Press Dispatches.
The state board of equalization has
adjourned without having fulfilled the
expectations we had formed of It. Any
set of school boys could have equalized
the asseftsraent of sheep and cattle and
horses, but it required an intelligence to
deal wit'i some other classes of property
wnicu trie Doarcl does not seem to have
possessed. To fix the assessed value of
cattle at $12.50 by the band and sheep
at f 1.60 is not equalizat-'on at least not
in any part of Eastern Oregon. The
board has increased the assessment of
railroad property and telegraph lines,
which is quite right, but we venture the
assertion that this class of property is
not yet assessed at one half its value.
The road bed of the Union Pacific in
Wasco county has been assessed for
years at $5000 per mile, while it proba
bly cost an average of six or eight times
that amount, and is worth in cash the
greater part of it, yet here is property
assessed at only a fraction of its value,
while money, notes, accounty shares of
stock and mortgages are to be assessed
uniformly at their face value. Again we
say this is not equalization but the very
opposite. Some shares of slock are not
worth ten cents on the dollar, others are
worth vastly more than their face. No
business house in the world estimates
its notes and accounts at their face value.
They are neyer worth it, yet the board
has decreed that an open account that
may not be worth twenty-five per cent.
ot its tace shall be assessed equally with
mortgages that are usually as good as
gold coin. Nay gold coin itself is rated
nd higher than semi-worthless notes,
accounts and shares of stock. But the
board proposes and the taxDaver dis
poses and the result of it all will be that
more and more of the property thus
treated unfairly will be carefully con
cealert from the assessor every time it
can be done with impunity, while an
unfair and unequal burden will fall upon
the shoulders tf those who are too hon
est to conceal anything.
ihe success of the Cascade portage
has done nore than anything else could
have done towards getting another
portage between The Dalles and Celilo.
What has been accomplished for the
country between The Dalles and the
Cascades is but a drop in the bucket
when compared with the interests to be
benefited by the further opening of the
river. It is with great pleasure that we
notice the growing sentiment among the
newspapers of Western Oregon in favor
of The Dalles portage. The Salem
Journal boldly and earnestly advocates
the measure ud the Portland Telegram
never misses an opportunity of speaking
- a good word for it. Eastern Oregon
-owes a deep debt of gratitude to these
-journals for their unselfish interest in
the prosperity of the inland empire. In
Hhis connection it is but simple justice
o say that the portage already built and
. the one. we hope to see buflt in the near
future have no truer friend than Gov
ernor Pennoyer. His earnest co-opera-.
tion with the owners of the people's line
of boats had much to do with making
the Cascade portage - a success, and
his ". well-known interest in The
Dalles portage will go far towards secur
ing a state appropriation, if present ef
forts fail to get aid from Washington.
But the success of the Cascade portage,
coupled with the . enterprise of The
Dalles merchants and business men who
have made this success possible, has,
more than anything else, awakened an
interest in the opening of the river that
will never rest till the people from Idaho
, to The Dalles will have such advantages
from river competition as this city and
the country tributary to it now enjoy.
The democrats of Salem have issued a
circular calling a meeting at an early
date for the purpose of discussing the
advisability of establishing an evening
daily and weekly democratic newspaper
in that city.' The Salem Journal claims
that "the effulgent literary genius of the
Statexwan city editor will sit at the helm
of the new enterprise'." In fact the
Journal claims that the Statesman is
going to steer the new ship all the same j
as the Oregonian does the Telegram.
Railroad surveyors in full force have i
- been seen, in the- neighborhood of I
Goldendale, but no news of their busi
ness could be obtained from them. We
hope they mean business anyhow. '

First City Boy I hope we won't take
a country house again. I hate it.'
Second City Boy What! ..Hate the
country?
"No, the country is good enough, but
there's always a garden; and ma and pa
go 'bout crazy over it, plantin things in
the spring, and then, when the hot
weather comes, they get tired and stop
botherin 'bout it, and then the weeds
come up, and then they always want me
to weed garden, 'cause it's good, health
ful outdoor exercise for boys of my age.
I hate it."
"Well, you're a chump. We have a
garden every summer, too, but I don't
do any weeding; not much I don't."
"Have you a gardener?"
"No."
"Then how do you get out of it."
"Well, you see, I never can learn the
difference between weeds and other
things, and by the time I've dug up a
lot of flowers an veg'tables mother comes
runnin out and says I ain't big enough
to weed garden. Then I go fishin."
Good News.
Reticent Kd Men.
No one knows where an Indian is go
ing. Traveling across the plain in a
stage or an army ambulance you will see
him afar off galloping as if he had been
sent for the doctor and was afraid he
wouldn't find him at home. ; Approach
ing yon as the two paths cross he will
usually rein up, exchange salutations,
6tudy your outfit closely, checking his
pony to the slowest of walks, and with
out asking a Question will know just
where you art; x tig, what you are eo
ing to-do and vvii.it food you will proba
bly give him if lie calls upon j-on at your
evening fire. Then he is off again,
ranging easily in the saddle, and soon
disappearing from sight. The land
from which he came is as empty as that
into which he has vanished. There is
not a sign of human habitation in either
direction. Uc has probably come twenty
miles since dawn, and will, unless ho
concludes to camp with you, make an
other twenty before drawing rein. Chi

A Preventive for Croup.
We want every mother fo know that
croup can be prevented. Trne croup
never appears without a warning. The
first symptom is hoarseness; then the
child appears to have taken a cold or a
cold may have accompanied the hoarse
ness from the start. After that a pecul
iar rough cough is developed, which is
followed by tho croup. The time to act
is when the child first becomes hoarse
a few doses of Chamberlain's Cough
I.emedy will prevent the attack. Even
after a rough cough has appeared the
disease mav be prevented bv uxing this
remedy as directed. It hasnever been
known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent and $1
