The Chicago authorities have
taken a foremost step towards the
removal OF unsightly sign boards
and fences that bear advertisements
for business concerns by listing the
same for taxation.
1t IS argued by the board of asses
sors and certainly not without rea-
son, that these advertising mediums
yield revenue and therefore should
pay tax. Heretofore it has been
attempted to fix tax upon adver-
Using companies for this kind of
business, but for some reason it
failed. Now, however, it is pro-
posed to put the tax directly on the
property containing the advertising
bulletins, as we'll as taxing the COM
pany or individual who furnishes
the lumber for such purpose.
1t good scheme to be put in
practice everywhere, as certainly
both the advertising concerns and the
property owners who permit such
announcements to be placed on their
premises, derive a revenue from the
same. Surely it is disfigur ement
of property to see country barn
roof painted i'm letters diSCernlble
half a mile away, the important in
formation that somebody's pills are
the best, or that there is but one
place in the whole world to get the
right fitting shirt. Then along the
fences are strings of signs of busi-
ness houses giving numerous partic-
ulars Of their various kinds of bust
ness and where to find them.
The ingenuity of the country boy,
or perhaps the city boy who may
chance to stroll out into the country,
Is often seen In these advertising
signs where the whole meaning is
changed by the obliteration of
words or letters and vulgar con-
struction given to them.
1t has been the experience OF sue
cessful business men that this kind
of spread eagle advertising does no
good whatever, but that the amount
put into lumber and paint and arts
tic skill in signs on barn roofs. rocks,
fence boards and great bulletins at
street corners, if placed in the COL
umns of live newspaper will bring
four fold results. This is business
proposition which no good business
man will ignore. it is right that
sign board advertising, which is
such a Disagreement to property as
well as source of revenue, should
pay a tax, as newspaper in pro-
portion to the value of its adyertls-
ing columns is liable to taxation

Bishop Whipple at the head of
the Episcopal church in Minnesota,
who has been Interested in Indian
affairs for over 10 years, says that
the Indians of the country are in
better condition now than they have
ever been before. The standard of
government employees IN the Indian
service IS much higher than former
ly and the interior department at
Washington takes a deeper interest
in the Indians welfare, affording
him better means of obtaining an
education and giving him an oppor
tunity to rise in the world.

In Elkhart county, Mr.. Miller,
one of the gentlemen appointed by
Judge Wilson to serve on the coun-
ty council, declines to serve on the
county council on the grounds that
the law does not give the council
enough authority. That is not a
good excuse. If Mr.. Miller has the
time to devote to the work, he
should accept and go as far as the
law will permit. If it shall be
demonstrated that the present LAY"
does not give the council enough
authority, it can be amended at the
next session of the Legislature.

Importance of Saving.

DIR. Hills, of New York, sums up
much of the difference between labor
and capital as the difference between
the man who earns dollar and spends
it for beer or something he doesn't actu
ally need, and the one who earns dol
lar and puts 1t In savings bank and
lets il accumulate. There is enough
truth in this to illustrate that the accu-
mutation of capital is more question
of economy and saving than it is In
earning money.-Laporte Argus.

GooSBERRY, Feb. %, 1899
ED. IMEs-MoUNTAINEER:
There are rumors afloat here con.
corning the building of an electric
railway starting at The Dalles and
following the Columbia river to the
junction with the John Days, thence
up the John Days to the mouth of
Rock creek, thence up Rock creek to
Dry Fork of same, up Dry Fork, COM
ing out near Goosberry. thence up
Eight. Mile, coming out on top of Hale
Ridge, then running on the ridge to
Hardman, which place will be the end
of the road.
This road will tap the entire wheat
raising sections of Morrow and Gil
liam counties, also the wool trade
from over the mountains, besides
carrying the merchandise for the cities
and towns over the mountains.
The proposed route from Hardman
to the mouth of Rock creek, have
travelled over and know that it will
be easily graded that far, but the rest
of the way know nothing about but
think it can be easily graded without
much work from what can hear from
persons who have been over the
ground. The power was to be made
at the falls of the John Days river.
The farmers nearly all the way along
the route are willing to give literally
to promote the enterprise, at the rate
of from $3.50 to $500 each.

After brief and not particularly brill
liant career the Portland Daily Times
has succumbed to the inevitable, and
passed to that dreamless sleep where
copy-boys cease their troubling and
weekly paydays are unknown, says

Book company, was the only mourner
who followed the departed to its last
resting place. From his abundance
he had contributed thousands to the
youngsters support, and it may be
some time until the grief of the chief
mourner is assauged.
The suspension of the Times merely
indicates that the people of Portland
demand high order of newspaper.
The Times did not ill the bill. It was
not sufficiently meritorious to succeed,
and it is now dead. The Times is not
the only paper that has failed from the
same cause, and in all probability will
not be the last.
