Iiaad'Traaactioa la Years. .
EUGENE, bet '7. (Specials) The most'
Important transaction m lana wat naB
been made in-, this . part of .the state in
many years; unless perhaps exception
znay be made of the. transfer of the hold
ings of the Military "Wagon Road Com
pany, was practically completed here to
day. The sale is made by A. D. Hyland
to the Booth-Kelley Lumber Company,
and has been under negotiation for some
time. Now the deal is closed, except that
a few days time -will bs required to com
plete the details.
The transfer involves between 15,000 and
20,000 acres of as flne timber as can be
found, in the state. It Includes all of the
vast Umber holdings of Mr. Hyland, who
has been known as the "Timber King."
Mr. Jlyland's entire holdings amounted to
abou.t 19,000 acres, but the sale is some
what less than that, as some of it was
open land, and was not Included in the
transaction.
On Inquiry of the parties to the trans
action, regarding the price ana xenns,
"both declined to make these known def
initely, but stated that $250,000 would be
about the purchase price, remaps a ut
tie more, and perhaps a little less.
This is a Dartlcularly Important deal
and a number of parties of capitalists
have heretofore made attempts to secure
the land, without success. A report was
published in The Oregonlan some time
ago that negotiations were pending which
would' nrobablv succeed: but this was
partially denied by Mr. Hyland.
The land sold represents- the accumula
tlon that the "Timber King" has been
ouletly making for years, until he was
the largest individual holder In the coun
ty. It is so situated as to be particularly
advantageous to the Booth-Kelley Com
pany. as it lays between large holdings
of theirs to the -north of the summit of
the Calapoola range, and that to the south
of the summit of the range, between the
Mohawk and Linn County. It lies mostly
In townships 1 east and 1 west, and
ranges 18 and 19 south, and Is all tribu
tary to the Immense new mill now under
construction at Springfield, where it Is the
present intention of the company to bring
the logs for cutting.
This company now owns nearly 60,000
acres of valuable timber land, practically
in a solid 'body in this county, and Is rap
idly increasing its already large sawmill
business. Its timber district Is traversed
by the Mohawk, Camp Creek, McKenzle.
ilidale Fo'rk, North Fork, Big and Little
Fall Creek, wlnbery. Mosby Creek,
Sharp's Creek and other streams, which
make the whole geographically tributary
to their mills in this vicinity. In the pur
chase of today the Booth-Kelley Company
secures the best body of timber of much
extent in the Cascade Mountains In this
county.
AFTER A "WILY CHINESE.
Salt In Oregon City Involving: Pos
session of Hop Crop.
OREGON CITY. Oct. 7. (Special.) A
suit has been 'filed In the Circuit Court
by R. W. Schmcer and C. H. Cham
breau ys. Wong Tong, W. H. and Joseph
Zlvney. Jay Yee, J. B. Fletcher and Bal
four. Guthrie & Co., which Involves the
name of a Chinaman who has passed
under the names of Wong Tong, Sam
Yey, Sam Way and Sam Wye, and the
possession, of a hop crop.
In September, 1901, Tong was the tenant
of a hopyard on the Zlvney place, near
Oswego. The Chinaman rented the yard
from the Zlvneys with the understanding
that he should pay 5175 per year, and that
this amount should be first Hen upon the
hops grown In the yard, and the hops
should not be removed until the rental
was paid. In October, 1901, Tong, under
the name of Sam Way, leased from J.
B. FJetcher the hopyard of L. A. Ship
ley., with the same rental and under
elmllar provisions regarding Its pay
ment. A few weeks before he rented
the Zlvney yard, Tong executed a promis
sory note to Schmeer and Chambreau
for $950. Three days later he executed
another note with one Horn Hee to the
plaintiffs for $720. Only a part of these
notes has been paid.
On February 21, 1902. Tong conspired
with Jay Yu to defraud his creditors by
. transferring to Jay Yu his hop leases.
and .so hindering his creditors in the col
lection of their claims. The hop crop
tor the present season is now harvested
and dried and consists of 20.000 pounds
of the probable value of $4000. Jay Yu
aays he sis the owner of the crop. Balfour,-'Guthrie
& Co. have an Interest In
the crop through advances, made to the
Chinamen, which are covered by a chat
tel mortgage.
Last Thursday the plaintiffs received
judgment in the Circuit Court against
Wong Tong for the amount still due on
the notes..-' They now ask for a decree
which will make Tong? the owner of the
lease and not Yu, and for a len on the
hops to satisfy their Judgment, and also
ifor an injunction restraining the defen-
aants. irom disposing oz tne nop crop.
They ask that the crop may be sold and
the proceeds applied to the payments of
all amounts due from -Tong.
ASKS EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY.
Petition for Release of Leivls Level
. From Peniteri'tlary.
SALEM, Oct. 7. (Special.) Governor
Geer today received a letter Irom District
Attorney George E. Chamberlain, of Mult
H f!mintv. reeommendinc that a
pardon be granted to Lewis Level, whf'
"was; convicted or roDDing a loomquse in
Portland In February, 1902. Level was
sentenced to two years in the peniten
tiary. In his letter to the Governor, Mr.
Chamberlain says that Level entered a
plea of guilty, and under this plea no
testimony was taken. "Since that time
I have learned additional facts touching
the career of Louis Level, from which I
infer that the young man always bore a
good reputation, and entered a plea of
guilty to this charge under advice of a
member of h!s family, who supposed that
the charge was a misdemeanor. There
is some rearrn to suppose that If a proper
defense had, been Interposed, Level might
not have heen convicted. From what I
have ascertained, he comes of a good
family, and no other charge has ever
been laid athls door. Under all the cir
cumstances. J. feel free to recommend
that executive clemency be extended to
Mr. Level."
WOMAN TAKEN TO SALEM.
Had Toured Country for Several
Years -In 2Iale Attire.
OREGON CITY, Oct 7. (Special.) In
charge of .Sheriff J. R. Shaver, a woman,
who gives her name as Lizzie Wisely,
was taken to Salem tonight after having
toured the country In -men's attire for
several years. Shey first appeared here
some weeks ago andwent to the United
States Land' Office, where she inquired
concerning vacant Government land, say
ing that she wanted" a'homestead. Regis
ter Moores then suspected that ehe was,
a woman In disguise from her voice and
actions. She was next, heard from In
Portland and. was ordered out of town
by the police. This afternoon James
Xiovelace, of Springwater, brought her to
this city and placed her In charge of
the Sheriff, and upon examination she
was committed to the Insane Asylum
by Justice Stlpp.
She says that she has been wearing
male clothes every Summer for many
years and talked freely, about herself.
A year ago last Spring she was detained
at Bellevue Hospital, New York, for ..a
short time and since then has come
across the continent as a hobo pure and
simple. Her age Is 37 years. The last
work she did was cooking In a New
Jersey hotel, and she has been on the
Pacific Coast but a few months. During
the past week ehe has been In the vi
cinity of Springwater and Molalla, and
says she has found a homcsteid near
the latter place that suits her fancy. It
Is not likely that she will be abje to avail
herself of the opportunity to make an
entry for a long time to come.

Senator R. A. Booth, of Lane County, who

ment and taxation which framed thef res
ent law on that subject, is a Arm believ
er in the efficiency of that law, and hopes
to see It remain upon the statute-books

about prompt payment of taxes, that de
linquencies have been reduced to a mini
mum, and that taxes have come in eas

that possibly the discount for early pay

has been so material a consideration In
securing the early payment of' taxes.
While the total tax collected by some
counties has been reduced by reason of
the discount allowed, he believes the
counties have gained as much In the sav
ing of Interest on unpaid warrants as
they lost on discounts.
The discount plan Senator Booth be
lieves to bo equitable, for the man who
parts with his money early secures a re
duction to compensate him for the loss of
the U6e of his money. This discount.
Senator Booth thinks, should be great
enough to Induce taxpayers to pay prompt
ly, but no greater than necessary for this
purpose. It has been stated many times
that the discount Is an advantage to the
rich man who has money with which to
pay his taxes whenever he wishes.. Sen
ator Booth thinks this Is an error, "for It
Is his observation that the men whose
taxes amount to from $10 to $50 take ad
vantage of the discount as generally as
the man whose taxes are much greater.
While the rich man saves the larger
amount the man of moderate wealth
saves In an equal ratio, and the discount
means Just as much to, him. The discount
plan Is In accordance with business prin
ciples, for In all the business world the
equity of discounts for cash Is recognized
and that plan Is followed. Whether the
rate of discount provided In the . tax law
Is too great is a matter Senator Booth
thinks needs attention, but he will op
pose any attempt to repeal the discount
feature of the. law.
It has also been proposed to amend the
law so that taxes will be paid in the Fall.
The argument in favor of this change is,
that In the Fall, after they have sold their
crops, tne farmers nave tne most money
to spare, and It will be most convenient
for them to pay their taxes at that sea-
son. Senator Booth says that he has
heard a great deal of this talk, but that he
has noticed that It does not originate With
the farmer so much as with "the man who
wants the farmer's vote. To change from
Spring to Fall would make It necessary to
make taxes payable six months earlier or
six months later. If they are made pay
able six months earlier, theproperty-own-ers
will have two years' taxes to pay In
one season, while If they- are made pay
able six months later tie counties will get
-behind on funds and will be paying Inter
est on warrants. In cither case there will
be for th time an Increased burden on
the taxpayers. The present aw makes
the taxes payable In the Spring, and If a
property-owner pays half his taxes at
that time he has. until Fall to pay the
balance. This plan. Senator Booth thinks,
gives the greatest satisfaction to the great
est number. A great many farmers do
not sell all their produce In the 'Fall, but
ho!(J part of It-until Spring, when prices
are often better. To these it is a con
venience to have the taxes payable lh the
Spring. 1
Senator Booth believes In a "let-wcjl-enough
alone" policy. The tax law In ex
istence prior to 1901 -was unsatisfactory in
several respects. Under that law the coun
ties entered into a contest to see which
could reduce its property Valuations the
most, and the reductions were carried to
an extent that made our total valuation
look ridiculously low and the rate of levy
alarmingly high: property-owners let their
taxes become delinquent, and took advan
tage of all technical defects which would
enable them to escape payment of taxes;
delinquency sales were numerous, and
those who did pay their taxes had to bear
the burden for those who did not. Having
several important defects-to remedy, the
last Legislature revised the whole law re
garding assessment and taxation, and the
new law seems to have accomplished the
needed reforms. -Unless some fault is
fourfd that Is more, serious than any yet
mentioned, . Senator Booth ' thinks no
change should be made, yrith the possible'
exception of reducing the discount to 2
per cent

Sheriff Colbath closed the tax-collection
books last evening. - only about $5000 re
mained delinquent This is by far the
lowest aelinquency that has been known
in this county in many years. The prompt
payment of taxes Is due to the perfect
descriptions that were made by the As
sessor when he assessed the property, so
that all property-owners knew that ef
fective sales of their property could be
made, and also to the good Influence of the
new tax Jaw, which gives a discount for
early payment and Imposes penalties and
costs ror cellnquencj-.
Some of the property upon which the
taxes are now delinquent has. been sold
by the Sheriff and bid in by the county In
previous years. The County Court has
inaugurated a new plan in dealing with
such property. Yesterday an order was
made directing the. County Clerk to draw
a warrant in favor of the Sheriff for the
amount of taxes due upon property that
tnevcounty has heretofore bid In at tax
sale. The money thus drawn from the
treasury will go back Into the treasury lm
mediately, but the records will show that
the taxes have been paid on the land, and
It will not again bp sold for delinquent
taxes. The county has been caused some
trouble through buying the same land at
j successive tax sales. It seems that the
purchase at the subsequent sale destroys
the county's claim under the previous

In my official capacity it is to my interest to see that members of our
society are in the best possible physical health. Having had occasion to use
Wine of Cardui myself and having found it a remedy of no ordinary merit
but far above anything I have ever knownr and being especially adapted to
cure all tho ills to which women are subiect, I have often "taken occasion
to recommend it and I have never yet haa any reason to regret it, for in
every instance I have found it most helpful, it not only effects a quick
cure, but those who have aken a thorough treatment of this very merito
rious medicine seem to be renewed from head to foot, so that they are
particularly immune from catching diseases and colds, which are really
the beginning of the majority of them. Since I have used Wine of
Cardui myself I feet in excellent physical condition and have no need o

THE Ladies of tho Maccabees is
one of the largest fraternal in
surance organizations in the
country and sickness and death
among its members call for benefits
to be paid out of the treasury of the
order. The great organization is
entirely in the hands of women who
have so successfully conducted its af
fairs that among the secret orders
for women the Ladies of the Macca
bees is regarded as a model. Amonjj
the leaders of this great order is
Mrs. J. M. Powell of Kansas City,
Mo. She is a lady of high intel
ligence and as lieutenant-commander
or the Kansas City lodge has the
welfare of the organization more or
less in her keeping. She says : "In
my official capacity it is to my inter
est tosee that members of our so
ciety are in the best possible physi
cal health." Clear judgment prompts
her. to recommend Wine of 4 Cardui
to the members of her organization.

Wine of Cardni ha3 benefited
every woman who has taken it. Such
a remedy is worthy every woman's
confidence in the time of sickness
when doctors fail and other medi
cines do not bring the sufferer relief.

complicated cases of irregular pe

valuable during pregnancy, at child
birth and during the cliange of life.
It is not a strong medicine but it
quickly relieves female troubles in an
easy and natural way. It strength

on the genital Organs and is the
finest tonic for women known to the
