CORRESPONDENCE.

MYRTLE CREEK Aug. 30th 10.
Ed. INDEPENDENT-Times in
this section are SO very quiet, the
people so very peacable and SO
busy at work that news items OF
any Importance are hard to find.
Of the late rain and the damage
thereby, but little need be said as
the experienre of The people of
one locality appears to be that of
the whole country. In this
neighborhood no great amount of
damage will be sustained by the
farmers except the lapse of time
and the expense of feeding, IN
some cases, large numbers of men
and hors & during the rainy days.
The grain crop, including corn,
oats aud wheat, excepting the
latter, which has suffered materi>
ally from rust, is equal, il not su-
perior to any in several years.
The fruit crop Is far short, apples
in some orchards are almost a to-
tai failure; IN others the fruit IS
scarce aud far below the average
size. The new Alden dryer start !,
ed up on Saturday last to dry
about 100 bushels of plums, all
that could be got in the neigh-
boraood, brt unfortunately, by a
piece of wood getting caught in

Cured with ABOUT seventy bushels
of Iuis IN the chamber all OF
which will be badly damaged if
not lost. The broken machinery
will be Sc at once to the found
ry for repairs, after which the
company intend drying all the
surplus fruit in reach of their fac

HURRAH FOR cALAPoOIA.


We hear 1t from an observing
Independent that there are $50
more Independents OH t'alapoola
creek than ever before known in
the history of the country. We
do not publish the statement of
our friend with the intention of
creating horrid nightmare iol
the average Douglas county poll
tieian, though the sight OF an
houest Independent is frightful in
the extreme to the politician, but
more for the purpose of permits
ting the gallant and Independent
Old Guard who have through de,
feat yet held together and remain
ed the balance os power 10 the
terror OF political thieves. One
hundred gain in Calapooia
precinct means at the next elec-
rioa one hundred and nifty or two
hundred majority for the Inde-
pendent ticket, or those who will
be chosen by the Independents
on other tickets, in the next cam
palgn, and when Calapooia polls
over two hundred majority for
any man upon any ticket there
never can he a question as to his
election. Three years ago Cala-
pooia precinct gave an Independ>
ent majority of from forty to fifty
and the. Independents have siace
then held their own. 1t ls irue
the Independents have not cast
their vote solid for any ticket, brt
the forty or fifty majority has
made itself paramount upon every
occasion. TO take our Inde-

THE COUNTY ASSESSMENT.

Assessor Strange has completed
the assessment OF the county, and
returns the taxable property as
amountingto So, 100, ,0OO--a slight
decrease $3.50, ,O0O) over last year.
In his report he shows that
there has been a remarkable IN
crease in individual indebted
ress throughout the county, aud
in many instances the indebeted-
ness OF a number has doubled,
and there is still greater number
Of instances where the indebeted>
ness has increased one>third in
amount.
This last feature in tho Asses
scr's returns is not altogether
gratifying, and yet cannot be
helped. There is still something
worse behind, in that most Of the
increase of indebtedness has been
brought about in the purchase OF
farming implements and ma
chlnery and in the improvement
Of farms with the expectation OF
a bountltul harvest and good
prices for wheat, and there Is
neither to reward the producer
for the labor and capital he has
expended duriLg the last nine or
ten months. 1t is true that there
has been rust in the wheat fields
of this county this year, the first
time in twenty FIVE years, yet
many Of our farmers are pew
purchasers of land upon which
from the commencement there
was an indebtedness, lncurred in
the purchase, and the failure now
comes upon them when they need
prosperity the most, and they
have only the alternative of in
cleasing their present indebted>
ness with the hope OF better crops
and such prices next harvest as
will leave them once more tree of
debt. We do not expect the rust
again next year; but the ques
tion is, will prices rule high
enough then to leave the farmer
IN debt a sufficient profit to wipe
ont his indebtedness? Another
failure IN crops and low prices
would leave many OF our farmers
bankrupted.
But in this dark cloud there is
to be traced a small streak of sill
yer hnIng. The assessment this
year will permit q reduction OF
taxation of two mills on the dcl-
lar, and the amount OF taxes col>
lected will furnish ample means
to pay the lasr dollar OF the
county Indebtedness. This year
forty thousand dollars will be re-
qnired to run the county and pay
the debt, aud next year taxes will
be decreased at least one>third
what they are now. In the event
of low prices ruling for wheat
next year, it is safe to argue there
will De a heavy harvest and less
taxes to pay.

oils, acids, metals. or other deleterious
substances. This whisky is pure. o. supe-

This is pure barley and wheat spirit, re-
markable IN fragrant ethers which impart a
delicate aroma. at the same time gradually
increasing it's value as diffusive stimuli. Mt.
The solid residue contains large amount of
tannin. derived from storing in oaken cas.s.
which imparts to fine old whisky one of
its valuable individual qualities. The
amount OF residue proves the whisky to be
free from the excessive colGring and sweet
ening SO generally used in adulteiating.
In fact, in two words ii is the PUREST
WHISKY, and will not only supply pubs
lie want. now that whiskies are so qener.
ally adulterated. but will be of the greatest
value to the physician in those numerous
cases in which pure whiskies are the most
useful OF all medicines. G. COOK.
