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. ......

Big Rush to Fay Taxes Before the
10th of March.
The county clerk finished with the
work of extending the tax on the 1901
roll last Sunday, and Monday morning
the big book was turned over to Hiieritt
Hat tan. with the warrant of the elerk
attached, and the sheriff is now engaged
in the work of notifying taxpayers of
the amount due from them. 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. The
total amount to tie collected on the roll
is $57,716.75, divided into the several
funds as fallows :
State tax $ 0,487 00

DtCMANDH ATTENTION.
Thins Easily Done to Improve Con.
dltlona for Better Health.
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.

OVtiAUK OF TAX LAWS.
Taxpayers Hhould Htndy Provision
of the New Measure. '
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

CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETS.

transacted its business with dispatch.
The meeting waa presided over by Dr.

Rainier, was chosen secretary. There
were but eight committeemen present.
Auburn, Nehalem, Deer Island, Apiary
and Marshland precincts being unrepre
sented. . The apportionment of dele
gates was based on the vote cast in No
vember. 1900. for McKinlev presidential
electors, at a ratio of one delegate-at-large
and one for each 26 votes or major
fraction of 25, which will make 45 dele
gates in the convention. The place of
meeting for the convention was decided
in favor of St. Helens, in fact, there was
no opposition to the convention being
held here. The date for the convention
Saturday, March 22, is somewhat earlier
than has been the custom for holding
county conventions, but as the state
convention is to be held earlier this year
than usual, no doubt the action of the
committee was correct. The primary
elections are called for Thursday, March
20th. at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The
call for tbe convention will be feund in
