It becomes not only monotonous, but sometimes ft difficult task to grind out seven or eight columns of subject mat ter every week, and perhaps our readers become aa tired of our ideas continu ously expressed as we ourselves do In our efforts to five yon something to read. An exchange of Ideas, prepared in a sensible, courteous manner is no doubt greatly appreciated by the public. 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 est Urovs Times. Lift your hat reverently when you Eass the teacher of ft primary school, he takes the little bantling fresh from the home nest and full of bis pouts and passions, an ungovernable little wretch, whose mother admits that she tends him to school to get rid of him.

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 is dead letter.

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. Warren Happenings. Mr. E.

Mr. Jensen is mowing macnine Fifty years ago oratory was the great and win ul ng gift, whereby to attain hieh station. Webster, uiay, uainoun, Oorwln and others gained their emi nence and retained tneir noia upon too 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 woods school district, and the boy who could talk most fluently was the one nu4 nut ii tne inneritor oi punuum Cnrir.

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.
