This is the last meeting Of the county
board Of equalization. The feature of
to-day's meeting was the strenuous
effort of the Benedictine father of Mt.
Angel. 1t seems that they own 224O
acres of mountain and l435 acres of
valley land, 1876 acres altogether. On
this they are taxed $29,O43. Their ar
gument was that under the law they
should not be taxed, but the Judge did
not see 1t that way,-Salem Indepen-
dent.

The following letter has been sent
to school clerks in this county;
DEAR SIR:-T herewith enclose you.
an order on the county treasurer for
the amount Of the state sclonE fsRd'
apportloued to your district TSs
! firS
- was only about half what we ex-
pected from the state, but the state de-
partment has made arrangements to
distribute the remainder of the funds
about the first of January, 1894. OF
the county funds I am sorry to say
that they are locked up in the sus-
pended Linn County Bank. The re-
ceiver Of the bank has informed me
that from one-fourth to one-half Of the
money now In the bank belonging to
the school fund will be paid by the
first of January.
The funds now in the bank amount
10 something over $l7, 700, and hope
to be able to distribute this money to
the districts before the appointment
next spring. OF course the districts
will get their money as soon as the
bank pays it TO the treasurer.
There is also over $4,000 of delinquent
school taxes yet to be collected by the
sheriff. This added to the funds in
the bank and what we have estimated
will be the remainder paid us by the
state, will give about four dollar per
capita yet to the districts, or in round
number, about $31 900.

The following article from the Ore
gon State Journal is "more than half
true," although rather overdrawn.
"Times are very hard when it comes
to paying debts or for the necessaries
of life, but when it comes to luxuries
and pleasure there is generally plenty
of money dug up to keep business
lively.
"a snide medicine show can run
here every night for three weeks in
succession, and have from 800 to 500
people at each performance at 10 and

icine' at 81 bottle cash down, when a
large majority of the audience live
from hand to mouth, and are alNaysin
trouble and hard rum
ut is needless for the Populsts or
anybody else to try to help people who
are born like sieve, to sow and scatter
every cent they can lay their hands on
as fast as they can get it. Nobody can
help them-they can't help themselves,
and don't know enough to take care of
themselves. No law and no legal pro
lection that can be devised can help
them. God himself can't help them,
for he has tried by making world
full of everything needed and giving
them fair chance, under laws re9uir-
ing industry and economy, and has
failed to keep them from continual
poverty and want, which they attri-
butte to the imperfection of the laws OF
God or man, when they are usually to
blame themselves"

Striking While the Iron was Hot.

Miss Herbert, daughter Of the secre-
tary of the navy, since coming into the
cabinet circle has had some interesting
experiences in being importuned to use
her influence with her father in the mat
ter of securing positions for people
wholly unknown to either of them. Not
the least amusing of these occurred dur
ing a visit to her old home in Alabama.
When she arrived at her destination, it
was to find herself minus her trunk,
which, after due inquiry at the railroad
station, she finally located at a small
out of the way place on the road where
a change of cars had been made. Ac-
cordingly telegram of inquiry was sent
with the satisfactory result of the speedy
appearance of the missing trunk.
The next day came voluminous let
ter from the station master thanking
Miss Herbert for the opportunity thus
afforded of extending the courtesy of his
road and evincing his own desire to
please in the speedy restoration OF heI
travelling gear. While assuring her OF
his permanent desire to accommodate
her upon any and every occasion, he
would esteem it mark of proper recog-
milton if she would mention the matter
to her father and forthwith secure him
a position in the navy department.

BRuNsoN AND HIS ISLAND.

They are In No Country. and He Owns Al
legiance to Nobody but BrunsOn-
The people of Olympia and residents
of neighboring points know of lost
island that is actually lost so far as the
government records are concerned. 1t
Is known to steamboat captains and peO-
pie in the neighborhoOd as Steamboat
island, because of its resemblance to a
big steamboat. Instead of being lost to
sight, this island has really lost its iden-
tity. According to a frank admission
on the part of the land department, this
island is not under the control of any
known government.
This discovery was made by man of
the name of E. Brunson, who squatted
on the island about three years ago and
then sought to file on the land as a
homestead. He was sent from one point
to another trying to get it surveyed, but
met with nothing but disappointment at
each turn. At length, after wearisome
delay. the department at Washington
sent word that it had no knowledge of
any such piece of land within the bor-
ders of the United States. Brunson con-
tinues to squat and now defies the pow
ers that be to oust him He is bach
elor and is the sole resident of the island,
which contains about six acres. He has
a small ranch, where he raises garden
truck, ETC., and lives as independently
as any of the proud potentates of Europe.
At low tide Brunson can reach the
mainland along a low spit of sand, but
when the water comes in he is cut of
from all communication with the outside
world except by boat This minia-
ture kingdom is about 70 miles from
Olympia, at the intersection of Big
Skookum and Oyster bays. According
to Brunson's first understanding, his
kingdom was just over the line in Mason
county. 1t seems, however, that the
middle of the channel is counted as the
dividing line in the bays of Puget sound,
and by this Brunson's kingdom is in
Thurston county.
The question of taxation is now in DIS
pute. Brunson refused to pay his poll
tax to Mason county on the ground that
his island was not subject to any gov
ernment and that he was literally law
unto himself. This seems to be the gen.
orally accepted view of the case. Some
of his neighbors joked him about his
principality. and he remarked that he
chad good notion TO run up the British
flag and take possession in the name of
Queen Victoria" 1t has been suggested
that if he should sell whisky within the
borders of his kingdom he would soon
| find out who owned the island.
Since he pays no taxes his right to
vote is called in question. According to
latest accounts, Brunson was disposed to
favor Thurston county with his vote.
The case is quite interesting and has
provoked no little discussion among the
inhabitants of the sound.-Cor. San
Francisco Chronicle.

The New Hop Process.

A new process for drying and other
wise treating and preserving hops, corn,
tea, fruit, tobacco aud other vegetable
substances, Is under consideration in
England. The method takes the form
ofa portable cast or kiln, through which
the hops can be passed in the gar
den Immediately after they have been
picked. The process Is described as
follows by the Kentish (Eng.) Gazette:
The cast is constructed of light gal
vaDized iren, and connected Herewith
are three tanks aud an engine about ct
horse power. The machine Is capable
Of holding an equivalent to two cloths
In an ordinary oast, aud weighs about
two and one-half tons. Air is by a
compressor passed into a drying tank
and parched, or, so to speak, made
thirsty, II is then passed under pressure
TO another tank and stored. The third
tank contains cold dry air for cooling
down. There Is an opening aud closing
examining port for puttlngIn the hand
to ascertain when the hops are dry, and
a thermometer and pressure gauge.
Outside OF the oast aud at one end is an
iron staging which supports wagons
and rotating drums, into which the
hops are placed. They are then passed
into the cast and the doors closed. An
air exhaust pump removes the surplus
moisture and creates vacuum. The
warm dry air is then lei In, aud plays
through and round the hops. Thus
when the hot rarlfied atmosphere is let
In at suitable temperature and the
drying process begins, the warm dry
air pervading and going through the
vegetable matter to be dried, the moist.
ure therein passes out by the process of
evaporation until the degree Of moisture
becomes balanced and OF the same dem
slty In the entire oast as that In the hop
or other matter, and when Il haslreached
q state of equilibrium aud the dry air
becomes charged with the moisture, il
Is removed from the cast aud more air
let In, In a continuous flow, until the
drying process Is completed. Cold, dry
air IL then passed from refrIgerating
tank for the cooling down, the doors
are opened aud the wagons aud drums
withdrawn on TO the staging.
A bolt Is then pushed back and the
dry hops fall into trough, whence
they are passed ready weighed into the
pockets. Underneath the oast is pipe
connected with semi-ciroular perfor-
Ated box for the purpose OF bleaching
and fumlgating when necessary. The
,ntire process takes about twenty min
ltes where hops are under treatment,
md the cast thus does the work now
fiected by forty-eight cloths In twelve
Ianrs. Moreover, the process being so
ulekly and reliably done II Is stated
aat one pocket Of hops on the new
rlnclple is equal 20 four on the old, in-
,much as the bitterness and flavor are

Postponed Prudence.

"Come home to dinner" cried a
good housewife to her husband at
work in the field.

as have hid my hoe"
At dinner his wife demonstrated
with him for shouting so loudly
about hiding the hoe. Il am Ger
tam, said she, "the neighbors have
heard you, and some one has already
stolen it.
Struck with the remark, the man
returned TO the field, and sure enough
the hoe was gone. On returning TO

dom of his wife's previous caution.
he whispered in her ear;

AN OLD LETTER.

Here lies g single letter
Just dropped from-who knows where2
Some merchant to his debtor.
Stayl No the hand was fair
That penned the graceful writing
And pressed the crimson seal
Alas! Times touch so blighting
The faded lines reveal
Here tears have left their traces
In many wavering blurs;
KIND tears their course effaces
Those messages OF hers
Yet here and there a glimmer
OF quantity fashioned phrase
Evokes light from DINNER
And less harmonious gays
~She knows the skies above her
Are those same skies that hold
In guard her absent lover.
Where battle smoke Is rolled,
And so she trusts Gods guiding
We cannot read the rest
Behind the tear trace hiding.
And surely that is best.
warder Of old love glory,
Whose day was long ago,
What is thy hidden story
Profits us not to know.
Why should we thrust our fingers
Into thy guarded past7
Only the brown page fingers,
Tattered and frayed at last.
Let plying hands then place thee
Upon the glowing fire
Here let the flames embrace thee,
Here be thy funeral pyre-
Cold. careless eyes shall never
Over thy fragments run
Vanish from sight forever;
Go. for thy work is donel
