SOME NEW POSTAGE
The new Issue of postage stamps
will not go on sale until January 1,
1910. About $1,000,000 worth of the
stamps of the first of the new design
are being held in Chicago to be sold
there on that date. In the mean
time a change will bo made in the
design of the new 2-cent stamp. This
change has been made necessary
through the discovery that the in
ternational postal regulations re
quire that Arabic numerals to denote
the denomination of the stamp shall
be used, while the new stamps have
only the words "Two Cents" on
them. These stamps will be disposed
of and no more of them made. As
a result there Is a big demand from
stamp collectors for them, and it is
possible that a greater part of these
"two cent" stamps will not go Into
use, but will be held by stamp collectors.

"Kicking," replied the senator in

hard, but it comes easy with practice."

Fifty-Three Sundays.
An exchange has figured It out
that there are fifty-three Sundays in
this year, an occurrence that will not
happen again for 110 years. This
extra Sunday can be uiiiized in vai'l
ous ways and one hundred and ten
years later you will probably be pay
ing the penalty or enjoying the pleas
ure of the method In which you
choose to spend this extra Sunday.
had a soul for the open. He caught
the artistic excellence in the dignity
of vigor that Is closely allied with
nature. He knew the poetry that is
In roughness in the frontier bar
racks, the cowpunchers' camp, and
on the Indian trail and he present-!
ed it to us in a manner that has given j
him a place among the immortals. !
As the time passes the work of
Frederick Remington will appreciate!
in value, and the worth of his genl- j
us will become the more apparent to j
Americans. It will only be a mat-:
ter of years when , the frontier ;
soldier, the lusty cowboy and his'
bucking broncho, and the Indian as
he was known In savage barbarity,
will be mere memories. It must be
said upon that consideration, that
the art which perpetuates these Is
something more than art at any
rate, It is art with a peculiar histori
cal value.
Remington'B work preserves that
value because, in his art, he was a
truth teller. While he had the quick
fancy which a man of his tempera
ment must possess, it was a fancy
that brought out the beauty of fact;
it gave us the picturesque, but al
ways the truthfully picturesque. In
the matter of execution, it is art of
;i high order; and to this is added,
what we might term, a moral and
historical tone, which gives Freder
ick Remington a standing among art
ists that is peculiarly his own.

Slow Growth of Denatured Alcohol.
When the internal revenue tax of
$1.10 per gallon on denatured nl
cohol was removed, It was predicted
and exnected that farmers would
profit greatly thereby, yet the bene
fit to them has been Inconsequential.
Although the manufacture of de
nntnred alcohol shows a gain of
more than 30 per cent over the pre
ceding year, the whiskey trust has
made practically all of It.
Three things "have worked together
to prevent the manufacture of de
natured alcohol on farms from low-,
grade potatoes, corn fodder nnd oth
er refuse. Farmers are not. distillers,
and hnvo bViwii no Inclination to
learn the business. Furthermore,
tnere have been no small stills for
farm use on the market. And, lastly,
the high tax on Individual stills and
regulations of the Internal revenue
department hnvo been sin h ns to dis
courage any attempts In this direc
tion.
in Hplte of lite disappointment in
the growth of thin new Industry,
there are ninny si fins of encourage
ment, through the dctmrtmcnt of
agriculture and the experiment sta
tion, U endeavoring to establish
demonstration stills. One or two
manufacturers are taking up the
manufacture of small stills suitable
for this purpose, and there have
been some modifications of the In
ternal revenue regulations,
Denatured alcohol has already
taken the place of wood alcohol to u
greater or less extent In certain In
dustries, and has been used to a
slight extent ns fuel and light. Hut
Is still too high in price to be
used for the latter purposes. We
look for a steady Increase In its use,
hut It will be several years at least
before all the claims which were
made for It are fulfilled.
Holding that the fate of 10 cents
between Milwaukie and Portland is
unjustly discriminatory and that
therefore the railroad commission
has a right of jurisdiction thereover,
the supreme court last week In an
opinion written by Chief Justice
Moore, directs that the Portland
Railway, Light and Power Company
must reduce its fares between these
two points to 5 cents and issue trans
fer tickets to all parts of the city of
Portland where its lines are in opera
tion, as the railroad commission has
ordered.
The opinion Is sweeping in its pro
visions, and Is one of the most Impor
tant and far reaching ever handed
down by the Oregon supreme court.
In a similar opinion the fares from
Oak Grove to Portland are reduced
from 15 cents to 10 cents, and the
railroad commission of Oregon de
clared to have full power to enforce
its decrees in similar matters. They
were two separate cases appealed
from a decree of Circuit Judge Wil
liam Galloway, of Marlon county,
whose order Is affirmed.
The next time one of the children
catch cold, give It something that
will promptly and freely but gently
move the bowels. In that way. the
cold will at once be driven out ot
the system. Kennedy's Laxative
Couch Syrup moves the bowels
promptly and freely, yet gently, and
at the same time heals Irritation and
stops the cough. It Is especially good
for children. Sold by all druggists
. Choked to Death
Is commonly said of babies who have
died of the croup. How unnecessary
this is. No child ever had the croup
without having a cold or cough at
the start. If you will stop the first
symptom of the cough with nallard's
liorehound Syrup there Is no danger
whatever of croup. Sold by National
Drug Store.

Municipal Taxation.
Under the above head the Mall
Tribune of Modford has he following
edttoil'i, which should eomnunid at

winds, and yet If It has enough be
hind It upon which to biiild a great
city all will be well.
"Raker City's city council has levi
ed a city tax tif 20 mills, the limit
permitted under Oregon laws. He
side this Metl ford's levy of 1? 1-10
mills looks small, but the high rate
of taxation augurs a year of great
public Improvement abend for the
metropolis of eastern Oregon, as well
us for .Med ford.
"Time was, and not long ago,
when Jacksonville prided Itself on its
having no city tax at all, and Central
Point boasted of Its small tax. And
not long ago Ashland crowed over
Its tax rate being lower than Med-
ford's and Grants Pass is still en
deavoring to contrast itself favor
ably with Medford because Its tax
is only eight mills. The unprogres
slve towns of the Willamette valley
still brag of their low taxes.
"Hut the people of Oregon are
learning, as those of all other states
have learned, that 'municipal Im
provements cost money, and that the
town that makes them, goes ahead
and that property valuations In
crease on account of them and more
than justify the increased rate of
taxation caused by them. A high rate
of taxation In a small town nearly al
ways Indicates a progressive place.
"With Its 'advantage' of hick of
municipal taxation Jacksonville has
peacefully declined from the metro
polis of Southern Oregon to Its pres
ent status. Central Point has begun
to tax itself and began to grow. Ash
land's tax rate Is increasing by leaps
and bounds as the city progresses,
and promises some day In the not
distant future to have as high a tax
rate as Medford, for long held tip ns
a "horrible example." If Grants
Pasa would hold its own with the two
sister cities, It must Join the pro
cession nnd spend the money.
"High taxes have long been the
bugaboo of the niossback, nnd the
dread of them has done much to re
tard the progress of the state. Hut
the community that Is afraid to
spend money, go In debt nnd take
chnnces on the future, like the busl
ness man who follows the same pol
icy, Is soon left hopelessly In the
rear of the procession nnd distanced
by more enterprising rivals."
