TEN THOUSAND PAID.
Paying Taxes at the Sheriff's Office
First Rush Thursday.

Over ten thousand dollars in tax
es has already been paid. Sheriff
Burnett has received that amount
up to Thursday afternoon. Between
II o'clock and quarter past twelve
that day, including but an hour
and quarter of time, he took in
over $1,000. During the period
there was a constant stream OF
people at the counter. Most OF
them came in on the train. and were
in a hurry to get away from the
Office. Each had secured the
amount of his taxes at points in the
county where Sheriff burnett with
much forethought has provided
lists of taxpayers and the amount
of the taxes of each.
The indications are that the con-
ditions of last year will again pre-
vail this year and that nearly all
taxpayers will take advantage of
the opportunity and get the three
per cent rebate allowed for payment
of taxes on or before March 18th,
The number of persons who had
paid taxes up to Thursday after
noon was 235. The number of
taxpayers on the roll is something
over 1900.

FUL TON IS THE Man.
ELECTED IN THE CLOSING MO-
! MENTs OF THE SESSION.
Harvey Scott Enters the Race at
Eleven O'Clock and Receives
Maximum of % Votes.

Salem, Or. Feb 2I, a, M, Ieo3,--
Charles Fulton was elected Senator
in the last moments Of the session
tonight. The result was announced
fifteen minutes after midnight. Bal
1oting began at eight O'Clock in the
morning and continued with but
slight changes until II O'Clock,
Geer receiving a maximum of 80
votes and Fulton remaining at 80.
At eleven o'clock Harvey Scott was
nominated and on the first ballot re-
,ceived 28 votes, Fulton receiving
80. On the second ballot Scott re-
ceived 2o votes. On the third bal
lot the vote remained the same until
Nottingham, of Mu1tnomah, went
to Fulton. The result of the ballot
was, Fulton IS, but before the re-
suit was announced, enough mem
bers changed to elect Fulton.

THE EXECUTIVE MANSION.

- There is a curious persistence
in the demand at Salem for pur-
chase at cost of 81 900 of an ex-
ecutive mansion. Governor Cham
berlain has informed members OF
the legislature that, during his
term, he would not occupy it, even
if the Cooke residence should be
purchased for state mansion. This
used as an argument, secured the
defeat of the appropriation in the
house where some Marion county
members urged it with vigor, In
the senate, however, the effort tor
purchase has been more successful,
and the appropriation has been
again made a part Of the general
appropriation bill.
Two years ago, when purchase
of the same property for the same
purpose was proposed in the leg
islature, Governor Geer announc-
ed that he was a poor man, and
that he could not, on his salary as
governor, afford to occupy the
Cooke mansion. The establish
ment that supporters of the measure
contemplate, involves social ap-
pointments, functions and expenses
to which governors of Oregon are
unaccustomed in private life and
which their salaries can i'll afford to
maintain. If the governors them
selves, as seems to be the case in
two instances, do not want to un-
dertake life in an executive man
sion, the question would naturally
seem to be, what is the use of buy
ing one. Is there nothing else to
spend money for? is not the ap-
preparation of a couple of millions
at one session enough?

WHO OWNS IT2

''We are opposed to anti-trus
legislation. Our attorney, Mr.
Archbo1d, ! will see you. It mus
be stopped" Such is the text O
kilograms sent by John D. Rocke
feller, Sr. and John D. Rockefe1
Ter Jr. to nine senators of the Unit
ed States. Stripped of one of it
imperious sentences, the language
is, ''We are opposed to anti-trust
legislation. It must be stopped. .
And it was to senators of these
United States, at Washington in
the discharge of their duty that
this language was used by the king
of trust magnates, and his bump
tious son. The senators deny it;
but President Roosevelt says nine
of them did receive the kilograms,
that he saw two of the te1egrams,
that the purport of two others was
repeated to him, and that the names
of four of the senators are, Hale,
Elkins, Keene and Spooner. Fur
thermore. Mr.. Roosevelt sent for
newspaper correspondents, and him
self gave the facts to the country.
s'We are opposed to antitrust
legislation. 1t must be stopped. J"
It is but natural that senator's re-
ceiving such orders, would, when
caught in the act, deny it. The
language uncovers in all its ugli-
ness, the improper relations that
exist between these senators and
the Rockefellers. It implies that
they are wont to do the bidding of
men of the character of these coal
oil kings. Their very denial, whenno
less an authority than the president
himself asserts to the contrary, is,
in itself a certain assurance that
they are ashamed to have the
people know all the facts. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's attitude in this
matter constitutes real service to
his countrymen. It throws the
search1ight of truth over unwe1-
come conditions in way that ad-
mits of neither controversy, nor
cavi1.
''We are opposed to antitrust
legislation. It must be stopped"
Who owns this country? Who rules
it? The kilograms would seem to
imply that the Rockefellers, father
and son, think themselves the
men.

TAM MATCHES THEM.
The Germ Theory as Applied to Lies
and Liars. Is

The Germ Theory as Applied to. Lies
/ and Liars. 4
In these parts Barber Tam is
recognized as the chief fabrieat6r OF
big yarns. He is e1igib1eetoz fame
in the literary world but Tam IS
modest and seems content with a
local reputation of being wonder
| fill liar.
Many people marvel at his big
stories and wonder at his ability in
this line; but one of his close friends
undertakes to solve the question on
the germ theory. In the opinion
of this one of Tam's friends, there
are germs which, under certain con-
ditions, develop into various de-
grees of prevarication. Every man
is more or less sinocu1ated with them.
In some they are hereditary or con-
stitutional, while to others they
may have been transmitted as con-
.tagion. Continuing the gentleman
said:
'I believe that lying is a con-
tageous disease, and one thing
which confirms me in the notion is
the fact that it seems constantly
epidemic. You know that in o1den
times a liar was abhorred of all men,
and was Stunned then very much
as we at this time accord the right
of way to a man with the smallpox.
The good book tells us that All
liars shall have their part in the
lake which burneth with fire and
birthstone This fate was most
likely pronounced as a precaution-
ary measure of health. Nothing is
more fatal to disease germs than
fire and birthstone.
But things switch about so, it
is hard to tell what we are coming
to. There is no telling what cleo
tricity and the germ theory will do
for us. At the present day we
rsther enjoy contact with a good
liar. It may be the pleasure of mu-
tua1 influences.
"But was going to give you
few pointers on the secret of
Tamss success as big story-tel1er.
The conditions surrounding the
BARRIERS profession are peculiarly
adapted to the development of latent
inveracious microbes. notably the
usual warmth oftonsora1 apartments
and prevalent necessity of enter
tanning patrons. You have no
doubt observed the large percentage
of liars among BARRIERS. Well, Tam
notices things as he jogs along the
tortuous path of life, and he has dis
covered that heat and thought in
union produce mental microbic
activity and development. So now
whenever heis in a mood to produce
batch of whoppers, he simply
warns up his barber shop to an
incubating temperature, hovers
down behind the stove, sets his
mental machinery to going, and
literally hatches them out. Then
he broods over them with maternal
devotion until they have gained the
strength necessary to go on the
foad and successfully battle for
place among the drummers' yarns.
'The information I have given
here ought to, and doubtless will,
successfully controvert the insin-
uation frequently made by unscru-
pu1ous persons to the effect that
Tam procures job lots of gray-whis- |
kered and broken-down anecdotes
and the like, and after treatment to
a bath, shave, haircut and hypo-
dermic injection of rejuvenator,
palms them off as his own product"
