Higher taxes will be the i order of the day in Clatsop county on the roll which will be due for payment within the next few weeks.

The only change made in the orig inal appraisement, as filed by O. L. Price, executor, was an Item of $150,- 000, which Mr. Price alleged was sub ject to exemption because It repre sented notes Indorsed by Mr. Pittock, but not actually in his possession. Salem.

Should these cars be sold by the deal ers, however, between March 1 and the date of making the tax levy in No vember or December, the assessment will shift from the seller to the pur chaser, and the former may escape paying the tax by making a proper showing to the county assessor. 153 A Steam Shoveller By R. RAY BAKER (Copyright, ll, by th Mi-Ciur Nwi- paper syndicate.? "There Is no accounting for (he tastes of tome women when It comes to men." Glenqulst observed, flicking the ashes from his dsnr. "Maybe It a their Intuition," he added, drawing his lungs full of smoke and exhaling through his nose. The lawyer appeared more than usu ally loquacious this evening, lie had a reputation for being rather taciturn when he wa not In court, but with me he always threw off the cloak of re serve and chatted freely. During our after-dinner chats, which always took place In his otllce on the seventh floor of the lbdtwood build ing, we had decided the fate of bol shevlsm, solved the problem of II. C t., settled the railroad ownership Is sue and thoroughly threshed out the osophy, spiritualism and new thought. Yes, we were congenial souls, were Glenqulst and I. As yet we had never discussed the most perplexing problem of tho ages love. Maybe It was because we were both confirmed bachelors and did not feel In a position to talk authori tatively on the question. However, the marriage of a mutual friend hud brought the mutter before u this eve ulng, and casually I had Inquired why Glenqulst bad never selected a lifelong companion. "Suppose you tell your story," he suggested when I broached the sub ject. "Then I'll burden you with mine." "I'll burden you with no story," I replied. "There's no story to It. I just naturally didn't take to the fair sex, or rather they didn't take to mo. I guess It was mutual. Have you a story?" For a moment be did not reply, and when he broke the silence It was to ut ter the words that opened this tale. "Furthermore," be went on, "it Is strange that brains do not appear to be considered much of an asset to a man when be asks a woman to become his wife. At least that Is the cae with some women, and very good, bright and capuble women, too, I mean. Perhaps, as I Ray, It Is their intuition, or their ability to see far ahead. "In my case, perhaps, I deluded my self Into thinking I had brain. Maybe I mistook my education for gray mat ter. Yes, there Is a difference. A man may be fairly well educated and still lack an adequate amount of brains. On the other hand, without being con ceited. It seems that I may claim to having at least a normal supply of thinking machinery. I am what you would call a successful criminal law yer. "I was terribly fond of Tussle Wel- don six years ago. This was my home town, and also hers. We were class mates In high school, and when we were graduated I went to the univer sity and she became a typist In n real estate office. During our last year In high school we had become very close ly associated In social work ami be fore we realized It were keeping steady company. "When I was at college we corre sponded regularly, nnd it seemed to me tlmt she cared almost as much for me as I for her. I pictured her pre siding in a nice little home when I got started on tjie road to success in my chosen profession, and although I did not broach the subject, I felt con vinced she would see It tlmt way. Perhaps I was somewhat egotist icul, but really I do not believe It was that. To be sure, I was proud of the show ing I was making In my studies and very hopeful of the future. "Whenever I cnir.e home she pro fessed to be bapyy over being with me, and I really believe she was. Our favorite pastime was walks In the woods with a camera, and I must con fess that, deep down in a trunk, I still have a number of those snaps. Just for fun, I think I'll dig down and take a squint at them tomorrow. "Things went on like this for some time, and I am sure that she did not keep company with any other partic ular fellow, although she occasionally went to dances and other entertain ments with some male acquaintance who happened along and needed a partner for some special social event. This was only to he expected, seeing that we were not engaged and it not being natural for a young girl to stay at home and spend her evenings read ing 'Robinson Crusoe and 'Red Riding Hood.' "It finally dawned on me that I bad better get busy. I was In the fourth year of my law course, but f'assie was growing more attractive each day, and as I was not home to look after my interests it behooved me to get an op tion on her hand. "I had spent that summer working In an attorney's office In Clarksburg, and so had not seen Cnssle any more during vacation than during the school term. .It was in the fall, and I wa ao-me for a few days, when I felt that (he opportune time had arrived. "We were walking down one of the hack streets on our way to the woods. A steam shovel was excavating for a skyscraper, and the noise seemed to give me nerve. 'Cassle, I blurted out, 'don't you think that er er it's about time we got got down to busi ness and well, become engaged?' "She was looking intently at the Bteam shovel. The thing appeared to . ,i uni- with Its chuiiKycTuir chugging nnd Its snorting n It Mlrnlnefl at Its base mid seemed several time on the point of overturning It '". thrusting the huge shovel against H dirt wnll and forcing It upward, grad ually tilling It. the tremendous vi brating power of the tr.nehlne winning against great resistance from the Imnk of dirt, as well as the law of gravita tion. "She- watched the big crane swing the shovel round nnd dump Its tents into a waiting wagon. Then the hoisting apparatus wan Mgh 't work on the bank of dirt nnd tho proc ess repeated. A lapse came with a break In the chain of wagons which carried the dirt away. Then Cnsle turned to me, "I knew this was coming some time,' she said, 'and I dreaded the mo ment. Jim, I think n lot of you. You're very clever, but there's one thing, a tremendous big thing, lucking In yu. It's physical power, or the ability to control physical power. You may have a great mind, but you are puny physically. I admire strength, 1 nil tvlre power. If you were only like like that steam shovel there, tearing nwnv at the earth, crushing all resist ance, 1 could be happy with you. Some dav there'll be a mammoth building there w here the machine I working. "I can't help It, Jim. and probably It seems foolish to you; but I must tell you, no matter now u nuns, una u you were the engineer on that steam shovel you would stand n much bet ter chance with me than you would n a lawyer. At least, yon would be earning money with your Htrengih, for the man that operates the shovel must be strong. "I confess that little speech floored me. Yo started to whik away. 001 n wagon arrived, nnd the steam shovel started operations again, nnd Cassle had to watch It sou e more. I strangled, gulped nnd llnally managed to say, weakly : "'Yes, and some day I'll have an office In that mammoth buliiling.' Tlmt was the Inst time I wax ever with her. With mingled disgust, bit terness and sadness I went hack to college nnd finished my course. I came home with my diploma and It was not long before I begun to win success success such as It Is. I'm mnklng good as a criminal lawyer. I'm winning victories right along In court. but when It comes to finances I admit I'm not overburdened. I have a few thouhand in the bank and I'm making more every day. but I'll never be rich. Perhaps I would save more If I Imd an Incentive llk that steam shovel engineer has." "You mean" I broke In, my eyes popping with astonishment. Ye, I mean that Cassle somehow got acquainted with the engineer of the steam shovel and married him. She took that man, grimy and Ig norant, who worker with bis hands. Instead of me, clean and educated, who worked with my brain." Glenqulst's clear had gone out, and he rose and went across the room to a shelf where he kept matches. His. cigar stand, at his elbow ns he sat and talked, was never known to hold a match, although there was a place for a box of then;. He took a few puffs and came buck to the chair. "Well, I made good on my boast that some day I would have an office In the skyscraper that was going up where the shovel was excavating," he observed. He leaned back and looked dreamily into a nicotine cloud. "It seems the engineer was rather clever In a way, at that," he contin ued. "At least lve knew how to save coin, and somehow be managed to In vest It advantageously." Ho rose nnd went to the window, looking down on the t rn flic which slowly was being obliterated by gath ering darkness. "Come here," he said, and when I had obeyed, be pointed at big yellow automobile just coming to a stop at the curl) In front of the building. "It's the owner of the building," he explained. "He usually collects my rent on this day of the month lie's coming at rnther a lute hour, but he's pretty sure he'll find me here." We returned to our chairs', and Glenqulst partook of n few puffs on bis cigar. "He'll he up hero In minute," he said, "and I wish you'd observe him closely. He's the u:rin I've been talk ing about Ca.ssie's husband." Rel Tobacco In Prussia. Real tohncco, good tobacco, was once grown In more than one Prussian province, an exchange says. In Brandenburg, particularly, so much to- bocco was cultivated tbnt Frederick II felt called upon In 1776 to regulate mutters. First the quantity was cut down, and later It was allowed to be grown only In districts In which agri culture did not flourish. In one year alone, 1781-2, 168,000 hundredweight vns grown, In 1780 Frederick ordered a IJerlln chemist, Aebard, to experi ment with the object of Improving tho quality of the tobacco. Attempts were mode at Llehtenberg, nenr Ilerlln, to nlroduce Virginia tobacco, and Ach- nrd was given a handsome pension for life for his "services In Improving to bacco cultivation." Jade From Burma. Practically all the Jade now mined comes from Burma, t bough New Zen land Is a producer of some note. China akes practically the entire oulpiif. In Hurmu the privilege of mining It 1ms been held by the same Indian or Slum tribe for many generations. The meth od employed Is the crudest. The Chinese prefer Jade which Is of a dark green color, free from all mottles, and Jade of thli grade It worth Its weight In gold.
