Under the new law for the collection of taxes, this was the last day upon which taxpayers' could escape penalty and interest charges. The Marlon County tax-roll for 1901 represented about 5220,000. Of that amount Sheriff Durbln has collected about $160,000, leaving a de linquent list of 560.000. Of the $160,000 col lected, probably $100,000 was received pre vious to March 16. The taxpayers re ceived a rebate of 3 per ceqt of their re spective amounts. By the provisions of the law, persons paying one-half of the total amount of taxes charged against them before todav are allowed until the first Monday in October to pay the bal ance before penalty and interest are add ed. Many persons have availed them selves of this chance. Taxes upon which no payment or less than 50 per cent has been made are delinquent after today, and will be liable for a penalty of 10 per cent and an interest charge at the rate of 12 per cent per annum from the first Monday in April until date of full payment. The operation of the new law will make the purchase of property sold for delin quent taxes less profitable than formerly, but as an investment In the loaning of money until the property shall have been redeemed, the aggregate of the loans will be larger and the returns In proportion.

Her hair, which Is coal black and very luxury ant, was loose, and hung down her back below her waist. She Is a lady of extra ordinary attainments as a linguist, speak ing five languages fluently. She lived in India for 16 years, where she became a student of the Buddhist school. Madame Olivia says her mission Is not to tear down, but to build dp. She does not be lieve In the divinity of Christ, who, lke Buddha, she declares, attained to that de gree of perfection which enabled irm to live a perfect life. Her religion has nothing to do with di vinity, save that in order to live happily and enjoy all the blessings of life we must obey the laws of God. She does not believe In the forgiveness of sin. She in sists that disobedience of the laws of God means punishment, and as God's laws are unchangeable, there Is no escaping the penalty of disobedience. Thus if we eat too much we aro sick; the sickness being the punishment for our disobedience. We can enjoy all of life's blessings If we fol low the teachings of Buddha.

BLACKMAN HAS A PUN LABOR COMMISSIONER "WOULD END SEATTLE STRIKE. Suggests Arbitration Boards as Means to Bring Capital and Labor Together. OLYMPIA, April 7. The strike among the building trades at Seattle is of inter est in other cities, and the failure to settle the labor troubles that have been existing for a year past is much re gretted. Seattle has two central labor bodies and herein appears to lie the trouble, to a large extent. The Central Labor Union is composed of representa tives from about 40 labor unions, and this" organization seems to have the confidence of the public and employers generally. The Building Trades Council Is composed' or. xz suoorainaie unions, ana just at present the Employers' Association is fighting it. Several of the unions In the Building Trades Council are on a strike and the Employers' Association will not treat with the Trades Council, under any cir cumstances.

August Scheraeckau, Republican nominee for Representa tive from Clatsop County, Is one of Astoria's most prominent German-American citizens. Ha was born at Rensburt, Germany, in 1837, and came to this coun try when 20 years of age, locating1 in Iowa. Later, he moved to Nebraska, where he enlisted In the First Nebraska Volunteer Infantry, serving through the Civil War, and later in the wars with the Indians In the state which he had chosen for his home. In 1800 he came to Oregon and eettld' In Wasco County, where he became prominently Identified with themmerclal development of that portion of the state, establishing the town of Shanlko, which was named after him. Mr. Scherneckau moved to Astoria 13 years aro, and while not actively engaged In business, he has been associated with other citizens In the establishment of several local industries, and takes a keen Interest In every public enterprise. Though not a politician, Mr. Scherneckau has' always been a Republican. Ho served the public two terms as a member of the City Council, where ho gained a well-deserved reputation for honesty and integrity, belns elected the second tlma without opposition. Clark W. Camahan, also a Republican candidate for State Representative, is a native son, having been born on Clatsop Plains 45 years ago. In 1800, fie was elected County Assessor, and has served In that position during three success slve terms, being elected by 'increased majorities at each succeeding election.

Commissioner Blackman has given out a statement relative to arbi trating labor troubles, that naa received much favorable comment in this state and may result in his suggestions being adopted Jn Seattle, in the hope of ending a, situation that Is resulting in endless trouble to the people of that city. Mr. Blackman's statement is as follows: Plackman's Plan. I am convinced that arbitration is the only fair way of settling differences that arise be tween laborers and employers. My experience for tho past five years with the State Labor Bureau proves conclusively to me that arbitra tion can nettle such differences. I am In favor of tho state's authorizing some one. says the Labor Commissioner, to go In person to the scene of the trouble, and ask each party to Lthe controversy to appoint one man each, then to have these two men appoint a third, and to have this bo the board of arbitration for that particular case. The state, through its Labor Commissioner, would actas secretary for this board, just to keep a record of Its find ings, and when the board finished its work it would adjourn sine die. In the case of another disturbance, the Commissioner would proceed in the same manner to appoint another board. I am not in favor of tho state or any mu nicipality having a standing board to settle labor troubles. Let mo cite you a case. Being Invited by some miners to help them out of their diffi culty, ihad the striking miners appoint a com mittee to wait upon the manager, with power to act. This committee, together with the man ager of the company and myself, got the scale of wages paid at other mines for like work, and In two days time we prepared a schedule that the manager accepted. When presented to the miners in mag meeting it was adopted, the strike was declared off. and the men went back to work. Laborers and their employers should come to gether as business men and do business in -a business way. I tun heartily In favor tf the kind of arbitration I have outlined, and. I be lieve that 80 per cent of laborers aro willing at all times to meet their employers and adjust their grievances In a fair and Impartial man ner. Truck Drivers Strike. TACOMA, April 7.
