hold entirely, yet for seven months ahe

She was a fine musician, playing the piano

the largest tax which can be levied by
the trustees, and the charter can only
ba changed bv the legislature. One

Vwlaewf ta I.cl Paper,
The late Hon. David Davis once said :
"Each year every local paper gives from
$100 to $.1,000 in free Unas for the bene
fit of the community in which it is locat
ed. No other agency can do this. The 1
local editor, in proportion to bis means,
does more for his couotry than any other'
ten men; he ought to be supported, not
because you happen ta like or admire his
writings, but becauflp a local paper ia the
best investment a community can make.
It may nut be brilliant or crowded with
great thoughts, but financially it is more
l'aoeneflt to a community than a
preacher or a teacher. Understand me
now, I do not mean morally or intellect
ually, but financially, and yet from a
moral standpoint you will find a majority
on the. right side of the question . To-day
tha editors of local papers da the most
work for the least money of any men on
earth. Support your local paper, not as
a charity, but as an investment.

A Bilious man s swdom a breakfast

excellent appetite for liquids but none
for solids of a morning. His tongue will
hardly bear inspection at any time; if it
is not white and furred, it is rough, at
all events.
The digestive sytem is wholly out of

Wallace R. htruble, ecn;tary of the
Oregon immigration bord, has made his
annual report. Mr. t-trublc estimate
that the totil number of people repre
sented at the Uunl rooms during tho
year was 12,820. "The amount of cash
capital brought into the state by these
new comers it of touito largely a matter
of conjecture. Taking the former esti
mates of the board as a basis of calcula
tion at the present, we have (allowing
each head of family the um of $1500) a
total of $0,410,400 for the year. Very
many new comers have been men of ex
tensive means. During the year one
man reported his cash capital at $50,000;
several declared themselves possessed of
$25,000 apiece; and over fifty, a cording
to their own statements, brought $10,000
apiece. So that the above aggregate
estimate would likely be largely in
creased If the actual financial status of
every new-comer could be known. It is
perhaps fair to say that not over one
half of the actual immigration for the
year has reporteJ at the board rooms.
Close observation would indicate that
not over one-third the arrivals so report.
But estimating on the basis of oue-balf
(which is ceitaiuly conservative) we
have an actual cash increase to the state
from immigration during the year of
$12,820,000. and a grand total of arrivals
for the year of 2.1,610. If we we.e to
figure ou the basis of oue third, the
result would be: Total arrivals, 38,460;
cash capital, $10,2:10,000. On either
basis, however, there is a good allowing
for the year a showing which the ex
perience ef th whole Mnte will fully
confirm."

"I don't see wh:it could make the dif- J
