IX a decision rciiflpi't'd rvcni ly, Circuit .luclgo J. AV.
.Hamilton, in tlio v,w of Dotila.s Counly vs. (he South
ern Oregon ('ouiany, invohin faxes due the count' from
that company, held that the tax is "a lien against the land
a definite charge not against the individual owner, but
t.gainst the land itself."
The Southern Oregon company owns the Coos Jiay
wagon road grant, made by tile United States in .1869.
Praetically the same conditions govern as in the Oregon &
California' land grant, owned by the Southern Pacific.
AVhen the litigation was begun to cancel the land grants for
failure to comply with original conditions, the Southern
Oregon company stopped paying taxes upon the grant, as
the Southern Pacific did later. The suit was brought to
determine tlio validity of the tax liens issued against the
property.
The company maintained that the federal court decis
ion entitled it to an interest of $2.G0 an acre in the land,
and that as much of the land was assessed at a greater
sum, the assessment was void. The court held that the
assessor was bound to assess the property at its real value
against the holders of the legal title, and that if the land
had been assessed at too high a valuation, the remedy lay
in an appeal to the board of equalization. Over-valuation
is a mere irregularity which does not render the assess
ment void.

ill" nil iniuu in iiiiviwmim v nij ijk idi i mi iu luiiri
courts, but there is little doubt, in view of previous decis
ions, but that it will be confirmed, and that both the
Southern Oregon company and the Southern Pacific com
pany will have to pay the delinquent taxes or lose all
equity in the land.
Some $170,000 is due Jackson county from the -1-10,000
acres in the Oregon & California land grant, and this and
bubscqiiont delinquencies Will eventually have to be paid to
secure title to the land, for the land itself is liable, iut the
pei-son happening to own it.

CUT OUT THE FRILLS
UPOX the ballot to be voted tomorrow is the following
amendment, fathered by Councilman Aledynski:
Chnrter Amendment, nddlnjc Section "i'J-b to snld t'hnitor, enahlliiK nnd
nuthorlicluK the Cll Council to itwtie bonds sml borrow mono) on the
faith nnd credit of the City to build mi addition to the '!! Hull, the tost I
or tlio name not to exceed uie mini oi js.iuu.
While the city perhaps needs more room, it has got
along vi'vy well the past year without it and effected a sav
ing in operating expenses of over $7000.
There seems to be no reason why the city's indebted
ness should be increased at the present time. 'The city can
get along without the enlarged city hall. When it becomes
a necessity it should be built by direct levy, a 2-niill tax
iurnishing the funds, and not increase the already burden
some bonded indebtedness. '
Citizens have to cut out the frills in these times and tho
citV emnloves can follow suit.

When a man's efficiencv is on the decline when after a long -day of
effort the mass of work still stares him in the face it's time to finely out
what's wrong. . , . " i
Frequently a lack Of certain necessary nutritive elements in the daily
diit lessen mental and physical activity. A prime factor in efficiency is right
feeding. ' lQfffcimW:! '
No food supplies, in such splendid proportion, all the rich nourishment
of the I'ieid grains, foV keeping the mental jiul physical forces upbuilt and in
trim, as
Crape-Nuts
Made of whole wheat and malted barley, this famous pure food supplies
the vital mineral salts, often lacking in tlie ordinary dailAdiet, but impera
tive in building sturdy mental, physical and nenous energy.
Then, too, there V a wonderful return of power for tlio small effort re
quired in the digestion of (Irapc-Xuts. which, with cream or good milk, sup
plies complete nourishment.
