property of Columbia county. The raw,
unimporved land of the entire county
mas been assessed at 50 per acre. Per-
maps this is not too much for the rich
unimElroved prairie or tide lands along
the Columbia river, but for raw, unim-
proved lands on the mountain sides, or
even In the Nehalem valley Is too much.
In many instances mere than the land
would SEA for. There are quarter-sec-
tlons of land in the Neha.em mountains
that can not yelld their owners enough
to pay the tax If the land Is assessed at
this figure. The matter was brought he
fore the county board of equalization,
and has been referred to an adjourned
term of the commissioners court to be
held Tuesday, Sept. "a. The gentleman
who did the assessing in this precinct
made no deduction for homesteads ex-
emption where the deduction should
have been made against money, notes
and accounts. Money, notes and ac-
counts are plainly personal property ana
the deduction should have been made
without question. 1t is this eternal dis
elimination against the Nehaem valley
settlers that viii some day cause a rup-
ture in the county, which can only be
cured by the removal of the cause.-the
county seat from the Columbia river to a
more central point.-Plttsburgh Sentinel.

WHAT is A DAYS FLOWING.
Baltimore American.

Baltimore American
While cutting a furrow inches wide
the plowman walks just about II miles
| While he is turning over an acre-that
! is, without reckoning the journey from
the stable to the field and back again.
| 1t Is one of the advantages of long fields
| that the time occupied in turning at the
ends is so much less than on shorter
| stretches and smaller fields. In plowing
an acre 952 yards long, cutting a 0-inch
| furrow, the man goes twenty-seven and
half times round, and turns on the
| headland fifty-five times. If we allow
one minute for turning the time thus oc-
cupied is equal to fifty-fve minutes or
say and hours work-the hardest of the
day, too. This would be in a paddock
of field of average length, being 16 chains
long. Whenfa field is chains-179 yards
long, the number of turnings Is doubled,
and the amount of hard work and time
absorbed in one hour and fifty minutes
In fed 81 chains long lit yards)-
not unusual length-the plowman turns
lS5 times in order to cut through an acre
with a 9-inch furrow, and allowing a
minute for each turning, two and three
quarter hours are occupied in that oper-
alton.
The pow space to do good, steady work
varies from one and half to two miles
per hour. Applying these figures to the
eleven miles walked in plowing an acre,
at the rate of one and a ha.f miles an
hour, takes seven and one-eignth hours.
With 10-inch furrow there is one mile
less of walking, which may be computed
as half an hour to three-quartens, accord
ing to the estimate of travelling pace.
With 1O-nch furrow on light land,
wrere the burrows are 352 yards long.
from six to seven hours are occupied per
acre, at the ordinary pace of two miles
per hour. Thus, in short fields a great
amount of extra work becomes necessary
and time is lost in turning So an acre
may require eight or nine hours p.owiug.
Plows cutting a double furrow or three
or four more burrows at the same time
may be estimated on the same lines.

TRADE MISREPRESENTATION

Evidently Germany is more fully awake
to the dangers of the department stores
than the United States, and from ad-
vices received at Washington, they are
about to pass Jaw that will in a great
measure do away with many of the worst
evils of the system. The bill to be in
troduced in the Reichstag contains two
sections and will be of particular in
terest to the people of this country.
These are intended to prohibit misrepre-
sentation in published announcements
made by dealers, whether these an
nouncements are circulated among the
columns of newspapers or any other
form.
The publication of misstatements as to
the character of the goods, the source
from which they have been derived the
quantity, or the reason for selling may
be prohibited by injunction, to be ap-
pied for by any engaged in the same
business who suffers or who may suffer
injury from these false statements: and
the publication of an incorrect state
ment concerning the possession of dip
Tomas awarded is also prohibited. Not
only may these misstatcments be stopped
by Injunction but the person making
them may be prosecuted at the instance
prisoned Moreover, If it can be proved
that the dishonest merchant was aware
of the fa.sity of the statements he was
making, his rival or rivals may recover
damages from him.
The bill is also aimed at another class
of dea,ers-those that conduct the fraud
u.ent 'auction" and fire" sales, which
have wrought so much injury to the
legitimate trade of this county, Another
provision of the bill is to prevent en-
ployes making use of, for their own ad-
vancement or betraying to others the
trade secrets of their firm. There are
many obnoxious sections of the bill and
for that reason it's defeat is anticipated;
but some law to cover its best features
will probably be introduced and the
United States congress may find 1t a
basis on which to found, in the future
similar and needed legislation.

Washington has taken great interest In
this new currant, and the agricultural re-
port of 1889 says of 1t: 1T is an enormous
bearer. the fruit being large fully one
half inch in diameter. In quality, raw,
1t is superior to any Of the European
black currants, having no strong odor
nor unpleasant taste. 1t is well adapted
to sauces, pies, jellies, etc. 1t is never
attacked by currant worms nor other
insects, and is perfectly hardy"
This is strong Endorsement, but as II
has since become more commonly culti-
waited, 1t proves to merit all that has
been said in it's praise The fruit be-
gins to ripen late in July, and continues
throughout the month of August.

A millionaire must be allowed to have
some amusements, and if ne Is disposed
to amuse himself in ways that would not
be at all amusing to the big public made
UP of men who are not millionaires, he
must certainly be accorded the privilege.
One of Chicago's greatest stockmen and
packers was onee a dealer in junk, and
it is said that he even went about gath
ering old iron himself. Now he is re-
puted to be worth 5000, 900, and rumor
says that he has his property in such
shape that he could, II he chose raise
larger sum in cash than any other man
in Chicago.
Each morning the milionaire's man
comes into his office with bundle OF
c'ean pine sticks, which he places in a
corner not far from the mi.Honaire's desk
When the millionaire has read his morn
ing mail and business men come ia to
see him he takes one of the sticks and
with a big o.dIfashioned jack-llnife whit
ties it into bits, the shawn gs falling to
the floor. Sometimes he walks up and
down-he walks much-and whittles. BY
the time business is done for the day
his office looks ike a carpenter shop
and the bundle of pine sticks has van
ished The harder the business problem
he has to meet the harder he whittles
And that is the way he amuses himself.

THE TREE cURRANT.
Philadelnhia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
For several years past only the red
currants OF early summer have been con-
sidered of special va.uc for marketing
and for general use. The black currants
were grown more as decorative plants
among the hardy shrubbery and were
valued only for their deliclousy fra
grant blossoms. The fruit OF these
bushes, though black, fine looking, and
often quite large, in nearly every case
was found to be quite bitter or insipid.
In 1889 a new variety of back currants
called the Crandall curraut, began to
attract general attention among the fruit
growers, although it is only recently that
it has become widely known and grown.
1t Is a common thing to see 1t in our
markets now however. making its APP
pearance after the early red currants
have finished bearing.

that there Is a splendid market for Ore

can be shipped there from here, and that
even with the enormous freight rate of

his hay. Good for Mr.. Blevins The
Southern Pacific could do big thing for
oregon farmers by giving them a freight
rate justified by the circumstances. Its
line runs directly into New Orleans, and
1t Is simply ridiculous to charge $12 or

THE SEASON OF LENT.

Regulations For Its Observance by
 Members Of the Catholic Church.
 The following are interesting portions of the lenten regulations issued by Bishop Tierney.
 All the week days of lent are fasting days of obligation on one meal only; cus- tom, however, has authorized the use of a slight collation. in the evening, a cup ot tea or coffee, etc, in the morning. Though the fast also implies abstinence, yet by dispensation the use of fiesh meat is all lowed at all times on Sundays, and at the principal meal on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, except the sec ond and last Saturday ot lent.
 A long established custom has tolerated the use of eggs, butter and cheese at the collation.. provided the laws of quantity be observed.
 Besides lard, the fat rendered from any kind of meat may be used on any day in lent, and this dispensation is extended 10 the days of abstinence and fast days throughout the year.
 Flesh and fish are not allowed at the same meal, even on Sundays.
 Women pregnant or nursing, the sick |. the aged and feeble, children under twenty one years of age and those whose employ ment is of laborious or exhausting char acter, are excused from the obligation of fasting and may use flesh meat more than once on the days when il is allowed. but must abstain on Wednesdays, Fridays and the second and last Saturdays, except in case of sickness or the like.
