Ha. ha. ha! That truly ls a "corker. y

OF the Wilson bill, etc." the hens have
forced their product to market before the

natural distributing point for the entire

territory lying between it and the Olym.

and now is the time to lay the foundation
for the futue. The free excursions are a
good beginning; by making it easy for
the people to reach this market they are
almost sure to come and do their trading.
The experience of the past few weeks
have demonstrated this; people coming
in crowds from the surrounding towns.
In somewhat the same way must trade
be attracted from the territory to the
north OF us; the city must be made easy
OF access by the completion OF the road to
the forks OF the river. so that the settlers
can drive in and not be compelled to 60
twice the distance by water, and then
wheel their truck around on wheelbar-
row after they get here. From the forks
it is but short distance to the broad and

HOW MUCH DO WE PAY?

When the taxpayers discovered that
they were paying over one hundred
thousand dollars per annum to run this
county they jumped pell nell upon the
assessor and commissioners bnt when
they discovered that hundred thousand
dollars they overlooked more than as
much more which they are also paying.
The facts are the people OF this county
are paying in one way or another more
than two hundred thousand dollars Of
taxes this year. There is hardly tax.
payer but what is paying either a special
school or road tax, and these added to
the 1927, 1928 county levy, $27 ,0l4 for
state purposes, and the municipal taxes
OF the various towns OF the county will
run the total close up to quarter OF a
million dollars.
Are the assessor and commissioners the
only ones to blame? Nearly $4,000 Of
this is to pay interest on county and mu-
nicipal indebtedness, incurred largely
during the boom times by real estate
spectators who went up and down with
petitions for fool Improvements whereby
they might sell waste land at fabulous
prices for town lots, and then by means
Of trivial tecncalities evaded payment
and saddled the debt on the community,
and some of these men are today asking
support from the community.
But that the taxpayers may be aided
in their efforts, and may have a better
idea as to what the assessor ought to dc
for his part in order to make our portion
OF the state tax more equitable as COM
pared with other counties, we have re-
duced the apportonment OF several OF
them, especially those adjacent or SINH
lar as to town population, to per capita
basis. While OF course population does
not form basis for an accurate estimate
OF values, yet in ordinary communities in
the same state it is pretty fair basis.
The table is as follows:

William Ewart Gladstone has at last
been compelled to yield to nature, and
by reason of failing physical powers to
resign the premiership Of England. He
will probably retain place in the cabi-
net. Lord Roseberry has been rendered
the position, upon Gladstone's recon-.
mendation, and has accepted. He is a
man Of firnness, tact and foresightedness,
and has the confidence OF the liberals and
Parnellites, and is especially acceptable
to Scotland, which claims sort of right
to the premiership.
