One man had :I7 ncros and had painted and repaired his fences and buildings iill the place looked very line, and he discovered that his next neighbor who had 200 acres of just the same land, but with neglected buildings and tumble down fences, paid the same amount of tax.

This is rightfully tho business of tho taxpaying farmer and ho will not be out of place on that occasion. -Everybody Should Know'' ways l). (I. IIiijh, u prominent lmni- ; news man 01 lllull.

FAVOR PARCELS POST. Proposed Reform is Very Moderate, but in the Right Direction. For the first lime in years the United States has a Postmaster General who seems to appreciate the opportunities of his office. Tue postofiice department might, under intelligent management such as prevails in other countries, become one of the principal means of en lightenment and comfort to the na tion, but almost the sole concern of those who have conducted it in re cent years has been ti avoid in fringement upon the privileges of private greed. Mr. Meyer wishes to establish a genuine parcels post. He would raise the mailing limit to eight or ten pouuds. At present it is four pounds. The proposod reform is very moderate, but it is in the right din-cton, and, if it overcomes the opposition of the parasitic express companies, it will relieve the Ameri can people from numerous vexa tions. Our ptimitive postal facili ties are a scandal i" a country which boasts ol its wealth and prog ressivenC'S. Kven in Grpat Britain where railroad influence is utroiig, the mailing limit is eleven pounds. In France it is 22 and in Gennauy 110 pouuds. The United States charges 10 cents a pound for post age on parcels. In Great Britain it is lj cents, lor a pound pat eel mid 2." cents for It pounds an v where within tho islands. The rate to Hongkong by way of Suez, which is much farther than New York to the Philippines, is 12 cents a pounds. Uverywhero on the con tinent of Europe small parcels ore sent by mail at cheap rates, where we must submit to the extortion of the express companies. Famdies are served with groceiies by mail. The laundry comes and gous through tho mail. The to-trists mail his small baggage. In France, Germany, Switzerland it is thought be'ler to Kerv the welfare of the people than to' he-qi lip big divi dends for tiust magnates. Of course tho expttss companies will continue to oppose the parcels post. Their graft is too lucrative to he given up without a struggle. Mr. Meyer says the parcels post will not compete with these over grown parasites, but compjiition cannot be avoid, d. His reform would save enormous sums to the peoplo but it would cut off the same amount from the revenues of Stua tor Piatt's trust. Hitherto the trust has b.en strong and wily enough to block every move to establish a parcels post; but there is reason to hope that it msy not control the next Congress. Mr. Meyer, speaking for the American people, will perhaps receive more attention than Mr. Piatt speaking for his monopoly. Oregonian. Substantial Aid for Strikers. The striking lelourapheis of San l'Vaudsco, have received substan tial evidence of the sympathy that the railroad telegraphers feel for their c ause when tho Commercial union was notified that it could ex pect about $250,000 a month from tho Order of Railroad Telegraphers. I,. Guide, grand secretary of the llailroad Telegraphers, ordered au assessment upon each member of $1 a week. There are marly CO.OOO railroad keymen in the United Slates who will respond to the ap peal, many of whom, it is expected, when able to do so will increase voluntarily the amount of the oflic ial assessment: If you sillier from bloating, belching sour Hloinai'li.

Campaign of Publicity to Get Home seekers to Come to Oregon Started by the Commercial Club of Port land Meets Hearty Co-operation. Widespread interest is being awakened over the state in the cam paign started by the Portland Commercial Club to secure distribu tion throughout the east of the leaf lets announcing the colonist rates and urging bomeseekers to visit Oregon during the month of Sep tember. The dub has printed 50, 000 copies, and rush orders are be. ing received from a score of com mercial organizations and many in dividuals over the slate, asking for bunches of the leaflets They will be inserted iu correspondence that is sent east. Pre-eminent in the consideration of a Pacific Coast trip by Eastern people at this time is the fact that the colonist rates during th month of September, will be the last rates of this kind granted by transconti nental railroads. Never again will they, it is said, voluntarily give the people opportunity to travel from the Missouri river to the Pacific coast for the sum of $20. The East ern bomeseeker who has any inten tion of visiting this coast because cf the cheap rates must come now. Later on he will have to pay the full fare. The colonibt rate allows passen gers all the privileges of a first class train excepting a berth in a standard Pullman sleeper. Instead ot this he is carried on a first-class tourist sleepiug car, which contains every needful convenience of travel. The all-important thing to re member in purchasing a colonist ticket is to have it designato the town iu Oregon "to which the trav eler wishes to locate. The price is the same for any destination in the state, but the ticket must bo pur chased to final destination. The Limit of Lite.

Washington, D.

Hundreds of thousands of acres were tied up by Mr. Hitchcock's order of suspension, and there is not a single word of evidence in the files of the department to justify his action in a great majority of cases. The present administration is as determined as Mr. Hitchcock to punish laud thieves, but does not piopose to punish the innocent aloqgjwitU thd guilty. WILL BOOS r
