PRonARLY A TgsT BIIL--Judge W. s.
Croweil, who was in Ashland Tuesday,
SAYS that the county anticipates the COM
mencement of le al proceedings at any
time now, on the rart of the railroad
company, 10 bring the railroad tax Ques-
ton before the courts ioi adjudication.
The county has already accepted taxes
from the company as follows: On rail
road roadbed at the rate Of $500 per
mile, on railroad lands at the rSts Of Sc
cents per acre and on rolling stock and
depot grounds in full. The roaibed as'
sessment was returned at $4,000 pei
mile and the railroad lands at little
over 81 per acre. so that there is taxes
on balance of $500 valuation per mile
on roadbed and 79c per acre or more or
lands due according to the assessment
and to resist the payment of this it is ex
pected by the county officials that th'
company will at once take the question
into the courts-Tidings.

FRIDAY
Looking Toward Oregon
From the Tele.ram :

From the telegram
Secretary L @ Masten, OF the Ore.
gon state board ofimmigretion, has come
to the conclusion that times must be
much harder in the east than in the
west. He bases this conclusion upon the
tenor OF the letters he is daily in receipt
OF from people in all parts OF the east and
south asking for information concerning
the state of Oregon. The writers have
become dissatisfied with their lot and
are anxious to turn their feet toward
wider fields and greener pastures. Many
OF them have considerable means, and
will be able to make satisfactory start
upon their arrival here should they con-
clude to make this state their future
home. That many will come TO Oregon
within the next year Is evidenced by the
fact that the writers do not stop with
one letter. They send series after series
OF questions, indicating that they have
definite purpose in view.
Secretary Masten feels confident tha;
this state win be materially benefited
b. the immigration that has already be-
gun,

was named, turned out 10 be valuable
property, and the uncle sold it Tor si0,-
GOO which he remitted to his niece.
Miss Fleming. who is about twenty
years OF age, is employed in Miss Salx-

A HoBo BAND HkRK-A novelty In
the hobo line visited this city today in
the way OF q hobo band composer oil
seven pieces. The members OF the band
are Germans and were clad in blue caps,
ordinarily sack coats aud blue trousers
They travel from town TO town giving
open air concerts on the street corner.
aud begging from house to house. They
also imbibed quite freely OF beer while in
the city Eugene Guard.
This band struck Albany early this
morning and at once began business, ,giv.
ing our citizens some excellent music for
what they were willing to put in the hat,
playing from block to block. This is 9
nea way but il is certainly more legiti.
mate than the professional tramp system
This band left Bavaria with q men or
trip around the world. Gradually il
depleted in number until only seven ars
left. They re all fine musicians, and
are in nowise hobos, though they have
come to be known as the hobo band.
