Sheriff Colbath last evening seized the newspaper and ; job plant of the1 Salem Sentinel for taxes . for the year 1903, and is now holding the plant for the same, the amount In volved being only $25.40. This plant has not paid taxes for some years. In 1902, on March 1, when the assessment was made, the plant was in the name of a, man. who had a .short time before ' that purchased It, but being unable to pay. for, the same, he allowed it to go -back to tbe original' owner, Claire B. : Irvine,' and when taxes were due, the plant bolng personal property and out of the hands Of ; the party to whom It i was . assessed, the ' Sheriff was unable to secure payment ' Now .it, stands on . the tax roll as the property of ; Mr. Irvine who recently purchased a paper ' at . Ocean Park, - Cal., and the entire : plant was packed' up ready for ship ment to that ' place when the sheriff seised it. . The Sentinel , during. Its career hero frequently made violent attacks on the sheriff's office because of ' the failure of that officer to collect taxes from some of the property , owners : In . this county personal property fax-?and It was not generally known that the pa per,: which had little patronage, did not pay Its proportion of the taxes, v hence the attachment of the plant just as It was ready to be shipped toCalifornla beyond the. jurisdiction of the sheriff. The plant will not be released, Mr. Col- bath says, until the taxes are paid. ew Odd yellows lodge, - Next Saturday evening a new Odd Fellows' lodge will be instituted at Aumsvllle, in this county, and a large number of tho members of the order in this section of the state expect to be present on this occasion.

Already tha matter is being favorably discussed, and a call for a convention of this kind will be issued at an early date. Road building is being seriously discussed and studied in every part of this county since County .Judge Scott .has taken so active art interest, in this matter and the county court has dem onstrated that good roads can be built here at comparatively small cost, and the movement promises to take definite shape and result in the construction of many permanent roads in this county.

Vancouver, Wash.; 'Jan. . 26. -Mrs. Wolf, widow of the late Charles Wolf, who was accidentally killed at a railroad crossing the litter pari of August last by an engine running into .his convey ance on Fruit valley road, has brought suit against the W. & O. Ry. Co. for 140,000. The company in control of the road at that time was the W. & O.'Ry. Co.; but, the road' has since become a part of the Northern Pacific system, and is : now known as the -Northern Pacific railway. Messrs. Rands & Hopkins are acting, as attorneys for Mrs. Wolf, and the complaint alleges that the train was running unnecessarily fast and " was carelessly operated In -that" no whistle was sounded In .nearing the" crossing, thereby giving any, alarm, that the train was. approaching. fB'-? '" ' - ' This, together with many other narrowly-escaped accidents, has caused much commotion among the settlers in that' part of the county,.- and has ' re sulted in the laying out of additional roadways : and the contemplated con struction of a bridge across Salmon creek. The county surveyor Is now busily engaged : on drafting plans for the new bridge, which will give a road way over the newly-consty-ucted branch f railroad which now has to be crossed. When the plans , are completed, the county commissioners, it is . said, will request the railway company to con tribute ; their share , of the expense toward -the construction of the same. This liability of the railroad company to share In the expense of a bridge of this nature is granted by statute of the state., that is where it is necessary to be constructed. In order to avoid dan ger. Whether the company will 'take the. view that it is necessary to- con struct a "new bridge for this purpose is questionable. It is hinted at by per sons well versed in the affairs of the company ithat the bridge Is an old one and that the county is under obligations to construct a new one whether of higher or ,of the same elevation. And for this reason It is thought that the railroad company may see a fighting chance and refuse to contribute toward the expense. . I Preparations to Move. .

He was drinking and talking to bis friends as he was wont.:;. The1 son came In and seeing the old gentleman's position and condition. ' , took hold of him . roughly and threw him across the room, letting him fall heavily upon the floor. The barkeeper, Fred Greisson. at this junc ture took a hand and told theson not to handle the old gentleman so roughly, to which the young man- made an ugly response. Greisson climbed over the bar and went after the younger Miller, and they fought out of the saloon and onto the street, where they were separated by bystanders. .

They started bravely forth on this last leg of their journey, but before going any great distance they discovered that the last part of the trip was going to be a very difficult proposition. The snow was from seven to 11 feet deep and very soft and their skees would sink into the soft snow to such a depth that it made travel in that manner al most an Impossibility. However, they managed to get over about half the distance, when Mr. Welsh broke one of his skees and they were compelled to return. They found a cabin In which they remained all night without food or anything to drink. , In the morning they began their long Journey through the snow waist deep back to civilization. They found the traveling exceedingly laborious. Orie7ofWemwoutd-grratread and break the trail and the other would follow, changing positions every half hour. .

No further attempts will be made to reach the mines until the snow, which is deeper than known for years, has melted out of the mountains. Will Break Bread.
