ance of bard timea a lea year ago tax
paying vaa selected becattae nope of

almost totally abandoned, bat thia prop
erty araa lenlarl aad is alisoat every
iostance correctly aaaeaaed; the aaaeaa
aneBt roll forwarded to the atrretary of
ctate aad tbe amount of tax doe from
the county to the etata computed upon
the ahowing made apoa the aaaeaaoient
roll. Thia tax baa been paid annually
by the cwnty or rather by tbe people
' who make a practice of paying Uxee,
tbongb eoadirioM be piod or bd. Tbe
proportioD oi taxea due iron these
tract to the state baa been paid by
others, and the prompt and persistent
proposals for rebate eboold be and are
met with fiat refusal.
i'ortherroore. through these nonpay
ments the county baa sti-nRgled ander a
load of interest-bearing indebtedness,
forcing op tbe rate of taxation on those
who felt it a moral dotty to meet tbe
demand made opoa tbem. Those of
ns who bare met theae demandayear
after year and borne theae bttrdena are
tbe onea to claim favors if any are to be
granted. It is all vary well for the pec
ulators who ioet faith in the future aad
allowed their holdings to become in
volved, to anoear noon the scene last an
a better condition of things prooiim for
the latere, and ask to be released from
what is a jatt and rigbteons claim
against tbem, bat it is an nnjuat and
bold demand. There are, perhaps, some
in lances where it will be well for tbe
eoonty to coin promise and effect a set
tlement upon rational terma through
inadvertence and error, bat these in
stances are few. The county baa pro
ceeded legally and regularly in its ef
forts to force the payment of taxea, and
we are certain that the came determined
spirit that baa characterized tbia work
in tbe past will make itself manifest in
fntnre transactions.
The sale of all these delinquent lands
ja to take place next Monday, not be
cansa tbe county desires to anjostly
treat any individual, but becaasa it
claim tbe right to what is lawfully and
morally it own. The proper method
for these delinqnenis to porsne ia to
step manfully forward and pay not only
the original 'tax, bat cheerfully reim
burse the county for what it baa ex
pended in tbe effort to enforce its rights
and for its prompt and cheerful pay
ment of state tax justly owing by the
delinquent property.
All EXPAS8IOET EXPOSITION.
According to ex-Senator George W.
Mc Bride, of Oregon, since tbe World'
r air of 1903 "is to celebrate the Louis
iana purchase, it can also be said to cel
ebrate the principle of expansion, wbicb
gives the entente still greater signifi
cance." Mr. McBride, who ia one of
of the national commissioners of tbe
Louisiana fnrchaae Exposition, ha the
correct idea on this point. Tbe World'
Fair which will be held in St. Louis two
year hence will have a significance
which bo other great exposition ever
held in the United State ha poasessed.
With the acquisition of LouUiana
began that policy of national expansion
in tbe United Bute which has been
kept up ever since. The Louisiana ex
pansion made the Florida acquisition
inevitable, and brought it within six
teen year. It made Texas annexation
certain by first peopling that region
with Americans, and then by inciting
them to rice in revolution against a cor
rupt and reactionary government. All
America's claims to the Oregon country
would never have given us that locality
bat for tbe Louisiana expansion which
f are the United State tbe territory bet
ween us and Oregon, and sent tbe set
tle across the rocky mountain who
establiahed the strongest ot all oar
claim and rendered American expan-t
kuow " jkiub certain, turn miiu-j
ence which gave u Texas gave u also
California and Ivew Mexico, through the
war which Texas annexation brought,
i ne juouieiana rurcnase exposition ot
1903 will, in a peculiarly direct degree, I
''celebrate the'p. iticiple of expansion."
All tbe national expansion which the
American people have nad) dates from
the nnrchase of Louisiana bv Jefferson I
nearly a century ago. Leaving out '
Alaska and it island, as well aa all the
territorial accession which the country
made in 1898, the United States is much
more than three time as large ia area
as it was when Jefferson first became
president, Inst before the great empire
west of toe Mississippi was gained.
Every accession of territory which has
coins since 1803 hs been a logical and
inevitable result of that first and great
est of all American annexation. This
fact will give the Louisiana celebration
of li03 a significance beyond that which
ell the country's other expositions have
had, and beyond that which all those of
the future can command. St. Louis

and lit treasury ta so strongly ronioeii
that it cannot meet with a serioas back'
set darina tb next twelve months.
Several facts point strongly to a larger
treasury inrpina thaa .JU,QO0,OU0 for
next year. The army ia in coarse of re
daction. Kegimer.ts have been coming
noma steadily from tna miappinea.
On! a nominal force ja repaired in
Porto Kk-o, and before the end of an
other year nearly ail AmerM-aa troops
mar be withdrawn from Cab. It is
twt'tnated that tbe eot of the arm for
the fiscal year just ended was 1142300)
000, and of the navy 60,S00,(KW. making
a total of C203.0UU.OUU, or fUUJUO.WU
more than the argregate of the last fis
cal year, isnt to inineae complication
uore titan acnoants for the increae.
Onr troops hav left China. Probably
the war department will not expend
more than ilSO.twO.OOO thia year, includ
ing snrh public improvements aa it it
authorized to continue. Here ia a prob
able earing of t,tM),wu. ao material
reduction Is likely in the cost of the
fiavr department, nor do tbe people ask
that the work of naval construction
should be halted. To be prepared oa
the sea is the wisest economy, and the
reorganised regnlar army is similarly a
prudent provision.
A review of all the factor in the case
indicate that there will be a treasury
snrptas in thia fiscal year of from 130,
000,000 to (60,000.000. But if a certain
period of depression anoold eat down
revenue a much a 15 per cent, the re
in! ting deficit won id be a small one aad
the cash balance is large enough to meet
each a call for a series nf years. It ia
far more probable that the secretary of
the treasury will be taxed to Bod osea
for a surplus, and will go oa purchasing
unmatured bonds, an operation that
adds to the financial streneth and econ
omies of the nation. A decreased gov
ernment expenditure is iikety in the
new possessions, saide from the redac
tion of oar military forces there. In a
word, the treasury outlook could not be
better and never has been better.
OREGO.VS XEKDS.
Tbe Evening Telegram has been pub
lishing eontrifcmtiona about "Oregon's
needs." gome of the articles have been
written by practical newspaper men,
and have been trim and to the point.
What Oregon really need, more than
anything elae. ia a "null together"
spirit. Oregon, for years, baa been the
greatest knocker state in the Union
of states. It has bean a case of Astoria
"knocking Portland," Portland "knock
ing Astoria" and the whole galaxy of
towns "knocking" Salem, and so on,
with the interchange of incivilities run
ning between tbe little towns like Uiils-
ooroand f orest Urove. Thia "knock'
ing" spirit has become chronic. It has
extended from town spirit to individual
spirit. In Portland, a man with money
to invest, baa always encountered the
gauntlet of "knocker." If be desired
to bay realty, be was told that be would
go into tbe bankrupt courts nnlea be
nnrchased anm particular niece of nron-
erty. As a eonieqaence, he naturally
vent to a state wnere the knocker
knocketh not, and where his voice bad
been atilled by an avalanche of nnity
among business men. Washington bas
been getting the Eastern immigration.
Not, aa many would have you believe,
by tbe encouragement given them by
railroad companies, but -the fact that
they are met by men anxious to do bos
ineas with them, and if they could not
individually do business, helped others
to make a trade. Wben Oregon' peo
ple arrive at their bosinea erase, they
will get immigration and money. Hilia
boro Argn.
Let it be remembered that news
paper ia not a beneficent institution, en
dowed like a hospital or school by some
philanthropist. It i pnrely a commer
cial undertaking. It mart pay it way
or cease to exi?t, just lite a drapery
establishment. Tbe original function
of the newspaper was to purvey new.
It depend lor it revenue solely on it
sale. Nowadays, advertisement form
the backbone of a newspaper, and new
ia published only that advertisement
might be obtained. Leading article are
undoubtedly of lee importance to tbe
commercial success of a newspaper than
advertisements, and indeed, thaa even
tbe supply of new. Yet it i byiu
leading article that the position and
weight of every newspaper in public
affair are determined. It will be found
that whatever influence s newspaper
exercises is doe to its supply of news,
not to it circulation, not to it display
of advertisement, but is tbe prestige
it ha won by tbe sagacity, the force,
the conviction with which it expresses
it opinion in it leading column, and
which bas given it an individuality and
a personality all its own.
It ha been bat few year since a
great hue and err went np all over the
county against nigh salaried officers,
but of late tbe subject has been dis
cussed so little that perhaps nine-tenths
of the people of tbe county do not know
what salary one county official i receiv
ing. This i perhap o because every
thing regarding county affair i moving
long to smoothly that no one stops to
register a kick, no matter bow much of
of a kicker be may be. Then again, tbe
low aalary proposition was weighed in
the balance and found wanting. Cheap
official mean cheap service, no more so
in tbe county' affair than in any other
commercial purauit. Good men com
mand eood salary, and ffood service ia
worth good pay, A cheap article 1 ex-
irerueiy aear in tue long run, nence
when the county i receiving from its
corps of officer value received there i
no complaint to register, andtheques-
tion of high aalario is an undiscussed
topic.
A weli-posted Pnget sound log buyer
prophesies that within the next five
rear red cedar stum naze will be worth
4 per 1,000 feet, fie base his predic-
tion on th fact that the consumption of
timber in the manufacture of shingles
is so enoimons, a compared with the
amount available, that the growing
scarcity will force the price to tbe figure
named. There may be a great deal of
truth in the statement. The govern
ment estimate place the amount of
standing cedar at 16,308,453,000 feet.
The annual ahingle production i not far
from 4,000,000,000 shingle; or at 10,000
piece to 1,000 feet of log, 400,000,000
board measure is a fair estimate of the
amount used by the shingle msnnfac
turer annually, and the cedar lumber
production is estimated at 100,000,000
feet in round number per year.

Yacanox has come to many schools
