The 21 mills tax is composed of 4.3
state. 5 echool and 11.7 county. The
county levy, if all the taxes can be col
lected, will amount to $40,000. The ex
pense of the county for the year is about
$30,000 and $10,000 is allowed for del in
quents. If it proves to be a less sum
than that it will lessen the county in
debtedness by that amount. The county
indebtedness is about $70,000.
Charley Dall was the prosecuting wit

iB a worthless vagabond, and if all ac
counts are true, deserves a worse drub

make trouble between man and wife,
when, as is almost always the case, they
both made it warm for him. A man of
more brains than this tramp, whom Mr.
Skibbe fed for charity's sake, would not
try to alienate marital ties, even if he
had more foundation for his tales than
this man Dall.

ROA'cftSws" of "Oregon:
Recent Legislation Blade for Counties of
10,000 Population. "7 '
At the present time there is a great
deal of discussion in regard to the roads,
not only iu Multnomah county, but in
various sections ot the state. The ques
tion of the best ways and means of im
proving the county roads is being very
generally agitated. " . . -
The road laws of Oregon place the
supervision of county, roads under the
county court, but a provision is attached
that in counties of over 10,000 inhabi
tants or more, the court may appoint a
roadmaster to carry out the road work
and it can also prescribe his salary.
Another section has a proviso "that in
counties having a roadmaster, the
money shall be expended under his
supervision, and no road shall hereafter
be located until a report as to the advis
ability or practicability of such proposed
road is first made and filed by such road
master." Sectiod 10 of an act passed at the last
session of the legislature "for the laying
out or improving county roads, and the
levying of assessment upon adjacent
lands benefitted, to create a fund to pay
the same;" reads as follows : "All work
on said improvement shall be done un
der the supervision of the roadmaster of
the county or other competent person of
the county appointed by the county
court.
Before entering on the duties of his
trust, he shall take an oath to honestly,
faithfully and impartially discharge the
duties of. such trust, and shall execute a
bond payable to the state of Oregon for
the use of the parties interested therein,
in the sum of $3,000, which bond must
be approved by the county court or
county judge. ; Suit may be brought on
such bond by any person or corporation
aggrieved. The superintendent shall re
quire that all material used in making
such improvements be good and suitable
for the purpose for which it iB used, and
that all work on such improvement shall
be done in a workmanlike manner, and
shall conform to the requirements of the
plans and specifications for such im
provement adopted by the county court."
It Always Succeeds.
The greater effectiveness of newspaper
over sign or object advertising was lor-
ibly shown yesterday afternoon". Mrs.
E. M. Wiison lost a very valuable watch,
to the chain of which was attached a
coin of the old beaver denomination,
dated 1849, when Oregon was a terri
tory. Mr. Hans Hensen came into The
Chronicle office to insert an advertise
ment, having found the watch and be
ing desirous of returning it to its owner,
He had just been to the Times-Mount
aineer office, where he ordered a similar
advertisement inserted. . Previous to
this Mr. Fred Wilson had inserted a
lost notice for the same watch, and
which was already in type when Mr.
Hansen arrived. Consequently, the
editor knew to whom it belonged and bo
advised Mr. Hansen, who then left to
return it to the proper owner.
Mr. Hansen had the watch on exhi
bition a whole day in. the postoffice, but
it escaped the observation of both Mrs
Wilson and her son. No belter proof
is needed as to the superiority of news
paper advertising over other kinds.
Signs on fences, lithographs on the
sides of buildings, colored squares of tin
on telegraph poles command little re
spect, whereas the same advertisement
in a newspaper would impress the
reader with its value. It is worth ad
vertising or it would not pay. - - . -

Wedding Anniversary.
The sixteenth anniversary of the mar

celebrated last evening by a party at
their home. Whist was the order of the
evening, supplemented - with a dainty

justice. The host and hostess were
agreeably surprised at finding them
selves the recipients of -some exquisite
Chinaware, comprising plates, cups and
saucers and a salad set of thirteen pieces,
all imported goods and very handeome.
All present enjoyed themselves in a
manner befitting an event of this kind,

The February Overland Monthly is to
be a Northwestern number, almost ex-H
clusively made up of articles, stories,
poems and sketches, relating to Oregon
and Washington. These are profusely
illustrated by a great variety of pictures
of the most beautiful points in these two
states. ... ' '-
This has not been done by any great
effort on the Overland's part, but sim
ply by giving preference in selecting
manuscripts for the number to its regu
lar Northwestern contributors. Among
them are Frances Fuller Victor, Ella
Beecber Gittings, Ella Higginson, Her
bert Bashford, S. A. Clark, Rose Sim
mons, Carrie Blake Morgan, Frank C.
Teck, J. C. Nattrass, and other writers
well-known to Overland readers and to
the Northwest as well. It emphasizes
the fact that the Overland is the maga
zine of the whole west coast.

AN ELASTIC CONSCIENCE.
The Sin of It Lay Only In Being Found
Out With Her.
The penalty" attendant upon being
detected is the entire foundation of
many people's honesty. . A woman,
says a writer in the New York Recorder,
in whose . company I found myself re
cently; was relating with pride an in
stance of her shrewdness. She re
marked as a preface to her story that
anyone wlx expected to get the better
of her would have to be an early riser,
Said she:
"I went to the theater the other
night and after the play - a lady who
sat in front of me asked me if the
umbrella under her chair belonged to
me.
"I said no, and as no one else claimed
it she left it at the box office. It was a
lovely umbrella with a silver handle.
"Well, now the joke be-fins. About a,
week later I went to the theater and
asked if such an article had been found
and if they had it. I described it per
fectly and told when it was lost.
didn't say it was mine, but just let
them infer it. It was there still; the
owner had never called for it proba
bly never knew where it had been left.
They handed it out when I had an
swered all their questions, and I'm
that much in.
"I had just as g-ood a right to it as
the theater people, and it looked, after
a week, as if the woman who found it
wasn't going to put in a claim. I'm
going to get a hat with the money 1
saved by being wide awake, for I in
tended to buy a new umbrella."
Arabian Saddles. .
Some of the oldest equine habits
which horsemen ever imagined are to
be found in lands ' abutting on the
home of the Arabian, but where he
himself is not to be found; though, in
deed, the Arab himself has enough of
oddities. . The Kurds ride a tree cov
ered with plaited straw, quite flat and
padded with blankets. . This they
never remove from their horses, ex
cept occasionally to dry it out. The
horse is kept saddled day and night,
summer and - winter. This seems in
credible, but " is literally true. In
Turkestan the horse, under his saddle,
is covered with the Biblical number of
blankets, seven, which '. he likewise
wears at all times, and which are sup
posed to sweat him out and keep him
in condition. - -- - -
His Business, Exactly.
It was on a quiet street in Washing
ton, and the only sound that broke the
stillness was the cry of an old colored
man who was peddling bivalves from
a push-cart. His noise evidently dis
turbed ' somebody, for a window
opened and a woman thrust out her
head to say: "Dear me! what a great
clamor!" :.The man stopped his cart,
took off his hat and said, with a bow:
"Thanky, lady, thanky! Dat's what
is. . I's - de : greatest clammer in de

WftAT CIDER IS MADE OF.
A Glance at' the Raw Material In a Con.
nectiout Mill. -. - -"Them's
good cider, apples," said the
cider miller. '"Ain't not h in' the mat
ter with them."
"But they are windfalls for the most
part," said a New York Times corre-:
spondent,. "all -knotty and dried up.
Miserable things!" -
'Make tiptop cider, them " apples
will," persisted the miller.
'But I00U at the" rotten ones. Half
of the apples that I can see are touched
with decay, while a crreat many of
them are rotten from skin to skin.
Look at that," said the correspondent,
poking his cane into one of the apples, i
"Ihere isn't a sound spot in it" !
'That don't hurt 'em none for cider,"
answered the miller. "Makes the cider
all the better, some folks says."
How about the wormy apples? Are 1
they fit to make into cider?" J
The miller had talked long enough, '
and so one of the hangers-on about the
place volunteered a reply. --.'-
"Uuess you wasn t ever into a eider
mill 'fore to-day, was ye? If you had
been I reckon, ; you wouldn't ask no
questions about worms. Worms don't
hurt cider none."
The correspondent looked incredu
lous. : ...
"Don't you b'lieve it? Well, I tell
ye what t' do. When you go home to
night, just try an experiment. Wait
till it's dark, an' then take two apples
an go down in t' the cellar an' see if
you kin tell the difference 'twixt the
one with a worm into it an' t'other
one." -. ,
"What do you mean? Why do you
tell me to go down into the cellar?"
"Why, thab-'s the most darkish place
bout the house, ain't it? Don't take
no light with ye." .
"l!ut how am I to examine the apples
in the dark? of course, I shouldn't
know which was which Just by feeling
of them."
'Thunder'n lightning You didn't
s'pose I wanted ye t' go down there an'
set round a-feeliq' of the apples, did ye?
That wa'n't what. I meant. What I
meant was this: You jest .take a
wormy apple an' a sound - one an' go
down int' the cellar an' eat 'em, an' I'll
bet ye a shillin' you won't know when
you eat the worm."
The correspondent shuddered.
"Don't that, prove it?" ran on the
man. "Course it does. We put the
worms right int' the grater, 'long with
the rest. . How many of 'em they is we
don't know. All we know is that they
all turn into cider; an, the man ain't
livin' that kin tell when he's drink in'
the cider what part's apple juice an'
what part's worm Juiced
'Then, ag'm, we couldn't do no dif-
Frent if we tried. We - couldn't send
every wormy apple to a hospital and
doctor it with 'vermifuge till we'd
killed off the live stock. No, sir, the
worms has to go, an they'll keep on
goin', I s'pose, till one of them cruelty
to animxle fellers shuts down on it an
makes us 'gree to dose the worms with
chloryf orm 'fore we grind 'em up."
