Northern Pacific Taxes

A complaint IN equity has been filed
in the Federal court by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company against
Chehalls county and its treasurer, to
test the correctness of the taxes levied
against the company in that county.
The total sum due the county from
the railroad is about $75 900, this hav-
ing accumulated since 1890.
The company alleges the assess
ments have been exorbitant and err
roneous, and that a large portion OF
the lands having been obtained under
an indemnity act of congress are not
assessable. According to the allcga-
tlons in the complaint fair taxation
of the property all told would have
been less than $45, 900 due the county
instead Of the amount claimed: A
judgment has been rendered against
the railroad by the superior court Of
Chehalls county, but the plaintiffs de-
clare 1t is void, because at the time il
was rendered the road was 10 the
hands OF receiver appointed by the
United States court.

Buy at Home.

A good many people in all commun
tiles send to large cities for catalogues
of merchandise, and then send the
money for goods, which for cash can
be bought as cheap right at home.
Figure in the. cost of sending the
money always, and the freight on the
Goods back, then see how much you
have saved by not buying of your
home merchant. We will venture to
say that if buyers would go to home
merchants and say: Montgomery
Ward & co. or McDougal & Southwick
will sell us 50 and so for cash." the
home merchant would be glad to meet
the price and turn over the goods on
the same ;trns. At any rate his price
would be less than that OF the foreign
merchant if the freight be added.

Hens and Their Fruit.

Eggs have been selling in Des Moines
at as high as sixty cents dozen, and
were imported from other states at
that. The supply is not usually short
in the Hawkeye state as in Washing
ton, but the cold wave shut down the
memories and decreased production.
Speaking of hens and hen fruit, the
production Of chickens in the United
States last year reached 3,350,0O0,OO0,
and of eggs, 13,O0O,00OO0O. The total
value of chickens and eggs produced
was $29O,OO0,OOO.
No other American products reached
these large figures except cotton, wheat,
hay and corn. The potato crop only
amounted to $SO,OOO,O0O while the
output of pig iron rarely reaches $780,
100000.
The beauty Of the hen industry is
that no matter how much it may be
extended or pushed there is always a
good market for the output. Egg
famines ale common, with prices
which put them beyond the reach OF
people of limited means, who do not
keep hen dairy of their own, but
there is never any overproduction. Nc
matter how much the output or low
the price, it is used and the people de-
mand more.
While the people of Washington are
extending the scope of their wheat
field, planting new orchards and build
ing more fish traps, they should not
lose sight of thrifty and industrious

War in '63 and 'yS.

1t required war to make clear and
distinct the differences IN conditions
between '63 and '98. During the war
OF the rebellion, generals like Grant
and Sherman and Sheridan rode long
distances on horseback and issued
commands from the, saddle. The men
in the ranks marched weary distances
and slept Oh the ground with KNAPP
sacks for pillows. During the Span
ish-American war, Gen. Miles started
for the scene Of action on special
trainof Pullman cars and attended by
retinue of servants. Gen. Shafter,
too corpulent to ride astride horse,
dashed about the prospective battle
fields on a blackboard drawn by team
of strapping army mules.
Today The Ledger is in receipt of a
neatly printed elght-page pamphlet
program of "Events in the New Years
FieldDay," participated in by the
soldiers and sailors on the Luneta at
Manila, ?. I.
The field sports consist of l0O-yard
dashes, fancy club swinging, running
high jumps, exhibition high kicks
tumbling, shot putting, tugs Of war
boxing contests and baseball and foot
bal! games. A foot note says: "Dur-
ing the program the California band
will render popular music, among
other selections, the "Honolulu Lady"
Qatest coon song) and Sousa's latest
marches.
The evening program consisted OF
an overture grand selection from
Offenbach by the First Washington
Glee Club, clog, buck and wing dan
eng, recitalions, living pictures, comic
sketch team work, etc.
1t is perhaps well that athletics are
a part OF the routine of the modern
soldiers lite. The soldier who car
"put the shot" best liz an athletic con
test is likely to be pretty good in put
ting the shot when it comes from the
cannon behind which he stands.

for table use and really not up to
standard to cook with. This may some
times be made quite good for cooking
either by working it in sweet, fresh

over very hot fire and allowing it to
cook until it smokes, being careful that
it does not burn. Remove from the fire,
