ONE OF THE UNKNOWN SPOTS
OF OUR COUNTRY.
A Locality of Strange People and
a Wonderful Fanatioism.
(By M. J. Brown.)

The store was crowded with the
black faces. There were as many
women as men. Tho men have the
strong Indian features, but the
women are more delicate, very
meek looking and half of them
simply hansome. And they all
were observing us with curiosity.
It was not open or ofiensive, but
I could simply feel it.
We made the merchant under

the street to a 'dohie, where his
mndama had dinner ready, and
where she was putting the fin
ishing touches of the housework
by sweeping a dirt floor with a
home-made broom of rushes.
Beans, bacon and tortillas were
the mettl, and I more enjoyed
watching three little children
watch me than I did the meal.

Editor Courier:
Friend Uiciiibolham has a mind
like a corkscrew, that if straight
ened out would ho utterly useless
to his fellow men. As it 'is, he is
able to be used to pull something
with, liis nightmare in last issue
has taken the form of worryment
over the sad plight of some
Alberta towns he has learned of
through the veracious columns of
the organ of the Oregon Big Bus
iness Beast, which information it
garbled out of the Tory Big. Bus
iness organ of Alberta.
For a year it has been known
that this change in the incident of
taxation was -to be taken. The
legislature gave formal notice
months ago, but some towns af
flicted with councilmcn of the
same kind as friend Hicinhothain
shut I heir eyes last March and
went on assessing on the old
basis and encouraging land spec
ulators as much as possible. Now
they will have to scrimp along
until the next assessment is made
and some public oilicials will have
to miss some salaries but no
meals.

believing that the speculator is of
no earthly use to any community
as such, and for absentee and
non-resident land owners they
have still another form of addit
ional tax that is a great inducive
to use, live upon or let somebody
else do so.
Now, when I was up there last
spring I enquired of a town clerk
why nobody was agitating the es
lablishment of our beautiful Ore
gon taxation system that friend
llicinbolham and the Oregonian
and the Portland Light and Power
Company loves so well, and that
gentleman smiled a prominent
smile and pointed out a sanitar

Editor Courieir:
I would suggest that you pub

that very valuable notice that
appeared in last week's Courier
under the heading of "Kill them"
and I would also call to the at
tention all those voters quoted by
the mayor, as not having looked

others, to cut out "Kill them"

ARE DEAD WRONG
DOESN'T QUESTION NEWSPAP
ER'S HONESTY.
Different Means to the Same End,
But Means Don't AGree.
Editor Courier :
I want to say to start in wilh
that the editor has drawn some
extremely wrong conclusions
from some . of my articles on
single tax, to think that I accuse
the papers that favor single tax,
of not being honest in their ex
pressions, and being paid by the
Fels fund for advocating it.
I can't think what you have taken
this from, but allow me to most
emphatically deny any such in
tentions on the part of the Cour
ier, for I consider it one of the
fairest papers on the coast, in
giving everyone a fair chance to
express his or her opinions on
any subject. My kindest regards
to the Courier; he jumps kind of
sideways on single tax once in a
while, but he has not had as
much time to study it as I have, I
expect. I have directed all my ac
cusations at the agitators that are
in the employ of Jos. Fels and are
being paid for their work. When
you hear an attorney get up in
court and work with all the power
and tact that he can command, to
try to liberate one of tho most
criminals that ever
phlet and be ready to vote intelli- was brought into court, you
needled cactus
shoulders.
As our rig approached, they
dumped their loads of torture by
the road and disappeared in the
brush, and I got out of the rig and
turned over these blood-smeared
crosses, as proof that I was not
dreaming. A deputy sheriff was had started to cross, bul, I scared
with me then and all three of us them back. But half way across

I suppose he thinks he is all kinds

And not so many ywars ago il
look tho standing army to stop

ity. And these men are American
citizens, voters and jurors. HOW
WOULD you like
of them try you?
We drove into the village about
noon, and found there was some
church doings on and everybody
on the job. I did not learn whether
it was a meeting to raise money
to send to (lie heal hens in China
or Africa, or to raise money for
a pipe organ.
After the serv ices the people
flocked into the store, saloons
and the street. Every little clus
ter of 'dobies has its saloon. We
watched the men go from the
altar to the bar, and line up. A
few drank, the others sitting
around, and it made me think of
New York. Bar flies breed any
where. These saloons sell the cheap
est brands of poison whiskey,
light beer, from Mexico, ami Hie
native mescal. This stuff, made
from the maguey plant (a variety
of century plant 1 is had stuff to
take on, unless there is plenty of
fighting material around. (But
understand this is heresay evi
dence.) What seemed just u little
violation of the fitness of things
were the pictures of Christ and
tho crucifixion nlid crosses gal
ore everywhere in (he saloons.
We went to the store. II carried
just the cheapest of flimsy stuff,
and pictures enough of Christ lo
glut an American market. The
i ross was everywhere, and cheap,
flashy-colored prints of the cruc
ifixion were far greater in stock
than groceries. These people
raise pivtly much what llo-y con
sume, and the store only carried
the sharp hoots soon made nie

between the logs and toughed it
out, and wailed for 300 goals to
walk over the log and nie and
listen to tho laughter of the driv
er and i ne neruer. u was some
fun to the spectators, I didn t ex-
o have a jury act ly enjoy il.
I will use a couple columns
more next week io leu you more
about the strange seel, and about
the crucifixion ground and the
cross, which I saw that tree on
which many human lives have
been sacrificed lo the most won
derful fanaticism in the world.

is for (he board of equalization to
