The case in which Wmhlnirton county
was scukina to hold the estate of Anna
0. Hatch liable for expenses of Inquest
was decided by trie district court at
Hillsboro, Monday, and was ft complute
vindication for Administrator Waters'
position. The county bad put In
claim for $151 (Instead of $25 as erron
eously stated last week) which the ad
ministrator refused to pay. He offered
to pay $26, but the county judge refused
to accept and threatened suit, Mr.
Waters finally deposited $100 in court
and agreed to submit the case to the
district court. When It came to trial,
Judge McHrids decided that an estate
could not be held for costs of an inquest.
It has been the custom of several coun
ties of the state to .hold estates liable
for such costs, but according to Judge
MuBride's decision this it illegal. For

Columiiia Crrr, Dec. 4.(To the Ed
itor:) The love of news It to much In
evidence, and tome of it of to little
value, would It not be well to tpeak on
subject that could not be construed as
news item, in the hope of its novelty
attracting attention? In other words,
following in the lead of the new era in
which we live, It's a demonstrated prob
lem that Ignorance is not bliss. Yon
may say I am living example of that
fact, and as the world moves so rapidly,
I irrow more lonesome everv day of life.
The young can be relieved of this pain-
lui reflection in one way oniy be wise,
good and useful in their day. Before
now I should have said what I wish
more particularly to say.
Ws learn yonr good people are about
to build a large school-house in 8t. Hel
ens. Wlilis there is nothing yon can do
which will bring so much permanent
sood to your town at that, yet, it Is not
conceivable that we as ft nation, have
arrived at that stage of civilization that
we are able to do for another, in fact
many others, for in advance of the old
world an to love and interest of human
ity. As every section of this broad land
dmlts this truth, we bave committed
ourselves to scientific philosophy and
bene unable to recede. .
To return, would It not be well to Join
ith Houlton and Columbia City and
build a union school-bouse midway be
tween these places, so as the country de
velops, we will be with it and not be
hind other parts of the state.
Out on the high table-lands there is
one of the most beautiful spots for a
college building, the like is hard to find,
ten acres oi a nat, Dasait rocx, which
now can be bad for the asking, for such
uselut and grand purpose, a large
stone building could be put up very
heaolr as we have an abundance of the
best building stone on or near the
ground. If not there I have the best of
building sandstone on tnv farm, just
below town, oi wnicn i win give enougn
to nut un anv buildins desired.
1 want to say this in the hope that it
may do some good when I am forgotten,
lor this Doopio. mis opportunity is
now attainable and if lost, time will not
erase the regrets. What grieves me
most now is the opportunities that I
waived aside; and drifted on, yet one
consoling thought remains, what I did
for educational purposes, lor lamuy ana
for friends was a paying investment
morally, socially and otherwise. Per
haps It Is hope that inspires me. If it
is all delusion who is able to draw
the line? In conclusion let us picture to
ourselves a fine, large, stone college
built urjon the Grounds of Henrv Mont
gomery Knighton, selected as a donation
land claim in Itm, surrounuea oy a
great number of small cottages as pleas
ant homes of tbe lovers of learning, al
ways remembering that without these
advantages the press and free speech

Abot Tax-Paying.
At the last session of the legislature a
new law was passed In regard to the col
lection of taxes, which law took effect
on the first of this month, and in sub
stance is aa follows:
1. If you pay your taxes on or before
March 15, next, you will be allowed a
rebate of 8 per cent.
2. If you pay your taxes between
March 15 and up to and including the
first Monday in April, there will not be
any rebate allowed and neither will
there be any penalty or interest added.
I. if your taxes are not pam on or
before the first Monday in April, they
will become delinquent, when there will
be added a penalty of 10 per cent and
tbe lax will also draw interest at the
rate of 12 per cent per annum in audi
tion to the penalty.
4. If you pay one-half of your taxes on
or before the first Monday in April, then
the remainimr ball may run up to and
including the first Monday in October
following; but if the last half of tax due
is not paid by the first Monday of Octo
ber, it becomes delinquent, and there
will be added to such balance a penalty
of 10 ter cent, and in addition, such
balance will bear interest at the rate of
12 per cent per annum from the first
Monday in April until paid.
6. On all personal property taxes, ii
one-half is not paid on or before the
first Monday in April the law compels
the ahpriff to lew urjon and collect the
same after .May 1st, hence to prevent a
evv on personal property alter May 1st,
it will be necessary for one-half to lie
naid aa above stated.
6. The law compels the sheriff to sell
all lands on which taxes have not been
paid, and tbat such sale shall not be
held later than March 1st of the year
succeeding the year in which the levy is
made.
7. The property will be sold to the
person bidding tbe lowest rate of inter
est, and certificates will be issued there
for, and deeds be Riven to such property
sold, unless redeemed within three years
from tne date oi saie.
FOR SCHOOL LIBRARICS.
The last legislature placed upon the
statute books of this state law, which
if taken advantage of will be of untold
benefit to tbe schools of Oregon. The
law provides the means for securinc
school libraries for every district In the
county that wishes to make an appro
priation for this purpose. The law it at
follows;
'The county courts of the several
counties of this state mar at their dis
cretion levy, at the same time they levy
other taxes, tax upon all taxable prop
erty in their counties for school library
purposes, which shall aggregate an
amount which shall be no less than ten
cents per capita for each and all the
children within the county between the
ages of four and twenty years, aa shown
by the then last preceding scnooi census,
which shall be collected at the same
time, and by the same officers as other
taxes are collected ; ana sucn aggregate
sum when so levied and collected shall
be known as the general school library
fund of the county, and tuch fund shall
be set aside and used for no other than
school library purposes, in tbe manner
hereinafter provided for." -
A school library is regaraea oj an
teachers as ft necessary means for the
education of the boys and girls while
they are attending the pnbiic schools,
but only a few of the schools are pro
vided with suitable books, and no pro
vision is made in the law for the expen
diture of money for them except in the
section nuotea. rne rural scuoois es-
. .... . . i .
pecialiy teei tne neea oi irou, ior w
many of the homes are without reading
matter that Is suitable for young people.
It would only require an appropriation
nf anion nf county funds to place in
everv school district tbe nucleus of ft
library around wnicn wouia grow
ler.tlnn nf hooks that would be of great
help in the education of tbe children ot
the district.- Some districts would re
ceive but ft few dollars, but this would
purchase few good books, and as it is
Impossible to measure the power of a
book, so it is impossible to estimate tbe
valna tn children of even ft few books.
Ten cents is a small sum to ask for read
ing matter for each child in tbe county
for a year, and it does not seem possible
that any citizen could object to this ex
penditure of county funds. Every
school in the county would feel the ben
afleinl influence of such action. The
county court has authority to act, and it
would doubtless be sustained by the
people in making the appropriation for
tbe benefit of the children of the county.

Fifty years ago oratory was the great

Oorwln and others gained their emi

people largely through their oratorical
ability. Even as late as Lincoln's dav
no other capacity waa equal to the gift
of eitraordlnary excellent speech, with
out which he would never have been
president, or risen to eminence, de
bating societies flourished in every back

School District Consolidation.
Some talk Is being indulged in nowa-
. ... .- ul- i l j:
oava in tne uoiuniuia vuv bciiuui uiv
trii-t rouanlinir the feasibility of consoli
dating with the St. Helens district and
attaint the latter district in the erection
of the new, modern school building to
be nut ud here next summer. The ad
dition nf that district would make
total vnluation in the consolidated dia
trict of over $100,000, the valuation of
the Columbia City district this year
being 181,380. On such large valua
tion a t3,000 or (4000 building could be
with onlv ft small burden on
each individual taxpayer. Besides this
increase in the valuation tne number oi
pupils to draw school money would be
increased to almost 100. Besides these
advantages, the fact of consolidation
wnnld enable us 10 maintain sucu
school that the entire country about
would feel the necessity of patronising.
This plan could be carried out with
great and good results to an concerned.
