can see piled in the fields even now
stacks of wheat in sacks containing az
much as 1900 sacks. Six and eight.

FRIDAY. JANUARY 80, 1908.

Senator Smith of Umatllla has in
troduced bill which is in line with
the suggestions of some Of our East
Side citizens-the levying Of special
tax for building permanent roads. The
bill provides that majority of the
freeholders owning land lying in any
road district may petition the county
court asking the appointment Of view
ers to lay out and establish road be-
tween any points in such county and
stating that they desire the county to
levy a special tax of not to exceed 10
mills on the land in the road district
for specified period of mot more than
10 years. The petitioners must satisfy
the court that they have published a
notice Of such intended application in
some newspaper in the county for four
consecutive weeks. The court must
then appoint three freeholders who re-
side in the road district, who shall lay
out the road and return map thereof,
showing the property that viii be La
BILE to the tax for the building Of the
road. The court shall then direct the
clerk to levy the amount Of tax for the
number Of years petitioned for, upon
all real property located within one
mile of the road. The tax must be col
lected by the sheriff, in the same man
ner as other taxes are collected. Should
1t be found that the road can be con-
structed for less than the estimated
amount, the special commissioners
may order the rate of the tax reduced,
or abate it entirely. The special com
missioners have charge of the construc-
tion Of the road and may make all the
contracts necessary therefor After
the roads have been constructed by
special tax they shall be kept In repair
by the county at large. 1t IS also pro-
vided in the bill that the special COM
missioners may issue bonds for perma-
nent road building purposes and apply
the special road tax to the payment Of
the bonds when they mature, The
bonds must draw not more than per
cent interest and must not be sold at
less than par.

the inventor of these machines, and
others have taken pattern after him
and improved the weak parts until
now be can make first-class grubbeT
with little cost. Any one wishing a
good cheap machine will do well TO see
him. He intends to clear 10 acres on
his place as soon as the weather will
permit.

We are soon to have free rural mail
delivery and thep if some one will
come in and start i store and real es-

up in five and ten-acre tracts and this
valley would make homes for many
families; then we would do away with
the diggers, rattlers and coyotes, and
raise hogs or something else that would
pay better.

A gentleman Of this city informed the

recently, while at New York's biggest
hotel, he dined with a gentleman from
San Francisco. On the table was fruit
plate OF beautiful apples which attracted
the eyes OF the Californian. Taking one
in his hand and holding it up he said &:
"These must be California apples"
Calling to the waiter he said, "these
are California apples are they not2n II
don't know Ssir,' he replied. "They
certainly are California apples, 1.-THE gen
tleman continued, admiringly twirling
the big red beauty in his fingers. "Tll
inquire of the steward, sir, said the
waiter.
He soon returned with theinformation
that perhaps the apples did come from
California, for they were marked Hood
River Apples, and if Hood River was
in California, they must be California
apples.
1t was afterward learned that the ap-
plies we're listed on the bill Of fare as

EMPLOYED NON-ClIlZENS.

1t has just come to our notice that
the pilots of this port requisitioned
the Superintendent of Public Works
for new boat and that the same be
built right here on the spot, so that
they could see to it and the work be
under their eyes as it progressed
along. We understand that they
recommended the work to be done by a,
certain Mr. Johnson, a wellknown ex-
pert boat builder, but when it got to
Marston Campbell, he had the work
given to Walker also a boat builder.
This giving of the work may seem to
be all right and looks innocent enough
but our kick is yet to follow. Mr.
Johnson is a resident of over twenty
years in this country, has property
interests besides family, is an Amer
ican citizen and employs whites and
natives as his helpers, With the other,
we need not say further than that he
is not yet citizen and employs moth
ing but Japanese helpers. How came
1t that Mr.. Campbell gave this job to
a non-citizen who employs only Japs
as against citizen, who the pilots
recommended, knowing the man and
what he can do well, and who employs
other citizens? We would like to know
what there was in it for him. If this
won't jar any American citizen, we
would like to know what will? And
this in direct contravention of the spir-
1t and feeling frequently expressed by
the last Republican controlled Legisla-
ture. 1t was direct slap to the legis.
lators.

asked for it, all to no purpose; but
now, at the instance of the corpora

will surely get what they want quick

it seems by the way this particular

people, to be sure!
