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 depemltmci la Die near Aiture, I III.IJ.I nil 1 ..I., II J1J-I MOHTUWKSr (KM ATOM. (rtyrllil l nmo, by Northwest News mid Lit emry Durvau.) 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 U to be hauled through thcoomiulttws, 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 grub game any way, and the people might aa well realise It now ae later ou, JOHN It. MITVHKLI Now take for example Mitchell, of Oregon, who haa the republican party of hla elate lu Uie palm of bla hand. When be came from the Kant he had nothing but nerve and pluck, a eult of clothes, th re la w book, and a desperate dctermtuatlou to wlu. Client were few and feva aa acarce a water agate. 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 man lu Oregon, ho had but wire laid pretty well for the capture of the prise. Quite suddenly, however, the Ore- gonitm grew terribly virtuous, folded about It robe of spotless white, aud Uin to allng mud at wicked brother Mitchell, held up the niau'f private character to public ridicule, and luatead of moulding publlo svntlmeut agalusl the aspirant by persecution, won for him the sympathy that elected hliu. Mitchell' opponent wa the Hon, Hoi. Hlrwh, who la now amlatlug the Sul tan of Turkey to govern that heathen land, aud alo, In settling dlxputea between varioua Kuropeait nations. The diplomat la thu atlectually shelved, and will not In any degree stand lu the way of Mr. Mitchell's pa triotic and pardonable desire to serve hi country for another term iu the Heimte of the United Htatea. Persou ally, Mr. Mitchell la a very Ititereetlug man. He haa splendid form ana wean a flowing beard of which he tmrtlcularly proud. There Is no sena tor In the couutry who Is more accom modatliigto hla constituent. Hepend whole deyiat the time, ofteu, lu looking up matter for the jaxiplo of Oregon Moreover, he deserve the greateet credit for reaching a position by the force of hi own aggro! venea. He ha a lawornoeln Portland, and ha gained a large practice by reamin of the 'pull" he I auppoacd to have Willi the great men of the couutry. 1 saw him on the street quite recently, aud his step was as Arm, and hi carriage a erect a It waa twenty year ago. rknator noi.ru. 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." SK NATO It HqlflKR. 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. JOHN' H. A U.K.N. 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 wauijNxl bis opponkut aud buried tit 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 lu his present houorablo place for five year mora. He can therefore well af ford to preserve an air of groat dignity The Tanou pulpit of this eity war well supplied on last Hnoday.
