Lumbermeu Enter Protest.

Eugene-Two of the most important
complaints to be made before the coun-
ty board Of equalization, which has
been in session this week, was made by
A. D. Hyland and the Booth-Kelly
lumber company. They ask for a re-
duction in the assessed valuation of
their large timber holdings. Assessor
Burton has assessed timber lands at an
average valuation of So per acre, which
is considerably higher than they have
been assessed before.

salem-The new law placing a limit
of 10 per cent upon the rate of interest
to be bid at delinquent tax sales will
not 90 into effect until March %, and
will, therefore, not affect sales that are
now being advertised under the tax roll
Of 1902. In some counties the tax
sales are delayed, and may not be COM
pleted until the new law goes into
effect. In nearly all counties, however,
the delinquent lists are short, and sales
will be conducted in January.

The Future Made Easy.

There was recently in White Haven,
Pa, an up-to-date evangelist who Sc
cured pot of yellow paint and deco
rated all the rocks along the Lehigh
river with Bible texts and admonitions.
Among the sentences painted were
some rather startling ones. Some dis
lance up the river he discovered a
huge rock with a fine, smooth surface,
facing a much-used road. Across this
he painted in foot-high letters:
what are you going to do after
death?"
1t was only a week, however, that
the rock displayed this alone, for an
enterprising advertisement writer
came along and painted just below:

sILK DRESSES OF TIN.
Nearly rs Per Cent OF the so-calIed
silk Is Tin, Pure and Simple.


silk Is Tin, Pure and Simple.
A Chicago chemist declares that 75
per cent OF the so-called silk used for
skirts, blouses, and dresses Is nothing
less than tin. pure and simple.
He asserts that the practice Of sub
stituting tin for vegetable weighing
substances originated In Germany.
The vegetable matters were no detri-
ment, though equal brilliancy of color
was not Obtainable, and there was not
the same sheen and feel when han
died as that produced by the real silk,
which has the rustic so pleasing to
ladies ears. The practice of the
dyer" he explains, ito whose hands
the silk yarn is intrusted for dyeing
and weighing, is to boil it, and in so
doing he reduces every sixteen ounces
TO twelve, thus eliminating the nat
ural gummy substance and the for
eign matter added for the purpose Of
spinning The twelve ounces were
then brought to fourteen by the use
of fannie acid, etc. To-day by the
substitution of tin, the twelve ounces
are raised to sixteen ounces, or even
thirty ounces"
"The proportion of weighing is
more than that in black silk" said a
manufacturer to whom this statement
was submitted. Frequently only one
fourth of the woven material is real
silk; the other three parts are tin and
dye"
Any woman can test for herself
whether the silk she is buying is tin
weighted. Let her hold some threads
in a flame, and the genuine will leave
an ash resembling that Of wool when
burned, with no traces Of filament,
while the tin weighted simply loses
it's color and tenacity, each thread re-
naming distinct in thin wire gauze.

Ancient Fresh Eos.

M. Louis Parisot, an eminent French
chemist, has discovered liquid which
he says will keep eggs quite fresh for
q period of twelve years. Early last
year he placed a large number of new
laid eggs in this liquid, and he took
the precaution to get magistrate to
witness the proceeding and to affix TO
the tank his official seal. At the expi-
ration of twelve months the magistrate
witnessed the opening of the tank, and
the eggs we're found in excellent con-
dition. Four which were selected at
haphazard from the tank were at once
boiled for eating, and were found to be
In first rate condition and of excellent
favor. Later on the inventor had an
other triumph. Some eggs which had
been in the liquid for four months
were successfully Matched, eight out
of the twelve which were placed under
the hen proving fertile. Nj. Parisot
states that he can preserve 1000 eggs
with his preparation for the sum Of
l71s pence.

"Unto How Many"

Unto how many men each hour
Frail little firgers seek TO bring
Some gentle gift, some flower
That is the souls best Offering!
Some happiness which we despise,
Some boon we toss aside forever
And only that our selfish eyes
May smile one minute on the giver.
How many of us count or treasure
The little lives that perish thus
To garner us moments pleasure,
A moments space to comfort us?
Blind. ever blind, we front the sun
And cannot see the angels near US.
Forget the tender duties done
BY willing slaves to help and cheer US
Earth and it's fullness, all the fair
Creations OF this heaven and air,
All lives that die that we may live,
All gifts of service we pass by;
All blessings love hath power TO give
We scorn, o God. or we deny
