Salem—A spit has been brought in
Taka county to teat the validity of the
act of the last legislature specifying the
manner in which livestock shall be as
sessed and the taxes thereon shall be
paid. The new law provide* that when
livestock is assessed, the tax shall be
then paid or secured at the rate of levy
for the preceding year, and that when
such stock is driven into another coun
ty for pasturage, it shall be assessed
there and the owner shall pay a tax to
that county according to the time the
stock was pastured therein. The owner
can recover from the first county such
portion of his tax as he paid to the sec
ond county.
The purpose of the law was to place
a restriction upon the driving of stock
into this state from other states, or
from one county to another, the .object,
being to lessen the range troubles.
A suit was brought by Lake ¡county

Washington, May 30.—In view of the
published intention of the Isthmian
Canal commission to buy in the cheap

many inquiries as to the price of steel
rails, one of tbe principal articles of
supply which figured in the commis
sion’s determination.
Colonel Edwards, administrative offi
cer ot the Canal commission, addressed
an inquiry to Secretary Drake, of the
Panama Railroad company, intended to
•licit information on this point. He re—
ceved a reply which in substance is
that the price of steel rails in the
United States for the past 12 months
has been uniform at *28 per ton, while
in foreign makerta the price was *24
per ton.
The exceptions were where
rails were sold in the United States for
export, when the prices were estab
lished by direct negotiation and were
matters of private record.
The Panama Railroad company con
vinced the manufacturers that its rails
were purhased for export to foreign ter
ritory (which, Mr. Drake says, Colon
is), and was able to get in June last
70-pound rails fur *22.50 for first qual

Last January it bought 1,200 tons at

and 3,500 for the railroad at *26.45,

Salem—The filing of the referendum
petitions ha* left th* Eastern Oregon
Agricultural experiment station entire
ly without funds. The last legislature
raised the appropriation from *10,000
to *15,000 a year, bet at the same time
passed an act which require* that when
ever public property at any institution
is sold, th* proceeds »hall be paid to
the stats treasurer and be turned into
the general fund.
Attorney General Crawford has given
an opinion in which he holds that this
latter act applies to article* produced
at the experiment station.
Since the
appropriation was included in the om
nibus bill, which has been held up by
the referendum, all revenue for the ex
periment station is cat off.
When the omnibu* bill was up for
consideration in the senate last winter,
Senator Pierce made a strong plea for
the raise of *5,000 a year in the appro
priation. His argument waa that the
station has had a revenue of nearly
*5,000 from the sale of produce, and
that since thia had beea cut off by th*
act requiring that th« proceeds be
turned into the general fund, the leg
islature should make up for it by in
creasing the appropriation.
