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.
