Its general ; aim ! to release industry and Improvs ' masts from the rrpresslvs pressure of taiatlon. first Exempts dwellings. Every new horns strengthens our state. The pres- ant law ancourages gambling In home- Sites until a good site costs as much as a comfortable dwelling. This demand that the saving" of years be given up tor the mere chance to build neoeasl ; tates postponement and congests popu lation. ... . Second Real estate agents will find plenty to do bringing together the 'land ' poor" man who finds withholding from dm unprofitable, with the homeseeker who can and will gladly pay the tax when the speculative value has thus been nqueexed from the purchase price, . and the house he builds and everything .' io It will be exempt. Third Exempts farm production and improvements. The farmer, insisting . en taxing everything, always psys taxes " on everything of his own, while the bulk of the wealth drained from farms to cities eludes the assessor, Farm be- longlnga are 'not of the nature to be eonceaJed.1 Constituting less than 25 per cent of the population, farmers fiave been paying more than 10 per cent : ef tbe state taxes, ana me supreme . eonrt has now abolished the customary 3(K) exemption. Lst farmers compare the assessment of vacant land along side of them with that of their Im proved farms which make that vacant land valuable. Compare taxes paid per acre by land grants with that of (m r re red farms. But. while dwellings and farm improvements sre subject to taxes, farmers will pay, and railroads and city i franchises will not. The only way for fanners to have anything exempt Is to exempt it open and above board by law. ruurin Aianuiac(uring exempt.

Harrlsburg, Feb. 21. Ores containing gold, sliver and copper have been found In the celebrated Culebra cut of the Pan ama canal. This has been ascertained by chemical investigation at the labor atory of Colonel H. C. Demmlng, con sulting state geologist, in this city. Three lots of the ore were sent here for determination, and in every one of them the three metals were found, one of the samples being considerably richer In the precious metals than the others. Larger quantities are to be shipped to ascertain what the profits will be when ores are properly worked up in bulk. Geologists who are familiar with the Panama Isthmus have for years looked upon the Culebra mountain as a part of the backbone of the rich mineral belt of North and South America.

Movement,, In Peninsula Property Seems to Warrant Oreat Predictions. The picture of greater Portland In prospectus on another page is the fond hope of W. M. KiUingsworth. While to many this will probably be an exag geration, yet it is the firm belief of the pioneer of the peninsula that It will be come literally true at no great distant day. Mr. Kllllngeworth's great faith in Portland, and especially that the peninsula will become the New York of the Pacific coast, is becoming firmer and firmer as the extensive railroad systems and the Swift packing plant and other prospective enterprises appear on th horison'and become bigger and bigger as the months .go by. Judgin bv th enhancing values of property it would appear that there is justification for great predictions for tbs stria of land between the rivers. It is said that the owner of over 200 acres of land north of the Junction of the railroads, who. had the property on ths market a few months am At tf naa an acre, recently doubled his figures and' finally withdrew it from ths mar ket last Friday on account of th sharp activity la peninsula rai statw --.- j I THE Electric Sewing Machine Motor for which every woman who has worn herself out running a sewing machine has waited for vears.
