japan has an income tax. II tax
payer protests that he is rated too high
by the officials he Is thrust into dark
room and told 20 think 1t over careful
ly." Sometimes man stays there "a

The latest official estimate Of the pop
nlation OF the United States IL II ,000, ,068.

The report that the sub.editor Of this
paper was contemplating trip TO the
Clondyke mining region, is false. We
have no notion Of trying out lack in a
country where a mans chances OF be-
coming millionaire IL half disappoint-
ment and the other half dog meat. No
thank you, we don't care for any. We
had rather stay at home and WELD the
editorial pen and let the other fellow try
lit.
For once, the Journal Is benefited by
being week behind. After the GLOBE
was printed last week one Of our attorn-
eys discovered that he~had summons
to publish, and could only do so legally
by having IL commenced with the issue
OF Aug. 6th--and the Journal being a
week behind, OF course, got the job
which will prove God-send 10 II, since
about all the other ads in that paper are
dead, and run in only TO fill up space.
Talk about your cyclones, Kansas amt
in il with Oregon this summer. Last
Friady afternoon about 4 80 o'clock the
wind blew living gale in Condor; and
everything that was movable WAS seen
flying through the air at rapid rate Of
speed. IL Is said that the wind lifted
the mortgage of of farm north OF town
and had not been found up TO the time
Of going To press, neither has the GLoBg's
bulletin board, which the wind also lifted
from its moorings--and IL wasn't much
of day for wind, either.

The readers Of this paper must nc
. expect too much from an editor who
0 handicapped by deafness and dyspepesi
and one who has never before held dow
a the editorial chair. Although we hav
a served our time at the cases, we hav
never before made an attempt to ed
+ a paper. We are justly proud however
!. to know that the boss editor has place
confidence in our ability to manage hi
business for the while he is absent, an
we will try TO do the best we can. Th
citizens OF Condor, God bless them, the
i will all do what they can to help us on
