Air Pull ot Projected Undertakings for Till County. There are numerous enterprise pro jected for tliis county to be consum mated during the present year, so rumor says, aim mere aooiuii to oe pretty goou prospect that there will be something more tangible than talk oome out of all the rumors. Home very extensive work I to lie done In the vicinity of Clatskanie this spring. In the way of building flumes and mills, etc., which will be very valu able improvement to that section of the county. In fact, thia work 1 al ready In progress, which will increaee the volume of business to be done In that vicinity, and will improve business conditions very materially. The Uoble railroad, which some time ago was sold under the hammer, haa been purchased by Eastern people, to gether with a Inrge body of splendid timber, and the new owners say they Intend to revive operations with their logging road, beside, they contemplate the erection and operation of a large sawmill about wheie the road readies the river. This improvement will be one of great Importance and magnitude, not only to tbat section, but to the en tire county, aud it I certainly to be do- sired that there will bo no slip In the plan as at present tamed ol. lioaldea these undertakings there are cruiser and viewer in the country back of Doer Island, said to be locating a route for a logging railroad to be terml- large sawmill Is contemplated. At that Colnt Is a splendid location for a mill, eing on the river and railroad, and where there I not only a good opportun ity for booinage. but where the depth of water la ample for the safe harboring of any sized ship. There Is a splendid body of timber west and south of Doer Island, owned, largely, by local people, who are endeavoring to promote this enterprise. TUcro is a possibility, aiso. mat tne Mucklemill at this place may be started in operation during the present year, not necessarily to run on the exclusive manufacture of luuibor, alone, but there mav be some new machinery installed and the plant operated in the manufac ture of door stock, for which there Is said to be a greater demand than can be supplied. Tliero may not be anything; come of Ibis talk, but the owners of the mill property here are now working on such a plan, and if the neceasary en couragement can be had there niay.be something more than talk materialize. The resource of this county are prac tically untouched, and there is reason in the belief that "hot air" is not all there is behind all these rumors. At least, let us hope that out of all of this talk there may come some material benefit to the county. Correcting Grade Books. Assessor White-and deputy, Cha. Blakesley, have been engaged for the last two or three weeks In correcting the grade books for the past year and making the necessary change in the present ownership book, all of which involve a great amount of diligence and labor. No year -in the history of the county equals the cast year in numbers of transfers of real estate, consequently the correcting of the .grade book has developed Into a big task. This work Is done In order that the assessor will know the proper owner of the particular piece oi lanu on tne nrst day ol maron, wuicn is known as "base day," so designated by lew, and the assessment of all prop erty is made in accordance with who the owner was on the first day of March of each year, lust as soon as this work Is completed Mr. White -will start into the field to make the assessment for the year 11)02. ......

The Cm day the sheriff had the roll he collected over $300, and there is good prospects that a great part of the amount due on the roll will be collected by the 15th of March, the dosire being to take advan tage of the 3 per cent discount.

In suggesting way and mean for Im proving the appearance of your premi ses it is easy to make large generaliza tions as to methods. Unfortunately. however, the force of large and compre hensive statements is so dissipated that it strikes nownere witn any eltect. we say we ought to improve our appearance and condition generally, and everybody says "amen." rue assertion la too gen eral. It give every man a chance to say, that hits Jones, across the street but it didn't touch mi. Let this be an apology for getting down to particulars. Mow does your door yard look? If you have never -mowed tbe grass before, begin this year. If you can't afford a lawn mower get a scythe. There is plenty of moisture to keep your lawn Kroen up to July if you will give it a ttle attention. Why not do it? It will help the looks of vour place won derfully, and won't cost anything but a nine laoor. How is your back yard? A prettv good way to judge a man is by his back yard, you know. I yours full of old tin cans, broken crockery, discarded kitchen utensils, cant-off clothing and other disgusting clap-trap? Get it in a pile, burn what is combustible and hire a man to haul oil" the remainder. This will give you a 10 per cent boost in the entiuiation of all clean and orderly peo ple, yourself Included. Do you have a lot of old moss-oovered fruit tree in your yards? Trim out the top, scrape off the moss; buy 10 cents worm oi lime, catcu a pan oi rainwater, make a gallon of whitewash and white wash the trunks. This will improve the neaun oi ttie tree and add wonderfully to the looks of vour place. Do the slos from your house run out through a spout lu the wall and fall into a disgusting, disease-breeding pool out side? You had better stop that kind of thing. If you don't, you will take your departure from ibis sphere suddenly, some day, without choice of routes or definite location for tbe future. An Eastern man will hold his breath and run till he gets out of range of such a nuisance. You couldn't live in the eame ward with it anywhere except in Oregon. Better construct a sewer; it's cheaper in the long run. If you can't afford to do this, or are not nronerlv located for it. you had bettor carry off your slops and not let tneni form a menancing pool. . Deer Island Ifote.

Malmsten and Tell Soule have been working on their claims east of town, building cabins, clearing out roads and otherwise getting things in readi ness for habitation. There may be some "happenings" one of these day, eh, boys? m Oi all the long-winded bawlers we have ever known or read about, Post master Kensey' cow can take the cake. She kept the whole town and part of the country around awake last Saturday night, in spite of Dow'a coaxing her to be still. J. W.

' Aiinouirii wa navfl iwrorn on ntarf an outline of the provision of the new law In regard to taxpaying, we consider it such an important matter that we re- firoduce the 'following synopsis of the aw, which went into effect on the 1st of last December! 1. If you pay your taxes on or before March 16 you will be allowed a rebate of if percent. 2. If i you pay your taxes between March 15th and up to and including the first Monday in April, there will not be any rebate, neither will there be any penalty or Interest added. 8. If your taxes are not paid on or before the first Monday of April, they become delinquent, when there will be added a penalty of 10 nar cent. and the tax will also draw Interest at the rate of 12 per cent per annum in ad dition to the penalty, 4. If vou pay one-half of your taxes on or before the first Monday in April, then the remaining half may run up to and including the first Monday in Octo ber following: but if the last half of tax due is not paid by the first Monday in October it becomes delinauent. and there will be added to such balance a penalty 10 per cent, and in addition, the balance will hear interest at the rate of 10 per cent- per annum from the first Monday in April nntil paid. 6. On all personal property taxes, if one-half is not paid on or before the first Monday in April, the law comnels the sheriff to levy upon and collect the same after May 1st, hence to prevent a levy upon personal property after May 1st it will be necessary for one-half to be paid as above stated. 4. Tbe law comnels tbe sheriff to sell all lands on which taxes have not been aiJ, and tbat such sales shall not be ater than March 1st of tbe vear suc ceeding the year in which the tax levy was mailt). 7. The property will be sold to the person bidding the lowest rate of inter est, and certificates will be Issued there- lor, ana deeds given to such property sold, unless redeemed within three years irom tne date oi su.cn sale.
