Blnca tha new ordnr of thing went
Into effect, there ha been no further
disposition on the part of tha itata to
uluoe weir ssaessco valuations at a low
figure. Multnomah county reduced her
valuation aorao years ago to a very tow
Bgure, thereby eac-aping payment of hr
Just proportion of alate taxes. Now.
however, each county ha been required
to nav certain percental toward tha
maintenance of the itate, ao valuatloni

An Oregon farmer who went to Kanaai
a year or two ago to engage In farming in

recently aa followa; "I believe in diver-
iltled agriculture. An exhibit of my

have raised ona acre of baked potatoes,
flltv buihela of dried peaches, twenty-
fire acre of parched corn, on acre of
roaited peanut, and. if the weather
eontlnuee drv 1 will have about two
acre of melon pretoms. The balance
of my crop consist of chinta bug, grass
hopper and jack rabbit."

There waa an elopement of a fifteen-year-old
girl and a twenty-year-old boy
at Hcappooaa lat Sunday, which hai
not only coat the parent much mental
anguish, bnt the iheriff, alio, much
trouble and expense in hi andeavora to
locate them. The young couple don't
aeem to be anywhere on tha earth which
can be reached by telegraph or tele
phone, aa Hherilf llattan baa kept np a
continaoui Are of wind and lightning in
hi endeavora to locate the runaways, aa
tha girl' father, Mr. Tom Grant, is an
xious to know their whereabout!. The
young man'a name la Joseph Mayers,
whoee home waa in Kcappooee canyon.
Messrs. Oarar Hunter and Goorge
Foater, nr., of Uoble, were In the county
eat laat Saturday completing deal
whereby Mr. Hunter acqulrea title to the
land at Uoble now occupied by the hotel
and aaloon building, having 100 feet of
river front. Mr. Hunter expects to ma
terially improve the premlsea. fitting np
ami conducting a good hotel, and next
year erecting a large wharf. Uoble hai
never had a wharf, and inch an improve
ment will eupply a want which bai been
keenly felt for many years. All the way
up and down the Columbia river there
are many noticeable Improvement! of
the nature that Mr. Hunter iiaa in con
templation, and thla done at Uoble will
only evince tho fuel that that plane In
tendi to keep pace with other localitiea.
Bait waslnstltnted In the circuit court
In tbl county a few day ago to recover
till to land eold for taxea at the July
aale, on which the county held a lien.
The patent to the land had been Issued
several year ago, but had not been re
corded, however, the assessor being in
possession of thin knowledge, accord
ingly aaaeaeed tho land, bnt no tax had
aver been paid. The land eold for a
great deal more than the amount of the
Hen and a deed according to all the pro
visions of tha law wa iiined by the
aheriff. The outcome of tliii uit will
bo witched with eager Interest aa it In
volve! quaitlone of vital moment. If
lil u doea not nrotect the county.
then thore ia little hope for the future
and no poiiible way to compel tha pay
ment oi taxea.
Laborer of all kind are atill scarce,
nil enntrantora are exoerienctna much
difficult in rotting help. There baa
)un rv much buildlna thia fall and
the demand for labor baa been steady.
In eonaeauence ol the eceroity oi mou
there haa been ome delay, but many
nl tha mntmi'tori have aent to other
localitiea for men, and It ia thought
there will be lei trouble hereafter in
labor circle on the Columbia. In die
tha labor Question recently a
well-known mlllroan laid i "One of the
ni-liiolnul ann (or the action of MW'
mill men In building their milli together

Where there are five or six mill there
a a nmntar of available men,

The tax roll of Clatsop county for
........ r,a am Inlnir examined
with a view to atraightenlng out titloa
tolandi, and some Interesting discover
lea are being made. A the work pro
greaaea it liaa been discovered how some
property owner have escaped paying
taxes. Teraon who have purchased
anhnnl lurwl from the Itate have, in
past yean, made partial paympnt on
the property, but have permivwu .
balance to remain unpaid. Of courae,
until full navment wai made the prop

the court flnda much laud on whlc I
taxei cannot be collected. It i eitl
mated by Judge Gray that folly twenty
aectiona of land In Clataop hnyo thui
lieen held without payment of texei.
The work ia ahowlng many intereiting
remit. In eome iuitancp where two

there ia confusion, becauae one hai paid

"present." Nearly every iurvman
asked to be excused from duty, and

an adjourned term will lie held. Some
business will be attended to. however.
during this week, by the Judge, but
nothing ol Importance, particularly, to
the public. No grand Jury was ap
pointed, as had been suggested, and
there appear to be nothtng of a crimi
nal nature In sight to come before the
conrt. The expense of the term will be
the lightest for years, a condition to be
accepted without grumble.

E. B. Tongue, donutv district attorney
of Washington county, waa in town ye-
teruay.
District Attorney Allen was In town
Tuesday to attend circuit; court, but
there seemed to be littlo for him to at
tend to. Thw conduct of Columbia
county people all of them seems to be
almighty good lately, but there might be
spontaneous combustion of hellerv any
time, when Friend Allen will get in with
his fine, Italian hand and invoke the
laws' demands.
On Thursday evening of last week
the members of Mixpsh chapter, East
ern Star, of this citv. celebrated the
seventh anniversary of the institution
of their chapter, and a delightful even
ing was spent. A "tew friends were In
vited to join them in their lodge room
and participate in tha festivities, which
consisted of games, readings and recita
tions, alter which lunch was served in
the lower hall.
The matter of exoerting the books
of the various county officers did not
seem to agitate many people. We pre
sume the books are all right. The
method of each officer keening tab one
another, which haa been In vogue for
several years, renders it ImposHible for
any of tne officers to get very far out of
the way. even if any were so Inclined.
The county court examinee and checks
np the hooka of the officers at each ol
ita term.
Dr. and Mra. Cliff and children were
uesta at the Goorig home, near Wood
and, Tuesday, and assisted the family
in celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of
the wedding of Mr. and Mra. Georig,

and a most enjoyable time had. The
hoat and hostess were for many years
resident of thi county, residing on
Germany bill, where a splendid farm
marks the scenes of their earlier life and
Industry. Mr. Georig's health is failing
very rapidly.
resident of thia part of the county, in the
yicinlty of Yankton, expects to leave
this week for an extended visit to his
native state of Maine, where he will re
main for four or Ave months. Mr.
Sherman sold hia 160-acre tract of tim
ber, on Coweeman. in Washington, for
a mug sum of money, sufficient to ena
ble him to live in comfort the balance of
hia days. The fact of being crippled
makes bis good fortune all the more to
be appreciated.
Alva Wikstrom. of Yankton, returned
Tueaday from a two months stay in the
hiskiyou mountains. In Ualilornia, near
Yrcka, where he has been doing de
velopment work on some gold bearing
quarts ledgea which he owns there.
Mr. Wikstrom I well pleased with the
result of his two month's work, as an
assay he had made of the ore wbilo in
Poitland Tuesday shows the value of the
product to be very good. He haa both

by the council that would be more ap
preciated by the public than the sup

Judge McBride renderd a decision
Tuesday in a case which he haa had
under advisement for some time, and
one which is of much Importance to the
people of Clatekanie. The heirs ol the
Bryant estate have been In a controversy
for some time regarding the distribution
of the estate, bringing suit against Han
nah Conyera to cornel her to agree to
certain allotments. The case haa been
pending for a long time, and the decision
gave Mrs. Conyera the verdict. This
may not settle the matter, as the su
preme court may be appealed to to de
cide the case.
Sheriff Hattan, according to his notice
given, proceeded to sell by public auc
tion, luesnay, at me couri-nouso an too
lands on which taxes had not been paid
for the year 1900. There were many
eagor bidders and all the lands adver
tised were reaauy taaen in oy oumiue
parties, the county being required to
take but a very small per cent. In fact
about all the county took waa some cer
tain piece over which a controversy has
arisen aa to whether or no the taxes bad
been paid for a previous year, which, it
is claimed, was no fault of the owner
that it had not been paid, the total tax
amounting to only about t50. Tax col
lecting matters are getting down to con
siderable of a science and thoroughness.
Spray the Fruit Trees.
Orchardists need to adopt stricter
measures for the eradication of pests.
The interests of the fruit raisers are in
jured by the presence of insects that
destroy the trees and the fruit on the
trees, and in some place no attention ia
paid to them. . , , ,
it lias oeeu aemoiiBimwu wuwo..v.j

Northern faoiflo Offers Hammond
8, 800,000 for It.
A dispatch from Astoria, dated Octo
ber 14th, says :
"It is reliably reported here that the
Northern racilic Railroad Company re
cently offered A. B. Hammond 3,500,
000 for the Astoria & Columbia River
railroad. The olfer is said to have been
declined, thongh the impression prevails
that Mr. Hammond is still considering it.
"Along with the story of the reputed
offer comes a statement to the effect that
the West will soon witness a clash of
railroad interests the like of which has
never before been seen in this country.
The contending hosts will be the Hill-
Morgan interests and the uarrlman
Vanderbilt combination. On the one
side are said to be arrayed the Southern
Pacific, the Union Pacific and the O. B.
A N. Co., while on the other are the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
0. B. A Q. It is said that the Northern
is now building into the 0. K. & N.'s
wheat territory in the Northwest, while
the Burlington is bnilding into Union
territory, with an outlet at Los Angeles.
A railroad man is quoted as saying :
" 'In the North the Columbia river
will be the storm center of the gigantic
struggle. Owing to the heavy grades
leading to the Bound cities, Tacoma and
Seattle must be abandoned, and the
combination of Northern roads will seek
an outlet on the Columbia river. In an
effort to secure this outlet an offer was
made for the A. A C. Evidently it bas
been declined, or else taken under con
sideration, for the Northern is now ae
cnringcontrolof the Kalama waterfront.
I have no doubt that one of the two fac
tors will purchase the A. A 0. road.'
'"The impending; rieht will be the
greatest of the age, as it will be war to
the finish. The opposing interests are
after the great Oriental trade, and, as
the Columbia offers every advantage,
being much closer to Asia, control of the
situation here will be the main consid
eration. Within a few years tha Oriental
trade will be enormous, and the fight to
control it will be the greatest in the his
tory of the country.' "
