TO ASSESS STATE LAND.
Marlon County Accessor so Declares
III Purpose The Larv of It.
SALEM, April 11. County Assessor J.
W. Hobart, of Marlon County, cays that
he will this year include In his assess
ment roll all property In this county
owned by tho State Land Board and ac
quired by the board through tho fore
closure of mortgages or by deeds. It has
been tho custom up to this time not to
asse property of this kind for tho reason
that it Is considered exempt under tho
laws regarding taxation. The statute gov
erning the subject Is found In chapter 17
of Hill's. Code. Section 2729 reads:
"All taxes for the support of the gov
ernment of this state shall be assessed on
property in equal and ratable proportion,
and all property, real and personal, within
this state, not expressly exempted there
from, shall be subject to taxation in the
manner provided by law."
Section 273! provides what property shall
be exempt The first two. classes are:
"h All property, real and personal, of
the United States and of this state.
"2. All public or corporate property of
the several counties, cities, villages, towns
and school districts In this state, used or
Intended for corporate purposes."
Mr, Hobart is of the opinion that while
lands owned by the state and occupied by
the state Institutions are properly omit
ted from the assessment roll, it Is not
proper that the best farm lands of the
county should be exempt because owned
by the State Land Board. The land that
Mr. Hobart proposes to assess Is such as
the board acquires through having made
a loan, taking a mortgag-e as security and
subsequently being compelled to take the
land through default In the repayment
of the money. Of late years, the board
has become the owner of many valuable
farms and eome good city property In this
manner. The land now owned by the
' board in this county and acquired through
loans has cost the board in the aggregate
m033.
State Treasurer Moore today received a
remittance of JHSo to apply on the 1E97

"Resolved, by the Democratic County
Convention of Clatsop County. That ex
travagance In the management of county
affairs, as now administered, demonstrates
tho necessity of electing business men to
office, who win reduce expenses in every
branch of county government: and that
to bring about such reduction no man
should be nominated for a county office
by this convention or a cltlxens conven
tion who will not pledge himself In writ
ing to administer the office for which he
may be nominated, if elected thereto at
a reduction of at least 20 per cent upon
.tho expense of the administration Of the
same office, during the last two years.
"That the agricultural Interests of the
county should receive just recognition, and
we (therefore fayor.the construction of
adequate county'roads to allow farmers
to bring their products to market in a
suitable manner and without unnecessary
Inconvenience
"The fishing industries of the state re
quire uniform legislation, not legislation
in the Interest of the combine or other
canners, but for all purposes connected
with the Industry alike. Accordingly, we
believe tout the SI individual license on
nsnermen should be repealed, as tax on,
manual labor, and not on property, and aa
accordingly unjust and oppressive."

RESfARKABLE LAKE COUNTY IIOR5C WHICH STILL ACTS LIKE A COLT.
LAKEVTtw, Or.. April 10 C V. Snider, a Lakevlew merchant. la the cwner of tba oldest horse tn the county, possibly the oldest In
the state, and the horse. Is doubtless the best-preserved hone In the United States for his age. He was foaled In Jackson or Douglas
county In April, 1SCS. and la nearly 33 year old. Mr, Snider ears he U just as young now In life and spirit; as he ever wax. Mr.
Snider has owned him for 28 yean, and he has lived In Lake County for that length of time. Every man. woman and child In Laie
County knows "General Crook,' for that Is hl name, and he Is known In all the towns tart of here and frcea The Dalles to Redding, la
California, and Reno, Nev. He Is called "General" tor short.
He la today the family horse of the Snlders. They drive him and ride him. and he Is the fastest driver In lakevlew. No one ever drives
by Mr. Snider on the road when he drives old "General." "ltnd he always drites him.
"General Crook" was sired by the famous original "Lion Heart." and hl dam waa of the famous Missouri Mprgan stock. These wers
both long-lived stock, and the "Lion Heart" stock of Oregon, originally imported here from Canada, are the longeot-llved horsei of the
country. "General Crook's" aire was the greatest horse and greatest trotter ever brought to this part of the state, and made a record as
euea. The General himself made his mile In three minutes, and was never trained nor had any pretensions as a trotter. He Is a light
oral. 16 hands high, and weighs 1100 pounds. Mr. Snider has had the General's teeth cut off three times, and they will soon have to be
trimmed again. He has never had a whip or switch used on him In his life, and one has never been needed. He makes eight roues an hour
with a bugsr. and two men and Mr. Snider baa a standing offer of $1000 for years that "General Crook'' could make his 100 miles In TO
hours, but no one would ever cover it.
"General Crook" has frequently been driven 75 miles a day without Injury, and only a year or two ago was driven a distance cf -100
miles, and would not permit any of the horses on the road to lead him. He has never been sick or crippled In hU life, and Mr Snider
says that "General Crock" baa always been ready at all times for service, and Is a true and faithful as was hl namesake
This horse has unusual Intelligence. He wlU not go into a dangerous place. He li perfectly gentle. He lets his wants he known by no
tifying the family when be it hungry, or letting them know of his return from browsing when he wishes to be turned into tnet. He still
possesses a grudge against the Indians. Long before one makes hto approach near the Enlder home "General Crook?' will raise hit head
and prick up hit ears, and an Indian never falls to show up shortly afterwards. '
Mr. Snider waa the first merchant In this county. The family la comfortably situated, but no member of It to more carefully looked
after than old "General." There are grandmothers here who had their first buggy ride beh,lad "General." and many elderly ladlea sot
that If "General" could talk he could command aU kinds of prices, as bribes, to hold his tongue, for there la scarcely a couple of dld-tlmeri
tn the county that have not ridden behind old "General" In their love-making days.
Mr. Snider brought "General" out to have his picture taken for The Oregonlan. and the horse was so high-spirited that be had to ho'd
him. and when the picture had been taken "General" was released, and kicked nn ttU heU . . ... .. . . ...

Dr. Korn was here In January, making
a careful study of the soil, climate and
other conditions, and spent about two
weeks here In making his. Investigations.
He also studied other localities In Oregon
on the sqmo mission. As a result ot this
investigation he has selected Eugene as,
a favorable location for a largo factory.
He therefore makes a business proposition
to tho citizens for their co-operation.
The proposition he makes contemplates
the construction of a factory to cost $700,
000, -which would do a business amounting
to about fCOO.000 annually. Of this amount
00.000 is estimated to go to the farmers
who ralso the beets, and 100,0u0 would
be expended for labor about tho factory.
Dr. Kom asks as a subsidy and guaranty
for his enterprise that contracts be made
for WOO acres of land to be devoted tq
the growing of beets: also that a building
site for the factory be furnished tho com
pany .free of charge; also a bonus to the
amount ot 1100.000.
The people will make an attempt to raise
the necessary subsidy, and secure the fac.
tory. And if they make a determined ef
fort It Is believed they will be able to do
their part.

are grieved over the confession ot the
murder on the part ot Jim Hansen, one
of the Chllkats, and the exploitation of
the whole crime and mystery, and that
they have gone so far as to talk of taking
the confessor from the Jail.
Hanson recently joined the Salvation
Army here, and It was his conscientious
scruples after getting religion that prompt
ed him to confess. There has been In the
town of Chllkat the last few days the
unusual spectacle ot 300 Indians marching
In Salvation Army bands. They got In

GOLD OF THE KOYOKUK.
$100 to the Pan Plenty of Ground,
and Hundreds Are Golnsj.
SKAGWAY, April 15. The news has
been brought up the Yukon by WT a'
Daweon that reports of strikes of almost
Incredible wealth in gold have been made
along the Koyokuk. and that camps along
the Yukon have been greatly excited,
and half of them are deserted by the men
going on stampedes to the new districts.
Jack Bourne arrived at Dawson from Cir
cle City by dog team, bringing the report.
Mr. Bourne says tho wildest stories are in
circulation as to the extent of the pay.
One report has It that J100 to the pan Is a
common thing, and he waa assured by a
reliable and conservative man that the
dlggtngs would average ISO a day to the
man. The gold Is bright, pure, and assays
J19 to the ounce.
About 30D miners have stampeded to the
diggings since the newa of the strike
reached the Yukon Valley, and as a fair
result, a good Winter trail was broken.
The best way to reach the Koyokuk dig
gings in the Winter Is by crossing the
divide between Fort Yukon and the head
water streams. But the Upper Yukon
trail Is now breaking and In too poor con
dition for reaching Fort Yukon. It is 150
mllrs from Fort Yukon over the divide to
the diggings and E00 miles up the Koyo
kuk. Supplies have to be taken in by
dog team.
The pay Is not found on the river proper,
but on four tributary gulches debouching
on the left limit. These gulches head in a
low. rounded range of hills to the south
of the Koyokuk. and are known to pes
sea a pay streak to be more than 30 feet
wide and three to aeven feet thick. Bed
rock Is only 12 feet deep, and consists ot
a shattered slate. In which Is found the
best pay.
The best two gulches are known as Mc
Klnley and Bryan. There are 50 miners
on each gulch. Only a small portion ot
each creek has been staked, as It was de
cided at a miners' meeting to prohibit
staking by power ot attorney. The size
of claims is limited to 500 feet long and
from rim to rim. It Is estimated there
are claims for 6000 miners, and there are
leea than SO In the district. The stam
pedera who left Circle City expect to do
well.
The original find in the district was on
Myrtle Creek last year, and It did not
prove big. Discouraged miners on the
