Steeves for complicity in the mur- tier or ueorge w . ayres, in Porilaud two years ago, terminated at Hillsboro laat Monday by the jury bringing in a verdict of "not guilty," The trial had consumed altogether about 21 days, and wa given to the jury last Friday afteraoon. Saturday evening they came into court and reported that they tood ten for acquittal and two for conviction, and therefore could not agree.. The court, al ome length, in- atruoted them that they should, If pos sible, agiee upon a verdict, and (gain remanded them to tho custody of the bailiff. , All day Sunday, and until about noon Monday they were kept in confinement, when the two who had stood out for conviction gave In to the majority, Tha former trial of Steeves on thi charge took place in Multno inah county, whore lie wa oonvioted of manslaughter, and aentenoed to 16 year In the ponitonliary. The caie wa appealed to the' supreme court, which reversed the lower oourt, and ordered a new trial. A change of venue wa taken to Washington count) with t ho result a above dated. One remarkable feature of the trial w the length of time consumed by counsel in presenting argument to the Jury, Dial riot Attorneys Cloeton and Lord for the state and ex-J)isiriot Attorney James McCuiu for the defense, each consumed five hours In presenting their respective side of the case to the jury. It wa, perhaps, the longest trial ever had in the state. Sour Loho Inhthumbnt. Last Sat urday there was recoived at the clerk's office In this county an instrument containing five deeds from Alfred L. Carey, as special master, to the North ern Paoiilo Railway Company, also two mortgages, one, a prior lien mort gage, from the Northern Paciflo Rail way Company to the Mercantile Trust Company, and another from the same Railway Company to the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, a general lien mortgage. These instruments are to be reoo riled in thirty-three coun ties in which the company owns prop erty in three states, Oregon, Washing ton and Idaho, also the instruments must be recorded In the office of sec retary of state of the three named stales. The lee .for recording trie in strument in thi county is 327.60, and it ia estimated that it will require one man 4S days to do the recording. It will be seen that the company has changed its style to the Northern Pa oiflo Railway Company instead of railroad company. Brhimd thb Timks. 'Tbe govern ment inagboat Maihloma, wa moored at the old Cauthorn wharf over Sun day. She had been working on the river between thi city and Albany, and wa on ber way up the river to the neighborhood of Harrisburg. The boat is fine in more respects than one; for instance, she is fitted out with a pat ent steering apparatus at an extra coat of J&00, and this attachment 1 worked by (team. Instead ot the man at the helm having to turn, and twist, and sweat io bis exertion to control the craft, he move a little lever and the wheel pin around for him. This lever moves so essily that a child can handle it. The whole affair is so con structed that should the steam steer ing gear gel out of order, it will in no way interfere with working the wheel by hand in the old way. There is no doubt thai in time many steamer will use the contrivance, but at present few crafts are supplied with them." Cor vallis Times.

PROPOSED ASSESSMENT LAW Outlined by Senator Mttlkey " of Polk County. . Many Provision Which Would, No Doubt, be an Improvement on tbe Proaent Law. It provides for the assessment of all prop erty of whatever nature (except school bouses, etc.) belonging to sll persons, firms. corporations or syndicates. The mortgsge tax is practical ly restored. All credits are assessed. Tbe owner of the property snd the mortgagee each pay taxes according to bis equity in the land. , It makes the debtor the sgent in part for ascertaining credits, and If any debtor pays taxes on any amount hs owe another, uch payment of taxes will be considered pert payment of the debt. It makes all property assessable, enn u any person or institution fails to give in their a-sessraent the assessor shall make an arbitrary assessmeat of the same, which shall be deemed a valid assessment Any person or institution wrongfully returning to the assessor bis property, shall, when tbe fact is ascertained, be rightly assessed. and then 20 per cent of such valuation shall be added as a penalty for such vlolstion ot duty, Ths assessor begins his office work Janu ary 1st of each year. Tbe county board of equalization meets August 1st and contin ues in session not less than three days nor more thsn three weeks. After ths work of the county board is performed the county court can make no changes in the assess ment. . - A summary of the assessment only is sent to the secretary of state for the uss of tbs state board of equalization. This saves ths state, through its counties, about $25, 000 s year. Tb state board of equalization, as now composed, is abolished. The duties of equalizing the assessment of tbe counties being vested in the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer, tn equalizing tbe various connty sssessraents they shall, without consideration of the various kinds of property assessed, add or deduct such a per cent to or from tbe total valuation of each county as will be necessary to restore equality. Thia will obviate the necessity of the several county clerks making the changes uausl on the assessment roll. For county purposes the levy and collection of taxes will be maJe upon the assessment as equalized by the county board of equaliza tion. Tbis method of equalization will save the taxpayers $6,000 each year, and will serve every purpose of the present method. It provides that the original assessment roll with the clerk's warrant shall be the basis of the collection, no copies of the roll being made. This saves tbe state, through Its counties, $25,000 a year. Tbe treasurer ia made the tax collector un to the point of delinquency, the sheriff collecting only delinquent taxes. The tax collector is charged on his bond with all taxes placed in bis hands for col lection. This is on the theory that taxes that have been assessed csn be and should be collected. In case such collection is Im possible, tbe proper showing mads to the county court will give the tax collector such credit relief as is just. After the sheriff has exhausted bis power in tbe collection of delinquent taxes then he shall make and file with the county clerk his delinquent roll, which shall be so ruled as to provide for the record of tbe da linqnencle of three years. After nve years of delinquency tbe same is dropped irons tbe records. Tbe bill has many features, and seems to be a perfect assessment law throughout One feature especially worth mentioning, ia tbe provision for the payment by the tax payer of one-balf tbe tax in the fall ana the other half lu the spring. The bill pro ceeds upon the theory that the people are interested in the equal collection as well as lit the equal assessment of taxes. Polk County Observer.
