ers. Marlon county will be asssessed ut
full cash value this year, according to
the Salem Statesman, which contains
the following mention of the subject
In Its hisue of Thursday, March 1:
The property owners of Marlon
county will be called upon to keep
down their rising ire thla spring as
the aSHOHBor's deputies come around
to Hat their property for taxation pur
puses. A new plan of assessment has
been adopted and It Is In accordance
not only with the letter and spirit of
the law. but with the best modern
Ideas of taxutlon everywhere. Prop
erty is to be listed by the assesaor at
Its reaaonable coah value or nearly so
that Is. the cash value Is to be the
basis of all assessment.
This may not bo popular to begin
with and a good many persons may be
Inclined to feel hurt, when they see
their valuation largely Increased over
that of post years, but so long as the
valuations are In equal proportion
throughout the county, the system is
the best and most equitable that can
be followed, and In the end will make
no difference In the amount or pro
portion of Individual tax paid.
For Instance, If the county valua
tion be 30 millions, It will be neces
sary to levy one-third as many mills
on the dollar to raise the necessary
county tax or state tax or school tax
as would be necessary If the valuation
were 10 millions, nor will the propor
tion of the Individual be any greater.
The reault In Multnomah county this
year la an Illustration, where the levy
Is only 16 mills altogether, whereas It
has been 40 mills heretofore.
There Is no good argument for as
sessing property at one-third or less
of Its value. There Is nothing to gain
bv it and there Is a Exeat dent tn lose.
First, the valuation of a county or
state makes a poor showing abroad,
unci second, there Is always a high
levy on a low valuntlon, which fright
ens prospective homeseekcrs and In
vestors. An honest cash value assess
ment, with an economical administra
tion of affairs 'makes the best com
bination for any county.

FLOl'H TO VLADIVOSTOK.
Portland Mills Will Send 60,000 Bar
rels Tills Month.
Six thousand tons of flour, equiva
lent to 80,000 barrels, will be sent
from Portlund this month to Vladi
vostok, says the Oregon Dally Journal.
A deal for the cargo, which will be
supplied by the Portland Flouring
mills, has been closed. The shipment
will be made on a tramp steamer, the
charter of which will probably be an
nounced In a day or two.
This will be the first cargo sent di
rect from Portland to Siberia for more
than two yeara. Prior to the Russo
Japanese war considerable foodstuff
was sent to Vladivostok. Of late the
sound shippers have received a num
ber of substantial orders for flour
from the Siberian importers.
During the winter months the port
at Vladivostok has been blockaded
with Ice, but early next month It will
open to commerce. It Is planned to
have the steamer sail from Portland
the-Wtter part of March, and It will
require about 36 days for her to com
plete the voyage, so that on her ar
rival the harbor will be free of Ice.
When necessity demands It, some
freight Is shipped to Vladivostok In
midwinter a channel to the port be
ing cut by means of boats built for
that purpose.
The resumption of traffic to Asiatic
Kussla from Portlund after a period
of more than two years exporters take
as an Indication that shipments will
be made regularly from this time for
ward. It Is pointed out that the coun
try Ib rapidly recovering from the rav
age8 of war, new enterprises are be
ing started and lurge quantities of
produce and other foodstuffs will be
required.
As they can be procured more
cheaply from the Pacific coast ports
than elsewhere. It Is expected that a
number of shiploads will be dispatched
across the sea from Portland and the
aound during the coming season. A
number of years ago canned goods,
apples and vegetables of all sorts
were exported to Siberian ports from
Portland.
ALL-STEKL CAItS IN DEMAND.
They Arc Itnrridly Becoming the Stan
dard Equipment.
Pittsburg. Pa., March 2. In the re
port of the Pressed Steel Car company
for the year 1806, President Hofstot
says that of the cars ordered by the
isjiivuqh III me uuiieu nmica in
almost 60 per cent were all-steel or
steel under frame construction, and
that this class of rolling stock Is rap
idly becoming the standard for rail
road equipment.
Less than 10 years ago the company
built the first all-steel car used in the
regular freight traffic, while at the
end of 1905 there were approximately
6011,000 all-steel and steel under frame
cars III use. The all-steel passenger
car, having the general endorsement
of btith steam and electric lines, should
make Its way rapidly Into the public
favor. Works for the conatruction of
passenger cars separate from the
freight car shops are now almost com
pleted, and soon will be In actual op
eratlon, as a number of orders have
already been booked for all-steel
slwum and electric cars.
The report says that the operation
of the forge plants at Allegheny has
been satisfactory, ond the difficulties
heretofore experienced In procuring a
proper supply of forgings have been
eliminated. The building of a forge
plant at MeKec's Rocks has been or
dered, and this, when finished, will
relieve the forge situation and make
the company Independent of outside
manufacturers. It was decided not tn
renew 'operations In Jollet, 111., but to
remove all the machinery that could
be profitably employed to Allegheny
nnd McKee's Rocks to be used In con
nection with the additions to Increase
the output of these plants. With
these udditlons end Improvements the
McXee's Rock plant will have Its
daily output Increased to 60 cars.

Formerly Refused to Accept Ship
ments of liquor Destined lo Xet
Perec Reservation, But It Has Now
Decided to Accept All Such Tills
Change of Plan by tho Company
Will lesson the Cost of "Booze" on
the Reserve,
Lewlston, March 2. Booze on the
reservation country will now perhapa
be cheaper and better. Yesterday
Agent Jordan, of the Northern Paci
fic, received notification from Henry
Ulokcly, general western freight agent
of the company, announcing that here
after shipments of liquor for reserva
tion points could be received.
The action of the company Is prob
ably due to the decision In the Dick
habeas corpus case, In which the fed
eral court of appeals held that the
liquor prohibition clause of the treaty
with the Indians was unconstitutional.
The act opening the reservation
aside from denying the right to sell
liquor there, also made It a peniten
tiary offense to Introduce liquor on the
reservation lands. So long as liquor
was destined to some point beyond the
reservation, and not to be unloaded
there, the goods could be carried over
the land.
In view of the fact that nil the N.
P. stations on the Clearwater and
Lapwal branches are on the reserva
tion, the company up to this time has
refused to carry shipments of liquor,
unless already conaumed. for the rea
son thnt It would necessarily have to
he unloaded on the reservation at one
of the stations, and this would be a
violation of the law.
The condition resulted In develop
ing a large freighting business from
I.ewiston and Kendrlck, the closest
points to the Pierce country, to the
Elk City mining region, to the Camas
prnlrle and to Buffalo Hump. Even
prior to the decision In the Dick case,
there was also a good deal of liquor
hauled to reservation points, where
"bootlegging" Joints were maintained
Inasmuch as these latter shipments
had to be made secretly, usually being
sent out of the city at night, there
had to be added to the ordinary cost
some extras, because the man who
"carried the goodB" also took a chance
at the penitentiary.
Now, bv the action of the railroad
company. In accepting shipments, the
old order of things has entirely passed
away. The company will haul beer
to Stites from Lewistnn for 3S cents
per 100 pounds and win bnul whiskey
and wine for 60 cents. This is per'
haps one-sixth of the old cost of haul

One of the biggest horse deals that
has ever been made In the state Is
one that was consummated In the
Ruby valley last week when the big
band of Raymond horses was sold to
a North Dakota buyer, says the Dillon
Mont., Record.
The deal Included 00 head of the
famous Belmont stock farm horses
owned by the Hlllhoase Raymond es
tate. The deal was made by W. H.
Raymond, administrator of the estate,
and Buyer Hart of North Dikota, and
runs up Into the thousands.
The price reported as having been
paid was $32.50 per head straight
through. All of the horses of the
Raymond estate were sold except
those which were left to Mr. Lane and
which he picked out from the bunch
before the deal was made. It Is stated
that all the animals purchased will be
shipped at once to North Dakota.
The Raymond bunch of horses is
probably better known than any other
of its kind In the state and horses
from the Belmont fnrm can be found
In every part of the state.
CONSI M1TION INCREASING.
Average Now Is Fnur Hundred Deaths
Per Day.
Does the reuder of this paper real
ise that this very day, In this country
alone, 400 homes are each made sad
by the death of a victim of consump
tion? Tomorrow will be a repetition
of today's calamity, and so It will go
on until tho people come to realize
the fact that a very large number of
these deaths are entirely unnecessary.
Consumption Is both a contagious,
nnd curable disease In Its first stages.
Yet many intelligent people do not re
alize this fact.
As our druggist, Mr. Brock, of Brock
& McComas Co., says, "drugs and
cough syrups for bronchial and lung
troubles ure only pulllntlve nnd do no
permanent good; they may deaden
tho cough and stimulate the patient
for a time, but they do not cure, and
they usually upset the stomach and
have a bad after effect."
Eminent physicians, however, agree
thnt when the symptoms of lung trou
ble first appear, If the patient will ob
tain all the sunshine by day, and fresh
air by night possible, eat sound bread
stuffo, good meat, eggs and milk In
abundance, and take the best cod liver
preparation to be found, they will em
ploy the surest means known for a
cure.
The undersigned will guarantee VI
nol to be the best cod liver prepara
tion. It Is not a patent medicine, as
everything In it Is printed on the bot
tle, and It contains In a highly concen
trated form all of the curative, body
building, medicinal elements of cod
liver oil actually taken from fresh
cods' livers, but no oil to clog the sys
tem, upset the stomach and retard Its
work. Any one can try Vlnol on our
guarantee to refund their money If It
falls to give satisfactory results. Brock

MAIL CLERKS EASY
It Is a sad story, one of death and
serious Injury to large numbers of
men, which Is told by Postmaster
General Cortelyou, In reply to the
resolutions of Inquiry regarding the
casualties to railroad mall clerks In
troduced by Senator Tillman.
Mr. Tillman, In asking for the pas
sage of his resolution, explained that
he had been reading various newspa
per reports of railroad wrecks in
which mail clerks had been killed or
Injured, and that he felt that congress
should have at Its disposal all the In
formation available on the question,
with a view of enacting suitable leg
islation for the protection of this class
of government employes, should such
action be advisable.
Mr. Cortelyou reports that during
the year 1901 there were 8978 railway
postal clerks in the country, and that
during that year there were 826 rail
way accidents to trains hauling postal
cars. Seven clerks were killed out
right, 63 seriously Injured, and 299
slightly injured.
The Death Roll.
The figures for succeeding years do
not give any Idea of the total number
of accidents. Only those In which
clerks were Injured were reported.
In 1902. nhie clerks were killed, 88
were serlousry Injured and 392 slight
ly Injured. In 1903, 22 were killed, 78
were seriously Injured and 398 slight
ly Injured. In 1904. 21 were killed,
90 were seriously Injured and 848
slightly Injured. In 1905, 12 were
killed, 126 seriously Injured and 386
slightly injured: Or, in five years, 64
clerks have been killed, 444 have been
seriously Injured and 163 slightly In
jured. The Tillman resolution was directed
especially to the character of con
struction of railway postal cars. He
wanted to find out to what extent this
loss of life and injury were due to
poorly built cars. In late years It has
been the policy of the government to
demand that mall cars be built in part
of steel, and Mr. Tillman wanted
to know how such cars had withstood
the shock of accidents as compared

of the postmaster general gives all
this Information.
The Mull Cars.
The old wooden cars cost from $5,
000 to $6000 to construct, and the
steel ctrs from $7000 to $8000. The
former weigh about 80,000 pounds
and the latter from 100,000 to 125,
000 pounds, according to the quality
of Bteel used.
At the close of the laat fiscal year,
there were 1173 postal cars on all the
roads of the United States, 736 of
which were built since 1893, when the
specifications of the postofflce depart
ment, demanding stronger cars, be
gan to apply.
In May, 1904, these specifications
were revised with a view to additional
safety for postal clerks, and to meet
the demands of the fast mall service.
One hundred and eighteen postal cars
have been built since the revised
plans went Into effect, to say nothing
of 40 old cars which have been re
built to meet the specifications.
One all-steel car, built by the Erie
road several years ago, has not yet
been In a wreck. Two all-steel cars
are now being built for the New York
New Haven & Hartford railway. The
Pennsylvania Is also to build a steel
car. The Santa Fe has contracted
for 39 mall cars, eight of which have
been delivered, to be constructed with
an underframing of pressed steel, and
with the flooring of the same metal,
Over the steel floor a layer of cement
will be laid, and on top of that a layer
of felt, with a strong wooden flooring
over all.
Steel as a Protection.
The statistics submitted by Mr. Cor
telyou show that when the mall cars
built after the government specifica
tions have been In wrecks, they have
escaped with slight Injury as com
pared with that done the baggage
cars, the engines and the smoking
cars. The loss of life among postal
clerks has been correspondingly small

were a part of the wrecked train.

built more than 10 years ago, or be
fore the government specifications, Is
sued In 1893, had had time to go into
full effect. Nearly all of these have
since passed through the shops for
general repairs or for rebuilding. But
It Is obvious that cars built as long
ago as 1869 and 1870, as some of them
were, and in the years Immediately
afterwards, cannot be made accident
proof, even by going through the
shops, and It Is quite possible that
congress may take up the question of
radically hastening the retirement of
such cars and the building of those of
more modern type.
Five of the cars now in uae were
built In 1869. three In 1870, one In
1871. six in 1872, eight in 1873, one
In 1874, five In 1876, four In 1877,.

If there Is to be such action In con
gress, the Tillman resolution of In
quiry will be the starting point for It.
The record of deaths and accidents Is
a serious one, and the senate, at least,
seems willing to do something to
shorten It If possible.
