laughed Findlay.
So Walters dropped the matter. He
rose to go soon. Findlay was noisiiy
hospitable In his farewell. After speed

room, drank a stiff nightcap and put
out the lights. In his bedroom he han
died the money again and called 1t
names, waxing rather m~elodramatic.
Then he put 1t in his safe and turned
the key. Pm glad I'm not one to at

at his simple strong box. The drink
and a weeks sleeplessness conquered
his overweight nerves as soon as he
touched his sheets and he slept heavily.
Some hours later the tiny midnight
noises Of a sleeping house were sharp
ly silenced by a loud creaking of the
stairs. Then everything was breath
lessly still. Again the stairway creak-
ed, but more cautiously. A slight odor
of sulphur, the green flicker Of a
match, and then a little candle fame
shed a dim light in the upper hall just
outside Findlay's bedroom. His door
was tried and yielded slowly, while
the intruder listened to Findlay's
breathing.
Presently the vague light crossed
his room and played around the safe.
A moment later it's feeble rays were
searching his clothes-such a long, long
seach it made! Some keys fell loudly
to the floor. But the sleeper breathed
with heavy regularity.
Next the candle appeared beside the
safe. A key clicked and the little door
swung wide. From out Of it's dark re-
cesses the man dragged it's treasure to
the last coin.
Suddenly the air thrilled under the
shrill roll of the telephone bell hanging
directly beside the head Of the bed.
The thief sprang to the instrument and
vainly tried to stifle its alarm. But In
the darkness Findlay turned on his

Officials Return From Trip Over Rout
OF the Proposed Extension

In an interview with G.. w. Nbley,
vice.president Of the Sumpter Valley
railway, he is quoted as saying that his
company had decided to build this year
IS miles of extension OF their main line to
the southwest of Sumpter, into a body Of
their own timber situated just this side of
Clifford. The extension will leave the
main line OF the road at Sumpter, cross
the Powder river and taking advantage
of the elevation gained, will go down that
river short distance to the Bonanza
canyon, where good pass has been
found.
Mr.. Nibley further stated that their
future plans were indefinite, except that
the company had decided that as fast as
the business Of the country would warrant
It, whether this year or next year, or in
five years, they would build through
Prairie City to Canyon City and Burns.
Messrs. Jos. A. West, locating eng.
neer and Jos. Barton general passenger
agent Of the Sumpter Valley Railroad
company returned to Baker City yester.
from a reconoitering trip through the
mountain Businesses between Sumpter
and Prairie City.
Their trip was In connection with the
extension Of the railroad and their work
was not completed on account OF their
lack 0i preparations for the hardshipS
involved. They found the work much
harder than they expected, owing to the
wild and rugged country and they re-
turned to outfit accordingly. The
country through which they travelled
for three or four days would try the
physical endurance OF the most accustom.
ed mountaineer and some OF the gulches
they got into seemed impossible to re.
trace their steps from. The mountains
were precipitous and the fallen timber
was an awful obstruction to progress on
foot or on horseback.

ALVIN BARTLETT

and died at Island Pond October $1,000.
He was married to Miss Sarah Buchan-
nan June 90, 1858 by Rev. Jacob Clark,
who baptized him in infancy, and was
his pastor until he was married. Mr.
Bartlett was converted during the revi.
val of 1876. His children are Hon. f.
M. Bartlett, Jennie, the wife of Rev. 7.
M. Edmands, of Mankato, Mimi, Mrs.
Porter II. Dale, Mrs. f. f. Norcross,
Miss Edith, and daughter was, who
died in infancy. He always spoke of
his pastor with gratitude and the date of
his conversion as the turning point in
his destiny. He moved on to the farm
which his father cleared and remained
there until he came to Island Pond in
1866 and went into the store, that is
now being reconstructed, as clerk for
Bartlett & Robinson, which were j. NJ.
Bartlett and f. G. Robinson. This
firm was succeeded by A. Bartlett & Co.,
composed of A. Bartlett, and Bartlett &
Robinson, in turn succeeded by A. Bart
lett, Son 8, Co., which admitted +. M.
Bartlett to the firm. This last named
firm was succeeded by A. Bartlett & Son,
which continued to the death of Alvin,
who although so long at the head of the
firms, and having the principal and ac-
tive management of the business, seldom
was absent from the store, preferring
to give his constant attention to the de-
tails of the business, and to find his re-
creation at home with his family and
his books.

after which Col. Dlle rea the last part

Following another selection by the choir
the pastor preached an excellent sermon
based upon the text "Christ died for the

the sermon the pastor briefly stated that
in consequence of the short term since
the beginning of his pastorate he had
not been acquainted with the deceased
during his active business career, but
practically only during his declining
days and illness. He therefore gave
place to Col. Dale, who III few we'll

LEGISLATIVE DOINGS.

The first bill introduced in the House
was one entitled " An act to equalize
taxation, and the first bill in the Senate
was of the nature of referendum high
license and local option bill. Another
bill having special public interest
is House bill No. 6, relating to the State
Laboratory Of Hygiene.
House bill MOL is simply a repetition
of a bill introduced twice in the House
in 1896, and provides for the exemption
of all loans secured by mortgage upon
real estate and bearing rate of interest
not exceeding four and onehalf per cent.
Senate bill No. | is framed with the
idea Of getting the sentiment of the
people on the question of changing the
present prohbitory law for a high license
and local option bill. The three features
are contained in one question, and the
bill provides that the secretary of State
shall, not less than % days before the
annual meeting in March, 1902, duly
certify to every town and city clerk the
following question which shall be sub
mitted to the legal voters of the several
towns and cities at that annual meeting
namely: Should the statutes prohibiting
the traffic in Intoxicating liquor be
repealed and should statutes be enacted
providing for such traffic at a high
license fee in any town or city in which
a majority Of the legal voters so order
at regular town or city meeting duly
warned for that purpose Every town
and city clerk is to provide necessary
ballots for determining the vote on this
question and a list of the names of per-
sons voting shall be kept by the clerk,
his deputy or a member of the board of
civil authority designated by him and
snail be filed in the office of said clerk.
Every town and city clerk shall certify
to the secretary of state the result of

Double Taxation.

We have not had time to study the
report of the special committee on this
subject. bat as We uud 'rstand one feat
ure of it. it is 4 recommendation to eX--
empt mortgages from taxation, either
absolutely or where the loan on the
mortgage is made at some given per
cent. This recommendation seems to
he based upon the inconvenience for the
state to ascertain the mortgagor's and
mortgages interest in the real estate
and its variation from year to year.
Now any exemption that would be either
really or practically more favorable to
the mortgage than 10 the mortgagor
would be vicious; would Ice in favor OF
the rich and adverse to the poor. 1t is
Offering a premium on exemption which
the capitalist will take advantage of
when and where it is for his interest to
do SO and deny the poor borrower when
ever it isn't. Under most any law based
upon that theory many tunes could be
PLAYED corresponding with the situation,
including principally the varying rates
of taxation in the different towns. Be
sides many opportunities would be given
to the rich lender to evade taxation
while the borrower would have to pay
taxes on the full value of his property
which would always be in sight. This
is all we'll enough to make the farmer
pay taxes on the real value of his prop
ertv if it did not also furnish avenues
for escape for the money lender. We
have always insisted that the mortgagor
should pay taxes on his actual interest
or equity in the real estate and the
mortgage should pay on the amount
due on his mortgage. And we think SC
now. And so the committee seems to
but says it would be inconvenien
10 ascertain lle itldtlNt lhttltstS y
the mortgagor and mortgage accm
ately in any real estate. But the people
of this state will never be satisfied unit
each man is taxed on the value of us
what he possesses. And just as long a
men are taxed upon fictitious or theoret
zeal values just so long will diSsatsfac
ton exist And it will not be satisfac
tory to the people to say to them tina
the legislature would be glad to ia,
each upon the real value of his posses
sions justly and according to the actua
possessions of each, but it is not cor
venient to do 50. And it can well b
asked what the trouble is in demandin

mortgage? and why can he not state
Just as accurately as he can put his lis
of debts due from solvent or insolven
debtors into his inventory? There is II
more uncertainty about this matter tina
about many other things relating to tn
