public officers and though the busi
ness of the county has been greatlv in
creased iu some instances a few of the
office holders h ue succeeded in actual
ly reducing their running expenses.
One instance is the office of Countv
Assessor Hen F. West who conducted
the office of county assessor on such a
narrow margin of overhead expeuses
last year tint Assessor lien Keei.ey, of
Lane county, sent his chief deputy
down to Salem to find out how Marion
county's assessor could handle more
business than there was in l.nno coun
ty for less money.
Iu cistiug over his record as shown
by the warrants drawn and charge 1 to
his account, .Mr. W.st finds that his
record will not only bear close scrutiny
out lie invites the careful citizen
scrutinize it.
Iu 1!H2, the year before Mr. West
went into office, the tax roll consisted
of.SSS pages of 29 lines each. Tn 101.-.
La j the roll contained S)o2 pages of 30 lines

H. P. Hoey that L'tiO miles of
railroad will be constructed be
tween Coos Hay and Kurekn,
California, connecting the Wil

completion, and the Western
Pacific, which has Eureka as
its northern terminus.
To date tho Willamette Pa

Coos liny, has cost Jr'9,UU0,0U0,
Hoey said.
A road from Cool Hay to

posed lino from Mapleton to

coast route between Portland
and 3hn Francisco.

Portland, Or., Jan. 2?. The sailing
schooner Kepent, abandoned by her
captain anil crew of seven men, is to
day wallowing helplessly in the sea off
Cape Lookout. The French bark Bay

fate, is believed to be proceeding slow

lant masts by the board. Not until the
steamer Avalon i.rrived at South Bend,
Washington last night with the l(e-
peat's crew was it learned th.it it was
not the Bayard which has been aban-l

the assessor feels is a tribute to, and
ill recognition of, the effort that he has
jiua.le to exercise sliicl fairness and im-
p.irtiatity iu assessing prooerty. Con
tributing to this result also,' is Mr.
West's policy of appointing men ns
