It's about time for caudldaUe for
oounty offices to be looming up, so
that the voters may have an opportun
ity to figure out for whom they will
vote at the primary election, The
new election law is likely to be pro
ductive of a strenuous oampalgn, at It
makes it longer and iu faot is two
campaigns in one. When a candi
date ImB to start In January and keep
up the raoe until Juno, be Is likely
to thnik that the opponents who were
defeated In tbe primaries were more
fortunate thau be, even : if he wero
eleoted to tho office sought.
The tax levy made by tbe oounty
oourt Is the lowest In the history of
Jaokson oounty. The low rate is
dun primarily to the inorease in valu
ation of taxable property. Valuations
nave been raised by the assessor and
tht volume of taxable property hoe
also Increased materially. Tax payers
will probably not find a great deal of
difference in tbe amount of taxes paid
luBt year and the amount tbey will be
oalled upon for tbla year. There is
juBt so muoh money to be raised
whether with a low valuation and a
high rate, or by a high valuation and
a low rate but the latter looks bettor
to people from the outside.
One of the enoouraging features of
the agricultural and horticultural con
ventions of tho last fow years is the
absence of paper farmers from the

speakers at these meeting weaje ohlofly

knowledge of their subjeots from
personal experience. Men who are
seeking notoriety for politioal pur
poses and wbose knowledge of agrl-
oultue and horticulture extends no

Jackson oounty property. The big
railroad corporations are fighting for
the trade of tbe North Paoiflo and
roads are being built In this direotloa
from various points, The two roads
which are projeoted from Medford ara
both pointed in the right dlreotiou
to oonnect with other roads now in

The Medford k Crater Lake road oan
be easily carried over tbe Cascades to

Trip to Butte Falls.
I made a triD to the Butte Falls saw
mill last week with a load of house
hold goods for Mr. Harris' brother-in-law
and of all- the tougb roads I
ever traveled the road to Butte Falls
is tbe worst of tbem all at tills time
of year. From about a mile above
Eagle Point to the mill ia one con
tinuous round of pleasure over rooks,
roots and stumps, through mad hub
deep and snow three to eighteen
inobes deep. O, it is just a- pleasure
ridel Especially when you are
perched in tbe air on the seat of a
wood rack about eight feet from the
ground.
we stopped tne nrsi nigiit wit.ii
Congenal Joe" Woodruff, at Browus-
boro: had ""a verv pleasant evening
and a bountiful repast. Mr. Wood
ruff, Jr., favored us with several tine
Bolectioua on his guitar (of whioh
he is a master). We started out in
the morning to climb the Obenohain
mountain. All went well ior aoour,
threA hnndred vards. when Mr.
Streets' team got tired and refused
to tarvel farther until- relieved 01
nnrr. of their load, which was done
and another team added to my outfit,
after whloh we got along One. Reaob
ed Big Butte postottico in time for
dinner. Had as fine a dinner as
one could wish ; made the mill site,
unloaded, and returned to Obeu-
ohnin'B for the night. Right here I
want to suy that there 1b going to be
something douevat Butte Falls one of
these days. There Is one ot tne Quest
sawmill propositions iu Southern
Oregon and all that is needed is the
oomplotiou of the M. & C. L. R. R.
to make it one ot tne Dest in uregou,
and Mr. Harris and his company
ought to have the hearty support of
the oitizens of Medford in this en-
tsrpiiso. All that is needed is trans-
put UILIUU.
Now for a word for mine host and
hostess of Hotel Obenchain. Tne
weary traveler that jinkes their place
for the uicht is certainly fortunate
and any oue that leaves their table
witbout letting out nis Deit at least
six notoaes is not in tbe humor for
good fare. Their table fairly groans
with everything that is good for a
hungry man to have and more thau
is good for him. They try to make
every one feel at borne with games,
musio aud tbe charming Misses Obeu
cbaius' lively conservation. One
leaves with tho greatest regret and
fully determines that if he travels
that woy again he will stop there,
even If be has to travel half the
niuht. When I left there Saturday
morn lug there was nbout a foot of
snow and still snowing as hard as it
could, out the good cheer that I loft
kept me in good condition until 1

The Tax Levy Mlxup.
There has been more or lees said
during the past week over the faot
that tbe city tax levy was not filed
with the oounty clerk within the time
prescribed by the state law, and the
impression was prevalent, to a certain
extent, that there could be no levy
for taxes for municipal purposes this
year.
The state law provides that such
levies Bball be filed with the county
clerk not later than January 1st oi
each year, while the Medford city
oharter fixes tbe time of filing at not
later than January 20th, and right
there was where the mixup occurred.
Following the charter Recorder Hart'
zell did not file the levy until aftei
the 1st of January, and County Clerk
Orth, aoting under tbe state law, re'
uaed to receive it. It is the opinion
of attorneys, however, that the imper
ative jurisdiction given the city taj
the provisions of its oharter will ren!
der the action of the city recorder t
legal one and that the county couri
will take that view of the matter and
admit the levy, espeolally as the fail
uro to collect taxeB for this year would
work a great hardship ;upon this oityj
A somewhat similar caBe occurred
at Corvallis, only in this Instauoe the
oity oouncil failed to make any levy1
at all, but Attorney Genoral Crawford
rendered an opinion. to the effeot that
the action of the oounty court in re-j
oeiviug the levy after the prescribed!
time would be legal.
