Almost on the eve of his leaving the St. Vincent hospital at Portland, Pit McCoy was informed by his phy slclr.hs that the entire process of aet t'ng the crushed knee would have to be duplicated, says the La Grande Observer. This was made necessary, according to repoits, by the fact that the crushed knee had been Improper ly set at the time of the accident. A few days auo Mrs. J. P. McCoy of this city, went to Portland to re turn with her son. She had been in formed hy the mnnagement of the. hospital that by the first of January he sor would he in condition to leave the hospital. On arriving at Port land she learned that the sUge is far from ended, for the knee will have to be deliberately broken and reset. In a letter to her son in this city. Mrs. McCoy says that the physicians hid agreed on the reset, but no com munication has been received today saying whether or not the gruesome operation had been performed. It will be remembered that McCoy was severely Injured at Umatilla the last of November and since that time has been convalescent In the Portland hospital. Rlua Mountain Fur Crop.

Foreign Companies Doing Business TIicto to He Taxed on Their Entire Capital. The British chamber of commerce In Paris is endeavoring to obtain modifications of the provisions of a bill concerning foreign companies trading in France, which has recently been Introduced In the French parlia ment by the ministry. One of the provisions complained of compels all companies having branch offices in France to register and to pay a registration tax of per cent on the whole of their capital, and another compels the publication of the annual balance sheet in one of the officio! Journals. The British chamber of commerce says that It Is an organization com prising companies with a capital of $10,000,000 or over, whose turnover In France represents but a small por tion of such cnpitnl. nnd to tnx these companies with registration fees would be gross lnjU".;U-c and would be contrary to the fiscal principle" by which the "taxe de dividende" Is only levied on a certain proportion of the cnpitnl of foreign companies estab lished In France, where no such transfer tax Imposed upon the trans fer of property from the vendors to the company, and that such tax, al ready paid In the company's country of origin, can not be equitably im posed In France, where no such trans fer has taken place; that the Imposi tion of the tnx will lead to Its evasion by perfectly legal means and will seriously hamper the development of Important Industries. The publication of balance sheets Is a matter, less capable of adjustment than that relating to the registration tax, though the companies classed as private are not likely to see their way clear to comply with It, but as all French 'companies without distinction are subject to this formality, it Is hardly likely an exception will be made In favor of foreign undertakings.
