The generous and progressive action of the telephone company is deeply appreciated by every patron in Dallas, Independence and Monmouth and on the connecting farmer lines. The bill to be Introduced in the Ore gon Legislature early in the session providing for the publication of the county assessment rolls is a mcritori 0U8 measure, and deserves the vote of every member of tho law-making body. The bill has the unanimous endorsement of the Oregon Press Association, and will bo the first law ever asked by the newspaper men of tho state. The publication of the county assessment rolls has proved highly satisfactory to the taxpayer in the states where the plan has been given a trial, and will prove of like value in Oregon, if adopted. The Albany Herald puts tiie whole matter in a nutshell when it says: "The newspaper meu who are advocating the use of more advertising space in the matter of the assessment rolls, are suggesting a business proposition to tho legislature. Where the rolls are published, tho county saves more by many hundred per cent than the cost Property evading taxution is brought bofore tho assessor. Improper values And adjustment. The Idea is good business and according to modern methods and action should be taken by the legislature towards the ends mentioned." W. vv. Banks, surveyor for the Board of Fire Underwriters, who has been re-rating tho business and resi dence property in Dallas, completed his work yesterday afternoon. The reduction in rates on the various classes of property will range from 10 to 30 per cent. Mr. Banks says that tho city will save about $000 in premiums each year, with the present system of waterworks. The new rate book will bo out in about two weeks. Tho present reduction will affect all policies written after July 27, lW)t, the date when tho waterworks were ac cepted by the city. The Times says that since the saloons were closed in Corvallis, the local druggists have had a great run on tho sale of "bitters." Every drug gist in town sold bitters without reserve until Monday of this week, whon they wero summoned before the District Attorney and warned against continuing the sale of intoxicants of any kind. "You may go now; but don't sell any more bitters, or I'll put you through," cautioned tho prose cutlug ofileer, and tho crestfallen pill mixers mod out of tho office, cussing tneir lucK as they went. The Polk County Mohair Association will hold Its annual goat show at Dallas Thursday and Friday, Janu ary 19 and '20. Here's wishing the association tho greatest success.

No cars of this kind are in use in the United States at the present time, but are said to be sue cessfully operated in portions of Europe. If the experiment meets the expectation of its promoters, it will revolutionize the railway passenger traffic in Oregon. President Roosevelt has appointed T. Cader Powell, a former clerk of Multnomah county, to oe United States Marshal at Nome, Alaska. The appointment was made upon the recommendation of Senator Fulton in the face of strong rivalry and opposi tion. The salary is $4000 a year. The Polk County Mohair Association will becrin to register goats for the pool on January 15, and it is expected that the number listed will greatly exceed that of last year. LAWMAKERS AT WORK Both Houses of Oregon Legislature Are Organized and Ready For Business. OFFICERS OF SENATE President, Senator W. Kuykendall, of Lane. Chief Clerk, S. L. Moorhead, Junc tion City.

Hills, Jackson. Both houses of the Oregon Legisla ture are now organized, and have settled down to the routine business of tho session. The contest for the Speakership of the House between A. Mills, of Multnomah, and T. B. Kay, of Marion, was settled in caucus, the Portland man winning out by the narrow margin of two votes. The fight, whileearnest, was good-natured, aud no ill-feeling was shown by the supporters of either candidate at any time during the contest. The Senate was less prompt in choosing its presiding officer, and the contest between the Kuykendall and Carter forces threatened for a time to end in a permanent deadlock. Know ing the sentiment of the people of Ore gon concerning deadlocks in the Legislature, the opposing forces soon wearied of the struggle and in the afternoon of the second day a compro mlso was effected, and Kuykendall was elected. During the roll-call when Senator Carter's name was called, that gentle man arose and addressing the senate said . "I-or some sixty odd ballots I have been loyally supported by my friends for the presidency. For two days the organization has been deadlocked. and after a full and careful consider ation, I have decided that I will no further obstruct legislation. There fore, Mr. President, I will now with draw my name, and cast my vote for Sonator Kuykendall." following Carter's lead, his nine supporters fell into line, and everv lepuoiican voted Tor Senator Kuy kendall except that gentleman him solf who voted for Carter. According to tho terms of the com promise, as reported, Senator Squire rarrar, of Marion, who precipitated tne capitulation, is to receive the chairmanship of the waj a and means committee: Carter is to have h mat. tlon on Farrar's staff, his only inter est being in the Ashland Normal .-H-uooi, oi wnicn lie is a member of the board of t regents; Laycock is to nave the chairmanship of the irriga tion committee, aud McDonald a posi tion on the roads and highways com mittee. The two houses met in joint session yesterday morning and listened to the reading of the Governor's message. and then adjourned u ntil next Monday, at which time the House and Senate committees will be anuounced. To Representative Steiner. of Lake fell the distinction of introducing the it... i.m - isv oui in me tiouso. The bill ou Id cede to tho United States all uch lands in tho beds of Rkm.rh and other lakes as now are submerged auu as w in oe drained of water.
