Mrs. Kaley, the accomplished vo calist and musical Instructor from Portland, Is givlug lessons In vocal music In Illllsboro. The first meet ing of the students with their in structor occurred last Monday. The ladies now singing are Misses Eva Bailey, Elisabeth Milne, Helen Gates, Minnie Warren, Maude Hoover, Lurn and Wilma Waggoner and Alice Merryman. The Congregational church, st For est Orove, will hold special services every evening next week. The first service will, however, be held Bun day morning. A special feature Is to be the music, which will be fur nished by a choir of fifty trained voices. To assM, Mrs. Baley, the college vocalist, has been secured, and it Is expected that further aid In presenting numbers wi;i be rendered by Itev. Mr. Polling, of The Dalles. The gipsies are nt a welcome ad dition to the commuuity, and all feel relieved when they move on. An Iticldent that happened in tbe neighborhood a few days ago will go tar to account for that Jeelicg. We have a camp ccur town, aud while these Arabs have not oveiran the county, yet, they are around. Re cently ono of them crossed the fence and w!iit here Mr. Loren Jackson was plowing. The visitor propound to awap horses; would give two for one in ine piow team, uoivu thought he might make something by igetting two horses for one. He could feed up and have profit. Bo be went to the fcuce to see what was in sight. The gipsy said that he had left a horse behind. The crowbait that was there hitched was out of the question, so Loren started back to his plow. The trader then proposed to sell the horse that he bad left down the road for $2. He was on the move, the horse was a Utile lame and he did not want to cruelly force it hlong. " Would be not take the poor beast at the sacrifice price of $2?" Mr. Jackson declared he would not buy property without seeing it. They went down the road and found the horse dead In the middle of the way. Thus the tribe seek to swindle. One of the gipsey crowd got on a toot last Tuesday afternoon and con. tinued into the shades tot evening. Marshal Atkinson took him in charge and proposed to put him In the cooler, but the fellow demanded to be taken before the recorder Im mediately. The marshal, nothing loath, weut to the recorder's office, in the Corwln 4 Wooster building. but that official was not there. The gip. then remembered that he had wronged some one at Blaser's, and must go and apollgize. Tho party started from the recorder's office by the back way. The stairs never were the most safe aud have not Im proved with age, so when the half- intoxicated man began to lean on the railing it gave away and let him fall ten or more feet into a rubbish pile, made up of old cans and broken glassware. For a lime the fellow laid so quiet that the officer thought him dead, but lifting him out, he lived again. He made his apology, paid $2.60 aud was allowed to go to camp. A company of capitalists at Bloux Falls, manufacturing sweets from sugar beet syrup declare that they will build and operate a sugar beet syrup factory at or near rortiaoa. The syrup will then be shipped to the refinery. Now then. Does Portland want that factory? In or der to get It there must be a way opened to the fields where beets can be grown. Portland might, by al lowing an electric lino through its streets, get into the Tualatin Plains, where beets showing 18 per cer t and over In sugar and 95 to as purity. grow. There are men in this county ready to put money Into the road, but Portland's city council stands idly around with hands behind their backs refusing to grant a franchise. Portland can not have a beet sugar factory till a transportation line can tap the fields. My aim Is to please the trade. I have succeeded in doing so In tbo past and shall do so in the future.

Last year m.i;- OrcouUu there was Uufcati-fu ton touching the homeseekers rairi Mt in operation by tho I'asstfi.i.'r Asy:c!iition from liosissippi poiuU eaarj to the Pacific States. Tu us there appeared to be a studied discrimination against Oregon in favor of Washington. There was some correspondence be tween citizens ot Oregon, aud ane may have taken up the matter with hj ft. P. Co. aud the O. U. A N.. but I it was considered too lale to make great complaint. This year the same scheme is sought to be worked by the Transcontinental Passenger As sociation. That organisation quotes rates to homeseekerj for March and April to Washington points, but will not extend them to Oregon. The S. P. Co., seeing that its territory would thus be neglected, joins with the Short Line and O. R. N. to quoto In dependent rates. Mr. sliller, gen eral passenger agent of the S. P. Co, has issued a circular by which it Is seen that all places in the Willa mette Valley have oominon point rates. The circular reads: "During the mouths of March and April next certain reduced rates for settlers will be made from the East, as follows: From Omaha and Kan sas City, 125; Sioux City, $27.00, St Louis, $30; Chicago, $33. Those rates are second class, and will ap ply In connection with , the Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and O. H. A N. Co. via Portland to all points on the Oregon lines of this company, Ashland and north, and are made for the purpose of Inducing Immigration.

The cit izens of Cedar Mill are well pleased at what was done, and they are cor respondingly encouraged to do more. The frosty nights cf the past week have been the delight of orchardists. The temperature has not been low enough to form Ice, but it was cool enough to keep vegetation back.

The Catholic church, in Hlllsboro, was dedicated last Sunday, accord Ing to the program announced last week. The al tendance is estimated at 800 souls. The rear of the auditorynext the street entrance was densely packed, but many could have been seated toward the front. The decorations of the altar were magnificent. Archbishop Christie snd Father Black were accompanied by several priests from Portland. The sermon by the Arch bishop was all that a diviue occupying his high station In the church is ex pected to deliver. His Grace Is a most effective orator, perfect in logic and acclamation, ms nne personal appearance and strong, positive gesticuia tion emphasizes the truth he utters.

The musical numbers rendered by the choir from Verboort church dur ing high mass were very fine, and the audience will welcome those ladles and gentlemen whenever they can be spared from home to sing here. A collection was gathered and the money, amounting to $50 or more, win ne used in completing the church. Father Black has other plans for the betteament of his parish , but they are naraiy reaay lor announcement yet. range m en ts entertainment, hall, transportation and the like. No one can do it better, and the organization for that work is already perfect. The Commercial Club of Hlllsboro can do It, and do it well. There were two tickets in the city campaign at Forest Grove, last Mon day, and electioneering was active. It was tho same contention that di vided last year and before, Frank Kane, for mayor, and his whole tick et was re-elected by Increased ma jorities. Before the majority was slight, only lour or five, while this year ' they ranged from fifty to ninety. The management of muni cipal a llt Irs has been good during the past year, and money has .been saved for the sinking fund. This satisfies the people and they chooee to continue the administration rath er than try experiments by a change. The only new men on tho ticket were J. C. Clark, lor recorder, and Pst. Cronen, for marshal. The last met ting of the old council was held on Tuesday evening last, at which time hold-over Councilmen F. M. Bobbin and B. W. 8. I lamer re signed. These gentleman were elected last year by the opposition. They hoped to elect enough of their party to put them in the majority. Failing in this, they resigned In deference to the great majority as ex pressed at the polls last Monday. The new council will take office next Thursday, Jan. 23, when the va cancies in the council will be filled. now here may be advit-ed, and in turn communicate with their friends or others in Eastern states, with view of having them take advantage of the low rates. I would also like to have you furnish me with list of the commercial clubs, boards of trade or other similar bodies there may be at your station who are Interesting themselves In immigration, and we will arrange to furnish them from time to time with the names of East ern people of whom we may be ad ad vised and who contemplate com ing to this country, that they may, if desired, get In correspondence with them, and supply any literature de scriptive of the country's resources." This stand of tho Or gon roads will be endorsed everywhere in the state, and will make friends with the people. Rogue River Valley, Jackson County is a good apple growing sec tion.

Total 27.0 ThA amount of revenue to be raised for state purposes for tho year J 1902 is $805,000, which, added to1 $23,000 to be raised for the State Ag ricultural College, makes $920,000, of which sura Washington county pays $27,751.69. This amount of men cy is required to pay the p, propriatlons made by the legislature In Feb., 1901, after tho tax for 1901 nad been levied. The total appro priations made that have to be met by revenues collected In 1902 is $1,040,653.26, but an income from miscellaneous sources amounting to $145,653,26, cuts down the amount to be raised by taxation to the sum above mentioned, $896,000. Last year the state tax paid by this county wae $16,364.83, hence we are jobbed this year for $11,337.55. How is this? Well, under tho tax law In 1901, each county will contribute to the expense of the state lu the proportion which their average as sessments for the last five years bear to the average of the total assess ments of all the counties for the same period. If Multnemah made an under valuation for the 6 years prior to 1902, which Is charged and he lieved, her average cropped, while ours were correspondingly raised Some other counties helped Mult- noman In this matter. Hence Mult, nomau got the benefit of her vain ations two times. So, while we pay 8 mills, Multnomah county pays but 6. Slick people those. We country bumpkins did not see It. Now our representatives must be sharp enough at the next session of the legislature and not let those low assessments be used a third time. COfJBT HOUSE. PROBATE. Estate Ellen Porter, deceased.
