A NEW ASSESSMENT LAW. .
Last year the Oregon State Grange ap
pointed a committee to draught a new
assessment law to be presented to the
next legislature. The committee con
sisting of R. P. Boise, J. Voorh'ees and
R. A. Irvine hare finished their labors
and submitted an advance copy of the
bill to the Salem Journal. It provides:
First. For precinct assessors.
Second. By more Clearly defining the
duties and responsibilities of assessors
and requiring of them that they use
greater dilligence in discovering property
' subject to taxation and also that all
property be assessed at its true vnlue in
money.
, Third. By requiring taxpayers ' to
make to assessors more full and perfect
lists of their property subject to taxa
tion, and providing adequate penalties
for their neglect or refusal to make such
lists. '
Fourth. By providing that all prop
erty shall be assessed to the person, com
pany or corporation who shall be the
owner thereof at 6 o'clock a. m. of the
first day of April of each year.
Fifth. By making more ample pro
visions for the taxation of foreign cor
porations doing business in this state.
Sixth. By limiting the amount of de
ductions of indebtedness of taxpayers.
On the subject of deductions of indebt
edness the committee Bay :
"Bona fide indebtedness (which al-
ways has a corresponding credit,) could
be justly deducted if both the credit and
debit could be ascertained by the
Assessor. Yet it is shown by our assess
1 ment rolls that the amount of indebted
ness deducted greatly exceeds the
amount of credits taxed. And it is be
lieved that the privilege given the tax
payer to deduct all indebtedness has
l)een fraudulently taken advantage of by
many taxpayers who have created in
debtedness for the sole purpose of. de
ducting the same, in order to escape
their just share of the public burden."
Editor Jackson of the East Oregonion
vigorously denies that he is a candidate for
'ongress. In connection with his denial
' -he has given to the world another of his
famous philosophic aphorisms that will
" surely cause his name to go thundering
-down the ages. Here it is, "To seek
'greatness is strong evidence of small
ness and inferiority." . So Mr. Jackson,
to the great grief of Eastern Oregon, re
fuses to be small or inferior. . He would
rather be a great editor than a small
congressman.
State Fruit Inspector D. M. Jesse re
ports that Goldendale orchards are ruin
ed by scale having attacked the trees
and killed many of them, others being
in a bad fix. The orchardists, however,
have taken the matter in hand and are
earnestly trying to kill off the pest.
Pendleton has decided that the city is
in need of good roads, and a local paper
suggests work to procure them. It says:
"Let's have all roads lead to Pendleton,
as they did to Rome, in the days when
she was the greatest city on earth."
The Southern Pacific oompany will not
submit to the. new schedule of the Ore
gon railroad commissioners,, but will
carry the fight to the highest court.
The submission of the Union Pacific to
the rates fixed by the commission will
effect an estimated saving to the people
of Oregon, on grain and stock alone, 4
$45,000. . ... .. .
The East Oreqonian says ; ."An open
river will increase the value of the pro
ductions of the Inland Empire-without
in the least increasing the cost of living
to the consumers.'' That's the right kind
of progress. If the result were to be
otherwise, an open river would- not . be
needed. - ' . '
The Salem Journal still has hopes that
Governor Pennoyer will -throw political
ambitions to the -winds, call the leglala
tnre - together - and secure - for Eastern
Oregon the building of the second port-
t age railway for the crop of 1892.
The bonded debt of the United States
has been reduced (259,000,000 during the
. present administration and the people
are at the same time relieved of taxa
tion to the amount of $60,000,000 a year,

- The bell used in the roof of the loco
motive cab to signal the engineer when
to Stop and start will soon ' be a thing of
the past. r; A new air train signal is fast
taking the place of the bell or gong, and
already all the passenger coaches on the
Lake Shore and Wabash railroads are
equipped with the air signal -instead of
the bell. The air signal is worked by
means of a small rubber or iron tube
that rnns under the coaches, like the air
pipes to work the air brakes. In the
locomotive cab there is an iron whistle,
and when the conduotor desires to stop
the train he prills on a short rope or lever
that allows the air to escape and the
whistle in the cab sounds the signal. It
is claimed that this is much superior to
the bell arrangement, for the reason, that
it works better on a long train.
The bell sometimes failed to respond
on long trains, and serious accidents oc
curred on that account. The bellrope
was also a handy thing for train robbers
to cut in order to prevent an alarm while
they were looting the wealth of the pas
sengers. The other leading railroads of
the conn try will adopt the air train sig
nal as soon as they can get it attached
to their coaches. .The , New York Gen
tral, Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio
and the Big . Four are having the new
system of signaling the "engineer at
tached to their trains. New York Tele

v A Naples Donkey Barrow Story,
A ridiculous incident is recorded by
our correspondent at Naples. There is
an asylum in that city for old people, in
the service of which is used a small don
key barrow on which is inscribed the
words "Little Sisters of the Poor," and
which is' generally used for collecting
old gifts, from the sale of which the in
stitute derives an income of about 20,
000 francs a year. The other day one of
the paupers fell and hurt his head, and
was conveyed in the cart, accompanied
by two nuns, to the Pellegrini hospital..
Just before reaching it the cart upset
and the donkey ran away and took ref
uge "in an office of the "Lotto." The
spectators and inhabitants of the neigh
boring streets immediately crowded to
the "Lotto" office to play the numbers
appropriate to the different persons and
objects connected with the affair 83, 86,
41, 53 and next day the office itself
placarded the following numbers at its
door, -with the heading, "Yesterday's In
cident 11, 41, 71, 90." London News.

A Bemarksble Court Record.
The jury on one case in the Biddeford
supreme judicial court disagreed last
week, and Judge Virgin improved the
opportunity to give them his opinion of
a jury that could not agree in words
which he said he would utter slowly, as
he wished to measure them.
After scolding them a little the jndare
said that in the eighteen years he had
held court in York county only four
disagreements had been reported out of
400 cases. This- is not a bad record.

In an Almshouse Thirty Years.
A woman died recently in an alms- j
house in Maine at the age of one hundred
years. She had been an inmate of the
institution for thirty years, and during
that period she had been, it is said, laid
out as' dead three times, but on each
occasion she came to life in time, to put
a stop to the funeral arrangements.
Only a few days before her .death an
undertaker was called to prepare her re
mains for burial, but when he arrived
she was sitting np in bed. Philadelphia

the locomotive. The plow extends from
a few inches above the track to the top

course in front. "Shoveling fog" is a
common . expression among railroad
men, but plowing wind ' is a new thing
