EXPRESS 11 lil'SSIAXS EXPLORING IV ALEUTIAN ISLANDS An expedition similar to those early exploratory voyages to Alaska financed by the" rich Russian mer chant expeditions which resulted In the discovery of the resources of Alaska and the foundation of Rus sian colonies there, has reached At tu, In the Aleutian Islands.

Rlabushlncqy, a millionaire merchant of Moscow. The expedition contains a celebrat ed Russian ethnographlst, who Is making a special study of the natives of Kamchatka and of the Aleutian and Kurlle Islands. There Is also a meteorologist, who established three stations In Kam chatka and who proposes to estab lish others In the Aleutian group.

The Wells Fargo Express company will resist the payment of the tax as levied by Assessor Keeney, of Lane enmity, against the company's rlghU and privileges on the Southern TheU f to company's railway lines In La no county for 1907 says the Eugene Guard. A suit has been Instituted In the circuit court, seeking to enjoin the county from collecting the tax.

That said pretended assessment as aforesaid was transferred to the taj roll of Lane county for 1907 nnd a tax levied against the plaintiff In the sum of $231,40. 'of which $2.25 was a tax on personal property of th plaintiff, assessed at $73, and $229.21 was a tax levied upon the alleged transportation rights and privilege.. That it was the intention of the as sessor In levying the assessment of $15, ISO aforesaid to assess to the plaintiff the railway lines of the Ore gon & California Railroad company and all other railway lines In the county operated by the Southern Pa cific company. That plaintiff has no Interest what soever In said railway lines or In any tallway lines in Lake county. That the railway lines were likewise assess ed at such a sum as the assessor be lieved to be their value. That the assessment Included the value of the railway lines for all pur poses, Including their usefulness for transportation of express matter.

One of the latest types of swindle that has been perpetrated on some of the unsuspecting farmers of a west ern locality was worked this wise: There has been a good deal of talk about bovine tuberculosis In the state :i question, and, taking their cue from this, two fellows Joined hands tr fleece the dairymen of the section. One well dressed, wearing glasses and having a professional and learn ed bearing, went through a neighbor hood Inspecting the dairy cows, rep resenting himself to be a state dairy Inspector. In one Instance when he ran across a good looking herd of cows he con- demned a dozen animals as afflicted with tuberculosis, but he told the farmer In leaving not to say anything about it, but to sell them for what ever ho could get for shipment out of the state. Two or three days after this fakir No. 2, Informed on the quiet of what had been done, came along to the farmer's place and asked If he hnu any cows for sale. The farmer ex plained matters and thought himself lucky to get $20 a head for the sup posedly diseased cattle. When he learned a few days latei that the whole business was a fake pure and simple, tho dictionary was Inadequate to furnish words to ex press his feelings. Whether the vic tim of the game has recovered his property or not has not been learned. It Is a pretty good thing to give the good looking, gllbe talking stranger a mlde berth unless his Identity car be established beyond a doubt. Known For Its Strength!
