the series. Professor Saintsbury. completely
lacking in sympathy for his subject, produced
very doubtful pages. Mr.. cornioro was lio'
particularly edifying Stevenson, and MIS-
Meynen was only mildly successful with her
book on Ruskin. But Mr. Lang is in perfect
harmony with his theme He has an unfaiins
sense of measure: what he has to say is gen
orally fresh and always reasonable. and, best
of all his style is one which makes the perusai
of any book OF his pleasure. In this short
critical biography OF the late Laureate ne es-
chews frivolous personala, and he ignores 'he

as provided for by bill which was
passed bv the last legislature. The plan
adopted Is to have the county clerk refuse
to make transcript Of records pertaining
to property In the territory involved and
thus force Baker county to begin the legal
fight with mandamus proceedings. It
Is unfortunate for both counties that this
policy Of resistance has been adopted, be.
cause II will very probably result In much
unnecessary expense; unnecessary be.
cause 1t will unlikely result In defeating
the provisions Of the measure. This vol.
unteered opinion Is based on the alleged
errors Of the bill advanced by Union
county's legal advisers, which are trans.
paren,ly merely fimsy pretexts. Take
this foi one: "That II was passed con.
nary to the will Of the people most con.
eerned." Who ever heard Of a legisla.
ture en1eting q law that could not be simi.
larly criticised Other grounds for the con.
test are that all the taxes on the assess.
ment roll due for 1900 are transferred to
Baker county, instead Of being left with
Union. which had already incurred the ex.
penses for which the taxes were levied;
that II Is the duty Of the school superin.
tendent to divide the school fund Of 1901
with that part Of the county annexed to
Baker; and that an act Of the legislature
fixing the proportion Of taxes for the next
five years requires that Baker shall pay

damned by the mossback hoodoo. But

In this district during the past two
years, thanks to mining men who have

all doubt as to the great value and per.

that within five years there will be more

area anywhere else on the globe.

THAT sensational story published In
the Boise Statesman Sunday, relative to
the alleged mysterious death OF a nine.
year.old girl at the Virtue mine last July,
In which II Is charged that she was toully,
beas,ially murdered, was SO coarse piece
Of work that II would discredit itself In
the mind OF any intelligent reader. The
average man is not brute; only In rare
cases Of rank moral degeneracy will a
man criminally assault a child. The
Statesman attempted TO make out a case
Of u conspiracy against some Of the most
reputable citizens OF this county TO shield
some imaginary tend. The Idea Is un.
speakably repulsive, the story impossible.
