SALUTATORY.
We hope the ninny readers of the
West Side will not consider us in
truding upon their good nature aud
forbearance when we say we have
come to Polk couuty femmiUy,
and earnestly trust Uiat the inhabi
tants thereof will give us a fair show
and keep their eyes upon us. We
believe without doubt that Polk
and Yamhill counties are the two
best agricultural counties in the
State. Polk county has a history
of which every citizen in it ought
to be proud. We hope that our re
lations will be mutually beneficial
while you get honest endeavor upon
our part in the upbuilding of the
material interests of your beautiful
section of country, we hope in re
turn to receive at your hands a suffi
cient support to keep our lauk an
atomy above the surface of old terra
firma.
In all my recent -travels I am frauk
to say that I did not see, anywhere,
no exception, such a rich, fertile,
lovely district of country as that
comprised in the boundary from
Corvallis to Portland and between
the Willamette river and Const I
Range, commonly called "the West
Side." The greatest trouble with
the average Oregoniau to day, is
that he does not appreciate the vast
resources which surround him
The grandeur of this wonderful
country can pjily be understood
when one coca away from it and
gets a glimpse of the wonderful con
trast which he very readily per
wives.
We have only time this week to
make our politest bow to oue and
all, and in the near future you may
expect to see our shadowy form
floating near your promises solicit
ing your kind indulgence concern
ing the business interests of the
WehtSide. Our better hulf in this
newspaper combination will, as of
yore, continue to cast his smiles up
on vou. while we shall exert our
utmost upon him to keep his views
upon the tariff and cognate subjects
at least within a cable's length of
shore.
Remember our motto is : "Hiu
chickamon mamook close lilicum."
No better example of the fallacy of
deducting indebtedness can be con
veniently brought to light than in
the county and school assessment of
Independence. Through unucrval
nation and deductions for indebted
ness, the county tax is less than
one-half what the school assessment
amounts to, and the reason lies in
the fact that in the county tax each
nerson was striving to outdo his
neighbor in escaping taxes, while
in the school assessment it was with
the understanding that property
Bhould be assessed at full value, and
a great many gave in no indebted
ness. It is found that the very men
who are generally the smallest tax
payers when it comes to the county
tax were as liberal as their neigh
bora, when they knew thoy were not
being burdened with an unjust
amount on which to pay taxes,
There is no secret in the fact that de
ducting debts is the source of a great
deal of fraud. Let those who would
rave and rant and blame the assess
or consider the mote in thoir own
eye. Let the farmer who has $3, 000
worth of land, which is assessed at
11,200, first pay on the three thous
and of value before he complains of
the business man whose property is
assessed at an equal value, and when
the indebtedness is deducted and he
swears to every cent he owes, let
him consider whether his business
friend has not the same right, and
having better facilities for going in
debt, pays much less taxes in pro
portion to his wealth. Let us tax
property as we may, we can remove
the indebtedness clause and get a
much better assessment.
Editor McMillan, of the Mon
mouth Democrat, has sold his plant
to a Mr. Brooks. We wish our
neighbor success in business, and
may he have smooth sailing upon
the capricious Bca which he is at
tsmpting to navigate.,
With this issue of the Wkht Side
wo announce the addition of Bev.
J. K. N. Hell as joint owner with
the former proprietor In the bust
ness. Mr. licit is so well known
not ouly throughout the whole State
of Oregou, but to the people of Polk
county, as to need no introduction
from us. His ability as a writer,
his standing financially, and his in
Buenee among his fellow -men,
makes him not ouly a valuable
addition to the WistBidr, but also
to this community. We bespeak
for him a cordial reception at the
hands of the public spirited eitixeus
of Independence. Our readers will
soon see the impress of his energy
and ability iu improving tliiBper
and making it a power in Polk
county. That we have a prosper
ous future before us can in no way
be better iudicated than by the fact
that such men as J, It, K. Hell are
locating aud investing with us and
helping to build here that which
should exist, a town which shall bo
the pride of its people and of all
Polk couuty.
II. . . I
The simpler the action of a law
the less liable it is to bo evaded,
Tax all property, real and person
al, at its cosh value, deduct no
debts, aud in that way both an as
sessor and the public can easily de
tect fraud. Under our present
law, although fraudulent assessment
is apparent in every county, yet you
never hear of an example being
made. The fact is that the general
prosperity of our State is being
made to Buffer through obnoxious
laws, and uuless the comiug legisla
ture does something towards rein
dying it, next year will see greater
fi amis thau ever. In the State of
Washington the State levy was
made on a basis of 150,000, 000, and
consequently when 200,000,000
was returned, the State foundasur
plus ou baud. In Oregon, it will
be just the otlier way. A levy on
100,000 will be made, aud no in
crease will result, consequently no
surplus.
Tho contract acquired by Jay
Gould over the Northern Pacific
aud Union Pacific railroads may be
an exceedingly profitable move for
the already powerful financier, but
it will be a thorn in the side of the
people of tho United States, who
will be more completely under the
control of a grasping monopoly,
The future effect of this railroad
combination will be seen not alone
in the complaints of the people, but
will enter into the politics of our
nation. The time has come for
halt to be called on the combina
tious of the transcontinental rail
roods.
A TBMPEST IN A TEA I'OT,
Our esteemed coutemporary, the
Polk County Observer, appears to
be quite nervous over a brief, and,
as we think, a very conservative
editorial in this paper of last week
nntilliul M in tftmlilimr A i'l "
which was based upon data sufll
ciently authentic to warrant our re
marka We explicitly said "We
can scarcely credit tho rumor, and
yet It may be true." Indeed, the
whole tenor of our article was of a
conciliatory and "doubting Thorn
as" character, yet our belligerent
contemporary is up in arms at once
daubs on the red paiut, and shouts
his war-whoop.
The head and front of our offending
consists in the fact that we editor
tally mentioned a subject wnlcn a
Dallas correspondent had already
horalded to the world in the lead
ing daily of the Pacific Northwest.
However, since our contemporary,
who is the acknowledged mouth
piece of the western part of the
county, explicitly denies the report
upon which our remarks were
based, we are pleased to know that
our original misgivings in regard
to the matter wore entirely correct
We can assure Bros. Doughty aud
Snyder that we are not engaged in
the "alarm" sounding business,
and are not trying to work up a
little scheme" for sensational pur
poses or otherwise. Again, some
editors have an amusing habit of
trying to score a point by quoting
scripture, but, of course, ihey al
ways make a ' 'mess of it" J ust as our
contemporary did. As a rule edi
tors don't know enough scripture to
quote accurately the flint verse of the
Lord's prayer. Our good brothers
over in the Observer office are evi
dently in a perturbed and hysterical
state of mind. They have our sym
pathy and condolence.
IT PAYS.
Iii a recent article we discussed
the necessity of establishing a fruit
cannery at this place, and argued
that it could be made a paying in
vestment. The other day a friend
handed us some facts and figures
relevant to the subject published
in the Chariton Courier, a Missouri
paper. The tacts are as tollows:
One year ago a small cannery was
established at Salisbury, Mo., and
during its first season of operation
put up 78,500 cans of apples and
58,500 cans of tomatoes; paid the
farmers 797 for tomatoes and 0,
707 for apples. Tho season was
unusually dry and the fruit crop
quite short. If so good a showing
as the above can be made in a
country where crops are ihort and
the fruit not always of the best
Quality, what could lie done here
where the fruit crop Is never fail
ing and of more than average qua!
ity. A little money is alt that is
needed, together with a large stock
of push and determinat ion. This
is an important enterprise, and is
certain to be established here in In

The people of th Padua Northwest
re nartloularly fortunate In the aeleot-
lou of senators that represent them In
the national halls of lorllatlou. It la
seldom on uUmrvtwIu th pre dis
patches that one of our rcpreaentativee
at Washington make a Awing Fourth
of July oration, but If an appropriation

and a large silt of putillo money la to
be had, our senators are always on deck
and ready Kir action. After all, this I
what we waut. If there la anything
tu the appropriation Hue that la to be
bauded out. we want our men to be
right there, o that we aeoure all that
can be bad. It la Interesting to know
bow men got their opportunities lu lift"
aud how they um them when ouoe for
tune'! door are open!. Talking of
oratory, It may be uoted, we have email
ue for the article juatuow. Home of
our Western nieu have attempted to
electrify the country with the worda of
burulug eloquence, but generally they
have put their feet lu It aud have been
laughed at for their pain. What we
want la the gvuulne metier, who throw
dignity to the wind lu serving hie con
diments. Tbla tiling of politic la a

He drifted lulo politic, aud easily
placed himself at the head of a coterie
of worker that rapidly moved to the
front. When tho ecnatorlal content
came on, that I remembered bye 'cry

pretty well for the capture of the prise.
Quite suddenly, however, the Ore-

triotic and pardonable desire to serve

Heimte of the United Htatea. Persou

Hon. J. N. Doli.h, United States
Senator from Oregon, Is a New Yorker
by birth, but la an old timer lu the
Webfoot Stute, having come acrom the
plains In 1H02, a orderly sergeant lu
Captain Medorein Crawford company,
uown a tho Oregon escort. Upon
his arrival In Portlaud, he Immediately
began the practice of law, forming a
partnemblp In 1H03 with bla present
colleague lu the scimto, J. H. Mitchell
His purtncmlilp lusted until Mr. Mitch
ell's election to tho Uulled States Sen
ate In 1874. Mr. Dolph Inn man of
very oomumoding presence, and I one
of the most logical aud able shaker In
the senate, and I always assured of an
attentive uudlouco both In the chamber
nd lobby, when he addrevst the son
ate upon somo of tho Important ques
tions of the day. Although somewhat
rcservod nod dignified In his demeanor,
hen oiioo acquulntcd with him, there
Is an undercurrent of fueling In hu
composition tli ut beget confidence and
admiration for hltt ninny sterling quail
tics.
During tho recent sesnlon of tho Sen
ate Mr. Dolph gained considerable
uewspapcr publicity among tho several
correttpondciita of what is commonly
known a "newspaper row" In Wash
ington, for his action aud speech la re
gard to executive session of the Senate.
A Is well known, nn executive schhIoii
of thcHenato I strictly secret, aud Its
proceedings for that reason aro much
sought after by tho omulpreNcut corres
pondent. Every senator who Is known to have
been at the session, Is shadowed by a
newspaper man, who tries by every
means at his command, to gain an Ink
ling of what transpired at the session.
Sometimes an opportune word or two,
carelessly dropped by the senator from
way back, gives the seeker a cluo, and
he never rents until ho hits unearthed
skeleton enough to build a frame to.
Often the news gatherers meet and
compare I Ot -s and the result Is, the
next morning, all the leading dullles
huve a column article ou what occurred
at the secret session, Hometlmeg these
stories were very wide of the mark, but
generally thoy conlalued enough truths
that should not have been made public,
to place the senators lu an embarrass
ing position. This wus what Mr.
Dolph wished to avoid, while not par
ticularly blaming tne correspondents
for getting the news, he delivered a very
fetching speech to the senators who
hod not been able to resist the blandish
ment of the soribllng siren. Of course
hltHMtoh, although delivered In secret
Mwlon, waa duly dlsoovered by tha per
sistent writer, aud lu few days Mr.
Dolph waa heralded through the land
a an enemy to publlo opinion, and
held up a tha advocate of star chamber
councils and close corporation. I
lead of rushing Into print aud trying
to fight tha writer w lib their own
weapon,M r.Dolph discreetly kept qulei
aud lu few weeks, Um angry ourrca-
pondeuta, finding they were fighting
aphlnx, ceased, and nothing more was
hourd of the "executive session war
Hut th result show tbt seed bad fallen
ou good ground, for recently on of th
uewspaper row fellows said whll chatt
ing with aome friend, "that big ecna-
tor from orvgon, haa scared those
fellows so, that it la almost Impossible
to got anything out of them."

The ailiuUlou of Washington Into
the uuton provided many plum upon
the political tree rliw for plucking,
One of the men that have Jumped Into
publlo notice lu the last ten years
Mr. Wataou O. Squire. He la an ordi
nary politician aud laud owner of
Seattle, aud having acquired aome eon
alderable wealth by tha rapid rise In
land values, be bethought htm that It
would be a uloe thing to have tha ban
die of (lovernor to hla nam. He
rightly thought that It would add
beauty, finish and dignity to hla august
cognomen. He got into tne guberna
torial chair. Thl mad tha political
bee grow very warm In hi bonuet, aud
then ha, ilk Alexander, alghcd for
more world to conquer. HI great aim
waa then to gt Into the U. H. Senate.
Owing to th Jealousies between Seattle
aud Tacoma, and also the aspiration of
other patriot who lghed for th soft
nan of offlvW, ha had no very sure
thing of It. John It. Allen, however,
bad enough vote and to spar but ha
and hi frieud got scared, aud In order
to make assurance doubly aura tbey
made a deal with Squire' men. The
result wa the combination waa too
stroug to be broken, and both men were
elected. Houlr la a fine man of genial
manner and he I gifted with that
strong personal magnetism that draw
men to him. He I democratic lu all
reapeota, and I Just th aauia happy,
jolly, jovial man that he waa previous
to his elevation to power. II la also
not distinguished as an orator at Wash
ington. He Is a great mau for getting
private pension bill through, and
therefore warmly remmvbered by all th
old veterans of hi state aa a loyal
friend to those who stood by the old
flag In th time of Its greatest need.

The current of event often throw
man to th frout and bear him upon
It bosom to great and high place.
Tills baa beeu undoubtedly tha ease
with the subject of tbla sketch. Allen
was the Uulled Slate District Attorney
of the territory, and whll not a pro
digious gnnlua, tuade a good and safe
record. He subsequently waa pitted
against Voorheea lu the great pivotal
coutest for delegate to congress. H

democratic party clean out of eight,
and a great ma of the uutenifled, to
use a common expression, hav not
beeu "In It" slues that time In the
state of Washington. This, of course,
made bin popular with the maaaca and
easily gave him the first call to tu sen
atorlal fight of issu Walla Walla la
hi home, where he ha practiced law
for many years. He came originally
from la., the state which since Harri
son's advent Into power ha turned out
such a multitude of politicians. In
personal apxaranc he much more re
semble a bauk cashier or hotel clerk
than a senator. He Is a very modest
and shy mau, but touch him In the
right spot aud you wake up a very bel
ligerent customer. Meeting htm on
tli street he might be mistaken for a
college lad fresh from the triumph of
bla alma mater. In drawing Iota for
the long or abort term In the senate h
won first prize, and la therefore secure
