V. MUIT CORMLLIS GAZETTE ml Corvallis, July 22, 1881. -EDITED by- YANTIS & WOODCOCK, ATTORNEYS AT LAW, OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY QREQQN ASSESSMENTS. The assessment and collection of taxes has ever been a continual source of complair.t, many times justly, an oftentimes for want of -an understand ing of the matters about which the complaint is made. During the pres ent year we have occasionally heard murmurings of this nature by parties generally who supposed that tiiey had been over-assessed. As to the justness of their complaint we have nothing to say, because we know not the facts out of which it arose. Wc suppose, however, that Assessors throughout the whole State are plac ing much higher valuations upon pronerty this year than in years past for if they did cot they would fail to fulfill the requirements of the Act of the last Legislature, which will be foand on page 52 of the Session Act of the Legislature of 1S80. In treat irtg of the valuation of property this Act says r "True cash value shall be held and takea to mean the amonnt Mich property would sell for at a vol .iiitary sale made in the ordinary course of business, and not what it would bring at public auction or a forced sale." Under this law. if property will sell for $30 in the ordi nary course of trade.it. should be as- scFsed at $30, and not at $10 or $15, as has been the custom in years past If such extra valuation is placed up on all property without discrimination it, need net be a subject of complaint because if the property is valued higher than in former years the num ber of mills levied should be cone spondiogly less, which will make the aggregate the same as heretofore. While the fact of the State tax being fixed at a certain number of mills on the dollar may in some small degree cause the practical effect of the pres ent law to vary from the above con clusion in regard to the aggregate .amount of tax to be paid, yet the present State levy under the in creased valuation will produce no more taxes than the State actually needs. Should it cause more money to be paid into the State treasury than is necessary, any succeeding Legislature can and will no doubt re duce the amount now levied by the State. The present Act of the Leg islature was no doubt intended to furnish an established rule for the valuation of property, so that all property would be valued alika and thus furnish an equal and uniform system- of assesments. Whether it will work this object remains to be seen. All candid persons most admit that the old system of assessments under which assessors were allowed to value one class of property at thir ty per cent, of what it would sell for in the market and another class, at one hundied per cent, on its saleable value was most thoroughly unequal and unjust. PORTLAND TEACHERS' INSTITUTE, This was intended to be the State Teacher's Association. The State Superintendent took steps to make it instructive and entertaining to all the teachers of the state. He had im ported a distinguished lecturer of normal school training from Califor nia. As soon as this gentleman reach ed Portland he found that Portland was the state; accordingly, he gave his whole time to graded schools. If any one inquired how a certain sys tem which he had explained would work in country schools, he would reply that in the "rural deestrietK" they would have to do the best they could he didn't know much about those schools. Portland with its characteristic rapacity gobbled up every benefit, and. did not allow teachers from other parts of the state to take any part except in the payment of the expens es of the institutq-ono dollar apiece, Teachers outside of Portland seem ed to be looked on as intruders. The expression upon the faces of Portland teachers and superiueendenls seemed to be: "where did you come from?" what did you come here for?" "Does your mother know yon are out?" Although this was appointed for the State Teachers' Association; and, although a state officer, the Hon. Sup't was present doing all he could to make it a success, the citizens did not turn out at all hardly, day nor night. The teachers from the "rural dees- tricts" became disgusted and left the graded, normal school teachers alone n their glory. I hope that the State Sup't will hold another Institute next year and that he will hold it where he will be respected. Visitor. THE NEW YORK SENATORSHIP, .rrora the recent dispatches it would seem that the Albany, fN. Y.) farce was soon to be terminated. On Monday Miller, an administration re publican was elected to nil the va cancy caused by the resignation of senator Piatt, and the present indica tions are that Conkling will go the same road though just who his suc cessor will be is yet a matter of spec ulation but he will doubtless be an administration man. And truly this wretched state of affairs has been carried quite far enough. The long suffering patience of the people have been sorely tried and are now almost exhausted. When Conkling was elected to the United States Senate, we uke it for granted that he was the choise of the people of his state, but when from a petty ami childish exence he deserted bis post of duty iu-that body and returned home, it was enough to, and did disgust the better class of his constituency, and they now very justly and wisely re fuse to be made parties to this pite able farce of offended dignity. That Conkling is a man of great ability no one who is at all aexnainted with his politicial history, will for one moment question but that, he has proven him self a huge pile of conceittul and ar rogant inconstencies, is now an equal ly authenticated and established fact. With him the one prominant and central idea is to "rule or rain" un til the cry of the people of bis state now addressed to him is. How -fat-yet will you abuse our patience? To what extent will your unbridled au dacit y burl you?. HAPPY J ALLEY. Editors Cazettb: Having lately come to this part of Benton connty. and being a friend to the Gazette, I will offer you a few lines for your highly prized paper. What is termed Happy Valley is situated on or near depot slough. I think it a choice portion of this coast Wk country. We have the best soil, the finest timber and the most densely settled locality I know of on tbis side of the coast range. We have a good school and a well attended Sabbath school, and with all very pleasant neighborhood. We look for lively times soon, as we are suie of the railroad. We ex pect to engage largely in the building of this road, as much of the timber must come from our section of the country, and we have timber in abundance and-of the best quality both for ties and timbers, and the beauty of it is we can float it on tide water to where it is wanted.

An English paper says : The robbery on a railroad train in America happens as aff ording an opportunity to reply to American critics upon the danger of the English plan of separate compartments. American cars seem specially made to invite this kind of outrage. Vyitn the tngnsh system such a wholesale rajd is impossible in any case. One carriage alone could be robbed so before passengers and officials could organize a re sistance. As there is no example of such an event in our railway history we may assume that the difficulties and dangers are so great as to deter the most daring criminal. The actual danger of murder and robbery is far less on English lines than on American. Paris, July 19.

The connty men are ready, 100 strong, to defend the pass, and prevent the laying of the track over the bridge. It is thought that the railroad company will make a break for business on Saturday night, with a view to having Sunday to work, but" they will be badly out in their calculations if they im agine the bridge defenders will permit any thing of the sort.

Details of a shoot ing scrape come from Greasewood precinct, Umatilla county, which will probably re sult fatally to at least one of the parties en gaged. It seems that a young man named Kinney, a school teacher in the district, had become enamored ef aud desired to marry a young lady whose foster father's name is Switzer. To the wishes of the young couple switzer objected, unreasonably, it is claimed, and Kinney called upon him and asked him to ctate his objections. Hard words fol lowed, which, in turn, were supplemented by an exchange of pistol shots It is thought that Kinney is mortally wounded. Switzer is less, seriously injured and is still at large. leTegram. The entire family of Mr. Frank .
