The Lakeview Examiner says: It is reported that information was recently telephoned from Bend to La I'ine that two men of the former place had made a wager as to when construction work on the Oregon Trunk south of Bend was to begin.

"Uncle Sam" is somewhat an tiquated in the matter of hand ling the mails as well as other departments. A private individ ual is dealt with rather severely by this same "Uncle" if a law or ruling is transgressed, yet if the government has fallen down it's different. There should bo some means to bring this fact to the attention of the department and make such amends us are nec cessary. Our "Uncle" shouldn't be allowed to "monkey," with us any more man ho allows an individual to go unpunished. Carl Welker writes this office that he has not found things in Honolulu as it had been repre sented to him and his position with the government is not at all satisfactory, therefore he ex pects to be home some time in March, "never more to roam from his own fireside." Instead of placing him on duty in Hono lulu as he expected, he was transferred 28 miles out into the mountains to watch over some government work that may be shut down at at any time. The accomodations are not good and is no place for his family. The provisions he describes as not being fit for a Harney county hog. When you strike at Carl's Blomuch he is hit in a very vital spot, as he is a good feeder and therefore we are not surprised at his decision to come home. Iast week M. R.

Taxation Law Question Whether the initiative measure passed by the people exempting household goods from taxation is constitional is doubtful, but un til the court hold it is invalid it should be enforced. Under this exemption assessments made 0B household goods for 1012 cannot be collected. This is the substance of an opinion of our Attorney General Crawford, given in reply to the questions submitted by the state tax commission.
