Sheriff Blakkley has issued the fol lowing circular and cans'ed its general circulation. Taxpayers may well pay heed to its subject matter:. 1. If you pay . your taxes before March 15 you will be allowed a re bate of three per cent. 2. If you pay your taxes between March 16th and up to and including the first Monday in April, there will not be any rebate allowed and neither will there be any penalty or interest added. 3. If your taxes are not paid on or before the first Monday in April, then they will become delinquent, when there will be added a penalty ot 10 per cent., and the tax will also draw interest at the rate of twelve per cent per annum in addition to the penalty. 4. If you pay one-half of your tax es on or before the first Monday of April, then the remaiuiug half may run up to and including the first Mon day in October following, but if the last half ot the tax due is not paid by the first Monday of- October it be comes delinquent, and there will be added to such balance a penalty of ten per cent., nnd in addition such balance will bear interest at the rate of twelve per cent per annum from the first Monday of April until paid. 5. On all personal property taxes, j if one-half is not paid on or before the first Monday of April, the law com- j pels the sheriff to levy upon and col lect the same after May first, hence to prevent a levy upon pi;t i.al pro perty after ilay tnt it will be neces sary for one-half to be pai l as above stated. C. The law compels the sheriff to sell all lands upon which taxes have not been paid, and such sale shall'be held not later than March 1st of the year succeeding the year for which the tax levy was made. 7. The property will be sold to the person bidding the lowest rate of in terest, and certificates issued there fore, and deeds given to such proper ty sold, unless redeemed within three years from the date of such sale. W. H. BLAKLEY, Sheriff of Umatilla County, Ore. Politics and Business and All Sorts of Things. No wYork, Fob. 24. The members of the present boards of managers of the charitnble and reformatory Institu tions are not entertaining the most cordial feelings towards Governor Odell because of his determination to carry out his program for the re organization of the state board of charities. The bill which mis been drafted for the purpose will be even more drastic than the governor's re commendation in his annual message, i and that is saying a great deal. In-1 stend of twelve members Up bill pro-i vides for only five, each ot whom will serve for four years, provision being made so that the entl -e board will not go out of office at the same time. All the present boards will be abolished, and the new state board of charities will have supreme power to regulate the affairs and appoint the superintendants and stewards of the different institutions. It seems strange that in spite of all his protestations of sincerity uk public generally seems to .vit Mttle faith in the announcement that Rich ard Croker has retired permanently from politics, especially as lity concern the management of Tammanv hali. Because of the rather general belief that he has placed Mr. Nixon at the head of Tammany to do his bidding a fact which has been of the greatest annoyance to Mr. Croker and the new leader, Mr. Nixon and that he intended to return again to the helm as In 1897, it is reported that the ex-chieftan of Tammany has arrived at the determination to re mnin for a number of years in Eng land, to show that his retirement was genuine and permanent. Tjhere are only four of the fourteen Brooklyn repub.lieans appointed to investigate the Sheriff Guden elec tion scandal who have not refused to serve. Among those who decliued to be associated with the matter is ex Mayor Schieren, who is persistent and outspoken in his declaration that what the people of Brooklyn want is not merely the removal of Guden, but "that every one of the leaders charged with wrong-doing be put out of their positions of power in the par ty." Even Lieutenant-Governor Timothy Woodruff, who at first char acterized the charges against Guden and Dady as ridiculous, now sees the matter in a different light, and says that "when the president of a bank at the instance of a director whom the stockholders have elected to the board assigns a position to one who defrauds the bank, both the president and all the directors should admit their responsibility and waste not a moment in argument on that score, but proceed with the greatest dis patch, without blustery or hypocricy to right the wrong done to the insti tution, serving the interests of the depositors and stockholders as we propose to guard the interests of the republican party in the borough of Brooklyn." Politicians are watching the developments with interest and to Tammanyites the situation Is especially interesting. WILD HORSE ROAD. Adams People Wish Some Repairs Made in the Highway. There is a continual complaint poured in on us about the road down Wild Horse creel: to Pendleton, says the Adams Advance. The grades have beon washed away until it is impossi ble for teams to pass each other for some distance in several places, and tlen there are other places where tho grade never was made wide enough for teams to pass, and there are em bankments on the side so that anyone travelling the road after dark is in danger of life and Jlmb. Such places should be made wide enough or a rail ing put up to prevent teams going over. It was only a few weeks back when a gentloraan and his family were going home, having been. detain ed until after dark, went over one of these places and the buggy turned over two or three times before It reached the bottom. The wife with a babe in her arms was thrown some distance but were picked up uninjur ed. Such good fortune would not oc cur again in the course of human ovents. Wo think it would be cheap er to fix these things than pay or oven defond dnmage suits, which are sure to come unless something is dono. Favorite Nearly Everywhere.

Continuous advertising, on the other hand, will bring ample rc turns for tho money Invested. Suggestions. Not for a long time has the equan imity of Wall street been so disturb ed as it is over the collateral tax de cision of Commissioner Yerkes, of the internal revenue. The ruling of the department is that any memoran dum evidencing the delivery of stock as security for a loan, calls for a stamp of two cents for each $100 of par value of the stock disclosed therein. A memorandum of pledged securities made on a promissory note calls for the tax. A memorandum of delivery made on a continuing agree ment is to bo taxed, and so Is either "substitution" or stock withdrawn from one loan and to be placed In a npw loan. Among brokers the opin ion prevails that if this ruling Is strictly enforced, tho effect will be serious. It is believed, however, that the injustic can be made appar ent at Washington to the degree that thoro will bo a modification of tho ruling, or possibly quick repeal of that clause of the law by congress.
