An Albany man visiting in Portland,
after watching a linotype at work in
the Oregonlan composing room, writes
his home paper, "The puzzle to me Is,
how did a man think It out?" That is
the question every man asks himself
when he sees one of these marvelous
machines in operation. Many people
call at the Observer office every week
to see the linotype at work, and the
Invariable comment Is, "How did any
man ever think it out?" The Slergen-
thaler linotype stands supreme among
the products of human Ingenuity.
So far as we have been able to as
certain, from a careful reading of
state exchanges. Polk County holds
the record for the lowest tax levy for
the year 1910. For this gratifying con
dition of affairs, the credit belongs to
Assessor C. S. Graves for a careful and
business-like assessment, and to the
County Court for a capable and econ
omloal administration of the county's
finances. The work is good, and de
serves commendation.

WHEN A GOOD MAN DIES
Under the heading "When a Good
Man Dies," the Albany Herald pays
an eloquent and touching tribute to
the memory of Professor A. M. San
ders: The editor says:
"When a good man dies, the world
loses something. It will go on, It Is
true, much as It did before, for there
are many good men, but some of us
will notice that the darkness Is a little
thicker in one corner, for a light has
gone out.
t "When a good citizen dies, the com
munity feels the loss. It will miss his
sane and wholesome counsel and ex
ample. It will miss his Influence for
civio righteousness and listen in vain
for his voice ln defense of nubile
good.
"When a good father dies, the home
loses Ha rightful head. There are
others, near and dear, but a father's
mace can never be filled. The home
will not be broken, for It has been
welded together by ties of love and
sympathy under his direction, but It
will have a vacant chair.
"When a good teacher dies, the pu
pils whom he taught lose a kind and
patient friend. They will have many
icacners in later years, for both time
ana circumstances will Instruct them,
but nothing will wield so personal and
beneficent an Influence over their
lives as did the teacher of their youth.
"Albany has lost a good citizen, a
gooa rather, a good teacher. But the
... weei aroma or his life will lln
the Aaron for he smote the rocks and
the "rocks" rolled forth.
