There is Scarcely a successful business man in New York who does not receive in . his mail every morning requests for informa tion as to the best way to invest small bums of money. ' " " - 1 With a view of obtaining some opin ions on the subject a reporter called a few days ago upon some of - the most prominent and successful business men of the country, noted for their, shrewd investments., and asked them to give their.opinions of the best way to invest $100. j Mr. Henry Clews, who has earned a reputation for his sound judgment in all matters relating to investments, said: "The best investment for $100 is to place it in a good savings bank and make the foundation to build upon by frequent additions to it. When the amount gets large enough the first acquisition of prop erty should buy a homestead, and when that is accomplished it will give such comfort and peace of mind to the owner 1 nf ..11 L.!nrla sif r , Y1i t 1- -1 a Ml.

No assessment will ever be fair and uni form till tax payers are assessed t the cash value. of everything they own. But also gives him an established credit which, when obtained, if judiciously and conservatively used, will make it much easier to acquire this world's goods. ;'The best citizens are those who own in fee their homes and their contents, for ! it develops qualities in a man's nature 1 that otherwise may remain dormant or the board itself has set a very poor ex- , hidden like a light under a bushel. ample to the assessors.. Had they prac ticed as they preach their advice would have more weight. A set of men who would deliberately "equalize" one class of property by putting it up to its cash value and leave the rest at fifty cents on the dollar or all the way from thirty to seventy-five cents, cannot expect that "their advice will have much moral force. It would be very different if the assess ors knew beforehand that the state board would make the various assessment rolls coniform to the statute where the assessors had failed in this regard. As it is assessments next year will be made very much on the old plan. Each assessor who has any patriotic pride in him will do his best to see that other countries do not get too far ahead of him in their effort to evade a just proportion of the state tax. ' ' If the editor of the Pomeroy (Wash.) Independent is not a dangerous lunatic he writes exactly like one. A man who is capable of writing the following, which appeared in the editorial column of the last issue of his paper is not fit to be at large let alone edit a newspaper. The alliance whose devinely chosen mouthpiece the crank pretends to be ought to sit down on him, hard and fire . bim unceremoneously out of its ranks. Here is what he says : "The enemies of this paper who do it an injury because itexpoBes their corruption are one by one being removed by Him who presides over the destinies -of worlds and rewards every being as is just and proper. Be ware when you try to tear down with your vile tongue this chosen instrument for the defense of the people. The very poison that such spit at this paper will become a festering sore to remove their corrupt carcasses from this mundane snhere to 'one where the fire is not quenched." 4 . All the newspapers in Oregon whose heads are in the Oregonian't stannchions are falling into line with the Portland crowd of tax-dodgers. Great are the moulders of public opinion. Salem Jour .nal. The Journal is away off. The Port land "crowd of tax dadgere" have the law on their side ; the more's the pity, but they have it all the same. What some of us object to is the" paying of 1 Multnomah county's state tax as well as our own. If some counties are so wedded to their moss Jnteguments that they propose to let Multnomah get the best of them that's their own lookout. We're not built that "way in" Wasco county. . The Aatorian of January 26th has the following: The British ship Lawton is.now 77 days out with a big cargo of tin plate aboard for Astoria. There has been a good deal eajd about tin plate since the passage of . the McKinley bill. . Apart from any political feature of the matter, but purely as a matter of news, it is inter esting to know that tin plate is cheaper here today than it has .been. Last year it sold as high as $6.75 a. box. Today . good tin-plate of the same quality as was held at $6.75 a year ago, can be had for from tti to $6.15 a box. An ounce of facts is worth a ton of theory of unsup ported statements. . .v " -. - -. . Speaking, the other day jn the senate, of the importance of The Dalles as a cen ter of business and population, Senator Mitchell said the city had three or four weekly papers and one daily. Is it pos Bible the senator has never heard of the Daily Timei-Mountaineert "Among these qualities are pride -of position, which will keep-a man respect able;- the love of country, which will make him a patriot, and almost more than anything else contribute to make him, not only respected by bis neighbors and friends, but also a good and faithful husband and a loving parent. A "GILT EDGED BOND," SAYS DR. DEPEW , Dr. Chauncey M. Depew advised that the $100 should be made grow to $1,000 before being invested in any enterprise. : "Put it in the savings bank." said the doctor, "where it can draw compound interest, and add to it as you can until it becomes a thousand. Then consult some wise, conservative banker and in vest it in a gilt edged bond which can be registered. There is no investment for $100 except to put it into a savings bank that is absolutely safe. The chances are that if he went to inquire he would meet speculative gentlemen who would land his $100 in some mining or other similar scheme which promised large returns, and that would be the end of it." ' Mr FVmat.Tia Wiman ia nf fTia rtTMTiimi that "the best way to invest $100 is to buy a share in some well managed local building and loan association. These associations represent the aggregate sav ings of their members, and the money is invested only in houses built by one of their own number. The investment - is therefore a very safe one, because men will pay for their homes and the interest due thereon sooner than they would pay for anything else. The money can' be withdrawn, if need be, while it rests with the society, and it pays as good an interest as any other safe enterprise can afford. Compared with the savings bank it yields about twice the interest, while the security is generally just as good. . "Of course all depends upon manage ment, but taken as a whole the money of poor people put into building loan as sociations has been more honestly ad ministered by the poor people themselves than has been any other financial trust in the country. In proportion to the enormous amount invested, which now reaches over $700,000,000 reaching that of the capital of all the national banks the amount of defalcations has been in finitesimal. "The rate of interest paid has been larger, the purpose accomplished nobler, and the security just as safe as that of the average railroad, bank, mortgage or insurance investment. " 1 put $100 away every month in a building and loan as sociation, conscious that it is the very safest and best investment that 1 can make. By it 1 am enabled to insure my life for $20,000, and 1 am all the time ac cumulating, not only the principal, but interest, which thus far has averaged 10 percent. ' - I " "UNCLE" BUFU3 HATCH'S VIEWS. I 'Uncle" Bufus Hatch, who has lost over $1,000,000 in . Wall street, does not recommend any "high flying" in vestment. His advice for putting out $100 was to "go slow," and he added: j'If you can find a solvent savings bank, put the $100 there, and be satisfied with o or 4 per cent, interest. It would seem, Ihowever, from disclosures that national panks and savings banks and all other banks are more or less open to criticism. fTha irani- maioritv of the Tmblic do not .know how to take care of their savings and are easily induced to put them wherever they are promised a big per cent, interest. ' - ". - However all this may. be," and "Un tie" Rufus Hatch looked . very serious, under any and all events, keep out of iWall street. 'Teach the public, to shun its precincts. ' It is simply suicide for a nan to go into Wall street with $100. If he had $100,000,000 that might do. My advice to thrifty persons is to keep the 100 saved and keep adding to it until it lias accumulated to a reasonable amount. Then buy an annuity for life or a paid up life insurance for your wife and chil dren." New York World. Another New Smoke Preventive. James Murphy, a Chicagoan, is the latest to come forward with a smoke consuming . device. Rather, though, is it Mr. Murphy's plan to-prevent- smoke,' and this he seems to do- very effectually by a patent arrangement which he places on boilers and stoves. 'It is the idea to catch and burn' the gases that are liber ated from the coal before they form the smoke. The smoke itself, the' inventor says, cannot be burned after it has once been formed, so he burns the gases. The principle is that of taking air up from the ashpit in a furnace through fire clay - pipes to a hot air chamber above the grate bars. From here it is thrown- from all four sides of the grate through a three-quarter inch, space which is left open all around the fire, the space being partially ledged over with a "lip" that throws the air across the furnace. The distribution of this hot air equally over the fire catches the gases from the coal before they are formed into smoke and ignites and burns them. . Thus only about 20 per cent. , of the usual amount of smoke contains no car bon, ia not dirty at all and is white instead of sooty. Mr. Murphy demon strates the principle of his device in a stove, where, the results are more easily seen. The stove is fitted with three fire clay pipes on each side to conduct the air. The stove burns any kind of coal or coke and from none of them can any smoke be seen to arise. The stove makes its own' draft from the'airshaft. ; The flame burns inward, and close to the middle pf the grate. An examination of the chimney shows no smoke going np. New York Telegram. - Xbe Leaning Tower at Sacagossa. A committee appointed to report on the famous Torre Nuova in the Plaza San Filiper, in the capital of Aragon, has issued a pessimistic account. It is feared that this clock tower a very fine example of the kind, will have to be pulled down. Excessive rains and floods have caused a subsidence of the soil and the structure is deemed unsafe. The construction of this torre inclinada was begun in the Fifteenth century, under the direction of two Spanish, two Moor ish - and one Jewish architect; it is octagonal in form, 800 feet high,' 45 in diameter, and leans about 10 feet out of the perpendicular. Stone steps. 260 in number, lead inside to the top gallery. ' It has been stated that the leaning of the tower was due to the caprice of the architects, but an old crack in its side and a careful examination of the founda tion led to the conclusion that it was want of care on the part of the builders. The Aaragonese speak of the ancient crack as an old wound in its side, of which the Torre Nuova is now dying. This "old wound" was under treatment in the year 1860, but an unfortunate re lapse threatens to result in an entire col lapse. Tablet A 8EMBLY NO. 4827, K. OF L.

Two young men near Los Angeles, Cal., are rapidly making a fortune slay ing coyotes. Last April they were not worth fifty dollars, but now they have $3,700 to their credit in bank and they are adding about $150 a week to their deposit. . They have fifty traps set, and with these and their rifles are rapidly thinning out the coyotes in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. At five dollars a scalp there is more -money in hunting coyotes than in growing grain or fruit, but the business will, probably come to an end when the next, legisla ture meets. The law which was passed as a joke has proved to be very costly pastime. San Francisco Chronicle. A. A.

A Russian journal reports an interest ing case of a philanthropic physician. Visiting the patients of his districts, the doctor found that in many instances their sickness was caused by hanger. To the most needy he prescribed "six pounds of pure rye flour in doses of two pounds a day." - He-ordered his patient to get the medicine at the drug store of the nearest village, where it would be issued free of , charge every day. The good doctor made arrangements with the druggist to supply the flour at his expense.' In this way his patients will be kep from starvation the whole winter. - A Chans ,n Electrle J-lght at Sea.
