Al Mr. New had only $M..V he came back home carrying that amount with him. Then, he understating that the order for sale had been postponed until July 14th, came to me on July 8th or IMh to get me to write to the present sheritf to see what would be his taxes at thut time, thinking that there might be more cost added. What was his surprise on receiving a letter on the very day his place was soid, stating that his taxes, including costs and all is $11. 40, but of course after sale it will be more, and signed K. C. Maddock by his deputy. Now you see, Mr. New, who is a poor man could have paid all at first if things had been properly stated. As it is his place was sold and the people would like to know where the f5.40 would have gone to? Casskht. PICNIC AT MT. SCOTT. Lekts, Oregon, Aug. 4th. To the Editor: On the 3d lust, we had a grand Sunday school picnic on Mt. Scott beld by the Mt. Scott German Sunday school and Portland (east side) German Emanuel church.

The late grain bas quite as many f those "sap-suckers" as the tall grain had, if not more. Their enemy has not been altogether equal to the emergency.

' Wild deer are again making themselves quite conspicuous in this neighborhood. Last Saturday one came almost into John Perdue's door yard. Now that the game law is not in efTect, and some of the Perdue boys are noted as deer slayers, the deer had better not repeat their visits too often, or some one will get a taste of venison once more.
