ing apartments in the opera house

aged 10 years, has been residing, took
a dose of laudanum with suicidal
intent Thursday, shortly before noon,
Prompt medical aid was all that
saved the girls life. While the girl
discredits the statement that the
deadly drug was administered with
suicidal intent, the circumstances
surrounding the affair conclusively
indicate such intentions. The young
girl comes from a highly respected
family residing near Enger, this
county, and her youthful companion,
while an orphan, is from an estimable
family. One week ago last Sunday
the girl called at the Office of Chief
of Police Dilley and complained that
her paramour, Gunnison, had a num-
Der Of her rings which she wished to
recover but she refused TO prefer
complaint against the boy that his
arrest might be effected and the ar
ticles recovered.

County Court Makes an 'Otder Relative
To Action Of the State Bqualizers.
At today's session Of the Marion
county court, an important order was
made relative to the 10 per cent raise
made in the value Of town and city
lots and also the 30 per cent raise
ordered 10 merchandise and stock in
trade in Marion county.
The order is as follows:
"In the matter Of the extension OF
the raise Of the assessment on town
lots made by the State Baard Of equal
ization:
"Now on this day it appearing to
the court that on the 4th day Of jan
uary, 1898, this court made an order
directing the clerk of this court to ex-
tend on the assessment roll made for
Marion county, for the year 1897, the
raise made by the State Board of
Equalization of 10 per cent on the as
sessed value of town and city lots,
and that also at said time this court
made an order directing the clerk Of
this court to ignore the attempted
pretended raise made by State Board
Of Equalization Of thirty per cent on
merchandise, for the reason that the
action of the state State Board OF
Equalization with reference to the at
tempted raise of thirty per cent was
without Jurisdiction, and made with
ont reference to law and void. And
it appearing to this court that through
inadvertance, the clerk Of this court
failed to make the proper entry on the
journals of this court of said order so
made on the 4th day Of January, 1898.
''It is therefore hereby ordered that
the clerk of this court extend on the
assessment. roll of Marion county.
Oregon, for the year 1897, the ten per
cent raise of the state board of equal
izatiOn made on the assessable value
of town and city lots, but that the
said clerk ignore the attempted raise
of thirty per cent on merchandise.
at is further ordered that the
clerk OF this said court do now enter
this order as of the date of January
4th 1885,"

tor of the Independent, against the ac-
tion Of the county court in awarding

British Colony Extends an Invita-

The Governor, in his recent message
to the Legislative Council, intimates
that, under certain not very oppressive
conditions, he would favor the intro
duction OF Chinese coolies into FIJI, as
His EXcellency was of opinion that

the Governor is on the right track"
when he makes the suggestion that he
recognizes the desirability of encour-
aging John" to come to this country
TO till the soil and by his industry
make it give forth an increase. Once
the colony endorses the Governors
views, and we see no good reason why
it should not, steps should be taken
to make it known that the Monaghan
will be made welcome in this colony,
and, more especially so, if he comes
here in an agricultural capacity. With
the native population on the steady de-
cline, from causes which no one can
control, it would appear only the cor
rect system to pursue to encourage TO
these shores any race OF people VINO
are able and willing to render produc-
tive the large tracts Of land which sui
remain in their primeval state. For
the colony simply to fold its hands and
remain innate while the people are
gradually but surely wasting away,
without putting forth an effort to fill
ND the ranks, is surely not the correct
policy to follow If it were, the larg-
err portion of the landed estate in the
country would become worthless, as 1t
-, t6A To o.
its increase that they may be regarded
as a bona fide asset. AS matter OF
fact. the landed estate in this colony is
of far less value today than when the
population numbered $4,000 more.
Whether this decline in values can be
solely attributed to shrinkage Of popu-
lation, we will not stop to inquire.
ANYWAY. it is one of the causes.
Once it is known outside Fiji that
Chinese are welcome to settle here and
the colony can reasonably anticipate
that once the introduction is COM
menced a steady flow of these sons Oh
the Sun will set in, and the labor mar
ket of the colony will be relieved. IL
