A man buys a ing Another. piece of unimproved land, and after seve While the citizens were enjoying the national holiday in this city on Thurs day thvv were shocked at noon to hear that a serious accident had happened to the incoming stage on the mountain that morning, about six miles above the toll gate at Trask with serious results. Vari ous reports gained currency, but it was late in the day before the actual facts were known. It then leaked out that in coming down the mountain the stage driver, Ernest Baker, had lieen thrown out, and a few hundred yards further down the road the stage went over the grade with terrific force, throwing the two passengers out and over the grade, rendering one unconscious, while the other had his arm broken. The driver, who was somewhat cut about and cov ered with mud and blood, secured one of the horses and hastened to the toll gate for assistance, and on his arrival there a telephone message was sent to this city asking for a doctor. Mr. C H. Smith, proprietor of the toll road, was in the city at the time,and with Dr. I. M Sim h lost no time in getting started. The first person to arrive at the scene of the acci dent was Mr. John Mann, who went from Trask. He found one of the passen gers unconscious with his skull seriously fractured and the other with his arm broken. Finding that he could not get the unconscious person up onto the road alone he had to let him remain there, so took the one with the broken arm to the toll gate. On the arrival of Mr. Smith and the doctor they went imme diately to the assistance of the unfortu nate man who was left on the mountain and conveyed him to the toll gate, but whether hr gained consciousness from the time of the accident will never be known, tor he was dead when hr reached the toll gate. riierc was some anxiety in this city to know who the passengers were, and it was evening I h I oic this information was given out.

While, on the other hand, the non-resident, who buys a piece of land and makes no im provements, allowing it to r.’main idle and enhance in value because a few indus trious persons are making the country valuable, only pay taxes to a nominal amount. By this system we throw the burden of taxation upon the industrious, enterprising citizen. As most of the tim ber land in thiscounty is now owned by syndicates, and is now tied up until such time as it will bring four or five times what was paid for it, we think it only right that this land should bear a larger proportion of the taxation of the county than it is now doing to construct roads and bridges and otherwise improve the county. The Headlight recommends this as a solution to the road problem, believ ing that the time has arrived to make those who hold unimproved and timlier lands for speculation pav more taxes, not that they would object, for they are aware that they are not paying a just proportion. While there is value on this land it is projier that it should be taxed, hut it will be too late to do so after the timber is taken off We think our posi tion in this matter cannot I h * assailed, and we intend staying with it for the purpose of making this an issue at the next county election.
