WOOls.

Mills in 1880 required 100000
pounds of carpet wool, which is not
raised in this country. They imported
80 per cent and added per cent of the
domestic shoddy, on which they had to
pay from 3 to 6 cents revenue duty on
the wool they used, and they were
given Compensatory duty" Of
twelve to seventy cents per square yard
Then to unite their interests with the
others, they were given protective
duty" for themselves of 35 to so per cent
to pay the difference in wages. To col
lect both duties or either duty they had
to form trust and agree ON selling
price. Without this trust they could not
collect even l per cent Of the tax they

A building Blown to Pieces.

: Shortly after midnight Tuesday build.
ing on the corner Of Fifth and Spring
streets in Los Angeles, was completely
blown up, leaving scarcely one brick
upon another. The building was owned
by DR.. G.. f. Mehn, who occupied it as a
jew elry store. There was in it a cigar
store and also q restaurant. An alarm Of
fire was promptly turned in and re-
sponded to quickly but when the firemen
reached the scene they found merely a
confused mass of smoldering and splint-
cred timbers, pieces of shattered glass
and piles of brick extending from side
walk to sidewalk. Mrs. X. Schlezer,
proprietress of the Peoples restaurant,
was asleep in the rear Of the building,
but escaped unframed. 1t is thought
the building was otherwise unoccupied
at the time. Spring street for half a
block was Uttered up by fragments. A
butcher shop on the corner and the
Golden Rule Produce Company's store
on the other side of the wrecked building
suffered severely, the front windows be-
ing blown in. The cause Of the explo.
sion cannot yet be ascertained, but OF
the various theories advanced, that of al

plosive kept in stock is most generally
accepted. The damage is estimated al

The necessity for economizing In the
matter Of taxation is forcing itself upon
the minds Of taxpayers generally, and
the call Of the meeting for today is a
move In the right direction. For several
years past Clatsop county property
owners, and especially those owning
land which brings in no income, but
which has been held In the so far vain
hope that 1t would soon have a high
speculative value, have been paying
taxes which have been out of all pro,
portion to the light burdens borne by
property owners in other parts OF the
state. The result has been that the
delinquent tax lists of both the county
and municipality have become formida-
BILE. BY all means cut the levy down
so that just enough money can be
raised to defray only such expenses as
are an absolute necessity. In the event
Of a railroad stir. the prospects for
which are now brighter than ever, the
redemption of all property sold for
taxes will quickly be the means of
pouring considerable money into the
Golfers of both the city and county
treasures.
