THOSE UNEQUALIZERS.

The state board of so.ealle equalizers
adjourned last night. Before adjourn
ment d. p. Thompson of Portland in
troduced resolution TO abolish the
board and have the governor, secretary
OF state and tate treasurer act as board
OF equaiization-to equalize tie assess
ments of the counties for state purposes
only. This was defeated, Mr. Thomp-
sons being the only vote to support the
resolution.
At the beginning of the session the
salaries OF the secretary and clerk were
fxed at 80 per day each, and that al the
messenger at 81 80 per day, and, at that
rate, the cost for the work would have
been $405, whereas, under the salary
resolution passed Ey the board Tuesday.
the cost for the clerical aid is $67S 81, or
$243.3T more than was agreed upon at
the time the session opened. which is
fair sample OF the calibre OF the unpopu-
lar concern.

How He Viewed Oregon.

A man who visited Oregon during the
summer has written back to q friend in
the following very interesting manner:
Ever since was a boy have read OF
Oregon as wet country, and that the
people were web-iooted so they could
walk on top of the mud like geese and
that the boys had to get the girls on dry
lau l before they could catch them, and
to thins that found it as you might say.
without a drop II rain for six months is
beyond my comprehension bs sides
think the country is badly railroad bound
and there Is no possible show for relief in
any reasonable time. II you should raise
dozen hogs and ship them to market.
the railroad would get four cts. pound
and you two. The same way with fruit
also, green or dry, they will get the lion g
share, while the producer gets next -
nothing The only chance you have OF
relief from the great Southern Pacific oc-
topus is by an east and west road to the
coast, built by an independent company
of gentlemen not hogs, who will allow the
people living for their labor.

A DESERTER
Captured on the Eve of His We'd
ding.

William Gould came to Albany about
two months ago from the north. Though
an entire stranger he became acquainted
with Miss Fannie Miller early and it
was only short time before they were
engaged to be married. Miss Miller's
father being satisfied Gould was not the
proper young man for son-in-law OBJ
jected very emphatically to the marriage; /;
but they were bound to get married, and
Gould told the DKMoCaAr man several
days ago that he would marry her any
way, and the event was to come off to-
morrow, we are informed. But it will
be postponed indefinitely. A little over
two montes ago Gould deserted from the
barracks at Vancouver. Chief of Police
Lee discovered the fact that he was the
man wanted there for desertion, and this
morning arrested him and placed him in
the county Jail. Maj. Wilson was noti-
fed and will send a detachment after
him. Gould admitted to Chief of Police
Lee that he was the man wanted. and
said he had been afraid he would be dis
covered.
