The DTanufaeture of Cans.

In that oldest, nestlike part of New
York, the French quarter, 1000 or 5000
men and girls make annually So, ,000, 900
worth of caps, exclusive of the 81 900 900
worth made by the furriers of that re-
gion. At least 1000. 900 dozen caps are
turned out in this quarter every year
AS to Styles. there are nearly 500 varie-
ties OF yachting caps alone there are
something like two dozen kinds, if, in
deed, twoscore is not nearer the correct
number.
A few leading styles, however, persist
with little or no change from year to
year. The west constantly demands a
cheap cap with ear coverings. Every
year sees some cap for girls the rage
Such caps sell by the hundred thousand
dozen. A hint comes from Paris, and
in a few weeks the new caps swarm in
every street.-New York World

President Polk, "with all his faults, :"
pointed Y says: "The farmers of the
country own % per cent of the wealth
and pay so per cent of the taxes. Does
this seem right? Does not this condi-
tion call forth some action on the part of
the farmers?'' This condition should
not exist, and the way to remedy it with
benefit to all is to place all taxes on land
regardless of improvements. That
would lessen the farmers taxes by pre-
venting the speculator from pocketing
"unearned increment which should 90
to the state for taxation purposes.-E0st
OregOniGn.
So the proper way to save The farmer
from paying an unjust proportion of
taxes is to tax him more. If under a
system that taxes personal as we'll as
real property, the farmer pays so per
cent. of the taxes the way to avoid
this inequality is to tax land only and
let the banker and capitalist, with their
money and bonds and securities go free.
Real estate now bears probably seventy
per cent. of all taxes and personal prop
-erty, the other 80. Don't tax personal
property says the above writer, and real
property, will have fewer burdens to
bear. 1t is singular theory and most
singular the mental characteristics that
can believe it.

to know how this astute Mongolian ever

The old adage that opposition is the
life of trade, was never more forcibly il
lustrated than in the case of the Baker
now carrying passengers from the east
ern parts of Oregon and Idaho mot from
The Dalles on way points, TO Portland
for fifty cents. The gentlemanly agent
of the Union Pacific-Mr. Lytle, in
formed the writer today that the Baker
is now making money-that is making
money carrying passengers at fifty
cents from here to Portland. Now this
is the first time the Baker has made
money fof ten years. During all that
time she has been running at loss to
the company of some fifteen hundred
dollars Il month while her freight and
passenger rates were about three times
what they are now-the passenger rate
was in fact more than seven times
greater than now. Now if the Union
Pacific can make more money carrying
passengers at fifty cents than it could at
1896 the path of wisdom and commercial
profit surely lies in sweeping reductions
from present rail rates. And assuming
that Mr.. Lvtle's statement is true with
what reason or consistency can the
company fight the State Railroad
Commissioners in their efforts to
bring about reduction of rates?

a warm-hearted and sympathetic comrade, a
dignified and courteous commander. one
whose advice was at all times sought and in
variably followed. We, the officers and com
rades Of Hiram Burnhsm Post, can but feel
that in his death we have suffered an irrepar-
able loss. As 3 soldier on the field OF battle
his courage and ability were unquestiOned; Us
d citizen, bis life was above reproach; as
member Of the G. A. X. he was q jealous and
indefatigable worker for the welfare OF the
order; ever keeping in mind the three great
principles OF our organization, Fraternity,
Charity and Loyalty. Therefore,
Resolred. That we. the officers and COM

Rescript.
The statutes relating to liens and their en-
forcement upon buildings make no distinction
between contractor and a sub-contractor, as
regards the statement of the amount due
with all Just credits given"
Where contractor agrees to furnish labor
and materials under an entire contract for a
specified sum, it is sufficient for the preserva.
ton Of the lien under K. S. c. 81 ! 80 50, to
file a statement Of the amount due, without
stating the items making up such amount
Held, accordingly, that it need not appear
what part of the amount due is for labor as
distinguished from the amount due for mate
rials.
Kicker vs.. Jay y. Maine LOG affirmed.
Exceptions overruled.
