KLAMATH RAISED CAIN.
Thai Caid, tho son of Adam,
established tho first, city in America
near Klamath Falls, Oregon, and
that it was to this city, called Euoch,
that the peoplo of Asia fled In part
to escape tho. flood. Is the assertion
of Charles Hsllock. Ph. D.. an arch
acloglst." f i
Such Is the startling story In tho
dally press.
Well. Well!
We, have always, suspected that
Klamath Falls raised csln Just as
soon as it got able, but previous to
this authoritative announcement few
oven suspected that Klamath was tho
roal original metropolis and that
Cain arid Abel flourished there.
The eminent Hallock of Harvard
.dds that this territory was onco
Inown ns the Land of the Peach.
Whllo there are many peaches there
about today, so far aa the kind that
grow on trees Is concerned it seems
fair to suppose that the climato has
seen some changes since tho flood.
It Is furthor related by Prof. Hal
loclt that, "some great cataclysm
rendered useless the Irrigating can
nls," of which traces wero unearthed
by tho archaclogtst. Could that
cataclysm possibly have been a pre
historic governmental reclamation
service? As wo understand tho
matter the United States Reclama
tion Service of today has gone a long
way toward rendering useless, so far
ns this generation ts concerned, the
inouim irrigation project.
Doubtless all this prehistoric pub
licity will be music In the cars of the
Klamath populace. And rightly.
.For instance. It is reasonable to sup
pose lhat'Judgo Wordcn will name
tho next county highway "Cain
ItoulevanL" "Eden Way" or "Ararat
Drive." Hut there la ono fly in the
amber, one come-back for the ardent
booster: Isn't it something of a
slur on Klamath county that when
the Lord transplanted Adam thence
to the Oarden of Eden the latter
.proved so dollghUul In contrast?
it la a matter of congratulation
that tho people of Laldtaw nro to
havo a cheeso factory, nnd that a
cltltcn of that town hns taken tho
Inttlntlvu and will contribute this Im
portant nld to the development n(
tho adjacent country. A few hun
dred cows profitably handled make
n most excellent addition to tho sub
stantial wealth of a community.
A low price record Tor a stock

There is something quite inspiring
In a little book Just Issued In Seattlo
by Uia Emblem Club of Bend, called
"fleattto Contrasts" and dedicated. to
tho Seattle Ad Club. Its twenty
tour page contain not a word, of
uut, but each have two Illustrations
which tell s wordless story graphic
ally and with a conviction which
leaea no room for doubt or denial.
They aro "contrast" pictures; the
upper ones depict Seattle scenes to
day, tho Ipwer ones the same view a
number of years ago. To sly that
the contrasts are marvelous is, .'to
uuder-stato a truth. They ore that
and more they tell a picture-story
that Is an epic of development, a
special wonder-tale even in this
Northwestern land where all develop
ment is wonderful. It Is a remark
able little book and It holds a very
real lesson a lesson of municipal
optimism for every young man who
lives in a young Northwestern town.

JUDGE DISCl'SSKtt TAXVTION.
Crook County Judge O. Springer
sonds Tho llullctln tho following com
munication regarding taxation as
sessments:
Our county Judgo Is ot tho opinion
that by far tho most important, and
also the most difficult task for the
county Judges of Oregon, Is their
work on tho Hoard of Equalisation.
The statute of Oregon expressly
states that property shall be assessed
at Its cash value, which la obviously
tho only honest, correct and Just way.
Nevertheless, to this dato tho statute
has not been followed, and wo And
tho property ot the State assessed
all tho way from 10 per cent to 110
per cent.
The purpose of the resolution of.
fered by Mr. Springer and adopted
at tho recent commissioners' conven
tion, was to stimulate the Stato Hoard
of Tax Commissioners In their ef
forts to enforce a legal assessment.
Wo have 34 counties In Oregon, and
no three counties assess upon tho
same basis. We find two that are
placed by tho State Hoard at 51;
two at 56; two at 6C; two at 67;
two at 68 and two at 71. Thus we
And there are seven instances where
two counties are apparently assess
ing upon the same basis, but none nt
the legal standard of 100 per cent.
So the Stato Hoard Is compelled to
adjust their assessment to meet 27
different standards used by tho 34
county assessors.
Is It wise to contlnuo tho inequal
ity, the Injustice nnd contusion of
our present practice of law evasion,
or shoutd we nil stand together for
lawful assessment?
