Newport
The Mirene arrived Monday with
75 tons of freight for the mer
chants of Newnort, Toledo and
Waldport, mostly for Newport.
She left -40 or 50 tons of freight
that will be brought in by another
boat. Water transportation is im
proving all the time by ocean as
well as on the bay. Competition is
the regulator of freights and fares.
Captain Otto Wellander, superin
tendent of the life savlfig service of
tbii district, made an official visit
to this section and made an irianec-
tldfi of. the work and reported that
everything was in fine condition.
He spoke in bigh temrs of the
efficiency of the service and of the
splendid equipment the station has
since getting the new power boat.
It was through the influence of
Capt. Wellender that the boat was
secured fur this place. The boat is
equipped with all the modern ap
pliances and is one of the finest in
the service.
A new sidewalk is . being built
from the ladies rest and reading
room to connect with the plank
road on Case street. This will be
a great convenience to the public
and will give one of the finest
views from the top of the bluff
back of Newport ' that can be bad
anywhere. ,
C. H. Williams is very ill. con
fined mobt vl the time to his bed.
He is 86 years old. George Sylves
ter is also dangerously sick at the
home of William Kisur. Mr. Syl
vester is a G. A. R. man as well as
a prominent Oddfellow, well known
throughout the country.
, The great complaint now and the
one that effects the people must is
high taxes." It is a fad with some
people to create big debts to build
hard surface road and other im
provements when the people can
not afford them. The resources of
the county will not justify it. We
will have to put up with dirt roads
until we can build better ones, and
it is wise to get on a cash basis as
toon as possible. It is wrong to
harass the people with large debts,
either for the city or county, that
will never be paid. If w"e want .to
be independent and happy, keep out
of debt. If we want to encourage
emigration to settle up the country
and develop it. keep the taxes
down. No one wants to settle in
a county that is heavily in debt and
it is bad policy also to bond- the
county and I don't, believe the
people will do it. Let the slogan
be 'pay as we go." I heard a
gentleman say the other day that
he had two splendid buildings in
one of the best business blocks in
Salem that he could not rent be
cause of the high taxes. Said his
tenants could not afford to pay the
rent. It is better to go stow and
be called a moss-back than get in
that condition.

No Penalty
On Last Half
'-.An injunction has been issued
against the tax cul'ector of Mult
nomah county enjoining him from
collecting a penalty on the last half
C' taxes pali before September 1st,
where the first half was paid pripr;
to April 1st. While this Injunction
applies only in Multnomah county
it is thought the ruling will be fol
lowed by all the counties in the
stats, as it wouU not be fair to
collect penalties in some counties
and not in all.
County Treasurer McCluskey says
that he is not advising anyone how
to pay their taxes but that those
paving the first half of their taxed
before April 1st will in all prob
ability not be compelled to pay i
penalty on the last half if paid be
fore September 1st.
As heretofore stated by the Lea
der the penalty added on the delin
quent half was exhorbitant and
wrong as this money was not all
needed at once. With this and a
few minor changes the law can be
made a very good one.

F. F. Foster of Rock Creek waa
arraigned in Justice Parrish's
Court Wednesday afternoon on the
charge of striking Mrs. R. W.
Birdwell, also of Rock Creek. It
seems that the trial is the culmina
tion of a standing fued in the
neighborhood. According to testi
mony offered Mrs. Birdwell met
Mr. and Mrs. Foster on the road
Sunday and Mrs. Birdwell attacked .
Mrs. Foster and before the melee
ended Mr. Foster had struck Mrs.
Birdwell four times, twice in the
face. In the meantime Mr. Bird
well appeared on the scene, but for
some reason did not assist his wife
in the fracas, coming to Toledo in
stead and having Foster arrested.
At the trial Foster denied the
charge and proved by a number of
witnesses that Mrs. Birdwell'a
reputation for truth and veracity
was not good. Notwithstanding;
this evidence the jury returned a
verdict of guilty and Judge Par
rish gave him the limit, fining him
fifty dollars and costs. Foster has
appealed the case.
