Hamlet was deterred from shuffling ofif this mortal coll because of uncer tainty as to what might await him In the realm bey'ond the great divide. "Thus conscience does make cowards of us all," he asserts In a sublime eo lffioquy. Without a metaphysical analysis of conscience, we. may aver tihat, wheth er operating through fear or favor, It has served1 to prevent many wrongs. Tlhat it has also righted many wrongs is equally true, and a recent instance of this kind is re lated by Justice Jesse J. Dunn of the supreme court of Oklahoma, who recently received this communication from a resident of Wajllowa, Oregon: "Daar Sir It appears to my mind that I Heft that county in your debt, or .will you please send me the bill of how 'much I owe you, and I wE.1 pay you with interest, I have found Jesuis, and he tells me to find my creditors and pay my back ac counts." The account was s'a old that Judge Dunn had forgotten the exact amount but he wrote the Oregon man that a remittance of $5 would settle the debt. A check was shortly forthcom ug,. with a postacrllpit hope that pay er and payee ml&htt meet in heaven. . Even "where ib'Js the Oregon" we find a confirmation of the truth of the Shakespearean line. The quick ened conscience of the Wallowa citi zen led him tto fear that his finan cial delinquencies might cause him Hi fear "a crown' of righteousness NEW COPPER CIRCUIT. The new copper clrcuit.between La Grande and Joseph is- completed and ;was put in operation Thursday, The service is- perfect and will prbve a great convenince to business men' and the public generally, and espec ially to those who have the Home Independent in residences or busli nes' houses.

(Edgemand and others petition the court pray ing for the loea'lon of a county road, comes on to .be heard, and It appeirlng to the court that.eald -proposed itmd ta in Wallowa county Oregon ajixl ithat said petition is signed iby twelve and more free holders of said county and state residing in the vicinity of said pro posed road and that the petition correctly describe the beginning, Intermediate points and terminus thereof, and ft further appearing tc the court by affidavit filed therein and due and legal notice of presen tation of said petition to this court notifying all persons that applica tion .would be made by advertise ment posted at the place of holding this court and three other public places in the vicinity of said pro posed road and It further appearing that a bond conditioned according to tew has been filed herein which bond is hereby approved. It is 'therefore hereby considered and ordered that the prayers of said petition be granted. The road viewers artf hereby order ed to vlaw and lay out said road according' to the law on the day of 1910, and of their pro ceedings make due and legal return (Continued on last page.) The county court adjourned Thurso day "evening after an unuusally long and busy session. The city lkmii:s of Joseph, Wallowa and Enterprise were mode the bound aries of those road districts. The matter of the appointment of a road supervisor for Enterprise district waa laild over. The Wallowa Chieftain was agaiw named as the county official ipaper. The tax levy for 1910 waa fixed at 12.5 mills, apportioned as follows: State, 2.1 mills. County, 6.1 mills County school, 2.2 mills. County roads, 1.5 mills. County high schools, .6 mills. Big State Tax. Tttie Wg state and school tax are the principal, In fact only reasons the total levy thts year Is not way be?ow last year's. The state tax apportioned itlo Wa'.lowa county this year i $17,484.90, or almost twice as omuch as it ever was before. The highest state tax heretofore paid by Wallowa county waa $10,327.50, the amount that had to be sent to Sa lem last year, but this year $7,157.40 more will have to be raised for .state purposes. And at that the assessed valua tion levied by Assessor Miller waa reduced nearly $1,000,000 by the boaid of state tax commissioners for the purposes of the state apportion ment. Most of the counties were raised. Union county must ipay $35, 825.71 state tax this year. The t'otal levy in Union for 'this year la 2.2 mills. The only explanation for the in creased state 'tax la the Increased expenses of-the si'a'e, and the almost criminal fnactlba of the stats legis lature In not taxing corporations and other special state beneficiaries. Ohio with a bigger state expenditure per capita than Oregon, raises practi cally all Its revenue from state be.i eflcaries. Schopl Tax Heavy. The amount that must be raised for school purines is $20,336, of which $19,621 Is the per capita of $7 each on 2803 pupils, and the re mainder is the amount to be trans ferred from the general fund to make up the deficiency in small dis tricts, where the per capita and high est limit special levy together are insufficient to provide six months school- as required by the new law. Both of these big sums, the state tax and school tax, are compulsory on the coun'ty court, which has noth ing whatever to say about the amibunt. $3 Framed Picture 98 Cent.
