Artist de Conte Is dead in San Francis

an artist and the soul % a gentleman were
both his familiars. Il is not wise TO i've

You were very foolish, De Conte- You
might have clustered and bragsed. you

There are nediocres tn art and hterature

You might have hired ciaQners and
tiekled the vanity OF parvenus and been

But by the living God you were man.

Value of Land.

(nlcag0 RECORD.
The most expensive piece OF business
property ever sold in New York for Its
size WAS the former site OF the Herald
building. at the corner OF Broadway and
Ann street. which was purchased from
james Gordon Bennett by Mr.. Havemeyer
for 81, lSa.so. Being Texso in size. the total
area Is $500 feet, which makes the price
about US square foot. or $1,000 front
foot on Broadway. Mr.. Havemeyer has
erected twenty-three-story building up
on this site. which was necessary in order
to procure any kind of dividend on his in
vestment. The excessive price Of business
property nowadays Is making high build
tnss necessary.
In London land is nearly twice as high
as in New York in corresponding iocali-
ties, particularly down in the city. Not
long ago the Middlesex bank paid f500. 600

for ooi used In the experiments OF last

the mayor and council should visit the

the process is odorless.
An ordinance has just been passed for
the protection OF bicycle paths 1t pro-
vides tha, 1t shall be unlawful to ride or
drive any animal or any vehicle on any
bicycle path, except at crossings. and
exempss stock driven necessarily but no.

Tying loads Of more than i've tons must

Guilty with street contractors who have
pleaded for a remission OF the prescribed
penalty OF s. a day. The weather is the
most usual excuse, rain stopping the
work. but this has almost led TO an III
variable custom of RENTING the penalty
whenever asked for. /. has been prac-
ticaily decided only TO remit on account
of bad weather. and modified penalty
of one-sourth has been imposed in all
other cases. with the insimation that no
further ieniency viii be extended.

The annual sum raised by taxation in
Multnomah county is s, $4,000. almost as
high as IN boom times. and the Oregonian
complains that every effort to reduce the
amount has failed. The levy for King
county is about the same. but with this
very material difference. that delin-
quency in the past few years has been
enormous. For instance, UP to June S,.
1885. the delinquency on the 1885 levy
alone was ss1s.2 .6s. yet the county has
been kept on a cash basis through the
drastic measures OF economy applied by
the county and city government. but
especially the latter. Had the taxes been
paid with normal punctuality, the levy
would be much less than in Multnomah
county.
Another thing in favor of King county
and the city OF Seattle is that all their
great and expensive improvements have
been made within a very short period,
whereas Muitnomah Is an old established
county which has gradually made its i'm
provemen,s, and thus kept the interest
account down. Our school levies for 1895.
colIectable last year, amounted TO SioS. 60S,
or nearly one-third of the entire cost Of
running the whole system of government,
including the countys proportion OF the
state fund.
