BRTGHT'S DISEASE.

The largest sum ever paid for a pre-
scription, changed hands in San Fran
cisco, August 30, 1901 The transfer in
volved in coin and stock SIP 10000 and
was paid by party of business men for
a specific for Bright's Disease and Dia-
betes, hitherto incurable diseases.
They commenced the serious investi-
cation of the specific Nov. 10, 1900.
They interviewed scores of the cured
and tried it out on its merits by putting
over three dozen cases on the treatment
and watching them. They also got ply
sicans to name chronic, incurable cases,
and administered it with the physicians
for judges Up to Aug. % eighty-seyen
per cent of the test cases were either
we'll or progressing favorably.
There being but thirteen per cent OF
failures, the parties were satisfied and
closed the transaction. The proceedings
OF the investigating committee and the
clinical reports OF the test cases were
published and will be mailed free on ap-
pication. Address JOHN j. FULTON

TAX THE TIMBER LANDS.
nOiaers omOuld be Made 10 ray
Their Just Share While Land
Is Still Valuable.

With timber lands worth from
$40 to $40 per acre, at what valu-
alton should they be rated by the
assessor? This is the question that
is not only puzzling the assessors
o. the state but is causing much
agitation among the large owners
Of timber lands, particularly the
non n-resident land grabbers who
have captured 50 large portion of
the best timberin the state. With
in the last few years timber lands
have about trebled in value, and
the former extreme low assessments
now appear ridiculous. A number
of the counties OF the state, with
Clatsop among the first, have taken
the matter up with view to max
ing a more equitable rating.
Two years ago the timber land
OF Clatsop county was assessed as
high as $3.50 an acre, but the
board of equalization trimmed it
down to about $400, which has
been the maximum for some years,
much of it going far below that
figure. Across the river In Wash
ington tim Der is assessed as high
as SIS an acre. With the raise on
timber land and other property
which could we'll stand higher
figures, the valuation ofthis county
could easily be doubled without
doing any taxpayer an injustice.
1t will readily be admitted that
there is no justice or reason in
assessing fine timber claims worth
from $20 to $40 an acre at from
$3.50 to $4.00. The owners Of
these lands are gaining wealth by
simply letting their timber stand
while its value mounts up. They
should be made to pay for their
own, just as much as though 1T
consisted of improvements made by
their own labor and industry.
After the valuable timber has
been logged off then the values will
fall fiat, and owners will MOI want
to pay on valuation of more than
81 per acre. They should be made
to pay their just share Of the burden
while the land is still valuable.
Besides equalizing the assessment
to all the taxpayers, the virtue OF
a higher valuation lies in low
rate of taxation. When capitalist
is shown the magnificent resources
Of this country and sees how
generous a kind providence has
been in providing the raw material
he is at once on the eve of invest
ing. But when he is told that the
tax rate is from 3 to 5 per cent he
throws up his hands and declares
that he would be satisfied if he
could realize that rate on his
money in the east, and the prospect
Of paying such tax frightens him
away. The only obstacle to properly
assessing the timber lands is the
difficulty of ascertaining the amount
and quality Of timber on each
quarter section of land. To do
this requires the services of a
cruiser, and takes time and money,
but the end justifes the means and
the taxpayers at large demand the

1t appeals to you, when the fruit
hangs ripe and sweet on the tree late
in February, or early in March. Then
the blossoms break out, and the trees
are yellow with golden globes, and
white with orange flowers. 1t may
be that a furry of snow has whitened
the mountain tops, and then you have
an artistic background for tropical
forest. The air is full of sunshine,
and heavy with fragrance as night
comes on, and then, if the moon be
shining, you may hear at midnight
through open windows, the song OF
the mocking-bird in the scented grove,
and it never seemed so melodious be-
fore.
An experience like this is possible
