AXOT1IE II 1I)0L SMASHED
It appears that even Mr. Honey is not
in fallible. Some time agothe President,
on Ilcncy's recommendation, appointed
W.C.Bristol to le United States Pis
tiict Attorney for Oregon. At the time
it was thought by the general public
Dint the appointment was an excellent
one and that Mr. Bristol was about the
proper thing in every respect. Sow
comes the news from Washington that
Mr. Bristol is about to lose his job, ow
ing to the fact that positive proof has
been given that Mr. Bristol has ben
guilty of unprofessional conduct.
The only evidence against Mr. Bristol
is one of hisown letters, written on June
4, 1W2, so the Coos Kay I-nnd A Improve
ment Company at Portland, in which
be inclosed a contract signed by Page &
Hogart, whereby they agreed to par
el.aso a certain tract of land fruu the
Coos Bay Company for $W,0J0, the con
tract being in the nature of an option.
In h'n letter Mr. Bristol said :
"In view of the fact that what I might
say or do may have considerable influ
ence on the result of the transaction, I
suggest that you call vonr people to
gether and let uie know what lamp sum
vou are willing to pay me in case the
deal goes through."
In this transaction, Mr. Bristol was
tho paid attorney of Page & Uognrt, and
tho act ecmplained of was hisattempl to
extort money from the other party to
the contract. In other words, ho was
attempting to draw a fee from both par
ties to the contract, while employed to
represent the interests solely of tlie pur
chaser. The Coos Bay Company acknowledge!
the receipt of Mr. Bristol's letter, and,
while it looked upon his proposition as a
holdup, nevertheless agreed to pay him
1-500 in cash if the sale was consum
mated. It made this concession fearing
that if it did not, Mr, Bristol would do
omething to block the sale, but they
looked upon this $500 as pure blood
money, to which Mr. Bristol was not en
titled. It happened, from some cause
not known, that the sale was never
made, ami consequently the Coos Bay
' liipany never paid Mr. Bristol the
tti'ii demanded by him.
It certainly looks as if Mr. Bristol nay
crooked, and it is probable that he will
lose his office. This is to be regretted,
not so much on Mr. Bristol's acconnt as
for the fact that it demonstrates the fal
libility of Mr. Heney. If the President
can not rely upon the gentleman from
California, where is. he to place his faith
in the matter of future appointment-?
Possibly it will be necessary to place
Oregon's political affairs in the hands of
a commission to be appointed by the
President.
A GOOD IDEA.
Pomona Grange did good work w hen
it asked the county court to appoint a
county fruit infpector. As Mr. Reed
tiuly said, no part of Oregon is better
adapted to the growing of apples than is
Columbia County. Whenever our fruit
comes in contact with the famous Hood
River product we win the prize, and
thousands of dollars worth of Columbia
County apples have been sold this year
as "Hood River." But the Hood River
people grow carloads where we grow
bushels. The apple industry in this
county is in its infancy and our growers
are just beginning to study the best
methods of growing and marketing their
fruit. They ask for the appointment of
a fruit inspector in order that their
young orchards may be protected from
the carelessness and neglect of those
who stubbornly refuse to do their duty.
Old moss-grown, pest infected orchards
are a curee to the neighborhood ami if
their owners will not clean them up,
authority should be given to some com
petent person to compel I hem to do so.
SOT TOO HIGH.
Says the Toledo (Washington) Report
er speaking of the assessment of railroad
property in this county :
"$18,000 was about one third the val
uation of the road and tiie assessment
was none too high. P.ailroad corpora
tions are as well able to psy their just
proportion of taxation as the fanners
and the merchants; the time lias passed
when tho assessors and Boards of Equal
station can abift the burden of taxation
from the corporation to the people v.ith
out being called to acconnt.
Women living in luxury, who have
none of the difficulties of lile to encount
er, who can't or don't even button their
own tlioes, are not the persons to make
any tfleclive argument against woman j
siill'rage. All they savor can say will
make votes for it. There are arguments,
nnd sound ones, against worn in suffrage;
but women who live in luxury and ease
nnil spend their time over lit-h gow.is,
briilgo whist, pink teas and beauty
-U'.ws, can't present them. Kvery pro-

EXPLAIN
Judge Ilattnn's Defense of the Reduction on Rail
road Property.
Hon. K. S. Ilatt.in has the following
defense in hist week's issue of (lis Col
umbia Register. Wo copy it in tH in
order that tho public mny Lave the
Judge's side of the question and be able
to decide fairly. The poisons! attack
upon the editor of the Mist is only an
attempt to sidetrack the people's atten
tion from the main issue:
"Kditor Register: .8tlieOreg.m Mit
is growing frantic over the reduction of
the S. P. R. R. Co 'a assessment, and
possibly in the interest of his legislative
boom, we would kindiy ask for little
more spsuu this week.
"The total reduction of the S.P. assess
ment was taken Oil the roadbed, leaving
the roadbed at $12,800 per mile, while if
taken off the rolling stock, transfer boat
and other property proportionately, it
would have le;'t the roadbed at $1:5,450
per mile.
"Mr. Flagg says the A. & C road sold
for $50,000 er mile. Sow it was re
ported that the holdings of the A. & C.
Co. was to be sold for $1,000,000. If
true, it does net siguify that the roadbed
is $rU0 per mile. The tax agent of
tha A. fc C. told me that tho original
cost of their rondiied was $10,000 per
mile. I notice in the lease reconiVd
here between the A. & C. and S. P. for
trackage right, that the cash value of
tho S. P-. is put at $25,000 per mile. I
believe the S. V. R. R. Co. is paying
their eharo of the tax. But if Mr. Flagg
w ants to dissect the taxroll I am in for it.
'First let us begin at home. Mr.
Fiagg's printing press, we are told, cost
him $1,500. This press was assessed at
$435, with an exemption of $300, leaving
Mr. Flagg to pay on $135 valuation on a
$1,500 press; also he paid I.G.Wick
Strom $1,350 cash for propertj assessed begun.

R. S. II ATT AN
The discussion of the assessment of
corporations in this comity is not a per
sonal matter between too conntv judge
and the editor of this paper. It is a
matter in which all the people of the
county are uiteiested.- If t tie editor s
printing outfit was assessed at less than
it should have lieeu, Mr. Hattan whs a
member of the Board of Initialization
and it o within his power to have had
it corrected.
The same is true of timber lands. If
the county judge knew that timber lands
worth $00 per iter were assessed at only i
$V2 per acre, was it not bis plain duty, other property in the same neighbor
as a Reformer, to have called thu matter ' hood.

atiun and insisted upou a more equitable
assessment? Public officers are supposed
to look after the public's interest. There
is a theory that tl eyjtro the public's
servants, and especially in Judge llat
taii's case there lias been a prevailing
opinion among his admirers that lie sits
awake nights thinking how he may ben
efit the dear public to whom he owes his
election. Sow, with all this information
iu his possession in regard to timber
lands it seems as if, w ith ft IVmocratic
colleague on the Board . of Initialization,
ha should have been able to (oice a mute
equitable assessment. But the agent of
the railroad corporation was there. He
was Johnny ou the spot. Part of the
lime lie cooed as softly as a sucking dove,
while occasionally he gave the court to
understand that dire results would fol
low any attempt to treat his employers
unjustly. We don't know what salary
the gentleman receives; but he certainly
?arns it, for in a very short time he
talked over $0,000 out of the jiocketa of
the tax payo is of this county ami into the
coffers of tho railroad. They need the
money, while tho men who have toiled
their lives out cWnnitig tip the forests
and contributing to the company's reve
nues caii put in n few more licks of good
hard work for tho benefit of their mas
ters. Still, the Mist will venture to predict
that it can not be done again next year.
In f.tct, we will promise to see that it is
not done. When the Board of Kqualus
tion meets next year a number of the
people will be there, and they will exert
an influence npon that board that will
be sufficient to present a relation of
anv such nctieu. The ti-lit has only jun
sessed the road at $18,000. Now why,
accepting the railroad's own valuation,
which di'l cot include the transfer boat,
should not the assessor's figures have
been permitted to stand? What pos
sible j-jstilication was there for the re
duction? As to the assessment of the Mist, while
it is irrelevant, and a very trivial matter,
we will sell the property assessed for
f'ttx1, and be triad to get rid of it at that
price. The Wkkstrom property was as
sessed to -Mr. Wiekstrom and we had no
kr.owledgu us to the assessor' figures.

should have a Republican Governor.
And were it not for the treachery of cer
tain prominent Republican politicians of
the State assisted by the extremely large
Republican vote of the city of Portland
