Upon motion the meeting adjourned -Total 164 Upon motion the date of the pri manes was fixed to be ield on Satur day, April 2, and the county conven tion on Saturday, April 9, at 10 a. m, From this time on until the conven tion adjourned there was a regular monkey and parrot time on the ques tion of proxies, alternates and in structions. Some held that the elec tion of alternates was not good re publican politics, while others held that it was. Some wanted if only one delegate attended from a pre cinct that he lie allowod to cast the entire vote of his precinct, to the ex clusion of proxies, while others ar gued that there was some kind of property right held by virtue of be ing a delegate from the precinct to the county convention. The genera! feeling of the chairman at the meeting of the members being tha proxies were to be discountenanced while those who held proxies with lew exceptions lavored the proxy representation. A resolution finally passed urging the primaries to select men pledged to attend, and if they could not attend to give their proxies to citizens of the precinct who would attend, and that the resolution be Attorney General Renders Opinion on Inheritance!

Whether thev desired to order a book or not. he tried to pursuade them to eign an agreement anyway. Such i swindling method of doing business al ways results in the lellow, who signs any kind of paper for a stranger, getting the worst of it. Avoid such fakirs like you would smallpox. Glendale News. A fakir of tne same land was in Roseburg two weeks ago and he did business to the amount of $1,000 on a supposed government publication. He worked a very unique scheme and though many of the orders were ob tained by practical fraud when the blanks are signed the parties wil have to pay the money. The Salem Statesman Bays: Attor ney-General Crawford yesterday render ed an opinion in which he holds thnt if person dies in this state possessed of property of the value of ?10,000 or ovor, whether in this stato or any othor, such estate is subject to taxation under the inheritance tax law provided the estate such decedent located in another state consists of 'porsonal property, and that the- str.te can .collect such tax if there is any amount of proporty located in this state upon which a levy can bo made. But bucIi personal property lo cated in another state cannot be brought into this state for taxation unless it bo brought here for the purpose of distri bution. mis opinion was given upon a ques tion which was submitted by State Treasurer Mooro and was in substance: Whether the estate of a persou dying in Multnomah countv, leaving an es tate of fS270 in this .etato and property of the value of f 10,000 in Pennsylvania hould pay an inheritance tax," and the Aiiorney-tjenerai says: "II itie prop- ty m Pennsylvania is not real estate, in my opinion, the estate is liable to pay the tax, and if the Pennsylvania prop erty is realty the estate is-exempt. This opinion, of course, holds goodiin any other county in the etato or in any other stato in the Union. Concluding, tho Attorney-General says: "Section Sao! tho inheritance tax law provides that except as to real estate loca'ed outside of the stato pass ing in fee from decedent owner, all prop erty which was owned by any decedent domiciled within the state at the time of his death is subject to the tax even though such property is situated out side of the state. Section 39 of tho act provides for the assessment and collec tion of said tax." New Mining Field. After years of search a quartz ledge of rock has been discovered on the North Umpqua River. It extends on the south side of the .river nearly two miles, and on tie north side for nearly one mile from the center of the river. Where the river cuts through the ledge it is from fifty to sixty feet wide and gradually tapers in width to the north and south until the ledge is lost. The ledge is clear and well defined for the entire dis tance and seems to dip into the earth at an angle of about 90 degrees iwery claim nas Deen taken up and the prospect work required by law has been done and the papers re corded. We have been requested to withhold the exact location, and the names of the parties who are en gaged in work. A number ol assays of the ore have been made by Den ver assayora and the lowest assay showed 'gold and silver at th rate of $7.50 perwton and the highest; $173.50 in gold, silver and other met als to the ton. The surface ore strata is dark, hard and flinty in ap pearance, but when the depth o: twenty-five feet is reached the ore is nearly white, and soft and can be very easily taken out. It is much softer and can be easily pulverized in fact, one half the force required to crush one ton of Greenback mine or Bohemia mine ore would crush two tons of the North Umpqua ore. The Plaindealer is not much on the boom, but'it believes that within two years' time the development of the property will give employment hundreds of men, who will draw their supplies from Roseburg. We expect within the next five or six weeks be able to make an announcement about the formation of a company with sufficient capital to work the mines and put in machinery during the coming summer.

It is our opinion that tho cracks in tho outer walls have been caused by the sottling of tho building, through insufficient foundation at the outer walls, while the center or celler walls have a solid foundation and have not Bettled correspondingly. Wo would advise that tho front and Vancouver Out of League. tho building bo anchored, by drilling through tho brick wall at a point near tho main arches, and inserting proper bolta throughout tho two sides.

Critchlow, of Salt City, formorly Assistant United States Attorney in Utah, waB the first witness on Friday al Washington, in the 8moot case. Ha re sumed his statment in regard to condi tions in Utah and tho prosecutions of polygamits. An open letter from Moses Thatcher to President Snow in regard to the platform on which he had waged north side dn'hrs campaign for Senator was introduced and Mr. Critchlow roferred to threats which had been made against. Thatcher, in editorials in tho Deseret News. In tho Legislature of 1001 was Intro duced the Evans anti-polygamy bill to limit prosecution for certain classes of offenses. President Snow and Joseph F. Smith were in. favor of the bill, said Mr. Critchlow, and Mr. Smoot was quot ed as recommending that the measure 1)0 left to tho good sense of the people." Tho witness told of the passage of the bill by a vote of 25 to 17 in tho House, tho veto by tho Governor and the sus taining of the veto. In answer to questions, Mr. Critchlow said the Governor was a mormon but that tho sentiment of the country de manded tho veto on tho ground it do- fended the practice of polygamy and pro vented prosecutions of violations of the aw against polygamous cohabitation. Tho veto by tho Governor was put into record. It shows, that the Governor feared the passage of the measure would bo followed by a general demand for a constitutional amendment directed sole ly at conditions in Utah and that the demand would not be ignored. Gover nor Wells said the result would be put tinder a ban. The Evans bill prohibited prosecutions for polygamy except when the husband or wife filed complaint. Following the history of the state down to Mr. S moot's candidacy for the Senate, Mr. Crichlow eaidSmoot an nounced his candidacy for 'tho Senate first in 1900, and that tha announce ment met with opposition from Rep ublicans and others. The objections were manifested, according to the wit ness, at the Sale Lake City elections for members of the Legislature, and in ex pressions from the Ministerial Associa tions of Utah. Mormons a well as non-Mormons were opposed to sending an apostle to the United States Senate, And it was well known to all that th Truths That have enabled us to build up & large Prescription Business We dispense Pure Drugs.

City Hall Not Dangerous. by At request of tho school.board, Con tractor Snook and Architects Alley and Fisher mado a thorough examination of the city hall, Saturday, and pronounced it "safe." "Tho reason of the cracks are," said Mr. Snook, "on account of insufficient foundation and the settling of such por tions of foundations as to caneo tho cor ners over the arches to pull against each other.-' Tho two north corners and the southeast corner have settled in such a manner that the roof weight is support ed mostly by the centers of each of the four walls. Under tho jail the cellar causes the foundation to bo deep enough to keep it from sottling, and on that account the crack through the juil is the largest, as this foundation serves as a brace over which to break the building. The commilte advises thrt tho large bell be immediately removed from the top of the building, as the vibration caused 'by its ringing is injurious lo .the building and cansos it to "rack." They also advise that an iron brace bo put through the north and west walls, drill ing the entire length of tho walls the base of tho arches. This will hold tho building in place, and with the bell re moved the present city hall will stand until it is torn down. Mr. Snook sayp, and tho rest of tho gentlemen agree, that tho building is not dangerous, but, unless care is taken, it will soon go to rack.

ASH & ATT WELL candidacy of Mr. Smoot was not receiv ed with faror. The witness said that laymen in the Mormon Church felt that the candidacy of an apostle would be unwise when it was charged that a quorum of the first presidency and apostles were living in open defiance of the laws against polyg. atnons cohabitation. Mr. Critchlow referred to an alleged interview with Kee-J bmoot which was printed in the Salt Lake Telegram No vember 26, 1902, in which Mr. Smoot is charged with saying that be had no knowledge that any apostlea of tho church were living in polygamous cohab itation. It was stated by the Tele gram that Mr. Smoot was told that if he wanted the information it would be furnished, accompanied by all dates' and facta concerting the marriages. Mr. Worthington objected to tho statement on tho ground that the inter view was denied by Mr. Smoot, and a long colloquy ensued between the counsel and members of the committee which the official reporter was directed to ignore. Later the entire matter was put in the records. Yoncalla. Mr. Will Beckley, a prosperous Doug las county stockman, was doing business in onr town, Thursday.
