Therd are two very Important ques tions which seems to agitate the minds of the people here; one the building of a free bridge across Rogue river on or near Mr. Donegan's farm. This I think, Mr. Editor, should meet the ar proval of all right thinking people, but more especially our Honorable Board of Commissioners, and cause this high tariff, whichis annually imposed upon the farming community and traveling public in general by those two ferrys, to be speedily done away with. They not only impede travel with their high tolls but consume what little produce the farmers raise before they can get it to market, where they exchange it for their necessary wants there being no store or grist mill in tins precinct people are necessarily compelled to patronize these public impositions. oecond. is by aiioiving sneep, fspeciall; J . - . . -. . . ... i dose vireased, io rouge TaTlarge, com- ing in contact with Other bands and thereby causing them to become the samo, and which I think has a tenden cy to disease the grass and causes all other stock to abandon their range.

AXOTUER I'lOSEEK CONE, One by one the old pioneers of this fatate are passing away to the silent and unseen land beyond the grave. Only a few days ago it became a sad duty to chronicle the death of Col. Dryer, whose namo is so immediately associated with the early political his of Oregon; and now tho unpleasant task of recoropag the demise of another old-riioneeWwfew upon- -t Tlw many friends of Capt. Benjamin E, Smith will be pained to learn that he has peacefully passed away. Ctpt. Smith was stricken down with paraly sis a few days ago, and died Saturday moming at 5 o'clock, at his residence on Taylor street Capt. Smith was one of the old pioneers of this, state. He came to Portland in 1851, having sailed around the Horn in the brig "Francisco," in wliich vcssjl he had owned a large interest. He had com mand of that vessel for a number of years, which ran between Portland and San Francisco. About the year 1860 Capt. Smith disposed of his in terest in the brig and retired from the sea. Since that time he has been cn naced in the lime commission busi neessin this citv. Capt Smith came to Oregon from Massachusetts, of which state he was a native. He was in the 75th year of his age at the time of his death. He was a man of very temperate habits and was hale and hearty up to the time he was seized with paralysis, which in a few days terminated his earthly existence. Capt. Smith was a very honorable man in all the relations of lifo, a kind husband and father, and a good citizen. His death will be greatly regretted by a large circle 01 mencaj anu acijuaia- a so the stxr costs lam'v An examination of the new census law shows that some of its provisions havo been incorrectly, or indistinctly reported. The' law provides for the appointment by the) President of one or more Supervisors of Census in each State-and Territory, the whole number not to exceed 150. Each Supervisor ia chatrsLaj.nivg ctVss. d'ltiea.' with that of proposing to the Superintend ent of the Census at Washington the apportionment of his district into subdivisions most convenient for the purpose of enumeration, arid td desig1 nate to the Superintendent of Census suitable persons, and with the consent of said Superintendent, to employ such persons as enumerators within his dis trict, one for each subdivision, and res ident therein, who shall be selected solely with reference to their fitness, and without reference to their politi cal party affiliations, according to the apportionment approved by the Super intendent of Census. The enumera tors are responsible to the Supervisor, and each 'Supervisor to the Superin tendent of Census. Each Supervisor is to receive 500 in full for all servi ces rendered and expenses incurred, except that an allowance for clerk hire may be made at the discretion of the Superintendent Of course, the Gov ernment furnishes all blanks, instruc tions, etc. The law prescribes the du ties of the enumerators and the infor mation they aro to obtain very fully. The subdivision assigned to any enum erator shall not exceed 4,000 inhabit ants, according to the census of 1870, nor shall any such subdivision contain less than 3,000 inhabitants in any case where the last preceding census shows the number of inhabitants thereof. Tho boundaries of all subdivisions shall be clearly described br civil divisions. ' p -aa rriiT-tt"-:r .-jarw easilr distinguished, lines. Enumera tors East of the Rocky Mountains are to receive no more than 4 per work ing day and those West of the moun tains S6 per day for actual field-work. In lieu of this per diem, the Superin tendent of the Census, in subdivisions where he shall deem such allowance sufficient, may allow enumerators not exceeding" two cents for each living in habitant, two cents for each death re ported, 10 cents for each farm, and 15 ettts for each establishment of pro ductive industry enumerated and re- turned.-t in fall compensation for all services." Enumenttors are required to take an oath for the faithful per formance of theirtduties, and a penalty is affixed for violating the same, as also for the refusal of any person to give the information required by law. This information is to be furnished by the heads of families, or in tho absence of a head of a family, by any member over 20 years of ago, and in tho case of corporations And companies by any authorized officer. The inquiries em brace those used in the last census, with many important additions, and the census, when complete, will present much tho most complete exhibit of the population, wealth, business and social condition of the country that has over been made. The act appropriates 53,000,000 as- the maximum cost of the census, exclusive of printing.

There is nd subject of more; impor tance to the people of Lakd county at this time, than that of taxation, and in this connection, nO greater wrong has been dono to tha people, than has accured from the manner in which the lands of the California & Oreeon Land Comrwusv have been as sessed. This "company di monoj have about 30,000 acres of land in t7d vcounty4 wliich comprise a great body of tho finest in the county. It is trud that some of theso lands aro not, just at this time') remarkably valuable, be ing isolated from the more thickly peo pled settlements, yet thousands of ncre3 are located in the magnificent forests, which ere long, Will prove of greatar value than even their finest agricultur al tracts. These lands have been unU formly assessed at forty cents per aero without regard to kind or quality. Many of our people are chagrined at being assessed for lands, from five to ten dollars, while tracts belonging to this company, lying contiguous to them and of exactly the same character, and just as valuable, are assessed at forty cents. Is there any justice in this! Our people declare with emphasis: No This company of prominent capitalists chiefly of California, declare they will not pay more, and we aro now shown by them that even that paltry sum they will not pay, if from any excuso no matter how trivial, they can avoid it They declare that much of their? lands are comparatively worthless lying upon tho mountains and barren table lands, and that more than an equalized tax on an assessment of for ty cents would be disastrdus to them. Now let us see: certainly we aro as competent to make an estimate as these prominent capitalists, who, of irnrr-1 .-iSBSSMiBaai - -' lation. as events nave shown, for a mere selfish purpose. "We can safely say that there are 100,000 acres of these lands, which, as compared with other lands, held and assessed at S2 50 per acre, are reasonably worth that Rum, while much of them are worth a much larger amount Of the remain ing 200,000 acres, the Government price, SI 25 per acre, U a reasonable value for assessment. Now we will see what revenue the county should derive from theso lands properly as sessed. One hundred thousand aeres at 52 50, would give 250,000. Two hundred thousand acres at SI 25, gives us a like sum, making a grand total of $500,000. The last levy of tax in this county was twenty mills on thd dohar. and taking tho foregoing as r. just value for assessment, tho tax of this company of capitalists should havo been 10,000, whereas, they wero only taxed 2,700, a difference of 7,300 and yet theso greedy vultures are endeavoring to avoid the small sum of S2,700. Truly there is an un paralleled exhibition of cheeky selfish ness, which should put to shame, this company of capitalists who boast of their millions. We know much of theso lands and speak of their value from personal knowledge, and do not believe that we have over-rated their value. But'for the sake of comparison we will say that they aro worth one third less, ajui then the uiuoTTnV the county would ba 0,066j, against the' 'present 2,700 as assessed, or l,t)96 as offered by this company of land "sharks. Again, these lands are constantly increasing in value, yet they declare the taxes shall not be in creased. Is it possible that a for eign corporation niav, with impu nity dictate to the people of Ore gon tho amount tf taxes they will pay, on such immense tracts of real estate held by them within our border Shall we, the citizens, be subjected to such a disgraceful im position? Shall we be forced to keep up the prosperity of this monopoly in our midst, which is & drawback and hinderance to the set tlement and prosperity of the country? Thousand of acres of tho finest lands in tho county belong to this company, and not a foot will they sell at any price. From five to ten dollars have been offered them for lands adjoining the countv seat, and other reasonable values for lands farther removed, yet they refuse to sell, ahd declare theyi will pay no more tax than can be raisj on an assessment ot iorty cents per acre! aO TO KAnLER BROS AND DC?
