Prof. Nagle landed at Chitwood last Saturday, from Indiana, with his wife and two children. They are delighted with the country and climate and say they have come to str.y. We give tliem a hearty wel come. The more cf that stripe the better. Tbcy are the kind of ac cessions Lincoln county wants. A son of L. F. Pepin made a niiscue with aa ax and by theoper- aiiou lost a rart of his great toe. i He is able to go fishing again. Some are complaining about the weather, but I can't see as that makes any change in it. Crops looks well, with the pros pect of a large crop, except berries. They were damaged about one half by the late frost. If anyone wants blacksmithing done, go to Billy Wilsou, at the Little Elk store. While Eilly is not in the business for the fun of the thiug, his charges are reason able, and his work doue with neat ness and dispatch. June ss, 1894. I Did. MEAT.

Toledo i' r r An Iinportant Matter. Too much stress cannot be laid upon the effort now being made to devise a method or way to prepare the tidelands on the Bay for cultl vatiott. While the ultimate object aimed at i.s the cultivation of the sugar beet, it is not an absolute necessity for this crop to be vated in order to make it pay lorjingon lbdr secolul terms wbile dyking it in. Iii fact the laud will , the balatice of tbe 0fficers are enter more than pay the cost of dyking jh)g t,,e first Qf the ncw officers just in grass alone, and it is equally but two of thci has held county benefitted in any other crop to , ofl-ce 5n Oregon before, Tol. Carter, which it might be cultivated. As t n,,,i . rims. ' Wil- the condition of the land is now, it is not of material benefit to anyone. It simply represents a large body of the richest and most productive laud in tne world going Uirougu a process of yearly waste, because of the lack of a dyke to keep it from overflowing. This land pro duces nothing' but tide hay, which is but a poor quality of grass and hard to get at. As far as being productive of . an income to the owner, the average piece" of tide land is just the reverse. The land would then earn an income to its owner tbove the taxes. But it is said that it is costly and expensive to dyke. This is true. But under the proposition now being consider ed the parties will dyke the land and take their pay in laud at a reasonable price per acre. This brings it down to a question of whether it is better for land owners to have a body of land that is pro ductive of nothing but taxes, or lo be the-tnvne.r; of smaller body of kmHhzl i'tii';Tily productive aod wmuneratfycVThw.ktUeta side of it. We hope. .that every tideland owner on the Bay will gil'e the matter careful study and join heartily into the plan. Should this plan be carried to a successful issue the next three years will wit ness a change in the development of the Bay that will astonish us all. . . A decision in the case of the steamer Willamette Valley has been rendered by Judge Morrow, of the United States dis trict court. Patrick Glecson, Jacob Levi and R. 1). Chandler libeled the vessel fr various amounts, and Deputy Marshals Dean and Burns were placed in charge of her. The vessel is owned by the Oregon Pacific Railroad Company, and the receiver of that r.-.a.l claimed the ship on the ground that the Cali fornia creditors could make their claims good only through the Ore gon courts. Judge Morrow ruled differently, so Marshals Dean and Burns will remain in charge of the Willamette Valley until Glecson, Levi and Chandler are paid. . Kansas, Nebraska and the Dako tas are suffering the blighting effects of another drouth, and the poor farmer of those states is going to suffer untold hardships before an other crop comes around. What a wealth of energy and effort is wast ed in the attempt to build up those countries. How the unsettled parts of Oregon would bloom and blossom as a rose with one half of the effort that is swallowed up in the drouth of those countries, eaten up by their chinch bugs, or blown av.ay by their cyclones.

What a great thing it would be now if the Oregon Pacific railroad were completed to a connection with the Union Pacific at Baker City or Huntington, says the Baker City Democrat. Travel and traffic that are now completely paralyzed on the Oregon Pacific could be cared lor on ine Oregon Pacific to Albany and thence to all points in western Oregon. It is said it will take a million dollars to put the Union Pacific in condition and weeks oj time will be required. Let us all hope and continue to hope that the day is not far distance wheu the O.

A couple of Columbia river fish ermen by the name of Fred Jack son and Klias Miokelson had an ex pcricnci last week that will slay ercen in t'isir rjoruoncs lor some tire, and also ilkitra'.M tho dan gers that beset the fishermen on that mighty river. Captain Winaut of the steamer Baudorille, when off the mouth of the Columbia on the soth in.it., sighted a fishboat cap sized and drifting with a couple of fishermen clinging to it. The steamer picked them up, and as it had the steamer Eva in low it could not easily make a landing until Fouhveather ' was reached, when Captain Winant landed the rescued fisherman at the lighthouse. The fishermen had gotten too close to the Columbia bar and their boat had been capsized and drifted out to the ocean by the mighty current. Wheu picked up the men were about exhausted, and could not have held on much longer.

Number 17. Simplified Assessments. The next legislature of Oregon should simplify the making of as sessments, paiticularly upon real property. The first step that should be made is the creation of precinct assessors. The next step should be to require each county clerk or county recorder, in counties which have such offices, to keep a transfer record of all real estate, transfers made in his county, keep ing these transfers in the smallest known subdivision of the land. From this transfer record, which is really an abstract book of the county, let the clerk make up the assessment roll of real property as it appeared on a certain date, This roll should be made up by descrlp- . tion of property in its smallest sub divisions, and the property assessed to the description and not to the owner, iins system is m success ful operation in many states, 'and it . has many good qualities to com mend it. In the first place it would cut down the expenses' o,f assessing at least one-half. Second) it would avoid all the costly lux- uries ot a present owner book ami also prevent any property of what, ever description from escaping assessment. The transfer record would be kept by the clerk at no extra expense to the county, the fee for recording, paying for the entering of the same ou the transfer record. Under this method wheu a man come to pay his taxes he would give the description of his property and the tax would be collected. Should the tax go delinquent the county has a good plain description to sell from. .. The assessor's books, "udfTuG -!cds2 records r not then cumbered witha"1ar number of' names otiroftertv owners.- tiiCl'st - 1 -4 .. ' of which might be" corwot. on the 1st day of March and luu"e a dozen errors in it on the 2nd, with a con stantly increasing number crowd ing on. . The next legislature can add more than one-fifth to the taxable property of the state by embracing the above system. . - President Carnot Assassinated. Last Sunday evening an Italian anarchist climbed into the carriage of President Carnot, the president of the French Republic, and slab bed him to the heart killing him instantly. It was with great difficulty the police prevent the lynching of the assassin. . 4 The committee of one hundred appointed in Portland to investigate the tax business has made the fol lowing recommendation; "Your committee would recommend that the laws be so changed that real estate and improvement shall be assessed by lots and blocks or acreage, as the case may be, and not assessed by any particular owner. This is now done in the state of Washington and other places, and it is very evident that it simplifies the making of an as sessment very materially. In this way the assessor need not knov the name of the owner of any piece of property, and when the owner , comes to pay his taxes he simply gives the description of the properly he wishes to pay on." If there is a nest of anarchists in in Washington City aimin at llw destruction of life and property, as the dispatches allege, they should be exterminated like a nest of rattlesnakes. There is no place in the United Stales for an anarchist. Let there be no kid-glove bit dness with these gentry, but let a hand of iron crush the lifo out of them.
