For many years tradition has told of such a phenomenon of nature, and recent ly an expedition was sent out by the I -OS Angeles Herald to investigate the matter. The tradition was verifiei, tor upon the upper levels of Graj back Mountain a glacier one mile long, and on th: average 200 feet deep, was fron t. The icy mass, according to computation made, moves downwsrd it the rate ot 47 feet a year. The many friends of Capt MofTett will be pleased to learn of his acquittal on the charge .f libel growing out of some criticisms in dulged in by the Telegram concerning the conduct of certain republican leaders in the j iast city election in.

The first step lo any intelligent revision of the tariff is an ascertainment of the country's need in the way of revenue.

That i for Congress to discover and determine undd the operation of the Dockery resolu tion, or some similar cne.

ASSESSMENT AND TAXATION The near approach of the session of the 'egislaturc brings out many propositions for the consideration of that body, but none of these are of so g.uve importance, or concerning which so many diverse and conflicting opinions are held as that of assessment and taxation. Men seem to be more tenacious about this subject than any other. The selfisLness and mercenary dis position of man leads him to seek advan tages over his neighbor with greater persistence in matters of taxation than in any other. For this reason the framers of the constitution of the state sought to es -tablish some fundamental, organic rule by which legislation on the subject of assess nient and taxation might be regulated. To this end they inserted the following pro vision in the constitution of the state (see sec 32 Art 1 of Uic constitution.): "No tax or duty shall bo imposed without the con sent of tbo people or their representatives in the legislative assembly; and all taxation skaJl V eqaal ami uniform." But knowing that selfishness and greed would lead men to dodge taxation by ways of hiding and covering up their property in the way of notes and other intangible evidences of value.the framers of the constitution insert ed the following provision in that instru ment: "The legislative - m shal provide by law for uniform and equal rat of assessment and taxation; and shall pre scribe such regulations as shall secure a jmst valuation for taxation of all propniy boxi real and pttsoaal, excepting such only for municipal, educational, literary, scien tific religious, or charitable purposes as may be specially exempted by law." (See Sec 1 Art 9 of the constitution.) The supreme court of this state in con truing this section lays down the fallow ing: "Notes and mortgages are personal property within the purview of this) sec tion and are therefore subject to taxation.' (See PoppJeton vs Yamhill county 8 Oregon page 337. r j is- property, and therefore under the constitution must be taxed. We are led to these reflections upon the perusal of three seperate assessment and taxation bills which the Chamber of Commerce of Portland has prepared and submitted to the public for their consideration and criticism. The first bill prepared by that body is one to repeal the mortgage tax law and the law allowing deductions for in debtedness. As we have shown above, under the constitution and the decision of the supreme court, mortgages must be taxed, and as this bill repeals the mortgage tax law and does not provide any other way of taxing mortgages or the notes which they are given to secure, but on the contrary expressly provides that "debts, and the evidences of debt. are not property,' the innovation is so radical as to at once invite serious opposition. In fact there it scarcely a doubt that such a law would be held by the court to contravene the consti tution inasmuch as that instrument recog nizes notes and mortgages as property, and a institutional provision cannot be re pealed by a statute. As to the repeal of the law allowing no deductions for indebtedness, it is safe to say that it will meet with much more favor than it ever has before. It is believed by those who have given the matter much investigation that in case the repeal should be effected there would be such an increase of taxable property ameag the wealthy of the state as to make it certain that those taxpayers who now give in deductions for indebtedness of $5000 and less would find themselves paying much less taxes than now under the deduction clause. The bill provides that the assessor shall make no distinction between improved town lots and unused trac's of land, bnt that they must be aaaessed as of the same value per lot or rer acre as similar proximate lots or fjacts improved and occupied. Imprcve- menls upon lands or lot3 must be rirsssaed separately from A GOOD TIME TO BEUIN. Congress has authority under the Consti -tutton to fix the time for its own assembling. Bills are now before the House for chang ing the date of the meeting of Congress from the first Monday ia December to the first (Monday after the 4th of March. Such a bill should be passed at this session J and the law should apply to the meeting of the next Congress. The delay of more 'han a year in the meeting of a new Congress af ter its election is not only an riachronism In these days of the telegraph, tbc railroad and the daily newspaper, but it pats a serious limitation upon the operation of the people's will. It has nopsrellel in any other govern ment. It would not be tolerated in any State of the Union, as spplied to its Legislature Now is a good lime to make the change Twice in elections for Congressmen the peo ple have decreed a reform in taxation and other changes in the policy of the Govern ment. Yet there are leaders of the Demo- cratic party who would defer the beginning of these reforms for anotneryearbecause the meeting of the people's representatives in March or April or even in September might Interfere with the personal comfort of the President or disturb the peace of irind of hit Cabinet officers. These are puerile reasons for delaying tire execution of the people's will, The time o the meeting of Congrats shoa'd be changed by law. JUSTICE IS DEMOCCATIC. A monopoly organ declares that an in come tax it "undemocratic." It taytthat " th- n lex cuge for the income tax was that it wat a war measure," and asks: "What ex cuse can be given for reimposfng It?" Tire excuse is necessity. The Govern ment is confronted with the condt ion of an empty Treasury and a demand for tariff re duction twice made by the people. Either one of these things may make new taxe3 nec essary. Combinod they are almost certain to do so. With an annual expenditure of over $227. 000,000 dug. to the war for pensions and in terest upon the public debt a cnoice in war taxes would fall on a graded income tax up on every ptincip'e of economy and justice. It ig s'irely Democratic to lax luxuries rather 1 han necessaiies, superfluities ra' he than essentials. Atone rf the speakers a the Reform Club said, "Any tax on what men have i better than a tax on what men need." It cannot be undemocratic to tax those who are best able to pay, to apportion public burdens in a manner n cause the least hardship to the greates'. number. A graded income tax ig the coming tsx if the expenditures of the Governmeat are to continue anywhere near the present mark. During his stay in Kansas City Mr Giloy told a reporter that it is Bourke Cockran's praatice never to prepare a spsecn in manu script, hut simply to make a few notes uf the topics he in'enris ro rflcw, 5; ,lt Jfr CJilroy: "Cockran said to me that this plan invari ably produced the b?st results, and that when he had carefully prepared a speech be invaribly tound it to he less satisfactory and effective than when delivered with scarcely any preparation.

WHITMAN COUNTY ANU I'Al.ul'sK VAI.I.KY From one tilled with enthusiasm comes to the Democrat a description of Whit man county and Palouse Valley in Wash ington : From its very northern boundary to its southern, east and west, it is noted and has been proven to be the best wheat producing county 0f the great northwest. It has never failed in any locality to bring forth a fair average, even in the poorest parts, not less than 'JO bushels per acre and from that to 65. The Palouse valley which is the most thickly netted and no doubt the best part of Washington, is dotted along in art .tv direction wi'h rapidly growing towns, and towns that will be in the race with county seats of adjoining states. The farmers of this county are, as a general rule, men who tire well fixed and indepen dent. Many of them are retiring from their farm life nml moving into the sur rounding ci'n-s. Klberton is one of the man coming cities. It is the prettiest little place in the Palouse valley, situated at the confluence of the Palouse river and Silver creek, about i2 or 13 miles from Palouse city, and about the same distance from Colfax. It is i the center of the greatest wheat growing belt in the county. There never has been a failure in this sec tion The average yield of wheat in this vicinity is from 40 to 60 bushels per acre. (and this is no exaggeration ) This town has a population of 300 or more, and there are new people coming in every day. Here is to be found the finest water power for milling and manufacturing purposes in the i .to .,r:.. CM- Tki.;. .!. " t - " ! one f the largest wheat shipping points on the 0 P Railroad.

A few miles from Elbert on there is a large bntte almost a moun'ain It is about 990 feet above the hill tope. It is called Steptoe bntte. so called after an army officer. Col Steptoe who, with several companies of his regiment were held there on top by the Indians until they were nearly starved out, bnt were finally reacned by other troops.

He has spent about 20.000 Cor improvements and anticipates a railroad up the bntte in the near future.
