Thai it bus not been col lected, at least Ihe greater portion of il, is certainly due lo dereliction on the part of our ofllcials in Ihe, pud, and We are glad lo see. the decided ac tion laken by our present County court in Ibis matter. If there are de linquent taxes standing against par lies who have died or lelt the country, or Hint ciinnol bo colluded from any cause, the fad should be ascertained at once and (he names of such per son stricken from Ihe list. So doubt a great portion of Ibn tax can ho collected, and the reason il has not been paid is on account of the la:: method of doing business , byonr for mer ollirial., and f he innate ciissed-ne.-s of many of tho parlies owing il . whose de.ire to heal somebody out of something, overballance- their feeble sense of patriotism, and Ihe feeling thai all nien should posse? tocoutrib lllo their share (owanl Ihe support of the government that protects them. In some cases it may be that they are not able to pay and would do mi if (hey could, but such cases are rare, lor it would seem thai If a man has enough property above his indebtedness to lie taxed on, bo certainly could raise enough money lo pay it al any lime. The I nvs for Ihe H.sse.sinenl and col lection of taxes should be more strin gent lliau I hey are. especially when applied lo Ihe collection of poll tax. A citizen of Ibis country who noes not possess manhood cuniiirli to pay his poll t'lx should be taught thai it is at leat worth a dollar a year lo be a free man, and lo that end , when he refuses to pay, he should be confined in jail a certain length of time, or made to work it out in some manner. SDMI-: yiioi,i:suME Titcnis. A gentleman writing from Ihe I'ine Creek mines to the Orni)itin of Ihe "tli insl. thus graphically describe the existing slate of affairs: ' 'The complaint of the l'luo Crcekers against heir boycott by a clique at Ma ker City appears to possess some Inun dation." As long ago Ms the time of Ihe constructing of Ihe L nioii-Coruu-eopia alleged wagon road, the above mentioned clique, probably anticipa ting it loss of the already considerable trade of the new mines, which they thought would tltid it--outlet via the new roiiil. begun to belittle the new discoveries and lo some miiiiII extent liiudeted Ihe legitimate growth of the ne camp b diverting travel to var ious polnls in llaucrnud C runt coun ties. .V good many traveler who were hound for l'ine creek, on arriving lit linker suffered themselves to be bent astray on wild goon) chase to this, that mid the other promising' ' discovery, unit ' 'Craulte, "(ireen liorn." and sundry other creeks ns Kiimcd more thiiu.'n wonted prominence feasting as it were, upon l'luo creek's reputation. Hence these complaints. "If the people of I'ine creek desire to gel rid of any Injiistioe exercised by the clique aforesaid, it will only be ne cc'sary to cause I ho so-called slate road to I'nlon to bu completed, when lhev will be ten miles nearer to Union, ii railway station, than t linker City.

Tlic people of Union county, who j bestirred lliein selves lo secure the ap propriation for die slate road, and de voted a large Mini of money to putting the county road in excellent order, will doubtless see to il that the. project of coutructing a practicable highway to Cornucopia is ultimately carried out . It would be strange if after the expen diture of many thousand dollars in road building, the mini important quartz, mining district in Oregon were to remain in its present, nearly inacces sible condition. It should not be for- ! gotten by the people of thu section till! 1101)1' should be the eondi'Mi punishment of the contractors who soshaiuofully vio- I luted their trusts in the coiitrtiv'(ioii of i the state road.
