Now the school district of Salem is borrowing $30,1)00 in the same way. By this excellent method the people of that town and district obtain the benefit of a very low rate of interest anil at the same time pay the interest to home people. Salem people have set an excellent exam ple, and one that other borrowing communities should take to heart. The Bryan shouters scream about an entangling alliance with any for eign power, and then demand that our government shall make an alli ance with the Boers. The United States did more than any European power to help the Boers out of their troubles. It tried sincerely to make peace between them and England something none of their European sympathizers, not even Rolland, would attempt. The United States could do no more for the Boers un less it went to war with England. That the Boer envoys did not ven turc to demand. General Paul Van der Voort of Nebraska is an old soldier and former commander-iu-ehief of the Grand Army of the Republic. He has long been a leader of the populist party. He is of Dutch descent and sympa thizes strongly with the Boers. But he is first an American and he has no use for Bryan’s “pull down the flag and run away" policy in the Philippines. After fellowshiping with the populists for years he re turns to the republican party on the single issue of Expansion. He will not follow any party that wants to haul down the American flag. abreast of those from the dairy and the bakery. They are always staple. No table is too rich and few are too poor for chickens and eggs. Though subject to fluctuations in price dicta ted by market conditions, as other products are. first-class hen products need never go far to find an active demand, and usually at profitable prices. The poultry interests of the great Willamette are attracting at tention, as the weekly shipments to Portland commission houses would indicate. Though at present con ducted on a small scale, the poultry interests will advance with diversi fied farming. Large enterprises will take rare of themselves, but we should not despise the day of small things nor grudge the attention that brings success to homely affairs. Let | us then, take otf our hat to the hum ble hen, and try, with cheap wheat to intensify her product and perpet uate her race. where It relates to this year's crops, and the farmers of the Willamette valley are ready to admit that they have in years past devoted too much attention to raising a single crop, namely, wheat. Their hops, fruit and livestock have only been side issues, and thought to be of little consequence.- But farmers in this section, the most favored naturally, ■ if any land on earth, are coming to the realization of the fact that a greater diversity is their immediate salvation. Wheat will give place to meadows and pasture. Farms will be cut up into smaller fields that can be pastured to a better advantage. The dairy interests will be separate and distinct from the beef producing interests in the introduction of the peculiar grades of cattle best suited to each, and then the great Willam ette valley can grow livestock a great deal more cheaply than can eastern Oregon, whose outside ranges are be coming barren, and where stock must be fed during four or five months each year. Stock growing will be much more profitable than wheatraising, andean be carried on at less expense w-hen once fully in augurated. And when that time comes, the boast of the paper at The Dalles is vain. I U.l Til.LA < OISTl ASSEMYIST. II 1« < iii Down Tlii. Year SI,3OO,- OOO by I lie Aewesear. Pendleton Tribune. What has become of Umatilla county’s property values? They have gone down $1,500,000 in one year. What are the causes? They are not far to seek. Take d peep over the Cascades. Last year the Willamette valley and Portland assessors cut down the assess able values of their taxable property and refused to be raised. Other parts of the state complained, but to noavail. Again this year the same rates are being ap plied west of the Cascades, but what is happening on this side of the mountains can be ascertained by examining Assess or George Buzan’s books of this county. He has reduced assessments by about 25 per cent, which makes a total of about $1,500,000 less than the total valuation of last year. Mr. Buzan says he and other eastern Oregon assessors at the state meeting last winter endeavored to come to some agreement with western Oregon assessors, but could obtain no satisfac tion. lie -has himself acted indepen dently and supposes that other assessors have done likewise, in reducing the as sessments to keep pace with the western part of the state. He says the prevailing opinion is that this must be done. East ern Oregon does not desire to pay more than its share of state taxes, and this ap- jiears to be the only means of self-pro tection.
