The committee has assurance or other
amounts that will swell the grand total
to about $1450, which It is considered,
will be ample for the offering of satis
factory purses for the hose races and
providing three days of thorough enter
tainment. Though he has not given a formal
opinion upon the subject, Attorney-General
Crawford says that he believes the
present exemption law places a limit of
$300 upon the total value of property to
be exempt from taxation, says a Salem
dispatch. He believes that the last
clause of the exemption section can be
construed to establish such a limit, and
that being true the punctuation of the
earlier part of the section should be dis- '
regarded. Unless further investigation
oi tne suDjeci leaas to a mirerent con
clusion he will advise any County As-
lessors who inquire that they should
allow no householder more than $300
exemption.

DETAILS BEING ARRANGED.
Lewis & Clark Fair Committee Actively
at Work.
Details of the exhibit that is to be
made by Clackamas County at the Lewis
& Clark Fair are being gradually worked
out, several important matters receiv
ing attention at a Joint meeting of the
executive and general committees held
at the Court House Tuesday.
Upon motion, it was ordered that the
various special committees report at the
next meeting of the eexcutive committee
two weeks hence, as to the character of
the exhibit planned from the different
departments, the amount of space that
will be required, and the amount of funds
each committee desires to carry on its
labors.
Each precinct committeeman was im
pressed with the need of holding early
and frequent meetings with the people
of his locality, with a view to interesting
the residents of the county in the ex
hibit and encouraging the making of sub
scriptions to the fund, all of which is to
be reported at the next meeting.
The committees in charge are planning
for the issuance of a creditable pamph
let descriptive of the county and its re
sources, to be distributed at the Lewis &
Clark Fair, and also utilized for Eastern
distribution. It is the Intention of the
committee to make a liberal appropria
tion for this feature. The , pamphlet
will be thorough in detailing the wonder
ful resources and great advantages of
the county. It will not be issued until
the committee is well satisfied with the
pamphlet and its contents.
It has been years since anything of the
kind has been distributed in the interesj
or Clackamas County, and It may be
expected that the work of the committee
in this respect will be a useful and valu
able souvenir.

splendid success from a social as well
as a financial standpoint thabit proved.

tuted pure lemonade for punch. The

"Kid" Yanger's Bride.
"Kid" Yanger, whose lack of beauty
wins him in pugilistic circles the title
of "The Dog," thus explains why pretty
Lizzie Winters consented to become his
bride:
"It ain't looks that can win a girl. It's
what a guy can do, what he can make
good at, that gets 'em."
This is true Darwininian philosophy.
Fittest to survive is fittest to wive. The
most wicked or most cunning fighter
among cave men got the pick of the cave
girls.- The young Indian won in war or
in chase the right to matrimony. Strength
and courage and skill, not beauty, make
in all ages an "eligible parti."
So today the novel hero who Is "hand
some as a Greek god'.' Is out of it. Pic
turesque ugliness is considered piquant,
but there must be courage or strength
or inner worth fit for a world struggle.
Burly foot-ball player, keen lawyer, bril
liant writer or what not let "Algy" or
"Monty" be capable of bringing plenty
of meat to his cave and he may be as
ugly as you please.
And herein the novelist, Uke the phil
osopher of the Yanger school. ' mimics,
fact. "It's what a guy can make good ai
that gets 'em."
