NiiintT t. test the constitution- ality of tbe bicycle tax law, was yes terday decided by Circuit Judge A; V, Sears Jr."iTh learned judge, one of . .i .!.-. Ln l li Oreiron bench, de- cides against the law. - The Portland Telegram of last evening, la reporting i- a --M "- " tha .WUhn has the following. f .i...i.A cra I. -!.! the law to le .4UIJ.. . - nnconstltutlonal on several grouu.is, , - . a - .itUi. the principal one that seemcu io s-ir.e .k 4irt with createst froce. Ielng that the law provided for double and unequal taxation of one class of per sonal pmiierty. Btcycies, , as w .ii n. rxMrwnal nrouertr. are sui- nosed to be taxed, and It U reHignaut to the constituuon io for KisH'ial and additional taxatlou. The bnoxloUs to the constitution in still another res-eett In that It does not Impose the tax In proportion to t. caIiiAk ikr the bicycle; the ad valor em prluclple.Mhat is supposed to un derlie all state taxation, Is hereil to. and a bicycle worth , $- Is taxed as much as one ,rth . "The law. In the opinion oMbe court. is .. also - unconMtitathnal upon the ground that it is local legislation on a subject In w hkh soch legislation is prohibited by the const itntiou. This act provides fur this species of taxa tion In ertain counties of t lie state and exempts other counties from Its provisions, and hence Is local lgisla tion. in two reiects. of the kind pro hibiteed by "the constitution :tirst. in regard to taxation, and scond, in re gard to opening and maintaining pub lic high ways. As narrated in The Telegram last ..week, the Supreme Court of Oregon has gone to extreme lengths In holding su h legislation valid.but Judge Sear is evidently of the opinion that this law goes beyond any that has been held good by the Supreme t'ourt. At least be ilecides the case acr-ording to his view of tbe constitution and the statute, leaving the Supreme Court to determine the case as It pleases. The law was attacked on several other grounds, but l he court did not sjiecifically pass on all of them, basins his decision on what seemed to It most important. The ease will lie ap pealed at once to the Supwnne Court." A MANILA BONNET. Lester B.

Below are a few excerpts which the Statesman was : kindly permitted to take from the epistle: I.waut to tell you that a fellow's chances here are just as slim an they would tie on top of one of those sand hills in Eastern Oregon that J. as far a making money Is concerned. I talked to fifteen different men this morning, and they are every one try ing to get enough money ahead to buy a ticket home. It i the poorest town. financially. I ever saw; not a man anywhere who can buy a ticket out. except the saloon men. I saw two men nearly fight yesteiday, over a 5 cent piece that one of them picked up in the street, ami the other one said It wa his. that he lost It the day be fore. 1 did not stay to the finish, for 1 knew they would begin to shoot pretty soon, so I left.'

I went over to liny some vaccine ioints. and one doctor wanted $3 a piece or f3 for two; so I went to auotlier who had nearly sold out, but sahl. If 1 would take two, I could ! have thcui for $l.So. V - "It is the rot t eneat plae! Oh. Gosh! It is rotten, that's all then Is to it. The men that boosted this country and caused all these poor devils to come litre ought to be shot.

"So here we are. 2.MiMl strong, lying around like a set of . blamed fols. The men that -died with smallpox I consider lucky, and they will l the only lucky ones In Nome.

The secoiid letter, written under date of July 13th,- Is a little more cheerful. The following excel pt are taken from It: - t The weather here is just a lillle too warm for comfort.' .We bud one threat about a week ago. but It did not storm. It is so ifry the miiu-rs can not work their claims. , "I will never lie s.rry that I made the trip, aud something may xhoW up yet this ssson, Somej ne ut us has been sick In lcd nearly nil the time so far, except! what time vi were buihliug our boat.
