County Judge Ryan, congrexsioiia! committeeinaii for Clackamas county, will soon call a meeting of the leading KenublicHi'sof this cuunty, when a iro gram will be formulated for conducting an active csnvaes of the county during the concluding three weeks of tlie cam paign in the interest of Mr. Hermann's candidacy. Several local stealers win par'icipste in the canvass of the county, which will be thorough. Judge Kyan has been invited by District Chairman Harris to visit Washington county and make a number of addresses before the time of election. The Judge will nuke several engagements in the West Side county, but hie official duties will pre vent him from making as extended a canvass as he would like to do. The date of Mr. Hermann's visit to this county has not yet been determined, but it is known that the Republican nominee expects to make thiee addresses in Clackamas county before tb,cam paign closes CLAIMS IIE HIS FOUND METEOR. George Ziugcrllng, or Bedlan.l, Lo cates Alleged Aerial Visitor. George Zinserling, a German farmer, who resides near Kedland, about eight miles east of this city, declares that he has located the meteor that attracted so much attention one night last week. In fact, he is so confident of his discovery, that lie is willing to take an oath that he has located and has in his possession the strange aerial visitor. Mr. Zinserling is one of the many res idents of Clackamas county who wit nessed the flight of the meteor on the night ol its appearance, lie followed the course of the phenomenon in the skies and alleges that he saw the thing fall into a field on his farm. He at once instituted a search for the deposit and finally succeeded in locating the sup posed meteor, half bidden in the eartn, in one of his fields. He removed his dis covery from the earth and brought it to this city, where it is cn exhibtion in Knapp's saloon. The alleged meteor is oblong in shape, of cinder-like composi tion, dark brown in color, snd weighs about thirty pounds. Hundreds of peo ple examined the curious missle during the week. Smith's Dandruff Pomade stops itching scalp opon one application, three to six removes all dandruff snd will stop falling hair. Price 50 cents at druggists. M0KETIME NEEDED Fault Found With ThernM-nt Tax Law. Cciinfy Irensurer t'atiill Tlilnls Tbut The R.bate Hii'em fihould Be Abolished. The present law for the sssesment and taxation of property ami for the col lection of taxes is not givmg satlfai-lIon in this county. Kheriir Shaver has Just about caught up wuh the work of receipt ing for tsXes ami turning the money over to the county Ireamrer. It is urged against the bw now in force that suffi cient time is riot given for the payment of taxes lo the conriiy. This objection is nut remedied either in Mie 'sw as amend ed at the last session of the stale levels. Hire which, if anvthing, it is claimed, lias made the task of colieclii g tax-s even more complicated thn at the pres ent lime. Another objection nir-red against 1 he prei-ent iaw in the plan of re bate. In dicusirig the sul jcl IliM week, County Treasurer t'ahiil pointed out a nillll'M-rol wlial He considers uciwm n the present Uw. He insists that i he re lmi nlan is not a itood cue, at d in its operation proves only an advantage to Ihe rich man whom, lie eavs, can pay bis taxes at anytime he desires, while it rustles the poor fellow to scrape to gether enough money to py even one ball of his assessments at a time and thus escstw paving penalty and interest charges. With Ihe operatioe ol the ib- bate B)stein Mr. ltull ssya newts Clackamas county considerable for the extra clerical help that is required in th .sheriffs office to receipt for the money within the short space ol time mat the same can be paid and give taxpayers the advantsge of the discount. In fact. Sheriff Shaver has leen able only, with the sitance of number "of deputies, to complete the recording of tax pay ments and the checking over of the re ceipts at this time. By abolishing the rebate Mr. Cahil thinks at least l.'JOOO can be saved 10 the county each year. The treasurer thinks it is not to the ad vantage of the county to have tax money paid in so short a space of time. In the brief time that the rebate is allowed more than fifty per cent of the taxes are paid. Io the confusion that attends ilieir payment and the extra amount of book keel ing required in the office ol the sheriff, who has only a limited force at the time, Mr. Cahill says it is some time helore the money so paid is really available for the cancellation of out standing warrants, so that while the county is allowing a rebate for the pay ment of Ihe tax, It is still compelled 10 pav interest on Its warrants until the money can he turned intoTbe treasury and applied in the payment of such war rants. Io this repect he claims that the present system is a dixadvantage rather than an advantage to the county. Mr. Cahill is of the opinion that the law for the assessment of property and the collection of taxes in the state of Iowa is the most satisfactory plan that he knows of. In that state taxes become due in ihe fall of the year, O -lober 1. Taxpayers have until May 1 following in which to pay their taxes without sedi tion 1 cot. ' On Mav 1 a pena'tv of 1 er cent is tilded, together with 10 per cent interest. With each succeeding month an additional per cent of penalty is add ed. hut Ihe interent ctmre remains fixed All property upon which the tax and' accrued cwts are not paid, is sold for delinquent taxes on the first of Oc'olier following, or one year after the tax be comes due. Mr. Cahill thinks euch a law as the one outlined would piove mnch.ioie satislaciory In its operation than the one that' is now in force in this state. AMONG SCHOOLS OF THE COUNTY Date of Eighth tirade Examination lliai'ged. Educational Notes. County Superintendent Zinser an nounces that owing to President Roose velt's visit in Oregon City on May 20, the eighth grade examinations in this county will beitn on Tuesday, the day bofore, and will be concluded on Thurs day and Friday following, the dates be ing May 19. 21 and 22. There will be a class of about seventy-five to lake the examination. Superintendent Zinser desires to re quest the teachers of the county that they do not fail to send in information regarding the county school exhibit that is to be beld in this ciiy June 4, 6 and 8. He desires to be informed in this partic ular that he may know the amount of space that will be required for the ex hibit and can make arrangements accord ingly. Miss Withey, of the Holcomb school, reports that her pnpils gave a social re cently from which they netted $35 for iibraiy purposes. The Damascus school, taught by Miss Boring, reports the addition to the school library of several fine volumes. The library now consists of 65 volumes sod of that number 47 are well bound. An agreement has been reached by the Concord and Milwaukee districts for the consolidation ol those districts. The matter will be submitted for final action at the annual school meeting in June.

It's shameful when youth fails to show proper respect for old age, but just the contrary in the case of Dr. King's New Life Pills. They cut off maladies, no matter how severe and irrespective of old age. Dyspsia, jaundice, fever, constipation all yield to this perfect pill. 25c at Geo. A. Harding's drug store.

In tuirgestii g such a plan he cited w list is being done along thia line In Marion county, hut was not informed of Hie true condition of the roads of Clackamas conn' v. "You have an awful nerve to snjrest such a plan for this cuntv," said County Ju.lge Ksn one dy I is week. ' Clack luas county pern le have more practi cal plan lor accomplis- in'g some definite results in suh-r uilial road build ing than to lie coiitinuilly lalk.ni' the sill j i:-itnd i'g;t log the matter ol or ganizing food roada leagues Instead of laiking nd expending so mo b hot air along 'hia line, as do some other val ley towns, our people d g down in their pockets and make liia-ral carh siwtiit lions and contribute labor to the build ing of improved roadways, and 11 hav something to show for it, too. Th county now has 134 miles of finely im proved roads. In making this statement I mean either macadamized roads or highways constructed of gravel, cruhed rock or planking. Our county has been working its roads on a cash oasis for the .last fourteen years, and during the month of February last expended mo e money on the roads of the county than many other counties of the state spend in year. 'Our road tax amounts to levy of about 9 mills annually, in addi tion to individual subscriptions. I think the coumy spends fully 15 mills each year on its roads, and has averaged that amount for the last eight years. The amount to be expended on the roads th s year will not eoial that sum, for the county Is making sn effort to reduce its indehteilnes and a saving is being made wherever poeaible. While the work i!l not be so extensively carried on during the coming snmmer, still we have a con siderable mileage of g'Xi roa Is to show loi the money we have expended in thai direction. Talk and the organizing of good road lesgnes rosy do ail rWhi for some localities, but we have found tout the voting o a good substantial road tax, coupled with liberal individual subscrip tions and hard work, ia the most practi cal way of producing direct and sanan tial results. " Judge Rysn reports that Ihe Vio'a road to this ciiy will be completed Inn summer. Last vear one-half, or six miles, of the road was built, partly of gravel, crushed rock and planking, an I the balance of the road w ill be const r'lci ed of the same materials. There has been subscribed in cash and labor over :I600 to flnii-h the road, and woikw ill he reUiued this month. The road in now being sutveyed for establishing the grades. THE! I'LU'EIf BtSERALL An Interesting Record Bnok lilsrov-ered-at the Court House. While rumaging abont the old records in the court house one day hie week, there was found an old record book in which are recorded the minutes of the meetings and the official- scores of the many games in which the Clackamas County Baseball nine participated in 1877. One of the most important entries in the book, which shows signs of havimK been used a great deal, waa the score o the game played ia this city on July 4, 1877 between the Clackamas county team and the Pioneer Baseball nine, ol Portland. The contest resulted in a victory for the team of this city, the score being 20 to 9. Fred W. Bier um pired the game. Members of the Port land team were: Parsnne. Drnmmonds, Holcomb, Giltner, W. F. Matthews, Gains, Graden, Oliver and Caiiens. Those forming the Clacksmas county nine, were: W. E. Pratt, Ed Carter, II. K. Cross, Pete Hatch, Susap, Thornton Williams, Mentor Randall. James Polan and Charles Babcock. Every member of the team from this city who played ia the game is still living.
