No provision was made by the board Of
supervisors in the tax levy of last year for
sinking fund to pay the county bonds ma
turing soon. It will be remembered that
the scheme of Field, woodward and COM
pany to refund these bonds failed, and thus
the scheme to avoid this payment failed.
They did not fool the people; but they were
badly fooled themselves. They had in
tended to refund these bonds, thereby ex-
tending the time Of payment, and thus
leave themselves free to maintain the tax
rate on a level and at the same time have a
big wad of surplus money for expendi-
ture; but they were fooled. and are now II.

or the bonds maturing will not

An Expensive Lesson

for Justice Owens gave him lesson on this

of pants from North Main street clothing

been from the store Of b. w. Lubin, at 116
and 11s North Main street. He went inside
and claimed that the proprietor was retain
ing the trousers, and when Mr.. Lubin natu-
rally denied ever having had any dealings
with him, Mason assaulted the clothing
dealer. Mr.. Lubin was exonerated by the
court, as he had been the victim Of Mason's
drunken error, while Mason was fined $50 for

Hon Abbot Kinney, Of this city, is still
candidate from Democratic standpoint
for the United States senatorship. His
friends are making quite an active fight in
his behalf. Judging from reports which
were brought back from the north. Mr..
Kinney stands tolerably well in that part
of the state where It would be expected to
find the hottest opposition. Thus far Mr.
Kinney has a clear field in this part of the

Grant IL a nice fellow, and Bulla wants
the senatorship-and so Bulla unwittingly
said something about his genealogy and
the climate at San Diego, and stumbled
along the best he could under the circum-
stances, and finally quit towards the end
of the meeting.
It has also passed out Of mind whether
Gage was present or not. but there has
been so much talk about an alliance be-
tween Grant and Gage that the latter must

whole was so quietly disposed Of that 1t
now looks like 4 trick ON the part OF

DECLINE OF THE DUsTER.
The Disappearance of a Garment
That Was Once Familiar.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
A traveller by rail cannot fail to notice
the decline of the buster. And one does
NOT need to be, as the man said, cente-
marian to observe this.
In fact only thirty or forty years ago
busters were commonly worn by railroad
travellers They were coeXistent with
carpet sack and the alligator mouthed
valise, both now more completely passed
away than the buster itself, and almost
as completely gone as the hair covered
trunk.
The buster in its original form was built
of brown linen, which, when starched,
stood boldly out like garment Of thin
and flexible but not too flexible, sheet
metal 1t was worn, of course, 10 protect
the wearer and his garments from the
dust. When the linen buster flourished
locomotives burned wood, the tracks were
sand ballasted, sails were light, cars
were not vestibuled or provided with dust
screens for the windows, and the time re-
uuired to cover a given distance was far
greater than now. A buster was far more
needed than now and it was likely to be
a part of the equipment of the casual as
well as the regular traveller. Indeed, It
NAV he said that the casual traveller would
scarcely have thought that he had made
a trip bv rail unless he had provided HIM
self with that indispensable part of every
travellers equipment.
Prim and stiff and sheet irony in effect
as the firstly -ironed linen buster was
when first put on, it presented very
different appearance when it had been
worn for a time. At first, sat down in
on a dav. such as was then called sticky
or muddy. but which in these fashionable
modern DAYS called humid, the buster
was creased with many creases that SEEM
ed later. despite the weather, to be frozen
in. And these creases, in appearance like
ACCORDION pleats struck by lightning,
shortened the garment somewhat. They
took it up, and made it bigger around
and more bunchy.
wear when the starch was all gone out
of it, and the buster became stringy. And
if before il had seemed to shorten up and
grow stout, It now seems to become lean
and attenuated; to take into itself many
little rolling longitudinal wrinkles, to sort
of shrink In on itself sidewise, and to
draw over engthwlse; and by this time
II had probably come TO hang unevenly.
so that the front corners had a dip and
were lower than the back of the coat. In
its first estate the linen buster was, if not
a garment Of dignity, one that had an eff
feet of preciseness but in its last was
very far from that In fact 1t is doubt
full if n person of even the most imagina-
tive temperament could conjure up any
thing more negllgee in its general effect
than stringy linen buster.
But the linen duster was not the only
one. There were busters of alpaca and Of
mohair and of other materials, some of
them black and some of them gray; big
flowing comfortabed listers which. IL
not beautiful, had at least the grace that
all things made of good materials possess.
You could almost tell man. without see
ing his face, BY the duster that he wore.

SKATER A DEAD SHOT.
An Interesting story of the Com

From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
It may not be generally known that in
addition to his other accomplishments
Mai. Gen. Shafter is a dead shot. Years
ago. when he was stationed on the Mex
lean frontier, and when he was known
to his intimates as "Pecos Bill" his won
derful marksmanship was the talk of the
border. Nor has he fallen off much since.
Col. Thomas H. Party tells a good story
about Shafter.
IT was Skaters aid years ago when we
were both bronzing under the hottest sun
that shines in these states" he remarked
to a San Francisco Chronicle reporter.
"Shafter was known as the best shot not
only in his regiment, but in the whole
country about one day an officer from
another regiment not acquainted with
Skaters ability In this line visited the
post and soon made 1t apparent to us that
he esteemed himself about as expert a
marksman as ever pulled a trigger. We
secretly laughed at his opinion of himself
and whispered TO each other, Just wait
till "Pecos BIZ" gets after him
"Well, his time came. one morning

miles or more to another post and the
visitor asked to be allowed to accompany

Recently every week or two sad
news is received here of the death at
Manila of one of Oregon's most
promising young men, who soreadily
answered the presidents call for
troops al the outbreak of the war
with Spain. Nine out of every ten
young men volunteering their SER
vices in Portland not only were am
bilious and of good character, but
they relinquished good business posi-
tions. They made these sacrifices to
do actual batLle, and not to be gar
+ isoned In q malaria-stricken Oriental
town, to die like sheep or suffer per-
petual impairment of health. The
class of Portland volunteers we refer
to mostly are under 25 years old,
with good prospects in life we're they
at home, AMI 1t is the basest kind of
ingratitude on the part of the war de-
partment not to furlough them dur
ing the reriod of comparative peace.
1t would not be difficult to replace
them with more seasoned men, who
could better endure the climatic
strain than those striplings. The un-
necessary hardships to which these
and other youths of the better class
have been subjected by the war de-
partment, may in the future make it
more difficult for the country to get
the flower of the nation to "rally
round the flag" so enthusiastically as
it did last spring. The implied snub

PRAcTIcA6 TEST oFFRIENDSHIl

A crisis is at hand in the Anglo
American conference. Our neigh
bors on the other side of the lakes
and the st. Lawrence might prefer
that we should say the conference be-
tween the Canadian and the United
States commissioners; but, after all,
the Dominion of Canada is but a
British colony. 1t is the voice of
Britain, not of Canada, that is to de-
eide whether the proceedings of the
conference, that has adjourned from
Quebec to Washington, are to end in
further vanity and vexation of spirit
or in series of mutual concessions.
In fact, we are about to learn whether
that figure of sweetness and light"
which of late has been projected so
frequently On the canvas of inter-
national politics, really is the refec-
ticn of sturdy friend or is the mere
shadow of a shade.
Ii the conference fails Britain
must not be allowed to lay the blame
of failure upon canadian obstinacy,"
for Britain is the master and owner
of Canada, which has part in the
conference only by courtesy. 1t is
for Britain, not for Canada, to ex-
press willingness or unwillingness to
relinqulsh the inequitable treaty that
denies us the right OF suitable war
navy on the lakes, and that prohibits
the construction of gunboaIs or other
armed vessels in any lake port, even
though the ocean be their ultimate
destination. It is Britain, not Canada,
that is responsible for the i'll treat
ment of the United States sailors and
fishermen in Canadian ports, and it is
Britain that is responsible for the do
ings of the Canadian seal poachers.
1t is belief in the certainty of Brit
ish protection that encourages Canada
to be unjust and insolent IN Its deal
lngs with the United States. Britain
has but to say the word and Canada
at once will proceed to be fair and
just to the United States. If Canada
alone were to be reckoned with, an
accounting for the wrongs done in
her name would be demanded and
enforced in short order.
Therefore the present conference
affords up opportunity to learn how
real or how false are the present pro
testations of British friendship.
