The Enterprise is glad to see that the Assessors of Western Oregon have decided to increase the assessment on railroads and have agreed on a unl form assessable valuation of $19,000 per mile. For years in Clackamas county as well as in other counties of the state, corporations, and espec ially railroads, have not been assessed at anything like the value of their properiies or anywhere near the pro portion at which the farmer is tax ed. The rate of taxation that has been decided upon by the Assessors for rail road property cannot be considered ex cessive. It at least places the as sessable value of this property a little nearer what it should be In justice to the farmer who has for years paid taxes on an assessment more nearly equalling the actual value of his prop erty. o REPUBLICANS THEMSELVES RE SPONSIBLE. Several papers throughout the state have been venturing explanations as to what brought about the defeat of Dr. James Withycombe, for Governor. But there Is no getting out of the fact that the Republicans, themselves, are responsible. One paper even goes so far as to claim that since the Socialist nominee for Governor ran behind his ticket, that the members of that party are largely responsible for Chamber lain's election. But this is all non sense. With majorities ranging from 21,000 to 29,000 for other candidates on the Republican state ticket, the election of a single Democrat to a state office must necessarily have been done by Republicans. And that Is all there is to it o Ten good dairy cows and a little ranch will discount any county office. Toledo Reporter. o WILL BE PLENTY OF DOUGH. Miller is evidently a popular name with Linn county voters. In the re cent election there were three Millers on the county ticket two Republicans and one Democrat, and all were elect ed. No doubt had Mart Miller defeat ed H. R. Powell for the nomination for commissioner, he too. would have been elected. Probably no county in Oregon was ever before represented In the Legislature by two men of the same name. Linn sends two Millers to the state senate. Brownsville Times. NOT "ACCORDING TO PROGRAM." The Oregon Legislature in session without Geo. C. Brownell a member will be unique and certainly not "ac cording to program" at leasts not ac cording to Geo. C.'s program. Brow nell has served continuously in the Legislature since 1894. His defeat for re-election was one of the surprises of the recent election. Brownsville Times. VOTE FOR "US" BUT KEEP OF POLITICS, i OUT The Portland Journal advises the saloon men to keep out of politics. Let's see. Is it not a fact that in the recent election the saloon men as a unit supported Chamberlain for Gov ernor? Without the vote of these peo ple, Chamberlain would have been defeated. -o- BEAUTIFY THE CITY. pertinents have been made testing this I lamp with the improved pattern kero-1 sene lamps with round wicks and of equal candlepower; it was found that a gallon of alcohol would keep the al cohol lamp burning twice as many ; hours as would a galln of kerosene burning In the most approved pattern i of kerosene lamp which Is in general use. In other' words, 1 gallon of alco hol is equal to two gallons of kerosene for lighting purposes Hence It fol lows If the price 'of alcohol methylat ed is less than double the price of ker osene, its use, especially on the farms and In the villages of the country, would become enormous. During the last few months experi ments have been made in adapting gasoline power engines to the use of alcohol. This has been successfully done in Germany for several years, though there they generally mix 25 per cent of gasoline with the alcohol to obtain a more ready ignition of the fluid, which Is forced luto the cylinder engine In the form of vapor. Experi ments in this country have developed the fact that alcohol can be used Just as readily as this mixture with gaso line or the gasoline itself, and the op eration of the engine with its use is perfect. The use of small motor en gines running with gasoline has be come very large. In the estimate be fore the committee, it would appear that 300.000 of these ngines are now in use and that the annual output is more than a hundred thousand. These engines are especially adapt ed to farm use for pumping water, cutting feed, filling silos, threshing grain, and the multiplied uses to which a stationery power in a farm Is adapt ed. The principal objection to gas oline, aside from its cost. Is the danger to the farm buildings from fire. A gasoline fire cannot be quenched with water. . On the othert hand, water seems to scatter the gasoline and In creases the danger. Hut an alcohol fire is easily put out by the use of water. Large numbers .of these mo tors are also used in automobiles, the number of which is increasing with wonderful rapidity, and for motors in small boats. Exchange. o STUDY AND HEALTH IN SCHOOL. Now that the City Council has se cured a garbage dumping ground, the people of Oregon City should do some effective municipal house-cleaning. The old excuse, "there's no place to deposit the rubbish," is now lacking. There is no valid reason for longer deferring this much-needed work. Let the civic pride of Oregon City people assert itself in a truly active sense, and even the most hopeful citizen will be surprised at the results that will be accomplished. Oregon City is one of the most picturesque cities on the coast, besides being a place of unu sual historic interest. Its natural beauty is seriously marred by un sightly heaps of tin cans and miscel laneous rubbish that have been allow ed to accumulate Id so many streets. Including many prominent thorough fares. Co-operation of the people in this direction will accomplish wonders, and the sentiment favoring municipal cleaning up is such as to require only that some club or society take the ini tiative and business men and citizens generally will follow suit. O TAX-FREE DENATURED ALCOHOL. The question of school hygiene, and especially of overwork on the part of the pupils, has received considerable attention of late. Dr. G. Woodruff Johnston makes a valuable contribu tion in the current North American Review. He deals with the effect of school life and present methods of study on the health of the pupils, and while the American data on the subject are few and superficial, as far as they go they support conclusions reached in Europe by systematic inquirers. When ever and wherever such an Investi gation has been attempted, a surpris ing amount of ill health among school children has been reported. More over, "though varying in degree, from slight functional disturbances to ac tual illness, the same morbid condi tions were found" in every place and every time. There are many "school diseases," the most typical of them, perhaps, be ing headache. This disease may be due to anaemia, eye strain, bad ven tilation, nerve exhaustion, fatigue and other causes. From 40 to 50 per cent of all school children suffer from it, and it is habitual, girls, however, being affected more than bovs. The num. ber of scholars suffering from habit ual headaches increases steo by sten and grade by grade with advancement through school, and significantly enougn, me neaaacnes grow more fre quent and severe as the term pro gresses, disappear in the holidays and reappear with the next term. Among other school diseases are sleeplessness, palpitation, Irritability, mental weariness, twitching and in stability In posture and balance. The diseases affecting the nervous sys tem according to Dr. Johnston, are of greatest interest to Americans, for "we know that our heredity, ideas, climate, environment and habits of life predispose to such affections." Now, much can be done to prevent disease among school children by at tending to light and ventilation, the shape and height of desks and the like, and food is also an Important factor. It appears, however, that "fa tigue is the determining cause of many diseases and aggravates most or all of them." Fatigue, then, is the evil to attack. Overwork must be avoid ed in all grades, and recreation and exercise encouraged. The article con cludes with these words: "The remedy iies not in the almost professional athleticism which is now the vogue, for in this it is evident we are merely substi tuting one form of fatigue for another no less injurious, but rather in a com pleter apprehension of the school child as a young animal at work and play, and a rational adaption of work and play to his capacities and needs. "This is exactly what leading edu cators have been saying of late, and the problem is worthy of the most careful consideration." Chicago Rec ord-Herald. The present Congress is entitled to the thanks of the people for enacting a law placing denatured alcohol upon the free list. This substance is man ufactured largely in Germany and its introduction here free of tax will be a great boon to the farmers of this country as well as to many small manufacturers. The report of the committee on ways and means gives the following facts relative to this useful substance: The bulk of free denatused alcohol In Germany Is used for the purpose of light, fuel and heat.

When the pending agricultural bill becomes law. if as at nresent framoil all proceeds of forest reserves, wheth er for sale of timber or grazing privi leges, win be divided with counties in which the reserves an nltunr1 Tho percentage agreed upon is 10, which win prooaoiy De nnally adopted, this being of gross receipts. The effect in Oreenn will h ma. terial, where approximately 12,000,000 acres of land has been withdrawn for forest reserves. Sales of timber are limited yet. but will no doubt grow rapidly as the supply diminishes and prices raise. Oregon's counting hiv. ing the heaviest timber in reserves will probably reap a considerable an annual revenue from this Rf i iron Grazing fees will be realized from the nrst year mat the new provision goes into effect. The minimum and max imum figures are not available, but the average number of sheep that will be liermuieu on reserves will probably Le at the rate of one for arh 9 k acres, while cattle will be allotted at the rate of one beast for each flv rr six acres. The Government's flmirea : for summer grazing of sheep are Ave' to eignt cents, and la to 35 for cattle. If sheep may be taken as a IiakU nt estimate, at six cents a head, and 2.5 acres to one sheep, the revenue from 12.000.000 acres would be $288,000 for the grazing nrivilece. It cannot ho laid that nearly 12,000.000 acres will De grazed, so this basic figure is prob ably high. Under the loSier rent nm. vision, the state would get out of this aggregate but IJ28.800, to bo distrib uted among the many counties having rtserve land. l imber revenues will in all nrobah- ility be much lareer. esiieclallv wput of the summit of the Cascades. Such returns will in all probability become more important item of county reve nue In the next decade. In the struggle for such conees- siona as this, the Northwest members of Congress have often fmirwl thom. selves piactically alone. Senator Ful ton nas consistently striven for a larg er percentage of timber and range re ceipts, but found that the Htnurel. hart to be pioneered among apathetic mem bers wnose states had little or no tim ber for the market and less grass. Under the provisions of the pending measure, he hopes that public senti ment will be quickened, until the di vision of receipts is placed on a basis of such share for the Government as actual expenses require, giving the residue to the counties where the re serves are found. Politicians In Washington are mild ly amused over the sudden launch ing of the Bryan-Hearst boom for 1908. Just what the Republican par ty will do when that date comes round is still a little uncertain. But it looks as though the philanthropic fates had fixed up the Democratic party far ahead of time and done the job in good shape. Ex-Senator "Jeems" K. Jones when he called at the White House last "week raised his voice in clarion tones he makes a specialty of clarion tones for Bryan. The Hearst end of the boom had not de veloped at that writing. But the for mer chairman of the Democratic com mittee Issued a general and generous invitation to all of the correspondents present to come and see Bryan Inau gurated. Just at that juncture either the party had overlooked Hearst or they were a little embarassed to know what to do with a worthy and aspir ing young man with a roll big enough to choke a culvert. However, the At least none of the professional ex posers have been able to convince people that there was anything radi cally wrong with the distilleries. o Gen. Meade's declaration that the packing houses were rotten seven I years ago may have been all right. Only he didn't then have the docu ments to prove it. o If Senator Smoot had known that women were going to be the cause of his downfall in the end, he might just as well have been a polygamlst all along and had a few of them to sym- painize witn mm anynow. o If Upton Sinclair got nothing else out of it, he at least has the satisfac tion of knowing that he started all the trouble. -O- The Department of Agriculture has now found out what sort of butter spoils the soonest. They ought to have time to investigate the passe egg before the next theatrical season opens. Mr. Itlchard Cangeld in an Inter view on the art of being a successful gambler, gives the sage advice of let ting the other fellow do the gambling. The gentlemen who are "aein" the I government in the Russian Douma announce themselves as Social Dem ocrats. Over here we would call them Just plain Democrats and not so far wrong either.
