a road tax. and as bis Improvements were Inereassd bit property ttxes Inoreased in proportion, wbils B's land has been laying Idle all this time and tbe taxes derived from It are merely nominal. The question Is, which of these two Individuals bars borne the burdsa of taxation, and wbloh ot them has the best right, U either, to kick about bearing their part In the support of a gov- rament that makes and tolerates laws that afford an opportunity for monled men to row richer and richer by system ei isnu speculation which, ere long, will become a landed aristocracy, such as thsy have In Ireland and other parts of Europe. I shall insist, without fear of serious con. troversy er snecessrul contradiction, tnai tbe non-resident land-bolder expects .to hanaRtatthe exnense ot the actual settler. Is it not quits probable that it Mr. Moore's land that ha so laments tbe owner- ahlo of. was yet vsoaet.that Columbia county's population would Increase by at least two aotual settlers, to help us in ths way of publlo roads, schools, etc, and ths likelihood of, at some Urns In ths near fu ture, of the 810 acres which Is now valued at less than 11000. being valued st 16000 Instead. It Is plain enough to see In which ease the community, the county and the stste at large, would receive the most benefit. Now, fellow pioneers of this much abused and once wilderness county, let us unite, one and all, and heave our old tattered hats high in the air and give three lusty cheers for the oounty board of our county and step promptly forwsrd and pay our taxes ilk loval American oitlsens should do and we will realise a grain of consolation, as the (allow did when be was told what the mw dlaman alluded to in the outset, was doing to ths other fellow.

Until Mr. Hammond arrives no definite informa tion concerning ths future plans of those Interested in constructing tbe road will bs obtainable.
