A good deal has been written
concerning the mortgage tax law.
The general expression of opinion is
that the law should stand, that there
is no difference between a note and a
mortgage as an evidence of indebted
ness, and that as notes have always
been taxed at their face value So
should mortgages. A like unanimity
OF opinion exists as to the arbitrary
valuation of land, though no remedy
is suggested to obviate what is doubt.
less an existing evil.

A Decision in Favor OF Poor Men

A Decision in Favor of Poor Men.
Mr.. Charles DAVIS "proof' for 8
homestead, II miles from town, has
been rejected by the geneneral land
office-not on account of internal de-
6ciency, for many are gaining titles to
government land on weaker showing
of residence and improvement, bur be-
cause it was held that, being man of
means, he has no sufficient excuse for
not remaining most of the time ON his
claim and so improving it as to fully
manifest an intent to make perma-
nent home. Those young men Of the
city who have little means, and who
are holding claims by periodical visits
at such times as they can pass away
from their employment and who are
unable to pay for more extensive i'm
provements than small cabin, and q
few acres for plOwing, would seem TO
have in this decision no cause for
alarm, If they are proceeding in good
faith. However, the decision in Mr..
Davis case is unique, in that seldom
if ever before has the department
made distinction between rich and
poor IN the matter of homestead resi-
dence and improvement. Most every
one hereabouts is familiar with in
stances of homestead proof accepted
from persons in good circumstances
whose evidences Of good faith have
been inferior to those exhibited by
Mr.. Davis. The inference is either
that the department has become lately
bent on a closer drawing of the
lines, or, what is more probable, that
the special agent now here, by inquiry
into particular cases, is atfording the
department evidences heretofore un-
obtainable, upon which intelligent
conclusions may be based. If the re-
suit of his efforts shall be a check to
the prevailing looseness of ideas re-
garding the taking of government
land-a Generalization, by the way,
which owes much to loose laws and
rulings at Washington-this neighbor-
hood will have reason 20 bless Mr.
Grass and his mission. 1t is a little
rough on Mr. Davis, though, that he
should have to figure as a horrible e1-
ample, when many predecessors, of
more money and less good faith, have
secured titles to homesteads without
encountering single embarrassing
question. - Walla WaLId Journal.

The man that falls in a fit and
after coming to, asks four bits from
the bystanders, is IN the city. He
will be followed by the individual who
buys two bits worth of soap, wraps it
in pink tissue paper, gets some en-
velopes with blank tickets in them
and sells the two bits worth of soap
for $l75 After him will come the
man on the steamer who was robbed,
and wants TO get back to some of the
cow counties where his friends would
take care of him. Then will appear
the woman that lost her husband in
the summer Of '79 and is steadily de-
clining superior inducements in the
hope Of finding James and proving
that love lasts as long as life itself.

Girls Wanted.

Among those who should come to
this Northwest arc girls capable AMI
willing to do housework. At this office
there is an almost constant inquiry
like this:
'Can you tell me whore / can find
a girl to do houseworkl"
And we cannot. 1t is probable that
one hundred girls, capable and eff
cient, could find places just now in this
city.
The men folks are getting anxious
to have near a bright, chatty, cozy-
looking girl in the kitchen and about
the house generally, for more reasons
than one, the chief being that the sea-
son is coming apace when the early
mornings will be chilly, and a fellow
doesn't like to bounce ont of bed at ,
o'clock and make fire. 4 man
would a good deal rather lie cuddled
up in half dozen blankets until the
tea kettle begins to sing the breakfast
reveille. There is no better time than
the early morning hours TO lie quiet
and concoct schemes for getting ahead
of your fellowmen. At this hour cvn-
science has not fully awakened, and
one feels particularly elated.
The lady who last inquired for a
servant girl says that she is willing to
give girl fair show if she will come
along. She says her husband shall
light the iire-wiTh very pronounced
emphasis on she "shall'' that bodies
dire calamity to that rooster il he
dares TO whine. She says the girl can
have her choice of all the dresses in
the wardrobe, each Sunday ont, two
other evenings of the week, the run OF
the parlor and the latest music.
When the Ministries come along the
girl shall have 4 front pew, with choco-
late caramels thrown IN. III it is a
box, then box goes. If the girl viii
do the work, and let the lady have
her husband, she can command a faiI
salary and any number of favors.
CandidIy, We know of no place this
side Of the New Jerusalem where {
hired girl can be so completely happy
in all her surroundings as here il
Portland. She has little work, plenty
to eat, good salary and nineteer
chances in every possible twenty
of being struck by Cupid light
ming before she has closed the first
fiscal year in service. STANDARD.

The run of salmon has CONNER

The run of salmon has commenc-
ed in the bay and now the fishermen
60 for them nightly; but thus far the
boats have not averaged a catch of
more than about six each per night.
The best haul reported TO US was made
by Samuel Anderson last Thursday
night, when he caught ten large
salmon and two sturgeon, weighing
respectively about % and 30 pounds.
The salmon taken at present are ex-
cellent and of large size, and the mar
ket is well supplied at the usual rates.
Last week Anderson quartered some
of his large fish and sold the pieces at
% cents each. Mai, Coos Bay.)
