AN ALBANY DEALER IN REAL ESTATE.

The Albany Herald of last issue
says: "We would like to trade of
the II boilers who betrayed their
party, for the dirt under Hon.
--'s little toe nail, and to
make the trade anywise agreeable to
Mr.. we would be willing
to throw in the sGazette.' And so
it seems some people will continue
displaying symptoms of great liber-
ality about things that don't belong
to themsor in which they have no in
terest or ..concern. But fortunate
enough to all concerned the one who
becomes so recklessly liberal all at
once has no more trading interest or
control in the II alluded to than he
has in the GAZETTE, and that per-
haps more than anything else &C
counts for this irritable disposition so
much displayed during the last sixty
days. If the dictatorial of the one
who now displays such reckless
desire to trade the II off for SO little
dirt (but strong) had been taken by
them in full satisfaction to their con-
science that they would have done
their duty to their constituents by
acting in accordance with such die
tation, all would no doubt have been
peace and quiet over in Linn and
some of us here In Linn" would
have felt happy. But when the II
"bolted" from such dictation in Or
der to carry out the honest will of
their constituents all was wrong.
We know not whether the II al
luded to complied with the wishes of
the people who sent them there.
But tor the Benton county republican
members we feel confident in saying
that they were elected upon a county
alattorm clearly defined and had they

Attorney General Brewster has telegraph

view of tho discovery of extensive irregular
tiles in the registration of votes in Pennsyl-
vania, to make thorough investigation of
the matter where fraud is suspected, and to
cause the arrest, not only of supervisors and
assessors but of election officers. Several
arrests have already been made for making
false returns of voters. In one house only
three of thirty-six persons registered were
entitled to vote. In one locality of fifty
names taken from the list only four were
found. A democratic assessor and repub-
lican supervisor are under arrest.

is master Of the situation and will
dictate terms. All of which assump-
tions are certainly far fetched and
very much overstated. 1t is difficult
! to understand the reasoning why the
, laws-w intended to Operate as a
! burden upon lenders unless it is
claimed that these class of Portland
men do not pay any taxes under the
old system on their capital loaned.
Any other solution of the problem is
hardly conceivable because the taxes
in the borrowing counties are as d
rule, much less than :hey are in Multi
nomah, where, it is claimed by the
author of the article, that the money
comes from which it is sought to be
taxed by this law. Then we have it
that the first objection is solved be-
cause the present law requires a
horde OF financiers TO pay their por-
ton of taxation when under the old
law they escaped it because if they
are disposed TO pay their taxes like
honest men it cannot hamper them
to require them to pay it in some
other county besides Multnomah.
The other.dificulty that the borrower
will have to pay the burdens i'm
posed by this law because the lender
is master of the situation and can
therefore dictate such terms as suits
him, is certainly untrue; because for
nearly two years Past it has as many
times as otherwise been a favor for
the lender to get the opportunity to
place his means ont in proper loans
and during that time borrowers hav-
ing first class securities have dicta-
ted terms about as often as borrowers
have. In fact for some time past
there has seemed to be quite a sur
plus of money seeking loans. The
tables have changed how long it
may continue 1t is difficult, to tell,
but it is evident that in Oregon there
is much more money to loan than
there are borrowers with first.class
security to take it.
The object of this law as we under,
stand is not for the purpose of re-
quireing lenders or anyone else to
pay any unjust tax, but was intended
for the purpose of relieving the diff
Guilty which has become so common
among other things where a man
buys farm agreeing to pay $4,000
for it and pays down at the time |
$4,000 of the purchase price and bor-
rows from the lender in some neigh
boring county $4,000 with which to
pay the balance of the purchase
price. In few weeks afterTthe pur-
chase is made the assessor arrives on
his annualto and values the land |
IN the usual way at about one-thlrd |
Of its value, amounting TO little less

'est manner of remedying the diff
ulties for which 1t is intended, GER

The Wonderful Texan Hog.

To the traveller through Texas one OF
the strangest and most peculiar features
of landscape is the razor-back hog. He
is of Swiss cottage style OF architecture.
His physical structure is angular to n
degree unknown outside of textbook
on the science of geometry. The coun-
try razor-back prowls around in the
woods and lives on acorns, pecan nuts
and roots; when he can spare time he
crawls under his owners fence and as
ssts in harvesting the corn crop. In
this respect he is ncighborly to n fault,
and when his duty ohis owner scrop will
allow he will readily turn in and assist
the neighbors, even working at night
rather than see his crop spoil for want
of attention. Crossing the razor-back
with blue booded stock makes but little
improvement. The only effective way
to imprbve him is TO cross him with a
railroad train. He then becomes an inn
ported Berkshire or Poland-China hog,
and if he does not knock the train off
the track the railroad company pays for
him at the rate of 81 pound, for which
they are allowed the mournful privilege
of shovcling the remains off the track.
The ham of the country razor-back is
more juicy than the hind leg of an iron
iire-dog, but not quite SO fat as pine
knot.

Discovery Of an Ancient Idol in Tennes-

see,
A most interesting discovery was
made near Carthage, Tennessee, recent
". Mr. Carol Gibbs, while blowing,
found n very ancient Indian idol, though
the exquisite finish of the figure and its
oriental posture point to its having been
made by that great prehistoric race
which spread over this country before
the Wild Red Man obtained possession.
If it was made by the Red Man, it was
certainly made at very early date, be-
fore he had lost those Eastern ideas
which the figure shows its maker to
have possessed Upon its back is found
the figure 1919, but the surface of the
letters when compared with the general
surface of the body, shows them to have
been placed there Il great while after
the figure was completed. 1t is made
of compact yellow sandstone, which is
as endurable as marble, yet time has
made great rayages upon it. 1t is six
teen inches in height. The outlines of
the features are very well preserved, in
fact the face is very little damaged. 1t
has high cheek bones, fiat face and
prominent chin. The arms are well
shaped and well proportional. 1t is
represented in asitting posture, with its
legs crossed in oriental fashion. There
is some attempt at delineation of drape-
ry, but time has only left the outlines
so that no definite conclusion can be
reached on this score. The idol is a
creditabe piece of sculpture for even a
highly civilized race, and was certainly
made byno novice in the art, 1t is now
in the possession Of Mr.. w. +, Meyer,
of this place, who has placed it in his
large collection of Indian relics. He
has also recently added an agate NOR
tar, six inches in diameter, to his collec-
ton of Indian relics 1t was also made
by the Indians. 1t weighs twenty-five
pounds. Nashville american.

George w. Simpson was going

told DAPHNE Mccarthy of the intended
journey the girl had spoken not word,
but lain her head gently on his shoulder
and wept as if her heart was breaking.
But when he asked her the question
with which this chapter opens, the little
head, with its coronal of fluffy brown

brown eyes of the girl had looked into
his and cleaned with the holy light of
love that could never die.

sets that die away on a day that has
