POSTAL CARD DELUGE.

The thousands of postal cards re-
ceived every month by the DIR. David
Kennedy Corporation of Rondout, n,
Y, requesting a trial bottle of their
favorite remedy reach such huge pro-
portions that it has been very justly
called a postal deluge.
Think of the substantial reward each
sender of a postal card receives-a
trial bottle of DIR. David Kennedy's
F'avorite Remedy, the greatest
known cure for diseases of the Kid

tism, Dyspepsia and Chronic Constipa-
ton.
If in return for the price of a postal
card Zone cent? you receive medicine
free, that will relieve your suffering.
1t is only fair to believe that a con-
tinued use of the same medicine, for
a reasonable length of time will surely
cure you.
Women who suffer from what is
known as female weaknesses lind,

on an active campaign. against
adnlterated and impure food pro-
ducts. His new deputy, H. ".
Tartar, will soon be equipped
with an outfit which will enable
the commissioner ::to make tests
in a small way, even though he
has been refused a laboratory,
and the services of a chemist
through the death of the new
law.
But even with such apparatus
as is available considerable effect
i've work can be done. 1t will
not then be necessary to send
every sample to the State College
to be analyzed. As it is now the
Agricultural College is crowded
with work of its own, and it is
not likely to neglect that work
for the purpose of accommodate
ing the Food Commissioners De-
part1nent. In the past it has
been exceedingly kind to give as
much attention as possible to the
matter, as there was no other
method of analysis under the old
law. But since the state had a
chance to provide other means,
and did not do SO, the college no
longer feels it incumbent upon
itself TO go out of its way to ac-
comfnodate the food commits
sioner. Therefore, some kind of
an outfit here is absolutely neces-
sary before the commissioner can
make a move. He has knowl-
edge that there are in existence
a number of violations of the law
at the present time that should be
looked after, but, to arrest viola
tors without the ghost of a show
to convict them would be worse
than useless. Just as soon, how
ever, as the new equipment is
placed, dealers want to look out,
for it is intended by the commis-
sioner that there shall be 'ssome-
thing doing.'

Looking for Ghosts.

An article by Mrs. L. V. Flint
OF this city, descriptive of Cor
wallis, appears in s'The Sun
flower" paper published in
New York. It contains this
paragraph, concerning our eli
mate:
The climate is mild and equa-
bic, compared with other por-
tons of the state. Neither cold
nor hot, just enough to know that
we have a decided change of sea-
SON. A few fakes of snow and
just a thin ice for a few days
and now people are working in
their gardens, getting ready for
planting-and this is the last of
February. The State Agrioul-
tura1 College is located here, and
we are justly proud OF the fine
buildings and grounds, and the
work under President Catch is
being we'll done. Some 500
students are enrolled. There are
some minor industries here, but
Corvallis is mainly a city of
homes, and is destined to become
what is called a college Town"
Mrs. Flint says Corvallis is "a
city of churches" and adds:
Our Lyceum was the first ap-
pearance OF anything liberal that
the town ever had and we held
the first Spiritual service ever
held here. Such ideas! and such
curiosity! You can perhaps
grasp the situation when we re-
late an incident that occurred: j:
A boy who attended the opening
of the Barrett Lyceum, was ques-
toned as to how he liked it, and
what he saw. "Didn't see moth
in but an old grey headed wo-
man that talked" And of
course you can quite understand
that ''talk'' amounted to moth
ing, when a boy was looking for
''ghosts.
And now, after a years. work,
there is occasionally someone
looking for e'ghosts. So The ig-
norance of the people concerning
Spirltualism is appalling. Aud
never, till we began our public
work, here, did we know there
could be so much prejudice and
superstition. We held our own
though-and have as fair an
audience, comparatively, as the
other denominations.

Arthur st. Clair Heard From.

Arthur st. Clair is in Eureka,
Calf. This information came in
a letter from him a few days ago;
the first information as to his
whereabouts that anxious rela-
tives in this city have had in
years. Arthur left Corvallis
about seven years ago. He loves
adventure and is fond of travel
and this was not his first time to
leave home with no definite des.
tination. Months passed and no
tidings came from him and his
friends grew apprehensive. AS
the months grew into years it was
believed that Arthur was either in
some very distant country, OF
that harm had befallen him.
Then came this letter. 1t
stated that Arthur has been in
California the greater part of the
time since he left Corvallis. He
married at Los Angeles about a
year ago. He went to Humboldt
county recently to investigate
some business propositions and
met Frank Williamson, a former
Corvallisite, with whom he had an
extended conversation. Recol.
lections of home awakened by
this interview, kindled a deter.
mination to open a correspon-
dence and apprise relatives and
friends of his whereabouts.

DOUBLING ASSESSMENTS.
Why Property Has Been Assessed At Half
Its Valuc.-The New Law.

UUUOlsisU ASSLSSmlNtSs
Why Property Has Been Assessed At Hall
Its vaIac.-The New Law.
One beneficial result of the law
passed by the legislature of 1901,
prescribing the method of appor-
tioning state taxes, is found in
the determination of assessors
throughout the state to assess
property at its full value. The
method provided by the old law
induced assessors to tax property
at from 90 per cent to 20 per cent
of its real value, for by so doing
they lessened the amount ol
taxes their respective counties
were required to pay into the
state treasury.
Under the old law, the pro.
portion of state taxes county
was required to raise was deter
mined by the amount of taxable
property in the county as shown
by the abstract of assessment.
For instance: If the assessment
rolls showed that county had
500, 900 worth Of taxable prop
erty, that county would pay
twice as Inu-h into the state
treasury as it would pay if its
taxable property amounted to but
$50, 900. Here, thea, was a
temptation to the assessor of each
county to cut under other coun-
ties in assessment valuations.
But the law of 1901 removes
this temptation. Under the
provisions OF that law the
amount of taxable property in a
county is no longer the basis for
fixing the amount of state tax a
county shall pay.
The act referred to provides
that the average amount of ex-
penditure of a county for a pc
Rod of five years shall determine
the proportion of state tax that
county shall pay. Expenditures
made for roads and highways are
not included in county's ex-
penses.
Discussing this matter, the
Portland Telegram says:
Assessors feel freer than they
did formerly to more nearly obey
the law and assess property at
figures more nearly representing
its actual cash value. Unless
higher valuations tend to extrav-
agant expenditures, as it is some
times argued is the case, though
there is no good reason why it
should be so, the example of the
Clackamas assessor is one de-
serving of imitation by other
assessors. Umatil1a county farm
ing land is assessed at one-..hird
Of its reasonable cash value and
in that and other counties prob
ably the rule is to assess not only
land but other property at from
ene-third to one-half IFS actual
value. Why not double these
assessments, causing Oregon to
show up with $3.50, 900, 900 or
5000, 900, 900 of assessable prop
erty, and cut down the tax rate
in proportion? So long as ex-
penditures were not thereby in
creased, it would not only look
much better, bat would actually
be much better, if the value of
Multnomah county were placed
at $50, 900, 900 instead of $40,
900, 900, and its tax rate cut
down from 36 to IS mills or less.
