THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1905.
In retuponse to an inquiry wheth-i secure for you & good prie
cr timber claim after final proof
has been made upon it and before
patent has been issued is subject to
taxation, the Portland Journal
quotes authoritatively as follows;
"Until patent has been issued
for realty there is no provision un
der the present law whereby it
may be taxed. Improvements on
' unpatented property may be taxed,
as other property of the fame kind.
1'it the real estate itself, timber
thtieon or mineral within does not
to subject to tax until patent
Las been issued or whatever form
tf deed may transfer title from the
juv eminent to the individual, has
been executed and delivered. This
point is a vital issue in Linn coun-!
ty where it is said that the North
ern Pacific has 100,000 acres of
valuable timber land. A vast area
of these holdings are unpatented, !
yet 6uch progress has been made
in acquiring title that the patent
would issue if requested by the
company. Technically, it has
been held that the law will not
permit of assessing this property,
although it seems apparent that
the last stage of perfecting title is
wilfully delayed bv the person
profiting thereby. An effort has
been made to establish the state's
right to taxes under such circum
stances, but the present rule is to
exempt such property. Unpaten
ted mining property is not assess
ed. Improvements thereon are
subject to tax, but a thoroughly
developed and producing mine
which has not been patented has
been held not subject to taxation."
Heretofore unpatented timber
claims in this county and in prac
tically all others in the state have
been taxed, and each year more of
these lands which are yet without
government title are added to the
assessor's lists. While the above
opinion is based upon the state
statutes and the rulinra of the
courts would in all proaba
- bility invalidate any taxes levied
upon unpatented lands, it is not
likely that the various assessors
throughout the state will depart
from the custom, which has been
in vogue ever since timber lands
became a common topic, of assess
ing unpatented claims. Just now
the revenue derived from this
eource is a material one, particu
larly to those counties in the east
part of the state where vast areas
of government land have passed
into private ownership during the
last three years.
price that will somewhat compen
sate for the long years of dearth
and famine in the wool and sheep
markets. Make the buyers pay
you what your prod urt is worth.
You should enjoy the profits this
year, instead of selling early at a
low figure and allowing the com-
! mission men who do not produce
)our clip, to reap the benefits.
Hold your wool, and preserve
your organisation. -Stand by each
other. " It will pay you to do it.
The buyers, the manufacturers,
are combined against you in the
markets. If you secure justice,
you, too, must combine. It is
your only hpe. Don't sell a
pound before sales day. Don't do
it. Canvon City Eagle.
In a very few weeks time th
new roadway up the grade west of
the city will be completed. It will
be the first monument erected to
the energy and progressivness of
the Citizen's Business League and
note should be taken of that fact.
It mav not be amiss to remark
that the League's work will not
stop with the completion, of this
new road. But this is its maiden
effort, a big one, too, and en
couragement may be drawn from
the success attending this first
project. Taking it altogether, if
the League does nothing more for
a year the new grade will signify
this much: that an association
ot common interests anions: the
business men of this city, or any
city for that matter, is never un
timely and goes a long ways to
ward instilling no small whit of
pride in the city's advancement
and the progress of the country
surrounding. .
Interest in the Livestock show to
be held in connection with the
Lewis and Cark Exposition, and
the inducement of over $50,000 in
prizes, which is offered stock rais
ers, is certain to attract all the
leading stockmen of the country to
the Exposition. The leading stock
raisers' associations of the country
have Ehown their interest in the
Exposition's enterprise by contri
buting generously to the fund set
aside for prizes, and their hearty
co-operation is assured. The Na
tional Livestock Association has
appropriated $2500; the Percheron
Horse Registery Association $2000
for premiums on Percheron horses;
the American Shorthorn Breeders
Association $3000 for premiums on
shorthorns and the American Her
efords Breeders Association $1000
for premiums on Hereford cattle.
This, with the $40,000 appropria
ted from the Exposition funds for
the purpose, brings the grand total
of prize money up to $51,000, It
3 safe to assert that a good part of
this prize money will be kept at
home as the Oregon stock raisers
will be more generously represent
ed than ever before.
Along with the dispatches last
week stating that the lieu land
law had been repealed came the
additional information that the
provisions of the law passed as
last act of Congress before it ad
journed were rather vague in their
scope. In consequence the meas
ure will be passed up to the Inter
ior Department and the General
Land Office will pass its interpre
tation upon the law. Until such
action has been taken and a circu
lar issued by the land officials the
public will remain a little in doubt
as to the exact meaning and intent
of the law. It is evident that
something has been repealed, but
it remains for the General Land
Office to define more closely the
provisions of the act.

A suit will soon be instituted be
tween the states of Oregon and
Washington for the purpose of de
terming the nonhern boundary of
of the former and the southern
of the latter. The northern boun
dary of this state was described in
the admission act of congress in
1859, and the Columbia river was
used as a distinguishing marker.
But the channel of the Columbia
river, like all good things, has
changed as the years rolled by and
a more definite line must be estab
lished. The suit will be a friendly
one in the. United .States Supreme
court. Oregon will have no cause
for complaint against the decision
if the sand banks along the Colum
bia are given to the sister state on
the noith.
There was once a young man
who thought he was the stellar
light in amateur theatricals. So
annoying did his boasting become
to bis acquaintances they decided
to extinguish his conceit, once arid
for all. Accordingly one young
lady wrote him a note, as follows:
"Dear Mr. Snapp We are just
about to present a little play en
titled"The Prodigal Son". Can we
count on you to take a part?
Very truly, "May"
Mr. Snapp was delighted. Seiz
ing a pen he dashed off the follow
ing: "Dear Miss May Your note re
ceived. In reply will say that I
would be pleased to help you out
with the play. I am glad you. re-
