THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAC

| The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
In the heart of the Sierras, almost at
| the foot of Mount Shasta and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible to the tourist. The eligibil-
| lty of the place selected was due to
rare combination of flowing water, in
| spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests.
| The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
| splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
a sumemr resort for health, recreation.
outdoor sports. sympathy with nature
and informal socia ability. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
! of invitation extended. the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial journalism, and to realize this orig
lnal conception, the management has
decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively family resort: and
especially attractive to those to whom
health, recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.
To this end rooms on the first and sec
| ond floors of this splendid taxern with
board will be furnished at a monthly
|
third floor with board at monthly
rate of $50 a person.
The accommodations OF the Tavern
are first class in every particular It's
parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
louS. Its VerandaS are cool and inyit-
ing, placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
balcony of any tavern in the world.
The opportunity for outdoor sports
embraces hunting, fishing riding. BIZ
cycling walking on mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads. The
Tavern is located Immediately on the
main trunk line of the California G.
Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
from Stockton, ten hours from Sacra-
mento, thirty hours from Los Angeles
and twenty-three hours from Portland
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time. The train leaves
San Francisco at o'clock D. M. arriv-
ing early the following morning for
breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning. the
train time affords equal accommoda
tion Thus both in going and in COM
ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy of his time have been
studied. In brief, the Tavern Of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
ideal of that spring time in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the COM
Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.

extend, and have been confined chiefly
to MaShOnaland and MatabeleIand,
which are separated from the Trans
vaal by the Limpopo River. 1t may be
explained that to enter the Transvaal,
as Dr. Jameson's expedition did, from
a point almost due west of Pretoria and
johannesburg, it was necessary that
the force under him should start from
the very southernmost corner of the
area within the Chartered Company's
jurisdiction. Buluwayo, the center of
the district in which the company has
recently been most actively engaged, is
almost due north of the Boer Capital;
while Mafeking. from which the ad-
venturers crossed the frontier. is due
west of the same point, and the dis
tance from Buluwayo to Mafeking is
at the shortest computation 600 miles.

Tom Moore and Mangan.

The poet is modified by circum-
stances and surroundings, and though
Mangan had few wants to provide
against, yet the claims of his family
and invalid brother proved sufficient
to force him to submit his neck to the
necessary yoke, and we accordingly
find him, in 1888, contributing his Won
derful translations from the German
to the Dublin University Magazine, ,"
to the fame of which periodical they
gave an added luster. Jeffrey of the
Edinburgh Review" writing to Tom
Moore few years earlier. said: Gould
you hunt me up a good, smart German
reviewer, do you think; one who knows
that literature thoroughly, without
thinking it necessary to rave about it,
and above all, who can write in con-
else, vigorous and striking style? If
he understood Russian and Polish, so
much the better. / want an account
of the vernacular productions of these
countries at the present day" Jeffrey
never got what he looked for, and so
this unknown and underlined field of
literary research lay falow, until Man
gan's wonderful abilities became known
to the editor of the Dublin University
Magazine" when he recognized that he
had Jeffrey's long sought "desideratum
hteratum" and the greatest poet in
Ireland besides. This man who had
struggled all his life against poverty
and ill-health. had somehow acquired
a thorough knowledge of many tongues,
both ancient and modern, together with
several recondite and abstruse branches
of learning, and among other things,
the fashionable, rational old German
philosophy of the time. SO this bril-
liant but erratic genius was set to work
translating, reviewing and explaining
the misty poets of Germany, which he
did in his own realistic way, bringing
his fine, discriminating taste to bear on
them in praise or blame, with unerring
judgment. For sixteen years he la
bored thus, somewhat intermittently
it is true. for he had the aggravating
habit of disappearing for weeks at a
time, when he would give himself Who'll
ly to his beloved opium and to the WOO
ing of his own particular muse. AT
such times would the patient editor
have to start out in search of him, or
luckily waylay him ''in the devious
turnings" of some lane, and compel a
scrutiny of the hat for the furnishing
forth of the monthly installment.-J. j.

UNEQUAL ASSESSMENTS.

Sussex county seems to be agita-
ting the subject of inequality in
valuations, and the drift is that
town property is not valued in pro-
portion with farms. In other words
that the farmer pays more than his
fair share of taxes. We do not know
the method adopted over there in
farm valuation, but if it in any wise
resembles ours, there is just cause
of complaint and q need Of careful
revision as to that class of property
likewise. We have said before that
taxation to be fair should bear on
every person in precise proportion to
the cash value of his property. That
is likewise the intention of the law.
This end cannot be attained by the
system in vogue in this county of
applying Ethe same valuation, or
practically so, to lands as a class,
taking in all "hill" improved, and
also all river fats, and placing the
same valuation on them by those
two classifcations. So in towns.
Dwellings and business places which
may have cost the same to erect are
by no means of the same value, ow-
ing to their more or less desirable
or advantageous location or for the
purposes designed. 1t is the duty
of every taxpayer to aid in having a
proper fair, just, and lawful as
sessment made so that the burden
may be distributed in equal and ex-
act proportion on the tax payers in
the whole county.

BUYING BY THE QUANTITY.

1t is at least an open question
whether it be really economical, as
has long been contended, to buy
supplies in wholesale quantities. thus
obtaining the benefit of wholesale
prices. Those who live in apart
ments whore there can be no store
room have often found, to their sur
prise, that the grocery bills at the
years end were no larger than when
they did not buy from hand to-
mouth, as it were. The reason for
this is that human nature seems so
constituted that it is practically i'm
possible for one to be so careful of a
profusion as of little. It would
appear that receipt would be fol-
lowed, in any event, and that
enough of every ingredient would
have to be used to secure success.
Yet it is true that any commodity
bought in abundance Z" goes faster '
than when less lavishly provided.
This is true, even when the mistress
herself is the user. 1t is therefore
not at all unnatural that it should
be true of the maid as we'll New

AS for ourselves we cannot fully
agree with the above 1t is too

pie for saving your money for you

Terry, q noted farmer and agricul
tural writer of Ohio, is an enthusi-
asst on buying at wholesale, and he
has convinced us that he is about
right on the subject. Buying by
the quantity should also discour-

PEOPLE who have any doubt about
the return of business prosperity
will probably be interested in the
figures on bank clearances, which
are of course the most accurate
business barometer that can possi-
bly, be produced. The reports from
the great financial centers show that
the clearances for the week ending
September 1s are larger than at any
time since the closing months of
the Harrison administration, are
fifty per cent, greater than those of
one year ago, and seventy-five per
cent greater than those of two years
ago.

A CONVENTION OF ASSESSORS

A CONVENTION OF ASSESSORS.
If the assessors wish to do their
duty in the coming assessment, it
would be proper to have meeting
and have all the facts and figures of
the present rating of values, if such
it can be called, placed before them
for inspection and consideration.
They could then arrive at a just
conclusion as to relative values, and
by discussion and comparison ad-
just valuations in different sections,
50 that no advantages would be
taken, and each locality could be
impartially considered. The Com
missioners in the interests of the
general good to result and the well
fare of the taxpayers which might
arise from such a convention might
possibly be induced to allow pay for
such a meeting.
