Journal: Some parties are peddling the Btory that the board of county commissioners, is paying 6 per day for man and team to work on the reform school hill road, which !a not the taut, and those telling the story are either purposely or un knowingly repeating a fulsehood. The commissioner's court pays 45 cents an hour for man and team and it pays the same, no matter where em ployed and that Is what is being paid on the job referred to. ONE WHO KNOWS. Timber and Taxation. Ed. Journal: I noticed In a late issue of the Capital Journal, some comment about assessing timber lands and calling the attention of the assessors to a statement of a Mr. Knapp, of Portland, who has figured that an average section of timber land In Oregon would be worth $600,000 in manufactured form. I consider this comment mislead ing, as many people would Infer that timber lands are not assessed high enough; while the fact of the matter is timber lands are being assessed higher accordingly, and generally pay a higher levy of taxes than the average farming lands. According to the public press, State Treasurer Kay has repeatedly stated, "that he has learned from his experiences In loaning state school funds that farm ing lands throughout the state are assessed at about one-third actual value as a .rule.". But timber lands are being assessed at from about two-thirds to full value and some times higher; while scattering set tiers In timbered districts are voting excessive special school school and road taxes, extensively and general ly unjustly, simply as a legal graft ing proposition, to be paid mostly by those that have no voice in the mat ter. I own a Slletz claim upon which I must pay 24 V4 mills tax; while there Is a timbered district In the Elkhorn precinct In Marion that the levy is 29.7 mills; just a fraction higher than your levies In the city of Salem. I understand that the Curtis Lum ber company, of Mill City, which had a $40,000 forest lire last year, and a $100,000 fire the season before, owns much timber In such school and road districts, where excessive tax levies are being voted; yet, I have been reliably informed that such company has operated at a loss for the last two years on account of such forest fires. The same high handed methods are being practiced in the timbered districts all over Oregon: a few scattering settlers with little property, voting thousands of dollars In road. taxes; having one of their own number as road super visor, and hiring themselves the sea son through, at $2.50 per day of eight hours for a man or $5 for a man and team; practically all at the expense of non-resident timber owners. Is such procedure fair and just to the owners of timber that is unavail able at present, and will not be for many years Are such methods to be tolerated in encouraging conserva tion and re-forestatlon of timbered districts? In regard to your comment about Mr. Knapp's statement, will say that a similar statement could be made about the undeveloped gravel bars along the Willamette river. It would not tnke a gravel bar of one acre to manufacture $1,000 worth of sewer or drainage pipe; henco It would not take a section of gravel bars to be worth $000,000 In manu factured form. The assessors should not overlook the undeveloped gravel bnrs, according to logic, similar to yours about timber binds. Is It wise to pursue u course that Is preventing tho investment of cap ital from other states In Oregon tim ber, or that the timber market is de moralized? I would like to dispose or my SUett claim, and buy a farm and do some developing work myself, but I do not expect to be able to do so until timber interests get a square deal in taxation. Please publish this In justice to the timber Interests, and oblige. Yours truly, A SILETZ HOMESTEADER. o THE ROUND-UP of "Sunset" has a description "Crater Lake in the winter time."

A TUIIEFUT CREATOR OF WALTZES SOME OF THE MOST CATCHY MU. SIC OF RECENT TEARS THE KIND YOU CATCH YOURSELF HUMMIXQ WILL BE HEARD TO NIGHT. The name of Jean Briquet Is a household word In Paris, the city which dearly loves him and his mu sic, but in this country it is only re cently that . he has acquired any vogue. Like Fram Lehar of "Merry Widow'' fame he flashed across the ! country with one of the most tune ful of waltzes. It is called "Alma, Where Do You Live?" and from it the German-French farce which Joe Weber will present for the first time In English at the Grand Opera House tonight takes its name. 'Alma" flrat became popular In New York when the piece was pro duced in German at the German the ater, under the management of Adolph Phillip. It proved bo attrac tive that Joe Weber Immediately se cured the American rights to it He had an English book done by George V. Hobart and had American lyrics written to the haunting melodies of Briquet. The entire original score of Briquet, 14 numbers In all will be beard here. The music has not the fault of being so familiar as to be tiresome. It Is too dainty and above the ordinary for that. n i IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY KID NEYS.
