Per haps the bustler may occasionally make a mistake, possibly he may over reach in hie efforts to build up the town; but keep him going, help him push. He may become weary and should be encouraged. Don’t get jeal ous of him and throw cold water on bls efforts. It is more difficult to build than to tear down; that is why so many are engaged in destroying what the few are creating. Half a dozen ac tive men in town are worth more to it than a hundred passive men. It takes more enterprise than money to build up a town. Get behind the hustler and keep pushing; don't pullback. If you can't push, crawl out of sight and sit down. If you can't say agood word, s#y nothing. This is Tax=Paying Time. Sheriff Rader and bis deputies have been unusually busy during the past week, many taxpayers availing themselves of rhe opport polity to get the three per ceut rebate for piompt payment. Considerably over half of the total amount on the tax roll has ;ilready been paid. This privilege expired on the 15th. Taxes will be delinquent after the first Monday In April, when a penalty of 10 per ceut and interest at the rate of 12 per cent a year will be charged. A number of people are chagrined to find their taxes higher than usual. This should not be surprising,as state and the county school taxes are nearly double what they were last year, thanks to the last Legislature, which made a number of extravagant appro priations. As a matter of fact, the tax for county purposes is two mills less than it was the year before, so that those administering county af fairs cannot be charged with this in crease of taxes. ------- -------------- *■-------------- —* A Sad Case. Grandma Lewis, widow of John Lewis, who died at Eagle Point about ten days ago, has been com mitted to the insane a.-ylum. She is about 87 years of age and one of the pioneers of Oregon.
