oREeoNs ASSESSORS.
They Hold 3 Meeting In Portland and
Talk Over the Situation.

A meeting of county assessors was
held in Portland recently, at which was
present the assessors of Multnomah,
Clatsop, Linn, Clackamas, Douglas,
Morrow, Union, Lane, Baker. Sherman
aud Washington counties.
A good many grievances were aired
and there is no doubt the meeting was
productive of much good. Chief among
them was the matter of the state board
of equalization raising the assessment of
property at so high figure. oftentimes
being higher than its actual cash value.
1t is fact which has caused much dis
satisfaction at The Dalles, one man in
this town to our knowledge being as
sessed 81 500 for piece of property he
had tried unsuccessfully.toIsell for 81 200.
Mr.. Sterling of Douglas said that he has
had to assess cattle and hogs at $3. 20
which could be bought for $1.50. He
would like to have the state board of
equalization get front view of the live
stock in this county. eve are called
county assessors" he said; 1--WE are
really county guessers, and the way the
state board now acts we are virtually
county listers, and the board sets the
values"
Assessor Hendricks of Sherman quer-
led: How could the assessors get out of
the plain provisions of the law, which
declares that assessors must list moneys,
notes and accounts2 He believed that
no credits should be taxed, but the law
was plain. Mr.. Sears claimed that
while one part of the existing law pro-
vided for the assessment of notes, an
other expressly provides that no double
taxation can occur, and that failure to
list mortgage notes had therefore as
much justification as it had opposition
in the statute. Mr.. Hendricks said if
all would abstain from taxing credits of
every sort, he would agree to it; but it
would not be fair for notes secured by
real estate to escape when note secured
by horse, for instance, would be duly
assessed. Mr.. Clark felt the same way.
He said that not a nickel of evidence of
debt was taxed but what was double
taxation, but he could not see his way
clear as an assessor to make himself a
judge of the law. Sterling said: "Ii
there is to be litigation, let it come. ]
propose to assess everything in sight,
though I will not search the records for
evidences of debt Several agreed to
this.
Mr.. Sears, being asked how he
managed bank property, replied that in
the use of private banks he had guessed
at them high enough, SO that they
would either have to acquiesce or go be-
fore the county court and swear to their
true holdings, and in the case of national
banks he had divided the stock among
the stockholders pro rata.

K1ickitat Prospects.

Mr.. Scott Warrick, of Colum bus,
Wash, made this Office a pleasant call
this morning. He informs US that
Klickitat valley has had enough moisture
for the present. The ground is thor
oughly soaked and in places is miry.
Farming interests are checked somewhat
by this condition, but preparations are
made for the largest grain sowing, to-
gether with the winter wheat already
in the ground, that ever was known in
Klickitat. Farmers, however, are very
busy and are much encouraged by the
outlook for year of prosperity.

Electrical Prophecy.


1t now lies within our means to build
an electric transmission of power plant
from coal mine to city, which shall cost
$500, 900, and will transmit 5000 horse
power; this plant will do the work of
$4,000 men steadily day and night, year
in and year out, and once placed will
last lifetime. The $500, 900 represents
the work of the $4,000 men, for about
four days, or an outlay of $40 each; thus
these men can build plant in four days
that will do more work during their
whole lives than they can. Can any
thing appeal to the imagination of man
with more force? The energy of 5000.

Speaking of the remarkable feats of

recalls the achievement of Richard
Peck, who at one time had charge of
the single engine of the old City of Vera
Cruz coming up from Havana South
of Hatteras the piston rod went to
smash, breaking into three pieces But
Peck, after twenty-four hours of con-
tinuous labor, actually mended that
piston so that it was strong and true
enough to do its part with the rest of
the machinery, and he brought his ship
into New York harbor steaming six
knots. This was a deed which, in the
opinion of the Boston Journal, quite
eclipses even the recent notable per
formanceof Engineer Tomlinson, of the

IRELAND's DEAD KINGS.
Host of Them succumbed With Their
Boots On.

Host of Them Succumbed With Their
Boots On.
In Whitakcr's Almanack for 1898
there IS 4 short and succinct account
of the kings of ireland, dating from
the Milesian conquest in 1900 b. c.
There is apparently no record Of the
fate of the first two kings; they were
probably translated. But from the
year 1885 Is. C. to the Christian era out
of 10 kings fifteen died Of malignant
di>temper or plague and the rest were
either killed in battle or died other
violent deaths.
From the Christian era to the reign
Of Henry II. OF England the record is
not more promising. There were APP
parcntly seventy eight kings; of these
tn 'r:cen died natural deaths, that is to
say that they presumably did not live
long enough to enable them to share
the fate Of their predecessors and SUE
cessors; one was drowned in a fog;
one had thirty sons, in itself enough
to cause death: one WAS choked by a
fish bone: three were killed by 'thun-
dc. bolts but as the three reigned
successfully it is not unreasonable to
suppose that tho thunderbolts" were
but rocks, 'hcfted" by the hands of
aspirants to the throne; the remaining
fftv-ninc succumoed to the inevitable
assassination or death in the battle
field Happy Ireland!

WHY He K.mained.

The members of the Independent
Order of Enthusiastic Good Fellows
were operating on Mr.. Timberwheel,
a few weeks ago, putting him through
the operations supposed to be neces-
sary to convert an ordinary citizen
into an Enthusiastic Good Fellow.
They were almost through with the
initiation when some kind of an ex-
plosion in the store over which the
hall was situated blew the building
into the middle of the street, and in
terfered with the ceremonies.
Ready hands set to work and ex-
tricated the people from the debris.
Fortunately no one was hurt very
much, but after a census had been
taken Mr.. Timberwheel was found to
be missing. A search was instituted,
and before long he was found in an
adjoining yard, where the force of
the explosion had landed him. He
sat in a lodge-room chair, and his
eyes were still blindfolded.
why on earth didn't you take that
thing off your eyes and get out Of the
chair when the explosion occurred?"
asked one of the Enthusiastic Good
Fellows.
Explosion echoed Timberwheel.
why, l thought that was part OF
the initiation. n-Harper's Bazaar.

AN HISTORIC LEMON.
It Was Expensive and Ill-Fated Anne
RoIeyn Ate It

Who ever thinks of connecting such
a commonplace article of diet as the
lemon with the romantic history OF
Inflated Anne Boleyn? Yet, indirectly,
she was the cause of its first introduc.
ton into England and SO into popular
notice. Henry VIII.-who, if he rid
himself of his wives like 4 brute, GER
tainly won them like a prince-gavc
such splendid feasts and pageants in
honor of the coronation of Anne and
of their previous nuptials as had sell
dom been accorded to queens of the
blood royal. These l1ingly entertain
ments were in turn followed by great
civic feasts in London, for which the
whole world was searched for deli
cacies to add to the splcndor.
At one such banquet, graced by the
presence of the royal pair, lemon
was introduced as an elegant novelty.
To an epicure such IS Henry the ac-
QUESTION of castle in France would
have proved less acceptable. and such
was the importance attached to the
discovery-so says an old biographer-
that a special record was made of the
fact that the cost of this precious
lemon was SIX silver pennies,
