The vote was light in all districts except the Fourth, where a hard fight was made. RHODE ISLAND DEMOCRATIC Incompetent returns indicate that Mayor Higgins of Tawtuckct, dem it begins to look as if the motorcars for the West iMh is soon to bo bo a reality. a car was Duut at Uinaha about a year ago for thtJSouthern Pacific's West aide run and tested all the way from the Ne braska city and it proved satisfactory until it reached the mountain grades, when it was found a failure and sent back Eait. Now the Southern Pacific has a motor car that will do . the work and as soon as it arrives from the East will be put on the Hillsboro run. Con cerning this new car the Telegram says: General Manager J. P. O'Brien, head of the Harriman lines in the Northwest, is arranging for the assignment of two new motor cars to the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon. Until he returns from New York the time of the arrival of the equipment will not be known. Two cars have been experimented with on the West side and Yumhill divisions, but were found unsatisfactory. In the new cars, it is said, the defects which were found in those tried are remedied, and with greater horse-power and seat ing capactty the new coaches are ex pected to prove successful. The cars will probably be first operated on the Oswego route, but it is understood they are intended ultimately for service on Fourth street, when the Ilarriman in terests will route freight over a hiuh bridge at Oswego to a connection with tho main line at Milwaukie. A regular passenger service will be maintained as far as Forest Grave via of Hillsboro, and the motor cars are thought to bo the equipment best suited to the trsvel. A remarkable advantage gained in the en gine of the new model is that the car speed is almost entirely controlled by the throttle, the same as a locomotive: even on grades the speed can be varied from three to seventy miles an hour by means of throttle and ipark levers only. or it can be started on what is known as high speed. The engine is connected to the axle, although it is preferable to use tho gears in putting the car in motion, but ones ic motion the gear, are thrown out and the speed of the car entirely controlled by the engine. This makes wie operation ot the car simple, and tho economy in the consumption of gasoline ana reduced duty on the transmission is such that the practicability of these cars forevery-day heavy service is demon strated. The car is finished in Cuban mahogany. Ventilation is obtained w.n uod ui air imaaes ana trie ex haust ventilators. Tho car weighs Cl,- rtv.- ... uw pounds, but this weight can bo re' auce.1 to 55.000 pounds in subsequent cars. Miss Androy Templeiuan is at homo once more.

Exb. bounty j udge Goodin is getting legal advice Irora Deputy District Attorney Tongue as to what should be done in the matter of the Washington county tax roll lor me present year. The exemption of sjuu was allowed and the claim that this win invalidate the assessment is receiy. ing consideration. It is not thought that the legality 0f the roll can bo at tacked, lor, officials argue, it simDlv means that in each instance there is $300 worm 01 property which is not on tho roil. A sheriff's assessment ran ran this, but on top of this is the fact that there are many not on the tax roll be- cause the exemption covers tho sum to tal of many parties' property. The county assessor already had his assess ment made, so far as tho field work was concerned, before tho Supreme Court do emeu against the exemption. The asses sor therefore wrote the assessment with the exemption allowed and left it to tho iwaraoi realisation to cure, if body thought it proper to annul tho ex emptions. Tie board, however, let tho assessment stand. Even with the ex emptions allowed the tax roll is the larg est In point of valuation ever written in tho history of the county. E.

There wa, a queer circumstance hap pened here on the mountain side a week or ,o ago. We did not make an Item of it last week, a, we bad not learned the truth of the matter. It seems that some one tried to break in Frank Mil ler s house by the way of a chamber window. A ladder had been bronght from the orchard and set up against the house, just under the window.
