attend to tlielr political business, there
will be no need of "smashing county

County Division.
Eugene, Dec. 20.
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.

The Hrown Case.
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.

20 per cent to cor- -xnd. He doubted
the advlnablly ofiuMesslng mortgages
at full value. Attorney General

plated that all real properly, Including
mortgagee, should be aacMcd'at full
value. He further said that he be

The Citizens of Junction Alto to Want
He County Sat, and Inane
an Address.
At n meeting of the citizens nf Juno
I lou City, Decemls-r 2S, to locate the
boundary line of tho proponed new
county of Mitchell, C. W. I-amnon,
Wm. l'itiicy and C. A. Harp were an-
IMiinted tut a committee to make a
ntntement to the people and taxpayers
r our noMiP ,n In this matter, ibere-
fore the coiiimitlee submit herewith
the flowing for a careful consldera
liou of every tax payer:
It is proponed to form the new eoun
fy of Mitchell out of the territory lying
w ithin the follow ing boundaries: lie-
ginning at the Intersection of the town
ahip Hue between townahlps sixteen
and seventeen with the center of the
main channel of tho Willamette river:
thence following the meandering of
the main channel of tho Willamette
river down to the Intersection of the
townnhlp line between towunhlps thir
teen and fourteen with the center or
the main channel of the Willamette
river; thence following suld townnhlp
line to the Pacific ocean; thence follow- .
lug the count in a southerly direction to
Hie Intersection of the townnhlp line
Isdwceii townsliliis sixteen and seven
teen and the Pacillc ocean: thence fol
lowing suld townnhlp Hue to the point
of beginning. 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.
