¡■JACKSONVILLE POST-: ESKIMO FAMILY LIFE. A Glimpie of the Home When White Officia.. Paper of the dtp of acksonville, Oreg in Guests Are Present. A weekly newspaper published every Saturday at the county seat of Jackson County, Oregon. D. W. B agshaw , Editor. Entered as second-class matter June 22, 1907, at the post office at Jacksonville, Oregon, under Act of Congress of March 3, 1879. SATURDAY. MARCH 7. UM4 SUBSCRIPTION: One year by mail $1.50. Advertising rates furnished on application. The result of the recent city election was a surprise to many; the large vote polled indicating that people are taking an interest in governmental affairs, which is com mendable. The new council will meet for organization next week when the new members, Messrs. Prim and Nor ris will enter upon their new duties. What the policy of the new board will be, remains to be seen--Mr. Norris having been elected upon a platform of economy and it being stated that some of the other members favor re trenchment in city expenses, it is likely that there will be some cutting in salaries, etc. No change in status of the liquor question is anticipated, unless it is stricter regula tion of saloons and perhaps a raise in the fee for license, both of which have been talked of on the street. As stated in an editorial last week, there is nothing in the financial condition of the city to get “scared” about. Of course taxes are high (18 mills) but this would not be felt so much if it was not for the high state tax and the 10 mill levy for school purposes, which with the county taxes make a total that is pretty fieree. The present in debtedness of the city is not wholly due to the construc tion of the water system: at the time the water bonds were voted the city had a warrat indebtedness outstand ing amounting to several thousand dollars, also, some of the bonds issued years ago to aid the building of the rail road were still unpaid [one, for $500. was taken up about a year ago] and helped swell the debt.

That persons who live together foi n very long period not only acquire the mime mannerisms. but grow a strong facial resemblance, is an established fact. But It is little known that the same condition often exists from mis tress and servant being associated to gether for a long period of years. There Is usually a strong desire on the part of most servants to ape their tuis- tresses, and this, added to the fact of ’.‘tmstant neiirness. often extends to fa iaI resemblances. There are in a small town in New York state two unusual Instances of this kind. Two widows live there, each of whom has been attended by a woman servant for more than forty years. In both cases the servants have become so like their mistresses that they are often mistaken for them, and their cases have attracted attention far and near. Their voices over the telephone me so alike that friends of the women have given up this method of communication.—New York Sun. *f * ! s Spring, Sweet Spring is Coming and “The World is Growing Better” » More New Goods arriving daily and we are prepared to give you better VALUE, better VARIETY and better SERVICE than ever before.
