pounds of seed of three different
varieties, just imported from the
susar-producing region OF Germany,
that will be supplied at cost in ten
pound lots to all persons desiring to
compete for the prizes or will agree
to supply the statistics and samples
of beets to be tested.
Mr.. Meeker gives the result of a
years work of a sugar factory in Ger
many upon beets yielding $50 per
cent. of sugar and BAL of syrup, a
total of II 90 per cent. Of saccharine
matter, and producing sugar at a
cost of 4 cents per pound. The Puy-
allup beets grown during the year
1879 yielded 12.6S per cent. or .39
per cent. more than those reported,
as tested by Prof. Hilgard, of the
University of California.
Labor and interest on capital will
cost more with US than in Germany,
yet fuel and land are cheaper, and
here our product is not taxed, from
which it is to be inferred that the
prospect of q favorable test and re-
munerative returns when the enter
prise incident to it is fully inaugur-
ated. is quite hopeful.

A REAL estate boom exists at Seat
tie, caused by late visit of Mr.. j.
N. Dolph, leading citizen of Port.
land. It appears that he made q
critical inspection of the Seattle and
Walla-walla Railroad, examined the
records relating to it and evinced o
desire to purchase the property. A
conference was held, which resulted
in the President of that Company
visiting Portland. Since his return,
although nothing definite is known
by the citizens, real estate has adj
vanced considerably, and the ut
most confidence is felt.

A Slander on Oregon.

The following incident, related
by an Oregon exchange, seems
seasonable at this time, when our
glove factory is engaging the atten-
ton and solicitude of the people.
The first institution of the kind es-
tablished in Portland was the Ore
gon Glove Factory, and it swung to
the breeze monster glove, as a sign
which even the most illiterate could
read and readily understand. The
glove disappeared one night, aud
every effort to trace it up proved Of
no avail. All hopes of ever finding
it were given up until last month,
when the following letter was deliv-
cred in Portland, bearing the post
mark I" Liverpool, Jan. LIST:
Mr.. George Williams, Proprietor
Oregon Glore Factory: DEAR Sir
In all probability ere this document
crosses the ocean and continent of
America you will have missed from
the front of your business house a
leather glove tWenty-six inches in
length and fourteen inches in width,
having four fingers and one thumb.
1 have that glove. One night I was
taking in the lee shore having p bit
of grog aboard, and while passing
in front of your place l pulled the
glove down, emptied the sawdust
out o. it and took it on ship board.
! brought it with me to Liverpool
and it is now on exhibition as a
specimen Of the gloves worn by the
Webfeet out in Oregon. 1t attracts
much attention, ard while some be-
lieve it true many appear doubtful.
l do hope you will not be angry
with me, for l am far away, and We
may never meet again in this vale of
tears, and am too far away from
you to receive bodily harm. 1 was
young when 1 performed the villain
GUS crime, and that should go far
toward causing you to forgive me,
and induce you to send me check
for few pounds as memento, and
for advertising your business. If
you have the mate to this glove, you
would confer favor by sending it
to me, and 1 will find n place for
the pair in the British Museum.
And now, good friend, l have per-
formed my duty and will say fare
we'll. With my regards, J. remain
your friend.
Midshipman JAMES CARLISLE,
OF the Ship Lalla Roohh.
Mr.. Williams admires the cheek
of the boy, and seems to enjoy the
affair very much, but will neither
send the glove nor the check, as
suggested.

An Unfortunate Squabble.

nu ShAVA SsAAsNNO bJYAssWWAOe
A conflict has arisen between our
County Commissioners aud the Di-
rectors of the Olympia and Tc,.ino
Railroad Company regarding the
amount of taxes to be paid uader
the levy of 1879. 1t seems that the
road was assessed at or near it's full
cash value, creating a tax. at the
rate of about twenty mills on the
dollar, of some thirteen or fourteen
hundred dollars. The Commission
ers themselves freely admit that
circumstances have rendered the tax
rather excessive, but adhering to
the letter of the law, instead of
using discretionary power admissa-
BILE under the circumstances, they de-
mand payment of taxes and costs
without abatement. Payment not
having been made according to law,
the road wos offered for sale, last
Wednesday, and sold to Mr.. Fran
els Henry, acting as agent for the
county. What is to be gained by
this maneuver remains to be seen.
The rolling stock is worthless pro-
perty to the county without the
track and road-bed, and if it is dis
posed of to outside parties, the coun-
ty will lose all the benefits to be de.
rived from the operation of the road,
without lessening any Of its liabili-
ties assumed under the act of Con-
gress authorizing the issue of bonds.
1t is said that the county will take
possession of the rolling-stock un-
less the tax is paid forthwith or the
Directors become Individually liable
for its payment.
We affirm that it is asking toe
much for the Commissioners to in
sist upon the Directors giving per-
sonal security for any liability as
sumod as 4 corporation. The rail.
road is not owned or operated as a
paying enterprise, butas necessary
adjunct to the present and future
prosperity OF the people and county.
A few months ago, the same Com
missioners compromised with the
Northern Pacific Railroad Co., who
had allowed their taxes to become
delinquent five years cousecutive'y,
by paying three per cent. upon its
gross earnings, according to its own
returns, an amount scarcely exceed
ing on its ~ miles of road, that
assessed for a single year upon Is
miles of our local road. The Direc-
tors of the Thurston County Con
struction Co. offered to pay one-half
per cent. more than the amount &C.
cepted Us the basis of compro mise
with the Northern Pacific Co. but
their tender was rejected.
The "13, is, IA" problem to us is
Why the Commissioners should deal
more leniently with wealthy cor
poration, three thousand miles away,
than with our own home company,
which is actuated simply by desire
to promote the public welfare. We
hope that common sense view will
be taken of the matter and that a
majority of the Board of Commits
sioners will do what is fair and just
in the premises. They must remem:
Der that the majority will be held re-
sponsible, even if the policy is die
tated by single headstrong mem

CATHOLIC SPIRIrUALIsM.-The San
Francisco Monitor tells o very sim
gular story which is certainly very
encouraging to servant girls inclined
to give their last shilling to the
Church: A young servant who had
lost her situation through illness,
left the hospital with only single
franc. On he's way to an employ
ment Office she passed a church
where priest was at the altar of1ici-
ating. She entered, gave her franc,
assisted at the mass and went anx-
iously on her way, but she had not
gone far when she met a gentleman.
ly young man, who, without asking
if she was in want of a situation,
gave her the address of a lady with
whom, he said, she would find a
good home. She went to her and
found that she had just dismissed a
servant, but had told no one of it,
and was surprised when she heard
of the young mans direction. The
servant saw on the wall the very
likeness of the young man. 1t was
the old lady's son who had been
dead two years God had sent him
to her assistance, aud the old lady
made her an ad,i,.,. daughter.
