MANAGER WOOD TAKES HOLD. Oregon Securities Company's Affairs Arc Growing Fast. COTTAGE GROVE, Or., Dec 2. (Spe cial ) A. B. Wood, who was appointed general manager of the Oregon & South extern Railroad one year ago, was re cently appointed general manager of the Oregon Securities Company, the largest mining company .operating In the Bo hemia district. The efficient manner In which Mr. Wood has handled the affairs cf the Oregon & Southeastern Railroad Is he direct result of the New Tork officers enlarging Mr. Wood's scope. The ap pointment was a very gratifying " an nouncement to 'the Qottage Grove people. Mr. Wood entered upon the duties of His rew office yesterday, and left this morn ing for Bohemia, "where he -goes to fa miliarize himself with every'detall of the workings of the Oregon Securities Com pany. The affairs of this mining company :ae grown to such propotions that the New York office saw the necessity of cringing the duties of Superintendent C C. Mathews and the management closer In touch. It was announced that the Oregon Se curities Company will strike the large Champion lead that they have been driv ing for in' a few days, but It Is hardly probable that this large plant will start before April 1, as an upraise of over 200 feat wlll.be necessary and many other de tails before they start the mill.

Chllliwack and Surrey allowing the new electric railway to use the old Yale road as a right of way on which to construct the new line. A company was formed some time aso under the manage ment of J.

Columbia, with elec triclty and have all the land shipping of tne province done by electricity as well as all traffic Already this company owns all the street-par lines "in the cities of Vancouver, Victoria and New Westmlns ter, and has only within the past month signed a contract taking over the Cana dlan Pacific .Railway Company's road to Steveston, whereby, they will bring in . all the canned salmon shipments for Eastern points to Vancouver by .electricity as" well as all the farm products of Lulu Island. Over 100 farmers living on Lulu Island have signed contracts taking motors for their own use in farming and the com pany intends in the next three months to have electric lights in the residence of every farmer In the district through which the line will run as well as having aii tnresmng machines and the like run by this same power. The scheme Is a gigantic one, but it fs stated on good authority that James J. Hill, who has an cptlon on the company's holdings. Is at the back of the whole machinery and with ws usual stability will push the matter to a finish.

In the case of the Oresron : OaJffnmln Railroad Conmanv vs. Lan Coimtv th Supreme Court of Oregon held a different view, in tnat case the court said that earned and selected Indemnity lands, to which the company was entitled to re ceive a patent, were subject to taxation the same as lands for which it has re ceived a patent. The Supreme Court of the State of Washington has announced a similar rule holdlntr that although it b conceded that the legal title to tho lands yet remains in the united States, the pur- cnaser nas such an equitable interest therein as Is sublect to taxation. Tn a Federal decision upon the same sub ject the United States Circuit Court said: "it is assumed that at the time the land was assessed for taxation th frr -orni n the United States and consequently It was not uaoie to taxation. This position cannot be maintained. It Imposes a limi tation on state do wen? which doe come within the delegated powera of the General Government. The taxing power of a state may reach everything within a state which can be denominated property. It may be made to embrace all equitable credits of whatever description they may be." Last September a similar nuosHnn tra .submitted to the Attorney-General when wie jjistnct Attorney ror Klamath and Lake Couuties Inquired when lands cov ered Dy neu selections became taxable. The Attorney-General's decision was that lieu lands are taxable as soon as the applicant has done everything to entitle him to a patent. Under this decision large areas of valuable timber land, in several counties of the state have become euDject to taxation. VICTIMS OF THE CIGARETTE.
