TAX ON LIVESTOCK
New Law Goes Into Effect at
Once in Oregon,
RANGE TROUBLE DEMANDED IT
County Assessors Will Have to Take
the Measure Into Account in
Making Assessments Begin
ning Next- Month.
SALEM. Or., Fob. 22. (Special.) When
County Assessors In Oregon begin making
their assessments next month, they -will
be governed in part by the new law rel
ative to the assessment of livestock. This
act of the Legislature is one of the very
few new laws that carried emergency
clauses, and in this instance the emer
gency was declared to exist because of
the range wars in parts of the State of
Oregon. Because this act will tend to
settle the range difficulties and avert vio
lence, it is declared that the immediate
preservation of public peace, health and
safety require that the act take effect
from and after its approval by the Gov
ernor. The act referred to, H. B. 237, declares
that livestock pastured In more than one
county shall be subject to taxation in
each county in proportion to the time it is
no permitted to pasture or range.
All stock must be assessed in the usual.
manner by Assessors, and the owner must
deliver to the Assessor a written state
ment, showing a description of the stock,
with the brands used; where the stock
has been kept and will be kept, with the
county, and the owner is liable to his
home county for the state, county and
other taxes. "And the owner shall, un
less sufficient real estate ample to secure
the same is liable therefor, pay the As
sessor at the time of sucCi assessment the
tv hole amount of said taxes for the full
year at the rate of the last preceding
levy, and take his receipt therefor."
It is then provided in the act that, when
stock is permitted to range in any county
other than its homo county, the owner or
Ills agent shall notify the stock inspector
of said county of the entry of his stock.
The stock inspector must immediately de
mand a statement of the number of head
tif stock coming Into the county, etc,
nnd evidence that the tax thereon has
been paid or secured In the home county.
The owner Is then liable to the county
into which his stock has been taken "for
the portion of the taxes thereon for the
lull length of time that such livestock
has been and will be within said counts
during said year, according to the last
preceding rato o levy in said county for
all state, county or other purposes, as
other property in said county Is liable."
The owner must pay said taxes to the
etock Inspector or secure the same.
If the stock remains in the county after
the time for which the tax has been paid,
the owner must furnish the stock in
spector an additional statement and pay
a further tax for the time the stock Is
to remain, in the county.
As soon as any such livestock Is re
lumed to its home county, or If not re
turned, then before the expiration of the
year, the owner or the person to whom
first assessed shall present to his home
county the receipts showing the taxes
paid to other counties on such stock,
-whereupon he shall bo entitled to receive
from the County Treasurer out of the
migratory stock fund "that part of the
amount of taxes paid on such livestock In
raid county proportional, as the total
periods of time for which taxes have been
paid in other counties -within the state,
as shown by the receipts therefor and
presented, is to the wholo year."
Taxes aro made a lien upon the stock
In any county where the tax is due, and
upon any real property of the owner In
sJd. county, and such taxes may be col
lected by any proper action or provisional
remedy.
Assessors and stock inspectors must
make monthly report showing the stock
assessed, the time for which assessed, and
the amount collected, which amount must
be deposited in the County Treasury,
where Jt shall constitute the migratory
stock fund. "Where rebate for livestock
Is made to a person other than the one by
whdm the tax was originally paid, such
payment must be made upon the certifi
cate of the Assessor or stock Inspector,
which shall show the name of the person
entitled thereto, the number and descrip
tion of livestock, the time for which the
rebate is allowed, and the county or coun
ties in which taxes on such livestock have
been paid or secured to be paid other than
the home county.
At the first regular term of the County
Court, after the 1st day of January of
each year, the Treasurer of each county
shall report to the County Court the
amount of taxes on livestock received by
him. and the number.- description and
cwner thereof, and the time for which
the tax was paid; the amount paid on re
hates, and the number and description of
the stock, the name of the owner and the
time for which the rebate was paid. If
the report be found correct, tho balance
in the migratory fund shall be turned into
the general fund. No rebate can be al
lowed after the Treasurer has made his
report for the year.
The provisions of this act do not apply
to stock sold by the owners thereof in
the home county, upon which the full
taxes have been paid, which said stock
shall be driven or transported into other
counties and kept in enclosures for the
purpose of preparing the same for mar
ket. Persons or corporations owning or hav
ing In charge any livestock, who violate
the provisions of this act. are liable to a
line of $25 to $1000, or Imprisonment for 20
days to one year.
The act Is general In its nature, and ap
plies to all counties and all livestock sub
ject to assessment and taxation. Accord
ing to the language of the act, all As
sessors must require the specified state
ment to be made when they assess live
stock. Proportionate assessments, how
ever, are only made upon livestock that
Is "kept, driven or pastured, or is per
mitted to range or graze in more than
one county of the state during tho year.
RICHER THAN FIRST REPORTED
Strike in Bohemia Mine Improves on
Further Development.
COTTAGE GROVE, Or.. Feb. 22. (Spe
cial.) The strike in the Crystal Consoli
dated mine in Bohemia, made over a
month ago, of six feet of ore, partly

T.oxv shows seven feet of solid ore. The
ore is high grade. Tests were made
vi the ore at the time of the strike and
assayed $54 per ton, carrying copper,
lead and zinc.
One of the miners Just arrived from
tlicre reports that the ore is now much
better than it was when the test was
m?de. The company Is getting every
thing ready to start Its stampmlll as soon
as the weather will permit, probably April
1. The object of milling this ore is to
i educe it to concentrates, which will
probably be 4 to. 1, and separate the

trators. The concentrates will then be
shipped to smelters where that class of
mineral Is treated.

WEBER KILLED MOTHER
JURY RETURNS FIRST-DEGREE
VERDICT AFTER 15 HOURS.
Auburn, Cal., Youth Also Accused of
Slaughter of Father, Sister
and Brother.
AUBURN. CaL, Feb. 22. Adolph
Weber was today convicted of murder
in the first degree, for the killing of
his mother. The Jury was out 15 hours.
Adolph Weber, who Is only 20 years
old, was tried for tho murder of his
mother, but is also accused of killing
his father, sister and brother and of
burning the family residence. The
tragedy occurred November 10, 1904,
at Auburn, the county seat of Placer
County. On that day, soon after
Adolph left his home. It was destroyed
by fire and the other four members of
the family perished. An examination
of the bodies taken from the ruins of
the house proved that the mother,
father and daughter had been shot,
while the dead boy had been struck on
the head with some blunt Instrument.
Adolph arrived at the fire before It
was extinguished and threw into the
flames a bundle found to contain his
blood-stained trousers, which a few
mlnutrs before he had exchanged for
a new pair. This and other circum
stantial evidence led to his arrest. He
is the sole heir to the estate, which is
quite valuable.
Eminent counsel were engaged In
his defense, while the Attorney-General
of the state conducted the prosecu
tion. The trial occupied 28 days, dur
ing -which the prisoner maintained his
composure to a remarkable degree.
MONEY FOR INDIAN VETERANS
Appropriation of the Legislature Be
comes Available May 18.
SALEM, Feb. 22. (Speclal.)-Indian War
veterans who have not yet been paid the
money allowed them by the state are
pouring Inquiries Into the office of the
Secretary of State regarding the tuppro
prlation made by the Legislature at Its
recent session, and find that the act mak
ing the appropriation does not go Into
effect -for 90 days, or until May IS.
This appropriation differs from that
made In 1903 In this respect, that In no
case can the money be paid to the estate
or any heir of a veteran who has died
since having his claim, audited, though
In case of such death the money may be
paid to the widow.
There arc now 250 claims awaiting pay
ment and $45,000 was appropriated to meet
them. For the Information of the many
people Interested directly or indirectly In
this law. Secretary of State Dunbar has
caused the act to be printed and has
prepared a circular letter explanatory
thereof. .The letter says:
As a claimant under the provisions of an
act of the Legislature of 1003 providing fo:
compensating volunteers for services ren
dered the Territory of Oregon during the In
dian "Wars of 1S35 and 1856, having a vouch
er approved by the Adjutant-General on file
In this office, which has not bten audited,
owing to the fact that the sum appropriat
ed by said act became exhausted before the
filing of your claim, I send you herewith
for your information a copy of an act passed
by the Legislature which lias Just adjourned,
providing for compensating the volunteers
for the services of the Territory of Oregon
during the Indian Wars of 1855 and 1S26.
who were not provided for by the act of
the Legislature of 1003.
The act contains no emergency clause, and
consequently does not tafce effect until 00
days from the end of the session, which will
be May 16, 1005, and under no Circum
stances can claims be audited or warrants
issued prior to that date. The Supreme
Court In the caee of Boyd vs. Dunbar holds,
"the authority of the Secretary of State is
limited to the terms of the act, and he
cannot go beyond Its provisions, nor can the
courts compel or authorize him to do so."
It will be observed that section S of the
act provides that "the claim for services
rendered by said volunteers shall only be
made by the volunteers themselves, and in
no event can the claim be filed by his
widow, heir, or estate; and In no event shall
the claim for said services of said volun
teer be payable or due to any person ex
cept the volunteers who have actually
served In salfl Indian Wars, except In the
event that the volunteer In eald Indian
Wars has died since the filing and proving
of his claim before the Adjutant-General
and the Secretary of State, In which event
the amount found due shall be paid to the
widow or said deceased volunteer. If any;
but In no event shall such amount be pay
able to heirs, either direct or Indirect, or
the estate of such volunteer, and should
the deceased volunteer leave no widow, then
the amount found due said volunteer shall
revert to the State of Oregon."
Satisfactory evidence therefore must be
furnished this office that the claimant is
living on May 18, 1003. blank form or proof
being herewith Inclosed. In the event of
death, and the claimant leaving a widow,
latlsfactory evidence must be furnished thl
office in the form of a sworn affidavit as to
the Identity of the widow form of which af
fidavit will be furnished upon application.

mission met this morning In the Gov
ernor's office and formally elected Mr.
Hltt to the position. The board also de
cided to retain C. Will Shaffer as first as
sistant and Misa Josephine Holgate as
second assistant.
It was unanimously decided that tho sal
aries of the library employes should be
raisel, and the secretary was directed to
notify the appropriations committee that
the schedule deemed reasonable by the
Library Commission would be 52000 for
the Librarian, $1500 for the first assistant

OVERDREW ITS BANK ACCOUNT
Idaho University Will Get No Relief
From the Legislature.
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 22. (Special.) The
appropriation committee of the House and
the finance committee of the Senate spent
the day on the general appropriation bill.
They have been confronted, with many
problems. Principal among these has been
the question of provision for the educa
tional institution.
The State University asked for 550,000.
in addition to its income from endowment
funds. The latter will amount to a sum
between 526,000 and 530.000. After a great
deal of discussion In committee. following
arguments by special friends of the in
stitution. It has been agreed to allow
527,500 from the general fund.
Another trouble has been a deficiency
of $0000 for the university. It appears to
be In the nature of an overdraft at a
bank. As-this was not authorized by the
state board, the appropriations commit
tee' has refused to make proylakm. for it
The special committee to prepare a bill
to cover deficiency claims also refused to.
recognize this claim, and It seems likely
tq go unpaid.
This claim has accentuated a contro
versy that has arisen over the powers of
the board of regent3. It has been alleged
the board of regents Is supreme, the
board being a body corporate. Its funds
are turned over to It quarterly, and are
disbursed differently from those of any
other institution. The claims do not pass
through the hands of the State Board of
Examiners, nor do they go Into the Au
ditor's office.
The legislative committees have taken
the ground that the Legislature cannot
recognize any deficiency not certified by
the Board of Examiners. This university
deficiency was not authorized by the
board, nor was It certified by It.
The Lewlston Normal School will get
520.000 from the general fund If the pres
ent plan goes through. It Is estimated
Its endowment Income will foot up to 51S.
00. The proposed appropriation for It Is
also a pronounced cut.

"The use of your Peruna as a rem

my friends who have been benefited
by the same, as well as my own expe
rience .as to its efficacy and good
tonic properties, causes me to recom

The constant exposure to the elements
of an outdoor life is not so apt to ex
cite coughs and colds as sedentary hab
its. Those who are brought to face the
weather every day In active life are
much less liable to catarrhal diseases
than those who are housed up in illy
ventilated rooms.

One of the greatest American millionaires
once said to his physician, "A million dol
lars, Doctor, for a new stomach," and then
the sick man groaned and turned away.
One of a man's greatest pleasures is that
born of t keen appetite, vigorous digestion
and a good dinner, and this belongs to
many a good fellow who is living: on acuil
wages, but the rich man without a stomach
has to forego the good things of the table
because, his stomach rebels. Without a
healthy stomach and a good digestion, onr
blood is thin, watery and poor, our heart
action is weak, onr liver does not do its
duty, and man is miserable and unhappy.
In this condition man is prey to the germs
of inflnenza, consumption, malaria and ail
the ills that he is heir to. Consumption
can be treated by natural methods which
are as close to nature as possible.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physi
cian of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., years ago un
derstood this disease, and after a long pe
riod of experiment discovered certain roots
and herbs which were nature's remedies,
and succeeded in putting them up in a
form that would be easily procured and
ready to use. This he called Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It gives no
false stimulation because it contains no
alcohol and no narcotic. It helps diges
tion and the assimilation of such elements
in the food as are required for the blood.
Instead of a cod liver oil, against which
the already sensitive stomach will declare
open rebellion, this tonic has a pacifying
action upon the sensitive stomach and
gives to the blood the food elements the
tissues require. It maintains the patient's
nutrition by enabling him to eat. retain,
digest and assimilate nutritions food. It
overcomes gastric irritability and symp
toms cf indigestion, and In this way lever,
night -sweats, headaches, etc., are done
away with. It fortifies the body against
the germs of consumption, grip and ma
laria, and it builds up the tissues and puts
on healthy flesh.
When the druggist says he has some
thing that is "just as good "as Dr. Piercefs
Golden Medical .Discovery, he says so be
cause he hopes to. make a better profit,
bat his own mixtures have not stood the
test of long experience nor had the success
tljil Dr. Pierce's medicines have-had.
And yet both of these classes are
more or less subject to catarrh and
catarrhal diseases.
The soldier and sailor, as well as the
civilian, find It frequently necessary to
take Peruna on account of coughs and
colds. ,
