wAGoSER VS.. BELKSAr. - The Salem
Democrat gives the following account OF
the war at Salem heretofore mentioned !:
1t appears that representative BelkEsp,
who 10 supposed to represent Benton
county, favors the petition, and his op-
ponsnts charge that he does so for the
reason that the county seat Of the new
county would be located In hin neighbor
hood, and Mr. 6 A Wagner, on the part
OF the remonstrants intimated that there
was an unholy alliance between the
friends oil B.sinc and Lincoln (eounties.l J
Representative Bslknap retoFted 10 the
effect that Mr. Wagner Was an unholy
liar, whereupon Mr. Wagner promptly
reached for Mr. Belknap, but failed 10
find him. Immediately the room was in
an upfoar. and petitioners and remon-
strants were mixed up in what threat

brook. In q short time, however, order
Was restored and upon Al examination il
was found thai the whole affair had been

PORTLAND SATISFIED. The repeal Of
the mortgage tax Law Is well received In
this city. especially that part which pro-
hibits the exemption from Indebtedness.
That this indebtedness has been played
for all II Is worth, shere can be no doubt,
and the new law viii reach many who
have heretofore escaped BY that question.
able route. II Is understood that the Gov.
ernor has signed the bill, and our city
fathers, who have been casting about fol
the source from whence the increased ex-
penscs must come, see the opening as thii
bill will add probably one-third more tc
the taxable property Of this city. The bill
was passed at very opportune time -
Dispatch. Il was peculiarly PortianC
measure to defeat the mortgage iax Law
and no wonder they are satisfied.
A YOUNG BLAcKsMiTH.-CiydeD Dannals
