A Stupiit Law.
The present state law making
taxes delinquent April 1st is a
stupid one, an 'I it is high time" it
waschunged. December ist would
be Unbent dale, when money is
always more plentiful. If a person
ever had any money it is then.
The crops have been garnered and
the payment for same has been re"
ceived, All kinds of obligations
generally are squared up by this
- : x-. or U-c
emiy t.pHiig liioiims me aaveise is
true. These are borrowing months.
The cash assets of nearly - everyone
has dwindled down to nothing and
money is tight. It is the worse
time of the year foi such a heavy
draw as taxes. The next session
of the legislature should amend
this law. And in this connection
they should at the same time pro
vide that assessors be appointed by
the county courts This is too im
portant a matter to be left to chance.
There is no other county office
which requires such peculiar char
acteristics on the part of the in
cumbent as county assessor. A
good assessor is never popular he
is too inquisitive, too prying. A
convention may put Up .ft. brainy
iii'an and a popular, but he may
make a very poor assessor. The
county court, recognizing who
would be most valuable for this
duty, and w ishing to make the best
'administration possible, would
make a better choice than any con
vention. Dallas Chronicle.
The London Timber Trade Jour
nal says:' "T''e .Dock company
are now using a pl.ink of sawft
Oregon pine, brought over by the
sailing ship, "Starbuck," another
of the neglected fleet lying useless
against the quay-side waiting for
something to 'turn up,' The plunk
in question is four feet wide and
sixteen ftet long, without a single
knot, and is to form the top of the
new board room table at the Dock
office, and is certainly one of the
finest pieces of Oregon pine in the
ducks.' These j-n;ions yield any
quantity of such dimensions, and
will, by and by, play a more im
portant part in our supply, when
means are fo'u'id. rtf reducing the
freight charges."
C. P. Huntington, the Southern
Pacific magnate, is quoted as say
ing, "that if the government does
not accept the present bill before
congress',' postponing' the time of
payment of the Central Pacific debt,
or extend the time of payment of
bonds to a reasonable fitulod,'" the
probability is that the first mort
gage bond holders will take the
road. If, on the other hand," he
said, "reasonab'e tinle is given to
to meet the obligations, and for the
proposed new issue of bonds to be
made, the government will receive
every dollar clue instdeof sixty days
after the bonds are issued."
This leads one to wonder who is
running this country, anyway.
A bold sclien'e for obtaining
mechanical power for industrial
purposes has lately attracted attcn
tion in England. It contemplates
the construction of a dam ij miles

Ireland aciuss iSortti Channel to
the extremity of Cantire, Scotland,
and putting in several gates and
water wheels, to be worked by the
tides. Owing to the greater depth
of the ocean than the Irish ea, and
to tlie treer course affor 'ed west
and north 0 Ireland, tlie tide comes
up from the South Atlantic by that
route, and flows southward through
the passage just mentioned long
before it can gej tip the,re on the
east side of the gr'eu fcir2 ..The
estimated cost of the undertaking
is $10,000,000, and the time named
as necessary lor construction is
three years..
A new route of travej has been

The United States civil service
commission announces that the
supply of male stenopraphers and
typewriters for the department ser
vice at Washington is not equal to
the demand, and there are requisi
tions now which can not be filled
for want of eligible persons. Ap
pointments to these places are usu
ally at salaries of $1,000 per year or
less. There will be an examina
tion in Portland on April 23rd, at
which persons dc-'ri" to co'tipe to
suvii pu.3i1.iuus may be examined.
Those who desire to take the ex
amination should write to the civil
service commission, Washington,
D. C. , and obtain application blanks
and pamphlets of instructions. . The
clerk copyists examination will
have to be taken as a basis, and
there will be practical tests in. sten

positions were open to women there
would be no trouble about filling
them.
Under the head of "Promising
New Fruits," in the report of Hon.
J. M. Rusk, secretary of agricul
ture, "" tSo-j. appears a description
ofthelling cherry, originated by
Seth Lewelling, of Milwaukie, ac
companied bv a very handsome
colored plate which does full justice
to this cherry in every respect ex
cept as to size. The description
says that tlie Biug is the largest
cherry ever received at that office.
In quality it is classed as very good,
and is also pronounced tin excellent
hipper; season, first hdlf of July
in Oregon. For comparison with
the Ring an illustration is given on
the same page of the Napoleon, a
popular old. vfirsety of European
origin, widely grown in California
and Oregon under the name of
'Royal Ann." This is a fine pic
ture of the Royal Ann, but in size
not equal to many, cherries of that
kind seen here. In the same ar
ticle appear descriptions of the
'Matilda," "Quaker," "Vesta"
seedling cherries, originated by C.
E. Ilosklns, of Newburg. Oregon
is likely to maintain its Mupremacy
over all other states in the matter
of big aiid fine cherries.
A petition was filed in. the circuit
court this weelc' by tyollfs' JlNasU,
attorney for William Laird Law, of
Oaklaildj California, showing that
petitioners is the owuer and .holder
of receiver's certificates of the Ore
gon Pacific, issued by Ti Ei Hogg,
to the extent of $26,000, which
certificates are a part of the total
amount of $150,000 issued for the
purchase of the steamship Willa
mette Valley. These certificates
were made' a first lien upon the
vessel and are over due and entire
ly unpaid. Said petitioner is also
the holder of other certificates ag
gregating jti2,ooo. The petition
further stales that three separate
actiong brought by A. W. Swinner-
ton, and one brought by Sanford
Bennett are How pending ill the
supreme court of San Francisco
county, California, against the Ore
gon Pacific railroad company 1 Said
Swinnerton as assignee of a number
of local creditors of said company,
has caused the Willamette Valley
to be attached to satisfy their claims.
If these parties succeed in their ac
tion, the tloamcr wiii be sold with
out reference to the tights of p'oti
tio'ner, who is desirous of foreclos
ing his lien on the vessel, and its
order to enforce it, it is necessary
for him to be allowed to interplead,
and asks that Charles Clark, the
present receiver, be permitted to
inplead in these several actions.
Upon reading pet- tion Judge Fuller
ton granted the oder as prayed tor,
allowing petition -r to bcin pro
ceedings for the purpose of fore
closing his lieu.
