The "right of.way" Kuitn in thin
county have developed tliefact that land
in Jnckroncounty haataken an nonii-h
ing jump upwards in value within the
last year. There must be. the biggest
kind of a boom in real estates for re
frpectab'e citizens go on the witness
ttatid and hwear that lanus that have
been assessed within a year for ten
dollars er acre, and never valued by
their owners higher than twenty dol
lars, are now worth forty, fifty, fcixty
and a hundred dollars per acre. Thit
information proves one of two thin;,':
either that the nssessor in incompetent
or afraid to lis the "actual value" of
land as required by law or that the
railroad conbtruction has "boomed up"
land to fancy and fa'ctitiou figures.
If the first reason is tight the avessor
bbould resign. If the t-econd is the
correct one and lands have trebled in
value with the end of the road still
fifty miles distant we espect to be
living among a whole community of
roillionaries when it hha'l have reached
us. Land is no more productive than
a " year since. There have been no
showers of guana to increase its fer
tility and, in truth,- crops are lighter
than ever but; owing to an important
public work furnishing a market, the
light crop of this jear is just as val
uable as the heavy one of last. We
believe in even justiee and must asciibe
this extraordinary rise in land to the
fact that the near approach of the rail
road makes the alleged valuo possible
but this addition to the wealth of the
county at large seems to have no
weight with juries. AH men are pre
sumed to be as fair off the wit net's
stand as on it and we would like to
know if those gentlmen who rule land
so high under circumstances where
they are not losers aie willing to have
their own land assessed at the rates
tbey fix for that of. their neighbors
and if the assessor dare take them at
the'r word! Probably not. Unfortu
nately there is a disposition to pluck
the railroad company because it has
money and, what is alill more un
fortunate, many innocent people
wh.ise property is depreciated by the
railroad construction will have to foot
the bill. The game of pluck is generally
a double one aral, perhaps, every
feather taken from the 'company will
be replaced- by a handful from our
selves.
Caclc Bont-
We are glad to live in a judicial dis
trict presided over by a iudge wlio has
back bone and that is just the case
with Judge Ilanna. An officer of his
c urt disobeyed a temporary writ of in
juncticm issued to stay a mandate of
the Supreme court until argument
could be heard in a case that impeached
the integrity of Justice Lord. The
Supreme court with haste that lacked
decency and showed petulant irritation
instead of the coil judgment expected
of that august tribunal ordered the
hesitating sheriff to enforce its man
date and he did bo at the rick of con
tempt for the court that he was pri
marily bound to obey. Judge Hanna
has properly resented this indignity In
ordering the sheriff to undo what he
has done in the premises, and has im
posed a fine on the party for whom the
sheriff was acting.
The Supreme court might have had
decency and dignity enough to await,
the result of the complaint against one
of its members but it did not ami we
commend Judge Hitina for asserting
the dignity and jurisdiction of his own
court as he shou'd.
Uew Would It Work?
There is bo much complaint among
property owners regarding inequal tax
ation owing to the incompetence or lack
of independence of assessors that we
have a plan to propose that might work
well. First: a State Board of Equali
zation. Second: assessors appointed by
the Governor each assessor to serie in
a differentcounty from that in which he
resided the work of all to be reviewiti
by the state Board. Then; valuations
of real estate might more nearly ap
proximate, an equitable figure and the
assessors, not dependent on popular
favor nor swayed by fear of offending
neighbors, might do their duty fairly
all over the state. "Actual cash value''
as contemplated by the law is the only
fair basis of taxation. If it is strictly
applied to every species of property it
will not wrong any one and it must be
acknowledged that the larger the- ai
tsessment roll tho ama'.ler the tax levy.
Justice to all should be the rule-in
other words we believe in tarring
hoUlets of all kinds of property with
the same stick..

cline in Wall street. Ain't it too bad!
KLDICKR rOSTACE.
Postmaster Midler has received a
circular in relation to the reduction in
postage from which we take the fol
lowing: On and after the first day of Octo
ber, 1883, the rate of postage on do
nirstic mail matter of the first class
will be reduced from three cen.s to
two ctnU per half ounce or fiction
"'ereof, as provided by the act of Con
gre ppproved March 3, 1883.
The Department has adopted a new
design for the two cent stamp the
head --f Washington in profile, from
Unudori'n bust, lirint. placed on a plain
tablet; above the oval surrounding the
head are the words ' United Slates
Postage," and
underneath the tablet
the wordi "Two Cent." The
clamps will be printed in metallic red.
'J'Iik enilxissed st-imps on the two cent
stamped envelopes will also bear the
head of Washington.
A four-cent denomination of postage
s'anip and stamped envelope, to cover
doub'e postage under the new rate, will
also be issued. The deigu rmbrac

the present two cent stamps and en

The Department will revisa the
schedule of prices of stamped envelope
by discontinuing the three o-nt en
velopes, and substituting two cent anil
four-cent envelopes as may be neces
sary. The price of the envelope-,
however, exclusive of the postage, will
remain the same as on the existing
schedule for like sizes, and qualities.
A copy of the new schedule will ac
company this circular.
No change will be made in the post
age due stamps.
The two and three cent stamps and
stamprd envelopes of the present de
sicns will continue to be valid atter
the first of October, and must be ac
cepted in payment of postage when
ever oflered in appropriats amounts
The three-cent stamps may be-used in
combination with other denominations
on letters requiring more, than one
rate of postage, and on parcels of third
and fourth-class matter.
The new twcent stamps anl
stamped envelope must not be placed
on sale by postmasters or used befoie
the first day of October, 18S3
Speoial request envelopes r.f the new
design, supplied before October 1st,
will be charged and accounted for un
der existing regulations; but such
envelopes must not be used piior to
that date.
The. drop letter rate of postage will
remain the same as now that in, two
cents per half ounce, or fraction there
of, at free delivery offices, and one cent
at all other offices; and no changes arp
made in the rates of postage on second,
third, and fourth-class matter.

were occupying the same Had, some
mining and oilier gardening, but he
suppressed their threatened piolests
by promising them deeds and when he
received his patent he "knew them

of the oath taken and, if proved, will

Mr. Wm. Jones, manager of the Ish
ranch, informs us that the yield of that
place this season is only 7,500 bushel
while at least 15,000 was anticipated
but he says it it really more protitxhle
at ruling prices than double the ield
would be at last years rates. John
Walson realizes 3 J busheU of wheat
to the acre for spring sown grain which
was plowed in and consequently stood
the drouth well. A field of Mr. Kimes
has yielded about the came and we
hear of many others as high as 40
I ushels to the acre. This is far from
indicating a failure and there is every
assurance of plenty in the valley.
