An Important NNtter.

Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the effort now being made to
devise method or way to prepare
the tidelands on the Bay for culti-
vatior. While the ultimate object
aimed at is the cultivation of the
sugar beet, it is not an absolute
necessity for this crop to be cult
waited in order to make it pay for
dyking it in. In fact tie land will
more than pay the cost of dyking
just in grass alone, and tits equally
benefited in any other crop to
which it might be cultivated. AS
the condition of the land is now, it
is not of material benefit to anyone.
1t simply represents large body
of the richest and most productive
land in the world going through a
process of yearly waste, because
of the lack of a dyke to keep it
from overhowing. This land pro-
duces nothing but tide hay, which
is but poor quality of grass and
hard to get at. AS far as being
productive of an income to the
owner, the average piece of tide
land is just the reverse. The land
would then earn an income to it;
owner above the taxes. But it is
said that it is costly and expensive
to dyke. This is true. But under
the proposition now being consider.
ed the parties will dyke the lane
and take their pay i'll land at
reasonable price per acre. This
brings it down to a question o
whether it is better for land owners
to have a body of land that is pro
ductive of nothing but taxes, or tC
be theownsr ola smaller body o
iaud tia IL tiishly productive ans
remuneratives This is the business
side Of It. We hope that every
tideland owner on the Bay will give
the matter careful study and joir
heartily into the plan. Should
this plan be carried to a successful
issue the next three years will wit
ness a change in the development
of the Bay that will astonish II:
all.

A decision in the case of
the steamer Willamette Valley
has been rendered by Judge
Morrow, of the United States dis
trictcourt. Patrick Gleeson, Jacob
Levi and r. D. Chandler libeled
the vessel for various amounts, and
Deputy Marshals Dean and Burns
we're placed in charge of her. The
vessel is owned by the Oregon
Pacific Railroad Company, and the
receiver Of that road claimed the
ship on the ground that the Cali
fornia creditors could make their
claims good only through the Ore
gon courts. Judge Morrow ruled
differently, so Marshals Dean and
Burns will remain in charge of the
Willamette Valley Until Gleeson,
Levi and Chandler are paid.

Number II.
Simplified Assessments.

The next legislature of Oregon
should simplify the making Of as
sessments, particularly upon real
property. The first step that
should be made is the creation of
precinct assessors. The next step
should be to require each county
clerk or county recorder, in counties
which have such Offices, to keep a
transfer record of all real estate
transfers made in his county, keep
ing these transfers in the smallest
known subdivision Of the land.
From this transfer record, which is
really an abstract book of the
county, let the clerk make up the
assessment roll of real property as
it appeared on a certain date. This
roll should be made up by descrip-
tion of property in its smallest sub
divisions, and the property assessed
to the description and not to the
owner. This system is in success
ful operation in many states, and it
has many good qualities to COM
mend it. In the first place it
would cut down the expenses Of
assessing tleast one-half. Seconds
it would avoid all the costly lux
uries OF present owner book ana
also prevent any property of what
ever description from escaping
assessment. The transfer record
would be kept by the clerk at no
extra expense to the county, the
fee for recording, paying for the
entering Of the same on the transfer
record.
Under this method when a man
come to pay his taxes he would
give the description Of his property
and the tax would be collected.
Should the tax go delinquent the
county has good plain description
to sell from. The assessor S books,
! nor bic clerk records are not then
cunbered with 1afsse number Of
names OF property owners, fhe list
of which might be correct on the
1st day of March and have dozen
errors in it on the end, with a con-
stantly increasing number crowd
ing OH.
The next legislature can add
more than one-ffth to the taxable
property of the state by embracing
the above system.

Kansas, Nebraska and the Dako-
tas are suffering the blighting effects
OF another drouth, and the poor
farmer of those states is going to
suffer untold hardships before an
other crop comes around. What a
wealth of energy and effort is vast
ed in the attempt to build up those
countries. How the unsettled parts
of Oregon would bloom and blossom
as a rose with one half Of the effort
that is swallowed up in the drouth
of those countries, eaten up by
their chinch bugs, or blown away
by their cyclones.

The committee of one hundred
in Portland to investigate
the tax business has made the fol-
lowing recommendation: "Your
committee would recommend that
the laws be so changed that real
estate and improvement shall be
assessed by lots and blocks or
acreage, as the case may be, and
not assessed by any particular
owner. This is now done in the
state of Washington and other
places, and it Is very evident that
it simplifes the making of an as
sessment very materially. In this
way the assessor need not know
the name of the owner Of any piece
Of property, and when the owner
comes to pay his taxes he simply
gives the description ofthe property
he wishes TO pay on"

A couple of Columbia river fish
ermen by the name of Fred Jack
son and Elias Nicholson had an ex-
perieuce last week that will stay
green in their memories for some
tine, and also illustrates the dan
gers that beset the fishermen on
that mighty river. Captain Winapt
Of the steamer Bandorille, when off
the mouth of the Columbia OH the
Goth inst, sighted a fishboat cap
sized and drifting with a couple of
fishermen clinging to it. The
steamer picked them tip, and as it
had the steamer Eva in tow it
could not easily make a landing
until Foulweather was reached,
when Captain Winant landed the
rescued fisherman at the lighthouse.
The fishermen had gotten too close
to the Columbia bar and their boat
had been capsized and drifted out
TO the ocean by the mighty current.
When picked up the men were
about exhausted, and could not
have held on much longer.

Friedman'S
conSignee Sale

Has revolutionized Astoria. II has
changed the prices of clothing that the
people begin to purchase at home and
don't go to Portland for them as before.
The merchants are now afraid that If
q railroad should come to town it would
bring more people here, and among
them there is liable to come men that
will engage in the clothing, hats and
dry goods business. Therefore it puts
them to the necessity of getting another
ordinance through so as to prohibit any
railroad company from bringing any
persons here that will sell clothing, dry
goods, and hats, and they will ask the
council to enact an ordinance TO pro-
hibit cars coming here with goods such
as they sell, and all railroad cars that
may hereafter bring here new goods
for each car load, and s40O for each pas
senger who intends locating in Astoria
and engaging in the clothing or dry
goods trade.
And be it further enacted, that the
city of Astoria be fenced in against all
intruders, such that would dare come
here and bring a nice stock Of clothing
or dry goods, and offer the same fer
sale here for less than the old mer-
chants who have kept their old stocks
