I remember, 1 remember, the hoops my best gal
wore
When first I went a-sparkln' her, way back
In '54
For when I'd see her home o' nights I allow
'twas kinder rough
To stump along the gutter, 'cause the walk
wa'ntwide enough!
i wonder, oh, I wonder, if this the truth
can be,
That the comin' hoopskirt's bigger than the
ones I us' to see,
An' if it's so I want to live just long enough to
glean
How the young folks nowadays are goin' to

OREGON'S ASSESSORS.
They
Hold a Meeting; in Portland and
Talk Oxer the Situation.
A meeting of county assessors was
held in Portland recently, at which was
present the assessors of Multnomah,
Clatsop, Linn, Clackamas, Douglas,
Morrow, Union, Lane, Baker, Sherman
aud Washington counties.
A good many grievances were aired
and there is no doubt the meeting was
productive of much good. Chief among
them was the matter of the state board
of equalization raising the assessment of
property at so high a figure, oftentimes
being higher than its actual cash value.
It is a fact which has caused much dis
satisfaction at The Dalles, one man in
this town to our knowledge being as
sessed $1 ,500 for a piece of property he
had tried unsuccessfullyjtojsell for $1,200.
Mr. Sterling of Douglas said that he has
had to assess cattle and hogs at $3.20
which could be bought for $1.50. He
would like to have the state board of
equalization get a front view of the live
stock in this county. "We are called
county assessors," he said; "we are
really county guessers, and the way the
state board 4now acts we are virtually
county listers, and the board sets the
values."
Assessor Hendricks of Sherman quer
ied : How could the assessors get out of
the plain provisions of the law, which
declares that assessors must list moneys,
notes and accounts? He believed that
no 'credits should be taxed, but the law
was plain. Mr. Sears claimed that
while one part of the existing law pro
vided for the assessment of notes, an
other expressly provides that no double
taxation can occur, and that a failure to
list mortgage notes had therefore as
much justification as it had opposition
in the statute. Mr. Hendricks said if
all would abstain from taxing credits of
every sort, he would agree to it; but it
would not be fair for notes secured by
real estate to escape when a note secured
by a horse, for instance, would be duly
assessed. Mr. Clark felt the same way.
He said that not a nickel of evidence of
debt was taxed but what was double
taxation, but he could not see'his way
clear as an assessor to make himself a
judge of the law. Sterling said: "If
there is to be litigation, let it come. I
projwse to assess everything in sight,
though I will not search the records for
evidences of debt." Several agreed to
this.
Mr. Sears, being asked how he
managed bank property, replied that in
the use of private banks he had guessed
at them high enough, so that they
would either have to acquiesce or go be
fore the county court and swear to their
true holdings, and in the case of national
banks he had divided the stock among
the stockholders pro rata.

The Dog Wr.s Not Touched.
In a parlor car on an eastern train
sat a richly-dressed young woman,
tenderly holding a very small poodle.
"Madam," said the conductor, as he
punched her ticket, "I am very sorry,
but you can't have your dog in this car.
It's against the rules." "I shall hold
him in my lap all the way," she re
plied, "and he will disturb no one."
"That makes no difference," said the
conductor; "I couldn't allow my own
dog here. Dogs must ride in the bag
gage car. I'll fasten him all right for
you " "Don't you touch my dog, sir!"
said the young woman, excitedly; "I
will trust him to no one!" and with
Indignant tread she inarched to the
bag-page car, tied her dog and returned.
About fifty miles further on, when the
conductor came alon? she asked him:
"Will you tell me if my dog is all
right?" "I am very sorry," said the
conductor, politely, "but you tied him
to a trunk, and he was thrown off with
it at the last station." Chicago News.

Engineering; Skill.
Speaking of the remarkable feats of
marine engineers, the Marine Journal
recalls the achievement of Richard
Peck, who at one time had charge of
the single engine of the old City of Vera
Cruz coming up from Havana. South
of Hatter as the piston rod went to
smash, breaking into three pieces. But
Peck, after twenty-four hours of con
tinuous labor, actually mended that
piston so that it was strong and true
enough to do its part with the rest of
the machinery, and he brought his ship
into New York harbor steaming six
knots. This was a deed which, in the
opinion of the Boston Journal, quite
eclipses even the recent notable per
formance of Engineer Tomlinson, of the
Umbria.
Klectrloal Prophecy.
It now lies within our means to build
an electric transmission of power plant
from coal mine to city, which shall cost
$300,000, and will transmit 5,000 horse
power ; this plant will do the work of
30,000 men steadily day and night, year
in and year out, and once placed will
last a life-time. The $300,000 represents
the work of the 30,000 men, for about
four days, or an outlay of $10 each ; thus
these men can build a plant in four days
that will do more work during their
whole lives than they can. Can any
thing appeal to the imagination of man
with more force? The energy of 5,000'
horses transmitted noiselessly over a
small wire, the coal from the mine
placed by one act immediately beneath
the boilers, the energy thence running
to its destination without any labor
from man ; the air to supply combustion
taken in the country, thus not robbing
the human being gasping for breath in
the city ; the smoke and foul gases being
thrown off where they will do no harm.
Think of a city free from smoke, its cars,
elevators, shops, run and lighted by
electricity which shall be generated miles
miles away ; and more, these electrical
currents will be used for heating build
ings of all kinds and also for domestic
uses, cooking, etc.
