Last Saturday the steamer 8. G. Seed, was charteied by the Albina Methodist Sunday school to take 475 "excursionists ' from that city to Multnomah Falls.' On C "their return trip, and just as the steamer ;7was entering the Willamette the' six year-old son of Chaa. H. Hill, a well known Albina real estate dealer fell over " board and was drowned The steamer - was stopped with all'ssible"peed but it was- too late, the angry waters had closed over the form of the hapless boy and he was not seen again. '-; ''Mr.: Tat -Tries Hi Haad , Aa-ain. ' iPofeTi-ANDOrfMay 23, 1891. 4 3-EDrfoft CjBosicVki In conaideniur a simple tax on land values we must bear in mind what these values are and how they are created. The solitary settler in a wilderness might improve 160 acres to a high degree ; but to one who came along and offered to buy hinr out.'his land apart from the improvements could have no 'possible vlue "wMIe"' along' "side of him was to be had equally good land for the taking hp'. ' But' if Vither settlers come in and surround the first one, and commence to improve, then- the land begins to acquire a value that is not due to the exertions of any ' individual, but to the join labors and accumulation's of the whole community. And should the situation of the place be such that a postoffice, a store', a school house and a church be built thereon and the place becomes a' trading center, the added value acquired by the land would be more due to the effects of human' associ ation. Should the state charter a rail road to tap this point ; should ' individ ual enterprise erect mammoth factories, machine shops, etc., and the day of street railway, electric lights and costly water works arrive, our first settler the owner of the town site though he toiled not, neither spun, might eventually find himself a millionaire, under present conditions, through the operation of the great law' of human pro gress which finds its prime factors in association. Yet twenty miles away may be an individual far. more energetic and industrious than the first-named, Who has toiled early and late to improve his farm, yet its value has come up very slowly, because population is scanty there and land still ' isn't worth very much more than the improvements cost. There is of course a natural rent, due to 'the ' superior 1 fertility, the presence of minerals, etc., but the greatest increase of land values is due to population "and the wealth its presence accumulates.. The presence of millionaires, their stocks and bonds, to "which the Chronicle re fers, all inure to the benefit of 'the land holders. ' All men know' that the bring ing of capital intd a country means a rise in land values. In 1886, the New York Sun' estimated that ' $25,000,000 " were brought into Kansas by the immigration 6t that yearl- The consequence was' that lands, 'which, when the writer was there two years before, you couldn't give away, at once-jumped- up to astonishing figures, and men who sold out town property be came rich through the "unearned incre- menti'.'j Now 5 the )money has all left that non-productive country, and popu lation with it, lands have dropped again to nominal figures.' iJ M -. The lands of, let us say, any county, will be found" 6n the "average' 6 have- an equal value with the Improvements and personal property accumulated 'thereon. The -Jreason being that' they get 'their value from the presence of these products of trhmanlfidbstry'andr'fhg' accompany ing population. If assessments show personal property much less in value than the land.itdnly'proves the impossi bility of a 'fair and just assessment of personal property that some of it has escaped, taxation. ( Now as it is this .Tory personal property and these imnrove- jnents that give value to land, what, can be more fair than to tax these - land val ueswith h.e burdens of soc.ie.tary ,gov ernment. t The values cannot escape. the assessor. No man .can say of the com iiunity value bf the land lie" holds : ''! made this." That value is the joint production of all ; let us tax it , for the joint benefit of all. Wallace Yates. 1 Saturday last at 5 :S0 p. m. as an east bound ' freight train' neared bridge No. IIS which is alittle this Bide of Viento the engineer, Mr. Powers, discovered when within two or three car's length that the bridge-was -on fire-. -The -moment-the engineer saw the fire he reversed his engine but the next moment perceiving that the train would certainly stop on the bridge he threw back the lever and made a dash to clear it. The violence of the snap, when the locomotive made a fresh start, broke the train in two, back of the first car 'and the engine and this car dashed over' the half btirned 'bridge while they reeled and staggered' like a drunken 'man. It was a close call for the' engineer and fireman, and to make matters Worse the car which staid with the locomotive got derailed 'and while the'engine made 'the east' end tf-'the bridge in safety the car had to be left to its fate and in a short time it was burned to" a' cinder .--Meanwhile ten flat cars loaded wtthTrocK-"and We"cohi'mon car filled with' merchandiser for Thrf Dalles broke through the bridge - and "fell one upon "'another thirty-nveL feet; below. (-while one car and the caboose' remained bh'the track. ' The cars that felf through the bridge were soon enveloped iff flames, fend nothing amenable to the fire was left. Fourteen bents of the bridge were burned and it was almost a ' miracle that no Kves were lost. ": ' The onl Jr Injury done to anyone", ed far as wef could learn ', was to fireman Boyd,' whose face was blacked and bruised somewhat 'by " striking against the tender. The injury however was not' serious and he is able to go about his work as usual. : Real Estate Transactions...

The corral is made of logs and is nearly or quite eight feet high. IJncle Jim Vanderpool was sitting on the topmost log in the panel which the horse tried to jump. . This log was knocked off the fence and Uncle Jim with it. In the fall he received a blow about the head that knocked him senseless for a time ; but, fortunately, his hurt was not a serious one, and he soon rallied. The horse fell over, the fence on the outside, back down, into a fire that was being used to heat branding irons,' and was severely burned. Prineville News. ' ",''ri;;;.;." ..

The woeful expression of a Des Moines teamster's countenance showed his deep anxiety was: not entire ly without cause, when he inquired of a druggist of the same city what was best to give a baby for a cold"? It was not ne cessary for him to say more, his counte nance snowed that the pet of the familv. if not the idol of his life was" in distress. We give our babv Chamberlain's Cousrh Remedy,'1 was the drueeist's answer. "I don't like to give the baby -such strong medicine," said the teamster.
