four years old. Last April she was ia
ken down with measles, followed with 6
dreadful cough and turning into a fever
Doctors at home and at Detroit treated
her, but in vain, she grew worse rapidly

Then she tried DR.. Kings new dis
covery and after the use of two and
half bottles was completely cured
They say DR.. Kings new discovery i!

LECTURE COURSE.

1t is intended to publish each week a
ing on the subjects of the lectures for
the use of such persons as may wish to
look up the matter further for them
selves. The following Is the list in con-
necton with President Andrews lecture
this evening: Ely, r. r., "French and
German Socialism in Modern Times,
"Recent American Socialism,; Kirkup,
r., enquiry into Socialism,; Rae, j.,
Contemporary Socialism; Laveleye,
f., "Socialism of Today; Graham, W.,
socialism, New and Old; Bcllamy E.,
Hooking Backward, 2OOO-1SS7"; Wool
sey, Theodore d., communism and
Socialism,; Marx, X, "Capital'.
In connection with the lecture for
next Friday evening, April 20, by Prof.
J. B. Clark, the following references for
reading would be of interest: The Ma
tional Economist, the official organ of
the Farmers Alliance, published at
Washington; "Farmers' Alliance His
tory" by n. A. Dunning and others
"History of the Wheel and the Alliance
by w. S. Morgan; Farmers Alliance
Almanac.
The number of tickets sold for the
course has been fairly good and it i,
hoped that there will be a rousing good
audience to welcome Pres. Andrews this
evening.
There seems TO be some misconcep
ton among the townspeople as to thu
nature of the lectures. Some have hest
tated about going for fear that the lee
lures would be too learned to be inter.
esting. This will not be case. Al
these lecturers are men who know how

by our county assessor TO the state board

"tjilliam county has been out the
state tax on a great many mortgages
heretofore, and AZ the county court oi
this county and myself fail to find any
law under which collections oi mortgage
tax can be forced, under Instructions
from the said court did not assess them
for this year"
TO this the Hood River Glacier com-
ments as follows
"Gillialn county furnishes case this
year that stumps the state board Of
equalization. 1t seems the assessor fail
ed TO assess mortgages at all. Now the
state board is only authorized TO equal
ize assessments, and does not have the
power to make new assessment. As
no assessment was made on mortgages.
the board ie confronted with this propo-
sition: 1t looks TO us as though the only
remedy is for the county to 90 after its
assessor, as the board has nothing to

not in the whole state Of Oregon a coun-

would be made more prosperous by aa-
suining the burden of separate county
organization There are already several
counties possessing but small popula-
tion and not enjoying sufiirient reye-
nue. properly to support comfy govern
ment. They were created because Of the
great area Of tile counties to which they
formerly belonged, and the necessity Of
reducing it so that the people rnight live
within reasonable distance Of the seat
Of government. This condition does not
exist now in any locality where there is
sufficient population to maintain sepa-
rate county organization. The proposed
new counties consist Of territory already
within reasonable distance Of the pres
ent county-seats and enjoying fairly good
means Of communication by rail. The
demand for new counties is made solely
for town-booming purposes, to give towns
added importance and the extra bnsi-
