bootless patchwork:.
About half of the county assessors of
the state met in convention last week
and passed a set of resolutions favoring
the fising of a uniform time the noon
hour of the first Monday in March of
each year for making assessments ; the
completion of the listing of all property
within ninety days from that date; no
deduction for indebtedness and no as
sessment of credits ; the enforcement of
a lien on the property assessed for the
taxes Jc ied and the repeal of the law
that fixes the school and university tax
at five mills and the substitution there
for of a law that shall authorize the state
authorities to make the tax levy, for the
estimated expenses of the government
of the state in the same manner as is
done by the county court for county
purposes. . Another resolution was
passed by which the. assessors agreed to
notify each other of indebtedness claimed
by taxpayers in another county, and
still another, the most important of all,
requiring all property to be assessed at
its true cash value. This last resolution
passed by a vote of nine to six which
may be fairly accepted as an indication
of the chance it stands for being carried
out. In fact the key note of the result
of the entire set of resolutions was struck
when Assessor Sears of Multnomah,
after the convention had voted on the
last resolution, . said "that leaves the
question just where it was." The con;
vent ion leaves everything where it was.
Assessors will go on assessing property
At whatever value they choose to ut on
lit and not half of those who voted to re
iport deductions for indebtedness out
side their counties will ever report.
: Similar resolutions were passed two
;years ago and nothing came of them.
.As an effort to remedy the defects of a
bad assessment law the convention will
be a failure, as its predecessor of two
jrears ago was.

party are using a stuffed club to smite
the national democracy. If the Sun
presumes to represent the national dem
ocracy remove the stuffing from the
club at once but keep the club to knock
the stuffing out of the Sun contingent.

One room served for entrance into the

it. The little kitchen, partitioned off

story of how he came near being' de-
' Wared by a large army Of ; rats in the
. Baker coal bank.' , It was his custom to
cook his meal in the coal -bank at din
... . ner time. One day. as be was Bitting be-
'. fore a fire boiling his ' meat he was star-
' tied' to hear the noise' made by running
rats. The Odor of the cooking meat per
xneated the bank, attracted the attention
of the rodents and -they came tripping
along to the tire at a lively rate.
John says he thought the "old bob"

must have been fully 500 rats ' gathered
about him and his heart was in his
mouth. . He threw them a piece of the
' meat, and while they fought for it he

trine Crusted preserve. " ' . '. 1
We have been shown by Mr. and Mrs,
John Graves a unique and interesting
relic of the civil war in the.' shapey of a
half gallon jar of peach preserves which
were made in 1863.- 'The relic was Siren '
ta.Mr. and. Mrs. Graves, Oct 27, 1891," by '
Mrs. .Wash Roberts, ot, Bocheport, and,
its 'history is as follows: In 1881 John
Roberts joined the Confederate army
along with Ben, Sam and Jack Ray,
brothers of Mrs. Roberts. In 1863 this
lady and her sister-in-law, . Mrs. . John
Roberts, were together putting up pre
serves, jellies, etc They filled some jars
which they agreed not to open until their
brothers and husbands should, return
safe from the war. ' ' . .. ;.,
: It turned out that John Roberts was
killed, and as they did not all come bacav
the .ladies did not open their . preserves.
Time rolled on. Mrs. John. Roberts moved
to California, where she married again
and became the mother of several chil
dren and ! is : now dead. - Recently Mrs. ,
Wash' Roberts concluded she would send
some of these preserves to these children,
and also to give some, to her friends, the
Gravesee. The preserves are in first
class condition, of excellent flavor, and
would do doubt keep another quarter of
a century.. Wash Roberts has been for
many years a popular citizen of Roche
port, while Jack Ray is somewhere in
the state of Washington. Fayette (Mo.)

The Jews on the Malabar Coa.sU
The house of the British resident at
the Court of Cochin stands on the Island
of Balghatty, in the midst of the lagoon
and it is easy to visit from it both the
native and the British town. The most
curious thing in the former is the very
ancient Jewish settlement, which goes
back far beyond all authentic record,
and 'is in possession of a deed engraved
on metal which may well be as old as
the Seventh century A. L. ; much older,
that is, than any existing manuscript of
the Old Testament. Uow the Jews came
there is a mystery, but it is perfectly
possiDle nay, even probable that there
were commercial dealings between the
ports at the head of the Red sea and the
Malabar coast at an immensely remote
period.
The pepper trade, which has its main
center between Calicut and Tellicherry,
rather to the north, must be one of the
oldest in the world. M. E. Grant Duff
