UNEQUAL TAXATION.

There is trouble over in the state of
Washington through the discovery that
the late Legislature has passed an assess
ment law that excludes from taxation
all credits such as accounts, prommissory
notes and mortgages, and the attorney
general of that state has rendered an
opinion that these are not taxable under
the provisions OF the law. The state
auditor has therefore notified the county
assessors to govern themselves according
to this decision. In Oregon no such law
could be passed without an amendment
to the constitution but we shall watch
with interest what effect it will have on
the finances of Washington. 1t is very
certain that the law will be extremely
unpopular among the producers, but
their interests don't seem to have been
much thought of in the last legislature
any how. 1t is very questionable if the
measure will make money any cheaper
or have any other tendency than to
make the rich richer by exempting them
from taxation and the poor poorer by
compelling them to pay the taxes of the
rich

Baby is sick.-The woeful expression
of Des Moines teamster's countenance
showed his deep anxiety was not entire
ly without cause, when he inquired of
druggist of the same city what was best
to give a baby for cold? 1t was not ne
cessary for him to say more, his counte-
nance showed that the pet of the family,
if not the idol of his life was in distress.
"We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy" was the druggist's answer
81 don't like to give the baby such strong
medicine said the teamster. You know
John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print
ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug
gist. ''His baby, when eighteen months
old, got hold OF bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy and drank the whole of
it. OF course it made the baby vomit
very freely but did not injure it in the
least, and what is more, it cured the ba-
by's cold. The teamster already knew
the value of4the Remedy, having used it
himself, ard was now satisfied that there
was no danger in giving it even to a
baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly.

FISH WHEELS.

There are some sixteen to eighteen
fish wheels between The Dalles and
Cello, all or nearly all waiting to be
turned by the rising river and their own
ers longing for the spring run that has
scarcely yet commenced. What success
they may have it is impossible to tell,
but if their success was only equal to
their capacity the results would be sim
ply stupendous. The united capacity of
these wheels is altogether problematical.
With the largest run of salmon some of
them would catch few while others
might be catching by the thousand.
All depends, or at least nearly all, on
the location, and first class locations are
few in number. 1t may give our readers
some idea of what one of these wheels is
able to accomplish when everything is
favorable when we say that one wheel.
last year caught three tons or fish in
twenty minutes, when it had to be
stopped because the receiving box was
FULL Twenty tons lay is no uncom-
mon record for one wheel, while at least
one in desirable location last year ran
as high as fifty tons. Such runs as
these, however, are like angels visits.
few and far between, and when they do
come they last but short time. The
means of disposal OF large catches has
been the great difficulty heretofore, but
the fishermen are better fixed in this re-
spect, for this season than they ever
were before. During a good year the
profits are enormous, notwithstanding
the low prices of $50 to 500 ton.

WHO IS TO BLAME.

Three months ago the Oregon legfsla-
ture passed bill appropriating $50, 900
for portage railway at the Cascades.
Three days after, congress passed a
bill granting the right OF way. This bill
was promptly signed by president Har-
rison and is now law. Since that time
practically nothing has been done
towards building the road. Whose
fault is it? We propose to find out.
We oiH find out apd we don't care a
picayune who it is the people shall
know who is to blame.
