There were two lieutenants named Williams in the Philippine constabulary, and, until more definite information con cerning the recent engagement is re ceived, news from the islands will be anxiously awaited by the family and friends of Floyd Williams. to to to to jr WWW fy KEYT flAIN STREET, DALLAS, OREGON I: i 'Si; i"LEST WE 1 FOR GET" BUSINESS LOCALS.

That the decision is in strict accordance with the letter of the con stitution there can be no question. The faot remains, however, that in all the 60 or more years that the law was In force, no serious objections were ever urged against it by the taxpayers of Oregon, and it remained for a non resident property owner, a citizen of New Hampshire, to institute a suit attacking its validity. Only once did the Legislature set it aside, and it will be remembered that this repeal of the law was followed by its re-enactment ten mouths later. The exemption clause was generally looked upon as a "poor roan's law," aud was satis factory to the people of the state for the reason that it worked no serious injustice to any other class of tax payers.
