k&MSi THE LINCOLN TAX MATTER To be Settled by a Committee, Each County to Appoint One Member With the birth ot .Lincoln county a diffi culty arose, between' the infant aud old Benton, regarding the amount of taxes that were supposed to rightfully belong to tl.e new county. The law creating the new county was lame in many particulars be cause it was less explicit than it ought to have been. It provided that the clerk of Benton county should make out a complete list or roll of all the taxes assessed upon persons and property within the boundaries of Lincoln county, that remained unpaid upon the day the act creating the new county went into effect. In so far as the clerk was able this provision was carried out; but he found it was impossible to fol low the letter and spirit of the law. Iu making the assessment) property owued in the various precincts was entered on the roll undar the precinct in which the prop erty owner lived. Through this method much of the property lying on the hay was assessed to residents of Corvallis together with their laud in this precinct. From the gross valnatiou of this property was then deducted their indebtedness. It became an easy matter for the clerk to copy the roll for precincts lying within the boundaries of Lincoln county, but he was unable to segre gate the property of that county hen it was assessed together with other land in Benton county precincts; and even if he could segregate the land, he could not de termiue what proportion of such taxpayer's indebtedness should be deducted from the gross valuation of property situated in Lincoln county. In this wny Lincolnites have been deprived of the taxes on property whose assessed valnatiou is estimated at $200,000. These taxes have been collected by the sheriff of this county ana the $zuuu due us on state taxes have been retained by Lincoln county as a sort of a retaliatory measure. This difficulty has been very aggravating to residents cf both conn ties. Each has threatened the other with a suit, bnt out i'le .f t e suleeu vented by the newspapers, nothing was done toward a i Battlement of the dispute until recently, 1 when a stipulation was signed by members of the two county courts, referring the mat ter to a committee for arbitration. In this way the dilf-rences will lie satisfactorily j jijndicated without the necessity of expen sive litigation. The conditions of these stipulations are in a condensed form as follows: In order to segregate the asei?Hineiit8 of the tax rolls and determine what proportion thereof is due each of the. two counties, a compe tent person will be appointed one from each county whose duty it shall bu to in vestigate carefully the various tax rolls and segregate and apportion the taxes of each. In cases where property in both countn s have been assessed iu a lump bum, the com mittee are to have access to original assess ment blanks for the purpose of determining the value of each piece of property from the value placed upon adjoining property. Should the two arbitrators be nnable, in any -case, to agree a disinterested third party may b called to assist them in reach ing a decision, in which event the decision of two will be considered final and binding on both parties. When this work has been completed the clerk of Benton couuty shall make out and deliver to Lincoln county a supplemental tax roil which shall contain a list of all property found lying w ithin the boundaries of Lincoln couuty. A warrant will be drawn by Benton county to reim burse Lincoln county for all taxes collected by one sheriff upon property situated in the county of Lincoln. From this warrant, however, will be deducted the amount of state taxes upon such property paid by Benton county. Lincoln couuty is to pay the erk of Benton for making the supple mental roll. Erich county is to piy for the services of her representative upon, the board or committee of arbitration and iu case a third person is called in, the cost of his services is to be bore equally by the two counties. This is certainly the proper way of settling this vexed question and it seems strange that such a long period has elapsed before the two county courts could agree upon some definite plan of action that would be fair to all concerned. Patent Car Pusher. E. W. Beeman, an old Oregon Pacific conductor and a railroad mau of many years experience, left Wednesday for Den ver, Col., where he expects to organize a company to engage in the manufacture of s car pusher, a device invented by Mr. Bee man and upon which he recently secured a patent. The affair is quite a simple con trivance, being a piece of steel so con structed as to fit the flange of a car wheel and is attached to a lever that affords great power. Unlike the pinch-bar, whose use in starting a car requires the strength of a Samson and which evidences a tendency to lift the car ' rather than turn the wheel. The Beeman car pusher causes the wheel to turn without much outlay of strength to the operator. At each stroke of the lever the flange slips backward on the revolving wheel thus affording a new leverage and increasing the momentum as the car ad vances. It has a capacity sufficient to move from five to ten ordiuary cars and is designed especially for use on sidings where no locomotive is at hand. Railroad men in this city who have neen the invention say that there has beeu nothing similar to it ever placed on the market. It fills a long felt want and the company that undertake its manufacture ought to meet with success. Killed by a Falling Limb. A very lamentable but nnforseen accident at Gates, Marion county, on the North San tiam, took place on Wednesday. Mr. Al bert Smith, son of Mr. Don Smith of that place, was engaged in cutting down a tree. A limb caught and was broken off and in the rebound caught the young man, striking him on the head and crushing the skull in stantly. He was about 25 years of age, had been married about a year or more and has one child, apd was an estimable and a most highly respected man,' in fact, a uni versal favorite. His young wife and pa rents have the sympathy of the entire com munity. Herald. a Stringed Quartette, cy arrived here this week Ruthyn Tur from Seaside to meet Mr. A. Hattrem, an experienced concert manager, who was en gaged to act in the capacity of advance agent for the Aamold Concert company. .Mr. Hattrem left Wednesday for Van couver, Wash., where the company begin their tour in about ten days. From this i.nint Ihei will !-. billed alotur the Southern P-mifi,. tr. S., Frat.P.isnn. which citv thv 1 expect to reach about the first of October. Then they go to Humboldt county, the old home of Sir. Turney, where they have been guaranteed a large house. From here they go to Seattle aud after playing the Sound circuit, the troupe will take in Eastern Washington and play down the Columbia to Portland, and may perhaps favor us with a concert sometime during December. Be fore the first of the year the company will leave over the Nortern Pacific and during the remainder of the season will play iu the East. At St. Paul it is expected that a stringed quartette will be organised to consist of 1st and 2nd violin, viola and cello. Herr Aamold will accompany the quartette as leader and violin soloist and Mr. Turuey, of whom such favorable men tion has been made regarding his ability as a performer upon the cello, will do the East with the company as uelloist. When this contemplated organization is once perfected, it will be second to uo conceit company in America. Being under the efficient leader ship of Professor Acinold, who has already attained a national reputation as perhaps the best violinist in the world, it gives the quartette a prestige seldom enjoyed, even by older organizations, and assures its man agement sbundant success. Grain Small and Shriveled. Within the past week we have made many enquiries among the farmers regarding their grain yield aud find from conversation with them .that the wheat crop is about twenty per cent less than was anticipated, t-till the yield was fair. The shortage is accounted for in num-rous ways. Many claim it is due to ravages of the aphU which sucked the sap from the stalk and, as a result, less grains have formed iu the meshes than com mon. U'hers say the shortage is due to cold rams that fll while the fall wheat was I in bloom. While it is probable that the fall wheat . suffered some from thexe cold j rains, this loss was fully made up by the ! tianoHsMnl roanlta t.liAao ntnrniB hurl (in t.lm spring sown grain, which is turning out un usually well. Warehousemen say the grain hauled to market this season is of an excel Umt quality and very heavy. Tns berry is unusually small, though, and accounts largely for the shortage. What Might Have Happened. At fiist a dim mist hovered over the earth, making objects scarcely discernable. Then old Sol strode in and under the glare of his .mighty searchlight everything be came distinctly visible. A broad 'audscape was shifted into view by hands that toy with worlds; a beauteous spot withal, wrapped in nature's emerald blanket and kissed by heaven's sunny smiles. Number less fountains of sparkling water laughed and played with the danciug sunbeams, and little songbirds glittering fragment of the rainbow caroled a greeting to the god of light. A delicate fragrance filled the air, soothing the senses into a gentle sleep. There is no telling what else might have happened if Spencer hadn't woke him np to make room for another customer. You see he was in Speucer & Case's burber shop, and he had fallen asleep while Jesse was shaving him. Bad Outlook for Wool. Ex Governor Moody, one of the most ex tensive dealers in wool in the state says: "The average annual output of iu Oregon is about 20,000,000 pounds, The Dalles hand ling about one qnarter. The market price there at this time is ' from seven to nine cents, the lowest ever known. - Ever since the advent of the democratic administration, however, free-trade prices have prevailed, aud the producer in consequence has suf fered severely. This uncertainty has now developed iuto a painful reality, and it seems easy to predict the future of what has been one of Oregon's greatest industries, and pointed to with pride by every resi dent of the state. - - . President J. "M. Bloss leaves tomorrow for Baker City where he is to assist in a dis trict teachers' institute that convenes next Monday. He will also attend sessions of a county institue that meets at Pendleton, September 3. Speaking of the college in terests for the coming scholastic year, the president said, that indications are favorable for a large iucrease in attendance. Added interest in the college is manifested by the unusual number of inquiries for catalogues and other information that are ' being re ceived from all parts of the state. Resi dents of Clatsop and Josephine counties seem particularly anxious for information ind promise a number of new students This is especially gratifying to the presi dent because in the past neither of those counties has evidenced much interest in the work here and scholars from these localities have been exceedingly nre. Owing to the hard times and the depressed condition of the market for farm products, the attendance will uot be increased as largely as it might be expected to 'nnibr more favorable circumstances, still there is everything to indicate that a very fayorable showing will be made when the school opens in September. Brace the Nerves. Sedatives and opiates won't do it- These nervines do not make the nerves strong, and failing to do,this fall short of producing the essential of their quietude vigor. And while in extreme cases and these only f nervous irritation such drugs may be advis able, their frequent use is highly prejudicial to the delicate organism upon which they act, and in order to renew their quieting effect increased and dangerous doses event ually become necessary. Hostetters Stomach Bitters is an effcient substitute for such per nicious drugs. It quiets the nerves by brac ing, toning, strengthening them. The con nection between weakness of the nervous system and that of the organs of digestion is a strong and sympathetic link. The Bitters, by imparting a healthful impulse to the di gestive and assimilating functions, promotes throughout the whole system a vigor in which the nerves come in for a large share. LTse the Bitters in malaria, constipation, bilr HoU8 and kidney trouble. - To Organize LOCAL HAPPENINGS. The News of the Week as Found by Our Reporter.

In last week's issne mention was made of some Yellow Transparent apple trees owned by George D. Barton, which it was supposed were the only ones of this choice variety growing in the state. Mr. G. W. Quivey, however, informs us that a friend sent him one of these trees from Germany several years ago which was planted in his yard and this year yielded a bushel of splendid fruit. He confirms the opinion of Mr. Barton re garding its excellence, claiming that it is the earliest, and at the same time the choic est variety of apples he has ever seen. Willis Vidito, a prosperous farmer of Alsea and present justice of the peace for the precinct, was in town Monday. He reports that grain iu his portion of the county is not turning out as well as was ex pected. WThiIe""oats will yield finely the wheat crop is nnustially light. This result is attributed slightly tn the grain aphis but more particularly to the ravages of the wire worm that made its appearance prior to the advent of the aphis.

Mr. J. fL Albright is the sort of a fruit grower of whom it is a pleasure to speak. He left at this office last Tuesday a heaping quart box of blackberries.

More About Mr. Daly's Proposed O. P. Kxtensiou. Hon. John Daly came out from the bay Tuesday ,and will represent Lincoln county On the board of segregation in the tax mat ter. Iu conversation with a Gazette re porter relative to his proposed exteniuii of ' the Oregon Pacific, Mr. Daly expressed , hiuiSv.lt as beiug perfectly confident of Ulti mate success. He says all the necessary funds can be had for completing the work if the parties who advance the money can j be secured on the sixteeu miles of newly built roadbed and track, j There would probably be no tiuuHe on , this score as the company making the ex tensiou would be entitled to a statutory leiu upon the road buiit by them. The sticking point set-ins to be, not so much in securing the necessary funds, as in getting j the matter in tangible shape for the organi zation of a company to complete the work. . The, roadbed for a distance cf fonr miles is already completed and is part of thr mort gaged premises now in the hands of the court. This is also true of the right of way over the t-ntire sixteen rjles. The question under these circumstances ( that confronts Mr. Daly and his co-workers ! is: Has the court the legal riht right to make an order in the premises that will not be laden with conditions sufficient to ren der a consumption of the project impossible. Mauy claim that the Oregon Pacific com pany has forfeited its charter and right of wav bv its failure to comulete the line to' an eastern connection in the time specified. On this ground the court would have no jurisdiction in the matter as it would be eutirely out of his hands. Therefore if the judge is to act iu the premises it must be assumed that the company has forfeited none of its rights, and if the plan to extend the road to Independence prairie 18 to sue ceed. it must be known for a certaintv. that Judge Fullerton has the legal ris-ht to turn ' over to the new organization all the rights, ' franchises and right of wav of the Oregon" Pacitic, so far as it effects the proposed ex- j tension, together with four miles of road- bed, all of which are portions of the mort- g-iged property now in the bauds of the couit nuder foreclosure proceedings. Unless such an order can be had there ' will be no adequate security to offer for the , money necessary in carrying out the plan. ; With a nroper showing from the receiver 1 urging the importance of the completion of ! this work aud the consent of all parties- in ; interest, the court could grant the order j and the possibility of future trouble and j expensive litigation would be thus avoided. I - - - Tbe - best interests . -if a large portion of the state and the future welfare of the road'r demand the completion of this proposed ex- j tension at an early date. Mr. Daly says ' that so far as he is able to learu most of the . interests involved in the. present intermin able litigation are fayorable to the project. It is authentically stated, however, that Mr. Wm. M. Hoag, while in this city recently, expressed himself as being, decidedly op .posed to the measure.. It is perhaps possi ble that he has not had the matter explained satisfactorily and upon a more thorough in vestigation of the merits of. the dan he : might see the wis lom of favoring it. I j Tuesday uight the baru of Hiram Wood, who lives iu Blodett's valley, was burned to the ground together with two head of I horses and a large amount of farm ma chinery that was stored in the building. The loss sustained will amount to reveral hundrel dollars with no iusunuce. The cause of the bhrze seems to be wrapt in mystery. Shortly before the fire occurred Mr. Wood had been at the barn and watered his horses. While there it is supposed he lighted a lantern, which it has beeu his cus tom to keep in the stable, aud dropped the lighted match on the ground which iguited . with the loose straw aud caused the fire. Mr. Wood, however, disiemembers having lighted the lanteru, stUl the loss can be ac- ; couuted for iu no other way, as he returned from the barn ouly a few minutes before the blaze was discovered.

Fearing th: t she might be hurt, her 1ms on ml askea Iiit to jump frem the vehicle, and in doing so she struck her head against an oak stump, fracturing the ok. nil which resulted in do.illi three hours later. Mrs. Burns was quite well known in Corvallis where shn was mar ried only eight iiinutUb ago at lue residence of her uncle, Oeorge SmiJh. She was neice of Airs. J. J.
