SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1876

The rumors OF war in Europe are
driving hordes of the most I'M
desirable classes Of southern
Europe to this country. Already
that immigration threatens to be-
come seriously troublesome to the
immigration commissioners OF
New York, who are fearful Of be-
ing overwhelmed with these tens
of thousands who will be no profit
able addition to our citizenship.
There is no room for surplus labor
here now. The addition ofianother
half a million months to fill this
year from the labor OF this country
is something to be seriously de-
precated, and should be guarded
against by every possible means.
Upon a strict Interpretation
of present immigration laws
and the passage of still more
stringent regulations, depends
the comfort Of our laboring
classes. There is not work
enough here for those already on
the ground, and 1t is the duty OF
government OF the people to see
that the American laborer is not
driven from his work and his
small wages lessened by the in
flux of low priced labor from
abroad. Congress is really doing
nothing now and might very prof.
tsbly take up this subject and dc
something really meritorious in
the way of legislation in the in
terests of American laborers.

going to resign, but unfortunately
it lacks confirmation. The resig-

left for him to do gracefully, and
If 1t was followed by his removal

dence there would be a strong
sentiment in favor Of forgiving
him.

Advertising Oregon.

The Oregon City Press says:
"The register, Col. R. A. Miller
has been receiving an unusually
large number of letters from per-
sons living throughout the east and
south inquiring about public lands
and the state in general. Hereto
fore such letters were only received
from people living in the middle
west, but it is thought that these
letters are the result OF advertising
bv the board of trade and the i'm
migration board. The land Office
officials could handle large quaint
ties of statistical matter from th'
different counties if it were gottel
up in pamphlet or book form

20 from Lincolu county is neat
little pamphlet of twenty-five pages
published by County Clerk Jones'
and issued from the LEADER office.
It contains much valuable matter
concerning the county and its re-
sources, and in the back is folded
a neat map of the county. The
expenses of this book is born by
Mr. tones. The issue is limited,
but it would pay the county to
have at least ten thousand OF these
books printed and distributed
throughout the east.
In this connection we might say
that Lincoln county IS under ooli-
cations to Col. Miller, the register
of the Oregon City land officer Tor
his efforts III behalf of the county
in the way of inducing settlers te
locate in this county, and we desire
TO express our thanks to him II

Garfield township, Seward county
Kansas, cast only two votes at the
recent election. One of the voters
cast straight republican ballot,
while the other voted the populist
ticket straight with the exception
of one county Office. Garfield town
ship has 20 inhabitants, eight OF
whom are voters. There are four
republicans and four populists. On
election day three of the populists
paired off with three republicans
and the six did not vote. The
other republican wished to pair off
with the remaining populist, but
the latter refused as he wished 10
vote for one republican candidate.
There was a tie on all township
. Offices, and the candidates had to
cast lots to determine who would
serve.

The State Tax Levy.

The state tax levy, to be made F
early in January, should be lower a
than that made last January. The
levy for 1896 was 4.S mills. When {
that levy was made, Secretary OF s
State Kincaid said there was high
year and a low year in making the
tax levy, and that the last one was
for the high year. The rate tor
1895, or the last low year, was 8
mills. Secretary Kincaid also said
year ago that he would not per-
NIT deficiencies to be run, unless 1t
was show to be absolutely necessary
to keep the machinery of govern
ment going. Based on these as
sertions, mills may be considered
the maximum limit of the next
state levy, assuming that the
assessed valuation of property IS
not materially lowered.
The aggregate valuation OF all
property, as equalized by the state
equalization board, last December
. was $153, ,o67,177. The exemptions
allowed amounted to $S,o2I,75I,
leaving the total taxable propert,
$1.aAAsA Ao6. The estimated
amount to be raised for 1896 wa
S7o6, ,731.4o. There was an avail
able surplus of sos ,s93.3S. Tn
amount, therefore, to be raised b
taxation was $6e3,33S.o4, and tn
. resulting rate As mills.

Il property, as equalized by the s'a'

ing to $9,141,o3 left the total ia
able property for that year SI5e

This shows an industry that
produces over $4,000 worth OF
manufactured product in the short
space of three months. The value
of the product this year was not up
to the full standard owing to the
fact that the run of salmon in the
Yaquina and siletz rivers was un-
usually light, and that the cannery
did not get into operation until
some time after the salmon season
opened. With an ordinary run oi
salmon and the clnneries running
during the entire open season
5000 pack would be nothing
unusual.

The Salmon Industry.

State Fish and Game Warden
Mcclure, has filed his biennial
statement with the secretary OF
state, for the years 1895 and 1890
The report is very interesting one'
dealing principally with the salmon
industry of the state. The report
shows that for the year 1896 there
were 45e, ,7S6 cases of salmon OF all
kinds packed on the Oregon side
of the Columbia river, valued at
$77S,ee2; and that the pack Tor the
bays and rivers, aside from the
Columbia, along the coast otOregon
for the year was 87,7oo cases
valued at $26S. $50. The total
pack for Oregon was 544,546 cases
valued at $1,o47,372. This was
. for salmon alone.

by order Of the British government,

Now, what can you do with a set Of laws
That are bound in the choicest calf
When the wicked prisoner pleads his cause

Discover the strongest action falls

And clinch 'em in every way,
And yet ! would ask of you, what is the use

My action in any court would lie,
A Jury would find for me,
But when | am court and jury Il

No code has terrors, and so, in short,
There's only one thing to do
I'll have to compromise out Of court
