NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.

We think it just to the people Of
Douglas county that their especial at
tention be called 70 tteslaw governing
the assessment Of property. This be-
ing the means Of raising revenue with
which to protect private rights and re-
dress public wrongs, hence no State or
county cen have a stable form Of gov
ernment. without equal and just
means Of taxation. All classes Of cit
izens should be willing to contribute in
proportion to the true value of their
property. And while it is desirable
that county officials should do strict
Justice to all classes that contribute to
the public charge, it will resolve itsel
into a conclusion of law that thos3 who
pay the taxes cannot be held blame
less when they refuse or neglect at the
proper time t, see for themselves that
their property has been justly and
fairly assessed under the law.
Mistakes do and will occur with as
sesscrs, and it is of the utmost import
ance to the taxpayer to know that his
certificate agrees with elsa assessment
roll. To meet these esiis. y Board of
Equalization has beeni created, whose
duty it is to meet on the last Monday
in August of each year to correct mis-
takes in the description OF valuation of
property; and if the taxpayer allows
this opportunity to pass by unheeded,
he caniet blame the collector of taxes
when he comes around If he don't find
his assessment to agree With his certiti-
cate flom the Assessor The State Is
yearly rsaping ~hiio the counties are
loosing by the negligence of those who
should be most interested.
Come, farmers, citizens and look to-
your interests and it will save you
both time, trouble and expense. The
law contemplates that the opportunity
thus offered should put All end to the
further correction or alteration of the
assessment roll.

THE CHINESE QUESTION.
The ninety days time has elapsed for

The ninety days time has elapsed fol
the Chinese restriction bill to go into
force, and it has now become the law.
More than thirtyssix. thousand of these
coolies have landed on ourcoast during
the ninety days time, ard over forty
thousand of these servile laborers have
been brought here since the veto of
the first, restriction bill, under a system
of,yeonage antagonistic to cur laws and
castoms Over thirty thousand are
credited to San Francisco and over ten
thousand to POI ltland alone, a large
lumber of whom have been shipped
from Portland to this place, and are
now employed on the construction of
sae railroad south of here, under con-
tract not with the individuals, but di-
rect with the companies in Portland,
who own and control and who brought
them here.
These barbarians rill be turned
loose en- the people of this and Jack
son counties SO soon as the road is COM
plsted 20 the California line, to garrote
She rich mines Of ii is section, as they
have done in Califol MIA, and to crowd
out and displace an equal number of
white laborers in every branch of en-
ployment.
The bill as il passed in its modified
fofia "a not only attended with this
evil, which must be patent to every in
Sslligent mind, but it is inefficient to
prevent the inrsad of these barbaiians
from and through the British posses
sions, whenever. any great entelg rise
offers paying iaveseipent for their
tnaateis to bring them here.
4 case Is being made in San Fran
cisco to test the validity of the law.
Should it be held valid by the courts,
whs doubts that whenever the nj onop-
lists who are engaged IN the great Ell
terpriGes of manufactures and railroad

throughout the country, that they viii

Oyerdid the Thing.

Yesterday afternoon man from Park
City came into the Cliff House consider
ably excited, and inquired if certain
person was stopping there. He ex-
planned that the man had ''done him
dirt" and he was anxious to lick him.
Finding that the man had Just left the
house, he rushed out after him, and find
ing him on Tribune Avenue, walked up
and announced that he had come all the
way from Park City to lick him, and ac-
cordingly he started in. In few min
utes he had blackened both the man s
eyes, walked all over him, and reduced
him to general wreck. When he had
finished the job, he stood the man up
against the wall of Walkers bank, and
remarked:
Now, you contemplate, lop-eared
scoundrel, want you to understand that
| consider you the most infamous whelp
| ever saw. You dirty little cur, -
"Hold onn' said the man who had Just
been licked, taking off his coat. Il think
that after thrashing man you've got no
right to abuse him. l can stand lick
ing, but won't stand abuse from any
living man, no matter how much he
weighs. Now Pm going to lick you"
He was as good as his word, and started
in with the most business-like air i'm
aginable and knocked his late victor into
the gutter. Every time he got up he
knocked him down with: BLAST me,
| can't stand abuse" When he got
through with the Park City man the
crowd thought he was pile of rags and
mud.
"Now, look here, my friend" said the
last victor; next time you lick a man,
let well enough alone. Don't abuse him.
You handled yourself well enough while
you were licking me, but you overdid the
abuse. "-SGH Lake Tribune.

A Kindly Act.

Mr.. Maurice w. Clark, the popular
conductor of the Chicago & Alton train
that arrived here last night, relates an
incident that occurred on his down trip,
wherein an old gentleman, ninety-nine
years of age, from away up in Wiscon-
sin, and a travelling man, Mr.. Ehrman,
of Chicago figured. 1t seems that the
old gentleman, who was very feeble and
utterly unused to the ways of the world
outside of his own little circle, had pur-
chased a ticket for Holden, Mo. He had
been placed aboard the train entirely
destitute of funds, or the commonest
necessaries of life. Happily he fell in
with the train porter, who attended to
him, doing all in his power, and making
known his wants to the passengers. Mr..
Ehrman, after investigation, promptly
handed the old man ten dollars, saying
as he did so: This is the best invest
ment | could make with this money!"
He also attended to his safe transfer to
the Missouri Pacific train, secured him
berth, and did not leave till he saw
that the old gentleman was made easy
for the rest of his journey. This little
episode endeared tie giver, and was
noticed by all aboard the train.-St.

After good dinner Jacob began to be him
self again. With an old friend and neighbor
he went up to the Capt. oil once more as a mat
ter of curiosity. He saw another case on trial
that OF sutton who was struggling to get
his rights from railroad CORPORATION, He
heard the lawyer for the railroad company al
lude to the sutton as the most bare-faced, I'M
scrupulous and designing villain who had ever
perjured himself in that court room. Look
ing at the party thus described, Jacob saw
only a thin, pale face, on which anxiety was
painfully written. Jacob perceived that his
own case was only one of many, and that in
the court room it had already been forgotten.
There was no reason why Jacob should re-
main longer in town. At four O'Clock in the
afternoon he and Mary were in the wagon in
front OF the hotel, about to leave. Just then
Willie came running down the sidewalk in
great excitement. He came to the side of the
wagon, his warm brown eyes dancing, and
said, with what breath he had left, 60

"No," answered Jacob, "only he worked for

Mary, coloring painfully. 81 never told any

nodded to complete the sentence.
boy stopped on the sidewalk, evidently
listening curiously.
" Drive on, Jacob" urged his wife, in
furry.
William climbed in at the back end of the
wagon, and Jacob started. He had gone but
few steps when he pulled up his horses, and
calling back, said
80, $agl"
THE large man heard it, and came down
the walk to where the wagon was.
=" Would you mind telling me, now that It is

night, or whether you told me just to see how

inglv, Il beg that you will not think that |

Jacob looked after him a few moments,
then gave his horses a cut with the whip, and
started for home.-AHuttic
