SPECIAL ROAD TAX
Tho Weyerbouser limber Interest
have, served nottco on tho couutr
courl that they will refuse to pay
tho special road tax voted by resi
dents of tho several road districts In
which they own timber, claiming that
the tax as levied is unlawful. They
cito a rata In Lane county In uhlch
the apeelal levy was knocked out In
tho supreme court.
A bill Introduced In tho recent log
Intaturo and passed Is said to validate
tho levying of such a tax. The coun
ty wilt tight the case.
Tho timber company claims that
tho special road tax shall bo fixed
at a meeting called by tho road su
pervisor and not by the taxpayers,
aa was done Two statutes cover
tbo caao, and as tho objection of the
timber company Is basod on techni
calities, tho case will probably bo
fought through tho courts. Tho
company took the same course In
Klamath county.

city council, one to license and regu
late pawnbrokers and the other to
govern plumbing work. Tho first
ordinance was introduced at tho in
stance of the chief of police and tho
second by the plumbing Inspector.
The ordinance governing the pan
broking business provides for a
license of 25 a quarter and the fil
ing of a report with tho police of all
goods purchased by thorn. It also
extonds to second hand dealers but
does not place a license on them. It
Is aimed directly at disreputable
dealers who buy goods they know, or
should know, have been stolen.
The plumbing ordinance Is a most
comprehensive document and was
prepared by Harry Plerco, plumbing
Inspector. Its provisions will tend
to Increase the healthfulness of tho
city.
The ordinances nro to bo consid
ered before their passage by a com
mittee of thu wboln.

Lieut. Cole at the altar. The enraged
man Joins the Indians, becomes a
chief, and drills them. In a terrific
battlo with tho soldiers ho Is victor
ious, and marches to the post. Th
danger of death to the woman ho
loves sweeps aside his hatred and de
slro for vengeance and he attempts
to savo her, meeting death at the
hands of his own followers. The post
Is saved from annihilation by the
timely arrival of troops from a dis
tant fort, who defeat tho Indians Ina
big battle. At tho Star today and
