The writer who said that Oregon could not raise the finest quality of apples should read the reports that come from San Francisco to the effect that the people of the fid Winter fair are going crazy over the Oregon apple, and the smallest specimens are sold at five cents each. A carload would sell as fast as they could be unloaded at that Ftrtiipr, The original cost of the carriage factory property, bought at Corvallls auction by Mr. Brace, was about $70,000. He paid $19,601 for it The Times says: "The loss fell upon the creditors, who were not in the pool with Mr. Rrace and upon the stockholders, whose entire paid up capital of $47,000 together with the earnings of one year's business done by the concern, said to have been $13,000, were swept nway The loss tears a great whole iu the earthly belongings of some of our citizens' and is very much to be regretted The $19,601 that the property brought was just $1 more than enough to pay off the mort gage held on the property by tii Portland bank." 'IJach year the local paper gives from $500 to $s, 000 in free lines to the community in which it is lo cated. No other agency can or will do this. , The editor, in proportion to his means, does more for his town than any other ten men,- and in all fairness with men he ought to be supported-not because' you like or admire his writings, but be cause the local paper is the best investment a community can make, It may riot be brilia'ntly edited tfr crowded with thought, but finaiv cially it is of more benefit to the. community than the' t6Schers or preachers. Understand met I do not mean mentally of morally; but financially, and yet On the moral question you will find mtfst of the local papers on the right side. To day tne editors oi the local papers do the most for the least money of any people on the face of the earth . ' ' From the speech by Governor Crittenden 1 : " It proposed to change the present libel law at the next session of the legislature. Under the' present law of both Oregon and Washington, if au unintentional mistake fs made in the publication of a news item the publisher is subjected tp damages and imprisonment.' This is grievously unjust and opens the '.he courts to tie uses of blackmailers and shyster lawyers. . In most, of the Eastern states the libel law has been amended so as to provide that a person who is aggrieved by the publication of an article in a news paper must first serve notice on the publisher demanding a retraction before he can institute , proceedings against the paper. If the. retrac tion is forthcoming within three days from the time of service, there is no ground for action.' . There is now a bill before the. legislature of New York, says the Telegram, which will be passed, amending the libel laws of that state in' this par ticular. In the best regulated newspaper otnees tnere . $tr!, times when an article will escape the at tention of the. editor or majiager and find its way into rjrint.' ttnay be libelous in in its nature and yet the intent to libel, which is the essential ingredient to .constitute a crimeis lacking.' Vhui a mis take ot this kind occurs,, it is but just that the law . shoul f give the offender a chance to fnafce a re traction or explanation. The, (ttw should be confined to the punish unent of willful and malicious libel. The Oregoniau says that the coun- j ty seat fight is warming up in Lin- coin county. We really ha not 110- ticed it vet. "lie has gone to a much happier home." That was the conclusion of an obituary, and it sounds all right, but the widow was touchy and sued him for $10,000 for slan der. She f?ot all the editor had .-- . The value of milch cows increas ed over $3,000,000 iu the United States during 1893. They are the only class of stock that have not decreased in value. This indicates that the American farmer is begin ing to realize the profits to be made from well kept milkers. Ex. One of the worst abuses, says the Eugene Guard, in the management of the financial affairs of Oregon is that of" the state printing office. During the fiscal years 1887 a"d 1888 the office cost the state $38, 000. For 1892 and 1893 the ex' pense to the state was swollen to the enormous sum of $196,000. A bill to abolish the postal notes now 111 use passed both houses of congress. Instead of postal notes the new bill creates a money order system by. which orders can be se cured at rates as low as those now charged bj' express companies, For orders not exceeding $2.$o the charge is three cents, and . the fee increases until it is thirty cents for sums over $75 and" under $100 On. the 1st of next July is fixed as the date for the new law to take effecti In a circular issued by ' the Cal ifornia board of health the follow ing in regard to cigarette smoking is addressed to principals and teach' ers iu the public schools: "To be au habitual smoker of manufactured cigarettes is to be an opium smoker and a habitual opium smoker can not be the equal of an abstainer; when everything else was equal. Under no circumstances should a pupil be allowed to smoke them either at school, on the way to or from school,- or at home, if the teacher', by admonition, advice, precept, example, or by influence can prevent it. 4 . Here' is another way to' figure that present ownership book busi ness. The original roll contained a valuation 0930,000. The con tractors found about $200,000 worth of property not 6'n the original roll. This makes $1,130,000 valuation, which at a ten mill levy makes a total of $11,300 in the county fund,' Now the clerk's records show that the regular assessment for 1893 cost the county $334. The contractors get $2,200, if they found $200,000 wort,h of .property. This makes a total of $3,034 for one year's tfssess- ments, of more than one-fourth of the whole amount of the countv fund This is to say nothing of the wood; oil, toom rent and county stationery usd by . contractors The whole .thing will no doubt equal one-third of the entire county fund for one year. Dr. Hallock, pastor of the First Congregationalist church of Ta' coma, delivered a sermon on Sun day last, in part as follows: Good citizenship demands fidelity In registering and voting. Good citizenship demands the honest pay ment of taxes without concealment. It is a self-evident truth to him who is willing to see, that to take a public dollar is as wrong as to steal a neighbor's dollar, and to withold that which is due the public treas ury is as truly theft as to abstract that which is already in. Good citizenship demands catholicity, liberty," equal rights and perfect toleration. Old Rome at least gained toleration for all religions and scored one in the grand march toward true civilization; let us not) go back td thatl Scrooby demands t, and traversed Holland and the seas to win it. Plymouth Rock re ceived it, and America has been its arena. Intolerance would mark a return of the dark ages. fhe Albany Heiald has . discov ered an "erroneous mistake." We wonder if the Herald ever met with a mistake that was not erroneous. Number 4. He Should Resign. Dr. Applewhite should immed iately resign his position as a mem ber of the board of regents of the State agricultural college and treas-. urerofthat institution. Guilty or innocent of the charge made against him he should resign. It may seem unfair toward him if he be innocent of the charges made, but the fact is, the welfare of the college and thu hundreds of students of both sexes which attend it is of infinitely more value and worth than one mail, ft is absolutely necessary for the wel fare of all concerned that the regent of the college, and all others offic ially connected with it, should ba men absolutely above suspicion and honorable and upright to the utmost degree. The unfortunate occurren-' ces which have taken place have im paired Dr. Applewhite's usefulness to the college, and he owes it to all interests concerned to resign. If the charges are false his vindication will be correspondingly greater and if they are true he has no business to be connected with any education - Ul iiiaiiluuuii An Indian from the reservation" dropped into a certain Klamath county town last week and proceed ed to an undertaking establish' nienf arid ordered a coffin for a rehv tive. The indian handed the dealef a string to indicate the length of the desired casket, and the latter not having one long enough, slyly cut the string td fit the short box The Indian paid his money and taking string and coffin, hastened" back to the reservation. A larg crowd of sympathizing and wailing natives were tin hand when the corpse was put 'in the coffin, but what was the consternation of the Indians when they discovered that the dead "Injun'' had increased iri size nearly a foot since his demise. The Indians were overcome with superstition and wondered greatly, . but finally knocked out one end of' the coffin and piocecded with the' burial. We are not informed whether th; Indian's head or fee t are sticking out in the cold, cold ground. Klamath Falls Express. One reform that is sadly needed in Oregon is a reform in the system1 of making assessments. The pres ent system of assessing is cumber some; costly and inadequate. The precinct assessors plan possesses1 many advantages over the present system; The precinct assessor would be acquainted with all the taxpayers and Have a practical knowledge of all the property in his1 precinct, and the felative value' thereof; Very little, if "any, prop;, erty would escape the assessor, and the assessment of the whole county would be made in thirty days in stead of dragging along until Oc tober with a subsequent supple- : mental roll Of sheriff assessments to', be made. It is to be . hoped that the next legislature will enact a re form Iri this matter. , . . ... . As taxpaying continues the out cry against noh-exemj)tion for in- debtedness merges into a long, loud wail.' Many people whose valua tion has been about a thousand dol- lars.and have always taken out; their exemptions, thus cuttiug; their taxes down to, threi p'r fottr dollars, look glodmlly down their, noses when they are asked to pay, takes on the fnll amount of their, valuation. This causes them to, dig up $18 or $20. Of course the old law was taken advantage of in' . a scandalous manner, but it is a, real hardship to compel a man who, is struggling along under a -heavy load of debt to pay the taxes on it. Hon. :.
