Soma of th objection rnied against an ueiation are rery shortsighted, one that l offered Is that anueiation would incren. taxation without correapondlngly advanc ing the value of real properly. This reason ing Is fallacious.. Taiatton is levied upon fir appraisement o( th marketable value of real estate, and If anueiation will not In crease that valuation In open market, nei ther ran the rat of taxation be increased. In addition to th tax already paid, uburhau resident, In th event of annexa tion, would bt required to pay a municipal tax.

In this enlightened ag fosillsm Is out of 1 lie. Th world has progressed, and thoa who would lrav tli Impress of their Uvea upon futurt generation have progressed with and beyond th times. This Is the history of the past, and will b tli history of the futur. Keforru ers, savants and sup-s In all a-es of the world ha broken away from their envl rotiments of thought, and sentiment and life, and have stcpd out into th full light of enlarged conceptions. Covrnicus was a liberal, and we ow to his liberalism our knowledge of the planets which shine npon us from the heavens above. He toreaaay the copper and brass lining of th sky and revealed the mysteries which superstition, and hftioranc and fossilism !, I created. Ma m IM mmtrnt mr 11 n" a, and lu U(;ht ait hrilltancy slionedown the vista of the futur, Illuming and mark ing but th way for his disciples. Colum bus, too, deserves a conqueror's crown. He battled with and overcame th superstition that th world as square, by demonstrat ing lis rotundity. Th long accepted theory that the earth was made complet and populated in six days of twenty-four hours each, was over thrown by an Ignorant miner, w ho laid the foundation of geological science by observ ing the distinctiveness ot thescver.d forma tions while lig lowered into his mine. In morality and religion; in all branches of knowledge, and in th things erUiniug to the scienreof life, innumerable references could be offered to prove thnt to follow in the rut prescribed and laid down by custom Is detrimental to the best interests of society, both local and universal, provided always that we do as we please so lung as w pleas to do right. Th motto of a wcll-ordsred life Is "that the good of one is the concern of all." This Is the broad platform of human freedom, and npon this platform may stand the diver sified interests of th whole human family. This obliterates selfishness, Is unmindful of the present and builds for future genera tions. To be sure, we cannot all be reform ers; we cannot all stand In the front ranks but we can encourage and support those Who lead the van. And if our individual gains are small, the accumulated gains of the whole will well repay our self denial. Beck the truth and when you find It, lovo it, and let it be the guld of your life. THE DIFFERENCE. Consistency Is said to l a Jewel. Bonis days ago a few hogs were found on the street contrary to a city ordinance and were promptly taken up and must pay the pen alty. Over and attain, In fact almost con tinuously, have the saloons been open on Sunday, contrary to lust as positive a city ordinaries, but they have been unmolested. Th city marshal has been just as stirs that th saloon men were violating th law as that the dumb brutes ware ami so has the city council. Why punish the Ignorant beaxtaad let the wilful violators go free. I'olk County Itemizer It appears to be the duty of a good citizen like Brother Wash to attend to the little matter of Sunday desecration if th town officials refuse or neglect to do their duty'. Or, perhaps, In Dallas it wouldn't pay for n editor to make complaint before the propr authority. It Is alway commend able to perform an unpleasant duty one's aelf, and very dishonorable to shift the re sponsibility on to other shoulders. throws prabe on the famous musician, ai also on th management In scouring him.

SATURDAY THE LAST DAY. Saturijyy of this week will be the closing day of the great Industrial Exposition at Portland. In nearly every respect the fair has been a inaguillcicnt success, and has been an able conveyai.ee to the general public of ideas concerning the resources and advantages offared by this grand common wealth. The machinery department was 11 that could have been expected; it was tiberb. The enterprising deulers and manufacturers who were represented with an exhibit, left nothing undone which would add attractiveness and splendor to the same. In fact tins rule appeared general. A sort of friendly strife seemed prevailent that the efforts of each exhibitor might outdo in attractiveness those of his contemporaries. The fut stock show was such as to rocclve the applause of everyone and contained tome as spendld representatives of the bovine tribe as any state can produce. It was a good illustration of what Oregon can claim In the way of the stock industry, and In which respect it is second to no state In the union. Not least among the attractions has been Llbcratis'fumons orchestra of fifty pieces.

West Shore ; With but few exception! the pre of Oregon ha taken up the question of proper representation of the state at Chicago, in a spirit of intel ligent enwrurue. If something credita ble is not done it will not be the fault of the pren. Yamhill County Reporter: The editor of this paper believe that a million would be small euougb amount to rep resent us at the worid slair in a proper and creditable manner. Orcgonlan : If the state of Oregon Is to have a creditable exhibit at the world'a fair it will be necessary to ap propriate a large sum of money for it. Who will take this In hand 7 1'erhapa a committee ot the Mtate Hoard ot Com raerce would be as proper an agent ai any ottier to consider thla Question. draw up a plan for the exhibit and make an estimate ol the cot. The plan should be large enough to do justice to the re sources and product of the state. Lakoviow Examiner: We know that Senator Cogswell an. Representative Hinder are repreienative and liberal minded men, and we believe that when the question for an appropriation cornea before the legislature fur an Oregon ex hibit at we world s lair, mey win be in tho front asking for a liberal sum to properly represent this great state. Albany Herald : When a liberal ap propriation is asked for this purpose it should be given without hesitation. In point of wealth and natural resources, Oregon stands in the foremost rank of the Pacific Coast states, and her exhibit at the world's fair should be on a scale brood, and big enough to let the world know that Oregon is really a great state and that her people are progressive and enterprising. o o o w tf o w EH P o w CorreHpoi uIcmkv.

I actu ally felt sorry lor the people of Utah and Nevada, where everything is dry ami pun heil, with light crops, CMpcuiully po laloes. in Oregon our crops never lull home one may ask, where is the Alpine fa rni ? It is what tis once known us the Howard place. I have christened it tlio Alpine farm hccutiHO it is tliu highest farm In this neighborhood il not in Ihu county. The farm is noted fur its alti tilde; its lion springs of pure water, live in number; its hazel brush nnd big red apples; also, for its poor buildings and poorer fences. It has lieen rented live years, which accounts for its dilapidated condition, J nut iiow it will appear in the future ilepends This Alpine farm is situated In South Oregon City, on 4-lth street, No. one. There is a prospect that in the near fu turo all roads in the suburbs will be named, nnd all farm houses numbered When this is done the county road run ning on the south side of Ihu Alpine farm will probably be known as Alpine street, nnd tlio writer's place, known as No. 1, 1! and 3, as the ease may bo.

Pot hunters will look u little out for tres pass notices ty ihu way have you Noinn trespass notices printed on buck skin? If not get up Home for me, and I will fan ton them up with steel wire nails, lor i mean ihihiiichm The Alpine farm is not for sale, 1 think you Holii.'itod opinions regard ing tho repeal of tlio mortgiigo tax law. I will therefore give you my opinion. 1 am opposed to tlio reptal of said law, for tho following reasons, viz: Ihu perHon who has money to loan secured it by note and mortgiigo, 11 said law Is ro pealed he pays no tux on so much of his money hh im secured by mortgage, (anil quite a number of persons havo nearly ull their money in mortgages.) I believe money, notes, mortgages, and ull kinds of securities, should pay fieir propor tion uf tux us woll nfl the hard working farmer pays on bis farm and stock, I also am upposed to tho repeal of the UHiiry law. I do not court discusion ou those questions, but hulktve 1 am voicing tho Hoiitlmont of u majority of tho farm ers of Oregon in my opposition to tlio re peal of these laws. 1 w ill cIoho Huh already too long letter, und uxUiinl to Ton Knticiu'IUHis my best winlieH, Yours, truly, .1.
