Portland, Oregon, says: fin recommending Doan's Ointment to those who suffer from hemorrhoids I can-only repeat the statement I made some three years ago. I had suffered from this trouble for some years, and In hot weather it waa a great worry to me. I could not sleep at night Other preparations having given me. little or no reiier, I rinaiiy oegan using xraan s Ointment, and it required only a few ap plications to bring soothing and hefeling relief. The facts above stated are as I told them just after ray. first trial of A Jury of two men, probably the smallest number ever sworn to try a case In Multnomah county, was empaneled, heard the evidence and returned a ver dict in about five minutes In Judge Oantenbeln's department of the circuit court this morn ing. The proceeding was un contested, but all the formalities of a Jury trial were observed. The case was tha't of the Mount Hood Railway A Power company to condemn a right of way through land owned by Nanoy A. Roberts and others. In a case of this kind a jury to fix the damages is necessary, and two judgments were agreed to be enough. The railway's right of way man testified as to the value of the right of way. The written verdict was then handed to the Jurors and signed by one of them as foreman. It fixed the damages at $1,200; REPLY TO MR. SIGLER A. Q.-jtosUifht, Candidate for Assessor, Answers Zastter Published Yesterday, Mr. Sigler. candidate for reelection as assessor, has at last honored me by replying to my letters, as long as addressed such letters to him he Ig nored them. When I addressed them to the people and sent them to their homes he began to take notice. I charged Mr. Hlsrler with having roaae narsn assessments against tne be longings and household furniture, such as cooKlnr stoves, etc.. of Door DeODle. while he exempted from taxation the ornately decorated furniture which went to make up the value of the many sa loons about town. To the first charge ne maxes no reoiy. evidently not con sidering it safe to deny a fact which Is known to so many. To the latter chargo that he has exemtited paloons by the dozens, he replies by stating that he has taxed tnem up to tne Drawers, wnicn explanation Is a fairly safe one as lonu as people do not know whether It is truu or not. A olose examination of the taxroll fails to bear out Mr. Sigler in his asser tion. For instance, the Wetnhard Brew ing company is assessed on the tax rolls for exactly S3. 600 for office furniture and not one dollar more and it is sup- Sosed to own or control 72 saloons, urely Mr. Sigler does not expect any- ooay to Deiieve mat i3,ouv covers an the furniture in Wei n hard's brewery and 72 saloons, and It doesn't. Where Is the furniture of these 72 saloons and why Is it not taxed? The Gambrtnue Brewing company is credited with owning or controlling 26 saloons, and on the tax rolls it Is not as sessed for one dollar's worth of furni ture or fixtures of any kind eltner for Itself or anybody else. The Northern Brewery company Unto Star Brewing company) and the Portland Brewing comuany are eaually as barren of fur niture and fixtures as far as the taxrolis PAVEMENT ON EMJpSOfl Asphalt to Be Laid From Union Avenue to East Seventh Street.

Clairmont Tavern, suburban retreat for those who. love luxuries, but are wary In the pursuit or them, not even a hat rack to hang their virtue on, Those are but a few examples of dozens and dozens of such cases. Mr. Sigler says the widow referred to by me handed In her own statement for 1400 for furniture. He does not say that this or any other poor woman naa no chance against a deputy assessor who invades her house and makes her sign a statement, such as suits him un der an arbitrary assessment I don't know, how often this has been done. do know of at least one assessment on the roils charging a widow witn nroD- erty which she absolutely did not own, and they had her statement to show for He sava that Dr. Coe's $1,500 assess ment was made before he bought his nine orean. which may be true, but he unauestlonably did own at that time per- sonal property worth many times the amount or nis assessment, ana mis xar. R I trier does not' deny. The single in stance, as I said, Is not thl material thing. The point Is. and Mr. Sigler does not and cannot truthfully deny that either, that the personal property of the rlfh la assessed at a vastly lower per centage than the personal property of the poor. An to, automobiles. Mr. Stgler's de fense Is that they were not on the auditor's list till after March 1. In other -words. If an automobile ' owner takes out a city license on March 2. Mr Hlrler holds that he ought not to be assessed for It, though he may have owned It months before. The riding season does not begin till after March 1. This point an easy way to escape as sessments which the owner Motorist has known how to take advantage of. believe tnai my main cnarges gainst Mr. Sigler remain entirely, un answered.
