THE
TAXATION OF EVIDENCE
OF DEBT.
So Ions; as the constitution of Oregon
remains unchanged promissory notes,
bonds and other written evidences of
debt must be taxed. They are property,
within the meaning of the constitution
and they do not belong to any of the
classes of property over which the legist
lature has any power in the way of ex
emption from taxation. This being the
case the law should provide, so far as
law can provide, that none of this class
of property should .escape. Under our
present system, it is safe to say that not
half of the promissory notes and bonds,
held by residents of the state, are ever
listed, to the assessor. Nor will they
be so long as it is perfectly safe to con
veal them. The law may clothe the as
sessor with all the inquisitorial power on
earth yet he wou't discover them. A
committee of the Illinois legislature has
lately framed a bill which, if it ever be
comes a law, will make it a dangerous
thing to conceal this class of property.
It provides that every person, corpora
tion or other association, in listing their
written evidences of debt shall make
out a full, true and complete statement
of all promissory notes, bonds, etc.,
owned, possessed or controlled by such
person, company, corporation or other
association, with the amount of each,
the date, the time when due, the name
of the payer, and also the fair cash value
thereof. The assessor When listing and
assessing such shall fix his stamp on the
back of each, and such stamp shall be
prima facia evidence that they have been"
assessed. AH such as are subject to' as
sessment and taxation which do not
bear the assessor's stamp and are not en
tered and listed on the assessor's sched
ule shall be debarred from collection.
- Whether such a , law would run the
gauntlet of our supreme court we are
unable to ' say, but assuming that it
would be constitutional, it would make
it safer for the holder of a note to list it
to the assessor than to conceal it. Our
present system, as everybody , knows,
offers a premium for concealment, and
thus the farmer who ordinarily, has none
of this class of property and who can
conceal nothing, pays an unjust propor
tion of the state and county tax. So far
, as our judgment goes the proposed Il
linois law is a step in the right direction
andtjwe commend its consideration to
our law-makers and to the grangers who
have undertaken to frame an assessment
law to be submitted to the next legisla.

QRAPE , CULTURE.
A movement is on foot in this city
looking to the incorporation of a joint
. stock company for the purpose of buying
.two or three hundred acres of land
near the city and planting it in grapes.
Under proper management there is no
.doubt that the company would meet
with abundant success. Grape-growing,
in this locality, is no experiment. The
crop is safe, certain and abundant.
Thousands of acres around The Dalles
that could be bought for a 'practically
nominal sum would produce as fine
grapes as are grown anywhere and,
planted in grape-vines) would soon be
worth hundreds of dollars an acre. The
success of theSeufert Bros., with a form
er barren sand blow should certainly
stimulate further enterprise in the same
direction. The country could have no
.better advertisement than a large and
successful vineyard and the" capabilities
of success so far as climate and soil are
concerned are beyond question. . .. .
All sorts of reports; regarding the sal
mon situation on the Columbia river are
, "appearing in our' exchanges. . As a mat
ter of fact it is too early in the season to
begin compiling or publishing authentic
figures. April and May' fishing never
amount to much; It is July that tells
the story, and it will be sixty days yet
before any intelligent comment can be
given on the amount of the salmon pack
on the Columbia river in 1891. Astorian.
The following is, says the Australian
Sunday-school teacher, . from a boy's
essay on total abstinence: "I abstain
from alcoholic drinks, because, if I would
excel as a cricketer, Grace says, 'abstain' ;
as a walker, Weston says, 'abstain' ; as
an oarsman, Hanlon says, 'abstain'; as
& swimmer, Webb says, 'abstain' ; as an
orator, Bright says, 'abstain' ; as a miss
ionary, Livingstone says, 'abstain' ; as a
doctor, Clark says, 'abstain' ; asa preach
er, Farrar sa ys, 'abstain'. Asylums,
prisons and work-houses repeat the cry,
-'abstain !" We have heard a long
speech with less in it.
Thatcher's Minstrels.
On next Thursday evening, June 15,
George Thatcher's Minstrels will appear
at the Vogt Grand. j?. fe; t
""The rise of the' ' curtain' on the first
part 'discloses the company arranged , in
pyramidical tiers;' the top crowned bya
large pipe organ. The 'vocalists and
musicians are attired in rich Spanish
toreador custumes, while the comedians
wear the dress of the Directoire period.
The silvery notes of R. J. Jose, the
clear voice of Raymon Moore, the rich
tones bTHrWf Frillihan "" and " ihe' res
onant baritone of Thomas Lewis are feat
ures of the musical programme. John A.
Coleman's eccentric dancing, the series
of new. witciciams by George Thatcher,
Lew Dockstader,-Burt Shepard, Thomas
Le Mack, Ed. Marble and George Lewis
make the first part of a notable one. .A
"Feline Duo" by Thatcher and Shepard
which eliminates the old-time end song
is one of the hits of the first part. For
the benefit of the lovers of old-time
minstrelsy, the first part finish deals
minstrelsy in the days of "Old Bob Bid
ley" and "The Charleston Gals." The
olio contains a series of novel specialties
by Gregory and Elmar. Frank La Mon
due, Wood and Shepard, the musical
comedians, Cain and Loreno and George
Thatcher, the prince of entertainers.
The afterpiece, an original conceit,
called "The Fete of the Gondoliers," in
troduces the entire company, George
Thatcher's Military Band under ' the
leadership of W. H.( A. Croukhite, and
George W. Lewis' prettily customed
song and dance by the terpsichorean
members of the company.
In the entire programme there is not
even a suggestion in word or deed of
aught that is vulgar, but on the contrary,
the performance is noted for its refine
ment and excellence.
Important Coal Discoveries.
A discovery was made a short time ago
by Mr. Alex Kelsay of Antelope that
may prove to be of more importance to
the people of The Dalles than the Fossil
coal fields. It is that of two veins of
what is believed to be a first quality of
coal which have been traced for nearly
four miles on the east bank of the Dee
chutes river, nearly opposite the Mutton
mountains in this county. ' Five claims
have been located already and two'
week's work done to develope the veins.
Samples of the coal; are now on their
way to Portland to be tested. The locat
ors besides the discoverer are M. J.
Anderson, J. C. Kelsay, W. F. Kelsay
and H. B. Hendricks. The latter is a
brother of the editors of the Fossil Jour
nal, the Salem Statesman and the Weston
header.' '" '" ' ' ' "
The veins are about 12x30 feet and
there is said to be twice the quantity of
coal in sight that there is at Fossil. The
new Norton survey touches a point only
a few miles north of the discovery. The
writer saw a sample of the coal today
and he fondly hopes it may prove, equal
to the expectations of the locators.

In the office of a prominent aroiriteet
in Chicago one of the draughtsmen Ja a
young man who came tierefroin vTrPTi
N. Y. . He lives t nor otTfiWal?A(5h
venae, uae evening aurwg;a eaiq snap
he had occasion j toireacort;a -yudagjaidT
to her home on Thirty-liftAstret,;a4d.a8
affairs with them had roehdvih stage
where it is ptaasant to .begone together,
they walked. The' girl was well bandied
up, bat the young man was not dressed
for extremely cold weather, and when
they reached their destination he found
that his left ear was frozen stiff. " ''
The next day he appeared at the office
with" his ;ear poulticed and .bandaged.
His employer noticed his condition jmd
remarked upon the extraordinary devo
tion to duty he displayed. The young
man' was greatly pleased, and for five
minutes, quite forgot the pain. . After be
had been at, work for an hour or so he
found that his head was irresistibly
pulled sideways by the weight of the
bandage, and that it was impossible to
keep it squarely on uu shoulders. But
he went on with his work. .., .
Next morning his employer was any
thing bat gracious . and informed him
that all of the previous day's labor would
have to be don6 over again for all the
lines were out of drawing and the houses
leaned perceptibly to the north north
west. The young man attempted to draw
the front elevation of a house, but found
that he could not draw a perpendicular
line, and that the horizontal lines would
not lie' flat." He couldn't account for
this phenomenon until one of his fellows
suggested that the bandage on his left
ear, which pulled his bead over toward
his left shoulder, was the cause of it
. The young man thought the explana
tion piausiDie. What did he do? Did
he lie off until his ear got well? No.
That evening he called upon the young
lady, induced her to go out for a walk,
and left . his right ear exposed to the
chilling blast. . When he reached home
he found that he . had . accomplished his
purpose, and that the other ear was
frozen as hard as a rock. . After that he
had no difficulty with his houses. Chi

Points for Young Mariners.
A grizzled individual in the attire of a
farm hand prowled along the docks all
day. With all his rusticity of attire
there was a tinge of tar and bilge water
about, him that added to his swagger
ana stamped him unmistakably as a son
of r the sea.. His. movements attracted
considerable attention as he boarded
vessel . after vessel and inspected the
pumps and then whistled for the ship's
dog. ' His cruise extended from the sea
wall to Harrison street, end it Was at
this point that be was accosted by one
or ranklxo s runners. , ... : ,
"Want to ship, old man?" he asked,. as
the stranger climbed down from the top
sides of the Lady Cairns.
" "Yes, I'm going to sea again," was the
reply, accompanied by the observation
that ' ranching was not v.-hat it was
cracked np to be.
T11 get you a good ship." suggested
the runner. ' "
"Well, you needn't bother. Tve been
to sea for forty years, and mebbe I knows
enough to pick out a ship for myself."
"What are you looking for?" ' ''
; "A fat dog and a rusty pump bolt, yon
bloody lubber. What do yoa'sposePm
looking for?". ; .- ,
"Come and have a drink," . suggested
the runner, who .was anxious to learn
the connection between a fat dog and a
rnsty pump bolt and a desirable ship.
"Well, lads, Fll tell you," said the in
timate friend of Neptune, "and you
want to remember 1 this, because tH be
useful . some day.: It took- m : many
years to larn it, but it's yours for the
sake or your kindness. - Mark what old
George Palmer ' tells you when you
want to .ship look - for a fat dog; that
means the old man is liberal with .his
doff and youll be well fed... Look for a
rusty pump, bolt, '.'cause that means that
the, craft. is right and tight and the crew
don t have to break' their hearts and
backs keeping : her dry'.' It- th4 pump
bolt is worn . and : shiny look out, lads,
for she's a sieve,, and . your watch below
will be spent in keeping : her . hold dry.

M aJ a w a

man were the most individual and oriiri.
naL The most romantic and picturesque
oi many renowned events oi that
time was the march to the ''sea.' It has
already a distinctive character, like that
of the Greeks in Xenophon's story of the
"Ten. Thousand." . , When the news of its
successful issue reached this part iof . the
country it served to show the simple and
honest patriotism of one of the most un
fortunate of the. Union generals.
Burnside, . after .'.the explosion "of "the
mine at-Petersburg, had been, relieved,
.and, .was, .staying wth ,a .company of
friends at a country house on Narragan
sett bay. ' The company were all sitting
one' morning upon the spacious ' piay
when a messenger rode np and announced
Sherman's success, i Burnside'a - delight
was enthusiastic.'': All thought -of- him
self vanished.7-Th good cause only was
in his. mind and heart, and running, to
his wife he" joyfully kissed her, saying,
"I know that the company fee's as I do,
and will forgive me.. ... d i
,:! It was the feeling of - Soldier as sim
ple and true -hearted and , patriotic, but
not so fortunate, as Sherman; and it was
the same candor and manly sweetness of
nature that- softened Sherman's voice
whenever he spoke of the soldiers of the
war to whom fate had seemed to be un
kind. He is gone, the last of the old fa
miliar figures, some of his old foes bear
ing him tenderly to the grave. ' ' And are
