LAUGHS "What re ou here for. and why, my Mtogluded friendi" queried one of thoso sympathetic prison uplift advocates recently. "Welt, you see, mum, I'm the vlc tlmo of the ttnlucky number thir teen." "My, how norel and superstitious! Tell me all about it that unlucky thirteen." "Yes, mum; twelve Jurors and one Judsc." A well known metropolitan choral conductor was once holding voice trials preliminary to the organization ot a colored choral club ot Jubilee singers. One of the soprano appli cants was extremely reticent when asked to sing a scale. Finally the director, becoming Impatient, asked: ''What's the matter don't you atnB?" "Well," sho hesitatingly re plied, "not puhsonally." A New York veterinary tells ot his system of handling the pet animals intrusted to his care by rich women. "When." he says, "I receive an overfed dog, I consign him to a dis used brick oven with a crust 6f bread, an onion, and an old shoe. When the dog begins to gnaw the bread, the anxious mistress is In formed that her darling Is 'doing nicely.' When the canine begins operations on the onion, word is sent that tho animal Is 'decidedly better.' When the dog tackles the shoe, my lady Is gratified to hear that her precious pet is 'ready to be remov ed.' " The Sunday was a wet one nnd she was allowed to accompany her.

Tht minister was of the energetic, pulpit thumping kind, and he preach ed from the rostrum railed in aboie tho people.

When on one occasion ho .found 1 necessary to decline an Invitation, he did so In the following terms; "Mr, Henry Wank declines with ploasuro Mrs, Wood's Invitation for ' tho ltlth, and thunlts her extremely t for having given him the opportunity of doing so," A Mr. O'Sulllvan returned from the political meeting, "There's eight nations rJprlsInted Id this ward of ours1 bo said to his w'jfe, as he began to count them off on his fingers.

FOR A SQUARE DEAL THE report issued by tho dopnrhuout of coinmorco and labor as a result of tluk investigations of the bureau ol' t'orporations shows that the timber holdings of the coun try are rapidly being concentrated in a few enormous hold tugs, tending toward a central control. It also shows a vast .speculative purchase and holding of timber laud in ad vance of its use, for the certain increase in value duo to diminishing timber area. These speculative syndicates own the bulk of tho tim ber land in Jackson county. The timber is held for t'uturo profits. That is why thcro are no lumber manufacturing enterprises in the county. There is no reason why lumber t annot be made at n profit liore, when it is produced profit ably in Josephine county, with less than a quarter of the local market; in Klamath county, with practically no local market; in Siskiyou county, California; in Douglas and other Oregon counties. The speculator in natural resources who produces noth ing and adds nothing to the wealth of the world, but who holds merely for unearned increment, is always tho loud' est complainant about taxation, though usually paying pro portionately much less than the developers of the coun try. The same is true of the timber holders of Jackson county. If Jackson county is to secure its just share from these speculative timber holdings, it must be by taxation before the timber is cut as much or the land is worthless for other purposes. It must force the speculator to pay in pro portion to what the farmer, orehardist and town resident are paying. Such is not the case in Jackson county, through no fault of the assessor, but because of the systeni that has governed since the Guesswork valuations ou fair either to the timherman an equitable basis ot taxation, a 'thorough and reliable cruise of the timber must bo made. Upon this as a basis, the timberinan will be forced to pay in accordance to his actual property. Thus only can there be equality before tne law. The effect upon a county forth in a letter written last month by P. l Leinenweber, county assessor at Astoria, as follews: Tho year after ho cruised Clatsop county we raised approximately 1300,000 MOKE taxes than tho year before, but the resident tax payers, such as farmers and dairymen, etc., paid less taxes than they did the prev ious year. , "Prior to having our timber cruised, It was absolutely an Impossibility to place equitable valuations on timbered lands and as a result tbls class of property bad escaped paying Its proper share or proportion of taxation for many years, thus causing a much heavier proportion to fall on other classes of property, and further in that regard, there trac a greater (lis cepancy in tho valuations placed upon tho timbered lands, which resulted fn equitable taxation upon various owners of timbered lands. Wo hava now, since the crulso has been mado, reliable and definite data which enables us to place proper valuations on each and eery legal sub division. There is no question but that the cost of a timber cruise in Jackson county, which, with its vast stretches of timber would be considerable, would be much more than" offset by the increased revenues resulting the first year, following the cruise, as timber is assessed lower in this county than in any part of Oregon, and that thereafter taxation would be less heavy upon other classes of property. The loss of $70,000 a year in Jackson county tax rev enue from the O. & C. railroad grant land renders it imper ative that the timber speculator be forced to pay his just share of taxes and a square deal to all the taxpayers is nee cssary.
