The Willamette PulpA Paper Com nanv having recently acquired title to Rock Island.in the Willamette river near New ! ra, is building a weir to extend from the lower end of the island to the mainland on the east to provide lor a winter logging boom. Residents on the east side of the river in the vicinity of the island, fearful that the building ot the weir will cause the overflow of the river during the h:gh water season, have intimated that injunction proceedings mav be resorted to to prevent its build' ing. The management oi toe mine ex plains that the weir will not exceed in height the highest stage reached by the river last winter, ond says that it will be so constructed that damage to property cannot follow. The weir is being con. Btructed of 12-foot planks sot four inches apart. All water that will not pass through the weir in the east channel will be diverted to the main channel. The company thus expects to avoid all pofsibility of any back water resulting from tC? weir construction. Last Friday seemed to be an unlucky day in this pari of the county on Friday evening. Mrs. E.

The wrecked train was an excursion bearing a party of Portland Elks to a clambake at Olym- pia.

WANT ASSESSMENT REDUCED. Southern Pacific Thinks Assessment of Railroad Too High. . The president of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, accompanied by W. H. Andrews and W. W. Brotherton, of Portland, were in Oregon Oity Wednes day relative to the assessment of tbe property of tbeir road in Clackamas county. The Southern Pacific Railroad owns thousand of acres of timber land in Clackama connty, which has been assessed. at $240,000. The assessment of their road property in the county will push the total up to nearly$500,000. This is a considerable.increase over the former assessments but Assessor Nelson says that it U no more increase tnan nas Deen made on property owned by private in d'viduals, as it was agreed to double the assessed valuation so as to reduce rate of assessment. Last year the tax rate was 32 mills. This ;year tbe tax rate will be about 20 imills. Under tbe new regime the railroad company will pay in taxes to Clackamas county a sum aggregating $10,000, or about twice as mucb as for merly. It was in order to get a reduc tion on this tax rate that the officers of the Southern f acinc paid uregon uty a visit this waek. That their efforts were not successful arum without saving. Assessor Nelson does not believel that their property is aniurl nnv too hieh and will hold the eomDanv to his original figures. The total taxable property in Clackamas county this year willggregate $10,0 0, 000. At a 20 tui I tax rate there win De pml into the county a sum aggregating $U0,000. Of this sum the Portland G-ieral Electric Company and the Wil lamette Pulp & Paper Company and the Crown Paper Company will pay about sli -ut one-ienih, or about $20,000, la ll a born?

One day an American called on Geory Brandes, the Danish author, and In formed him he had translated oup o: his books. Brandes thanked htm nn.: said that, as he himself spoke but in different English, although he coulr. read It easily, he would prefer talk!);; Danish. "I don't understand Danish,"' was th unexpected reply. ' "How strange when you read it so well!" "I can't read it either," the American rejoined. "I thought you told me that you had translated my book," said the amnzei' author. "So I have, as you see," replied th American and produced the volume. "The fnct Is we were passing through Copenhagen, and my wife broke her legwhich necessitated our staying here for a couple of months; so I went to bookseller's and, asking for the mt popular book In Danish, received yours I took it home, and through the simi larity of the lnnsunjrfi to Germnn mil English and with the help of a diction ary I translated it, but I didn't know n word of your language when I beguii." "This book," Brandes added, "hns gone through several editions in Ameri ca, although It has mistakes and mean ings I never Intended." No wonder so many authors prnfer not to be read at all to being read hi translations. N The Weight of the Children. With regard to the standard of weight for growing children, that usually giv en by authorities in the matter Is Hint at five years of age a child should weigh about as many pounds as It Is inches high. As a rule, this will not be much over or under forty pounds. Children who come of large families should weigh something more than that. The rate of increase should b? about two pounds for every inch of growth, with a tendency for the welgl t to exceed this standard proportionately father than to fall below it. When a child Is rather heavier In proportion o its height than this standard It n sign of good health. If the child i! growing rapidly It should not be allow ed to fall much below it without bp'v j made to rest more than has been I'.e custom before. A deficiency of welgl t In proportion to height Is always an unfavorable sign. Any Interruption I i the progress of Increase of weight, es pecially during the continuance of growth, must be a danger signal tht.t should not be neglected by those lntev-. ested la the patient Westminster Re view.

A few knockers in the paint business may tell you as they have told others, that Sherwin-Williams paint wont wear Whyl They will say Huntlty him self tried it on his own house a few years ago and that it pealed off and had to be renewed in 2 or 3 years. Now this is the lie that is nailed C. G. Huntley did use a mixed paint on his house some years ago that' failed to wear as well as it should, but it was not Sherwin-Williams Had it been, the house and its paint would not now be food for knockers and gossipers. Long ago we discontinued handling that unsatisfactory paint; and we might add here for our friends information that those hcuses which did not wear as they should, were? repainted without expense to the property owners. to. i tfi Last year our increase in the sale of Sherwin Williams paint was only equalled by 3 agents in Oregon.
