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.
A letter from fnalaska tells of the
arrival of a schooner carrying one
of the best equipped scientific expe
ditions that has worked In the North
Pacific.
The schooner, which set out from
Vladivostok In April last and has vis
ited Kamchatka and the Kurlle Is
lands, carries eighteen scientists,
whose expenses of nearly $100,000
are being paid by M. 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.
There- are also experts botanists,
geographers, zoologists and geologists.

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.
The complaint, as filed this morn
ing by the attorneys for the company,
Snow & McCamant of Portland, Is In
substance as follows:
That in said assessment for the year
1907 the assessor of Lane county as
sessed the property of the plaintiff
therein as follows: Transportation
rights and privileges over 73.90 mile
at $200, $15, ISO; personal property,
$75; total, $15,155.
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. Thi
plaintiff avers that the assessor ha
no authority and no power to levy a
second assessment on the railway
properties against the plaintiff, or any
one else whatsoever; that plaintiff has
no connection with the Oregon & Cal
ifornia Railroad company, or with the
Southern Pacific company except that
the plaintiff ships goods over the rail
way lines.

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.
