Grants Pass Courier: The "new county projects to be submitted to the legislature all claim to have their con- Ion In the laudable desire to "riWiush county sent rings." If the runners and citizens of the counties outside of the prrxent county seat! Will attend to tlielr political business, there will be no need of "smashing county aeat rings," because those Hugs cannot form without the concurrence or the fanner, the miner and stockmen ex pieNl through either their desire or negligence. If the citizens of the coun ty at large watch their Interests thf re will lie no rings to smash. If they don't, cutting up the counties will only increase the number or tings. The Fox Chase.

At Its meeting Kut urday the state board of equalization got down to work and equalized all classes of proiH-rty In the several coun ties except "money, notes and ac counts," and mortgages. Iiy their work taturday they rained the asneas ment of the state an nggregnle of about $5,000,(100. They are in scaalon tMly, when other subjects will be laken up and dUpomtl of. As before slated, nearly ail of the counties awa-sacd niuN-gagi-s at fnce value, but Multnomah and Clackamas took them at 50 cr ceiit.

Ed. (Jcard: A strong remonstrance to the prossitlon of a few lenellid parties to carve a slice out of Douglas and Lane counties and make a new county will no doubt lie made by a great iiiCority of the citizens of both Lane aud Douglas counties. Of course, a few right around Cottage Orove would be triad to tee their plan carried out, and would probably fcl very hap py while the flunh of victory was upon them. Hut a short time would lse, however. In-fore the reeling would turn to one of supreme dlngust, and the ma jority of those in the proposed new county, in loci to an out inone noiuing down ofllces or owning town Iota In Cottage Orove, when they find that the expenses or running Ji county would be nenrerl 15.000 or 120,000 thv.l the sum of tawiOorflOOO, as act forth in t proponed bH, Then what a bowl there would i from the poor taxpayer. And If the county run Into a law null and got scored for f 'sJUO or 110,000 how they would enjoy St. It would keep one half the taxpayers digging Mineral all the time to keep tlieir poascatalons from being sold by the, new sheriff. Now add to this their .likJofLnne and Douglas county's Indebti-dneaas and tlieir burden of hsp- pinewi will surely be complete. While a county seat at Cottage Orove would 1j convenient for a few, do thorn few think that the taxpayers In the extreme eastern or extreme western ends of Ijine county will sanction this move, which will Increase their taxes without inv corresponding benefit? ,Most cerudnly not. They now hs ve Vioin three to five times the distance to travel to the county -nl that Cottage Orove p-ople have. It Is plain to be seen that there Is no sense of Justice or propriety in this move In fiicreaalng expanses in Utb count li-nsnd part leu larly to thoae residing In the propod new county. iikx.

TheQi lacburg Review has the fol lowing concerning this case: The Haiiili'm-ltniwii case was the longest of the lute term and occupied four full days with evening scmlolis. K. 11. Preble and J. W. Hamilton ap peared for the plaintiff, and A. C. Woodcock, of Eugene, and L. F. Ijiiic and W. 1L Willis, for the l fi n.lunt, and the Imiics were Hublntrnly content ed. The plaintiff, Sanders, alleged in his complaint that he was employed by the Myrtle Creek Mining Company and hnd his leg broken by a fulling tree while working at the "front. Dr. I W. lircwn, president of the Mill Ttt Comiwny, ulteiiiled him, and It la uncged, Uiil not treat him according to the iiKwit eullKhtenetl ideas of mirgcry. One umterial allegntlon was that for thirty days cold water wns conatantly jxiuretl uimiii the Injured limb to allay the liiiiummiitloii and reduce the swelling, with the o fleet of tlnnlly kilt- I .. ..... . a i . log mo itnii niiu enuaiug gniigir'iiu w G set ill. Other luntalices of inUtP'Bt- metit, such as pulling at the leg to counteract the contraction of the cords, limbvd of putting lu an extension, as the doctors call It, pro ducing a steady weight. Finally the patient was brought to Iloncburg and Drs. O.la and Colfmaii finding that the foot wns gnngrened, amputated the leg and he In due time recovered. Kan den then begun a milt against Dr. Hrown for the sum of $ll,0ou damages suntalncd by the loss his leg. The answer of the iicfciidnnt denied all the material allegations of the com plaint and set up that the plaintiff had been pros.rlv treated and cared for. On the side of the plalntiir Drs. Or.lns, Cotfman, llrtidlcy and Miller of this city gnve expert testimony, and for the defense Drs. Sharpies, l'nvton and Loom In, of Eup'ttc, llnmmelf, of Cottage Orove, and liunnell, of this city, enlightened the Jury with their knowledge of surgery as applicable to the case In point. The examination of theoe experts occupied much time sud the attorneys consumed an entire dny In Humming up. The cone was given to the jury Monday at 6 p. m. and two hours later they returned with a verdict of 3000 ami costs for plaintiff. We understand that the first ballot In the Jury room stood, eight for 150110 damage, three for 13000 and one for f200. They all agreed that Dr. limwn did not inallclounly mistreat tlnQilalntiil. A motion for new trial was tiled and If It Is denied the case will be nppcalcd to the su preme court.

SaJuii Htatenman: The state board of equali zation occupied tho dsy yestertluy In connlderlng the eualiatlon of assess ment on money, notes, accounts, mer chan llse, and imidements, Improve ments, houfMiold furniture, etc. Judge Moreiand of l'ortlund was nnwetit and sddnwMHl the board, saying he be lieved mortgages should b asw-ssed ex actly on the same basis as all other real protierty; that If mortgages were tnscsnetl at 100 twr cent, all town and city pron-rty should be rained at leant 20 per cent to cor- -xnd. He doubted the advlnablly ofiuMesslng mortgages at full value. Attorney General Chamls-rlain appeared before the board, in mqmnse to an Invi tation, and stated that the law coii plated that all real properly, Including mortgagee, should be aacMcd'at full value. He further said that he be lieved M at the Itoard had the power to add UMir deiluct from the several clanm-s of n-al property such per centum as would bring the projierty to Its full value. q Law Suit.

This will make a coun ty with about 750 square miles while a coimtltutioiial county required by the constitution of Oregon Is but 400 square miles The reu'is urged tor liio formation nf a new county are, that Lane county la entirely too large, that the farming nectlons of Ijwi county are compelled to pay for Improvement whie'i can never ln of any benefit to thenin the least. We migh as well pay for Im provements In California for all the Leiiellt they anCo the people In this end of the county. We have been comtH-llcd to help imy for two or three bridges across the Ulameito river or which we have received no benefit of any consequence, not that the bridges are not a iiecesHity, but we complain of being coincllcd UOhelp pay out money In taxes forever and gel no pen- efltsofll. It 175,000 or fliKMXO was ernn-nili-d for that section of country Mould It be anything more than right that they should Im taxed lu proimr tlon to whnt we were taxed for their Improvement anil that money used for Improvement in this end of the comity. Hut has anyone heard ofu? appropria tion for Improvements In this section of the county? Instead of building two bridges so clone to i-.iigcne would It not have been the fair thing to have built one of thctn iienn-'Jthts end of the county. At the present time If there are tome delliKiuciit taxes In the southeast end of the county which is prrhniw fifty miles foui Eugene, a deputy sheriff is sent down to collect it and if there are fifty of them he charges upaseimrnto trip for each man and above this he gets a percentage of the collection. As a consequence the sheriff gets a good deal more money than thecounty docs. This is certainly an outrage on me peo ple. We are called upon (o swallow a 25 mill tax for this year onN.0iM of property which amounts to f 200,000. This f2(V),000 if all collected, drawn out In coURty warrants, dlncouutcd at ten per ccrA cuts off $20,000; these war rants draw eight per cent Interest, which cut off $10,000, making a total of $.MI,000 paid In by the people ror which no Wjt.lta are derived by any one except We men who hang around the court house to buy up tnese war rants. They are reaping a rich liar vent. Taking into coiinideratlon the delinquent taxes and the cost or col lecting them there Is not over $1:10,000 or the $200,000 actually avsilublo ror county purjK)ses. or eoume a county warrant represents its lace vniue, uu any contract nudwlth the county the present value or warrants are taken Into ensidcral Ion and bids are made accordingly. It Is a shame and a dis grace that the warrant oT any vounty should be worth less than par. Tbs proponed in county of Mitch ell could be run very economically. We would have no costly bridge or Improvements or nny kind. A court house for this new county costing six or seven tliouaand dollars wouiu uu very nicely for several year, xei when we are asked to help pay for a court hou at Eugene, costing no les than $150,000: if we object, this may be considered selllHhncss and lealousuesa. Wlistevtr Itmay lie called we most seriously object to our money being uned to count ruct sehutea to run the people of the county Intoone point We have no objection to the people of Eugene build ing Junt as fine a court houe as they wlh. It will be very nice. It will Increase the value of their property 50 percent The bridge already con structed will compel that portion eat of the river to come to their city. Hut the mr.tu-r that now confronts us Is the danger of tho proxjsed new county otMlucral becoming a law in the coming leglalature. Should the bill lie isMM-d then the last ray of hope will have panned away for us to get loons from the elephant we have on our hands. We hereby call on every man who has any Interest In this pro posed county to work w Uh all tluir might for this division.
