IMMIGRANTS HOWL
The Rainier Review, a paper wliicb
lias Been in existence ten mouibi,
owned by a mau who live in KaUmt,
Wub., and edited by recent unnor
talion from that slate, neither of wlmm
nave ever paid cent of taxei in tliii
county, has a great deal to say about
. the management of public affairs i
Columbia county, in general, and Th
Hh In paatioular, with special refer
noe to the $173 paid this paper for
publiihing the delinquent tax list, for
which, in reality, the county does uot
. pay, since the amount is added to the
mount oi taxea assessed to each de
linquenl, most, of whom, like Mr
Imut, of the Bewiew, are non-reei
denU, except, unlike Mr, Imua, of the
Review, they have been paying taxea
in the county lor Years. The charge
made by Th Mist waa lets than the
rate established by the courts of Ore'
ton for the same work, and are paid
la every other county of the state, and
are considered reasonable. But while
Mr. Imus and his associate new-comer
are so interested (f) in the welfare of
the dear people, let us look for a mo
ment at some of the charges made by
. tots same Mr. I inns for publishing
delinquent tax list in Cowlits county
Wash., three or four years ago in the
Jkaiaina Bulletin, wuion paper he is
again editing. At that time Mr. Imus
realised several thousand dollars out
of publishing the delinquent tax list
Which did not represent as much cash
as the one recently published by this
paper. But Imus is "onto his iob.'
lie runs a republican papei in Kalams
and a populist paper in Kainier, and
like many immigrants, his freshness
is only exoeeded by his cheek. Has
the Review ever done anything to en
title it to patronage outside of the
narrow limits of Rainier, aud outside
of wbiuh it it hardly known? When
the public has work to be done it is
the duty of its servants to give it to
some one who is competent to do it to
a manner within the meaning of the
law, under which head the Review
does not come. Tbe editors of The
Mist do not claim to hare had thirty
. live years experience in newspaper
work, but they do claim to know some
thing of the business, aud in tbe al
most thirteen years Thc Mist has
been published in this county, it has
not taken up the hobbies of the nar
row confines of any particular hamlet,
but has worked for tbe interests of tbe
entire county and proposes to continue
in tbst line. It has had many things
with which to contend, which we be
lieve has been overcome to the satis
faction of the people. In every in
stance where this psper has come in
contact with Portland prices for coun
ty work it has shown that it could and
did do the work at a great saving to
the county but with little profit to it
self. It is one thing to bid on a job
and quite another thing to be able to
do it. The Mibt is no new comer. It
has been here for years, has labored
bard for the interests of all and has
paid its taxes (this year amounting to
$34) promptly without any cost to the
county, and expects to stay here and
continue to labor tor and in conjunc
tion with those who believe Colombia
county still has a promising future,
all immigrants to the contrary, not
withstanding.
handsomely on their county orders.
Sheriff Doan is authority for the state
ment that tho delinquent tax roll for
tow, as returned by him to the
county sfter the sale for taxes,
contaiued a less amount of money
than had any delinquent tax roll for a
number of years back. One other in
stance may be mentioned here which
is significant is the fact of the
county proceeding iu a legal manner
to force people whom the sheriff coi.M
not manage to pay tliir tax.a oirenm
stance which is bringing hundreds of
dollurs into the treasury that other
wise would be on the delinquent roll.
truthfully be said that Mr. Sclioon-
over was the prime kicker because!
tbe orders were explicitly written. It
is said that consistency art jewel,
but it did't mean such jewels as the
euitor oi me sentinel.
POPULIST ECONOMY, INDEED.
Our populist con tern poraries at Rs i u
ier.Clatakanie and Pittsburg are always
talking about economy in public af
fairs and how cheaply tbe work can
be dore if populists sre elected to the
vsrious offices of the county, etc To
prove the utter redictilousnees of such
assertions we need only to refer buck
to the administration of Massie, Kvaer,
and even (o our Pupa Schoonover.
The three are the only and all the
populists that ever held office in this
oounty. Compare, if you please, the
economy practiced by them with those
of their predecessors. Massie, poor
man, is gone, and Kyser is out of of
fice, but, alas, one barnacle of popu
lism remains in the person of Mr.
Schoonover. Compare the cheapness
of his services with those of his prede
cessor, Mr. Spencer, from tbe same
place, or Mr. Frakes. Scboonovcr's
present colleague. The last year Israel
Spencer was commissioner he received
for his service the sum of $154.40.
The first year Mr. Schoonover was
commissioner he received $284.30; the
second year, $269.10 ; and last year,
1255.08. It must be remembered that
Mr. Schoonover came from the same
locality as did hi predecessor, Mr.
Spenoer, and therefore had to travel
the same number of miles, yet each
year his bills were over $100 iu excess
of those of Mr. Spencer. It hss been
said that a comparison of the bills of
Frakes and Schoonover wsa unfair be
cause the latter had further to travel.
But how about the comparison be-
ween Mr. Soboonover and his prede-
decessor, Mr, Spencer, coming from
tbe same place? Compare these fig
ures, which are a matter of record, and
then shew wherein lies tbe populist
economy so much talked about.
The Review of last week looked
green, and upon perusal of its con
tent it was found to bo greener than
it looked. That mushroom has under
taken to biilldoxe the oounty officers
ana especially the sheriff, but if we
mistake nut Sheriff Doan as well as
the other county officers, will go right
along attending to their oftloiul duties
in i lie future as in ihe past, to the en-
lire satisfaction of the pnlille. They
are not the ttliiss of men to be bulldos- d.

POLITICAL IWTEBS.
The goose bone prophet says we are
to have a bard winter. So far as the
democrats are ooncerned.this is simply
a repetition of what the recent election
returns told them.
Now that Sherman has renounced
all ambition for the presidency, the
democratic papers are telling what a
great man he is and how ungrateful
nis party naa been In not giving him
tne ouice.
- The general democratic feeling with
regard to the third term is that it
would only be serving Cleveland right
to give him tbe nomination when there
isn't a ghost' of a chance for him to be
elected.

TBS TORRENS SYSTEM.
ASSESSMENT OF RAILROAD LANDS.
The Sentinel undertakes to blame
Judge Blanchard and Commissioner
Frakes for ths reduction made in the
assessment of railroad lands o which
the valuation was reduced from $3 per
aero, as fixed by tbe assessor, to 9 1.2S
as reduced by the county court. Mr.
Scboonover, from the beginning, was
in lavor oi mincing tbe assessment on
all wild land to 12 per acre. At that
time Mr. Frakes wanted to maintain
ths rate fixed by tbs assessor 13 per
acre ana consequently tbe court
could not agree. An adjourned term
was held, and in the meantime it was
learned that the railroad company had
no title to tbe land, and consequently
could not be made to pay the tax be
cause tbe title was in dispute, but the
company, pending tbe outcome of the
suit, and as an evidence of good faith
in claiming title to the land, offered
to pay tax on the same if the board
would reduce tbe assessment to 1.25
per acre, and if not ther would not
pay until they received title, which is
yet very much in doubt. It was a case
of the county receiving revenue from
this land on an assessment of $1.25 an
acre or nothing, since there being no
title they could not collect. They
very wisely, in our judgment, chose
tbs former course and thereby secured
to tbe county several thousand dollars
in taxes. But Mr. Sch.tonover would
not sgree to this unless the county
court would reduce the assessed valu
ation from $3 to $2 sn acre on a large
tract of land lying in bis immediate
neighborhood in upper Nehalem
which was done. -
It may be said in this connection
tbat for tbe same reasons given above
railroad lands m most counties of tbe
slate sre assessed far below what they
are here, the minimum being as low
as 39 cents an Sere in one county, and
less than 75 cents an acre in seversl
counties. Thk Mist believes tbat
very evidence of wealth should pay
tax, provided it can be collected, but
tt is impossibls to collect tsx on land
tbe title to which is still vested in the
government by reason of the litigstion
now pending. Again the prohibition-ist-democratio-republicao-populist
who
runs the sentinel has misrepresented
tns train.
It is certainly gratifying to the lax
payers of this county to know that our
oounty script is selling in tbe market
at a higher price than has been real
ised for several years. Columbia county
warrants hays been selling lately for
98 cents on a dollar, with fair prospects
of exchanging at par in the near fu
ture, where, during the Massie ad
ministration the holders did well to
realise 88 cents. A sheriff thst makes
an honest effort to collect tbe taxes,
such as have the two last incumbents
of that office, play no insignificant
part iu bringing about a state of affairs
whereby oar citizen! can realize more
Tbe Globe-Democrat has the follow
ing to say of tbe Torrens system of
land records:
"At ths recent election .Cook county,
Illinois, adopted the Torrens system of
registration of land titles, under an
act of tbe last state legislature author
ising counties to make such a change.
This system wss originated in Aus
tralia, where it has been in practical
operation for many years; and it has
also been adopted, with certain modi
fications caused by local conditions, in
England and Prussia. It is designed
to simplify conveyances of real estate,
to reduce litigstion over bind titles,
and to substitute security for inse
curity in the ownership of such prop
erty. Tbe Illinois law is a little more
complicated than tbat of Australia,
but practically like it in all essential
particulars. Provision is made for a
registrar who sball keep a record of all
land titles in tbe county, and make
transfers thereof on bis books, giving
certificates to the owners, which will
be as readily convertible as a regis
tered bond. The grantor is required
to execute a deed ss heretofore which
is not the case in Prussia, for instance,
where the buyer and seller may ap
pear before ths registrar and make the
change of ownership without any
writing between them, simply by word
of mouth but the deed counts only
as an incident; it is the record of the
registrar that accomplishes the trans
ference of title.
"Under this method, tbe books of
tbe registrar show at a glance in whom
tbe title to a given tract of land is
vested and to what incumbrances and
charges it is subject. Each certificate
issued to a purchaser becomes a new
title, and there is no need to look be
hind it for possible defects. At tbe
end of five years after the first certifi
cate is issued, the statute of limitation
shuts out all adverse claimants, and
tbe title is held to be perfect. Jo cases
of transmission by will or descent, the
title goes not directly to the heirs, but
to the executor or administrator, the
same as personalty ; and proof of heir
ship is made before the court, which
orders tbe title to be transferred ac
cordingly, on the surrender and can
cellation of the outstanding certificate.
The advantages of such a system are
manifest, and the only objection to be
urged against it is tbat of precedent,
or prejudice, in favor of tbe present
cumbersome, expensive and more or
less uncertain methods of conveyance.
It will take some time for the people
of Illinois to become accustomed to it
and willing to extend its operation
throughout the various counties; but
it is such a decided improvement in
every respect that there can be no
doubt about its ultimate acceptance
by tbe whole stale. Tbe same reasons
recommend it for adoption in other
states, at least so far as its general
features of simplicity and security are
concerned, and they should not delay
a change which is so clearly in the in
terest of the owners of sll kinds of teal
estate."
The ox tra cost of coal when stssm
is kept up on tbe British fleet in the
neignoornnou oi Constantinople is
135,000 a day. Turkey is an exoen-
sive luxury to all the powers, and will
be eliminated as a matter of economy.
Perhaps the most remarkable effect
of ths recent electiou is the opportun
ity Kentucky will now have to get ac
quainted witb herself. It is a state of
great resources, but the bourbons have
managea to conceal tne tact lor sev
eral generations.

"Thorn's Numerical System
Title Abstracts"
Thk political outlook in Oregon at
this writing is a gloomy one for the
democrats. The party vote in Ibis
state has been badly weakened by tbe
course of the administration in "retain
ing republicans in office" while the
men who worked and voted for the
party in tbe campaign are summarily
"turned down." The recent elections
in the Esst have given a solid appear
ance to the republican rank aud tile
which will take supreme eflorts in the
opposing parties to shske.
Ths Sentinel man is as full of in
consistency as a nut is full of meat.
Only a few weeks ago be ripped Clerk
weed up the back for usine what he
aaid were superfulous words in writing
the orders of tbe county court. In the
last issue of tbat paper its editor said
that if the proceedings were legally
writen all court orders would be shown.
Mr. Weed is acting only upon the order
of tbe court in this matter, and it can
M alicloaaly liled.
"We note that $71.55 remitted to
John Dibblee brolher-in law to Judge
Blanchard for tax in tbe year 1891,
and paid to Meeker; not only allows
Dibblee bis money back, but remits
his tax for tbe year. The county looses
f7 1.00 the tax paid to Meeker, and
171.55, the amount remitted to Dibb
lee. In all a total of 1143.10." Pitts
burg sentinel.
The above is smother one of the sen
tinel's falsehoods. There was no tax
remitted at all, as the following order
oi the court, of which the Sentinel
correspondent is a member, will show
".Petition of John Dibblee for cred
for tax paid to W. A. Meeker, and not
credited on tax roll, allowed."
It will be seen by tbe order of the
court tbat there was no money paid
uiooiee, and tnal be only received
credit on the tax roll of 1891 for money
which he had paid meeker and for
which be held no receipt. In justice
to Judge Blanchard and Commissioner
Frakes since) Schoonover seems to
have misrepresented the facts to his
paper or else tbe psper baa takes it
upon itself lo willfully lie we make
this ststement. As we have stated be
fore, we believe a newspaper has
right to criticise the acta of a public
official, but it baa not tbe right to mis
represent tbe facts, which the populist
sheet over tbe bill never misses an op
