FIFTEEN TO SIX.

Two years ago, Washington Go gave Gov. Davis about 1900 ma jority over Rector. The following from the Fayetteville Sentinel of a recent date shows which way the windis blowing now:
 For the past year the Sentinel has made it q point to poll every representative body that met at the court house, in regard to their choice for Governor. Of the B committeeman present two would not express themselves, six were for the reelection of Gov. Davis and fifteen were for Judge Wood. Judge Woods friends gre very much elated, for these committee men were elected two years ago when Gov Davis was at tie height of his glory in Washingtoe county. l Judge Woods friends think that if the hearts of the committeeman have had such change of senti- ment that perhaps the hearts of the people have also been changed.
 Continual attacks upon the Su- pfemc Court on account of it's de- cisions on any line show . weak ness upon the part of tbose who make charges. Courts are usually honest Of the forty ode states in this Union but few have ever had courts that have been charged with corruption This is especially true of Arkansas and her courts. Our Supreme Court may at times have had judges Oh it that were not as strong lawyers as they should have been but they have been honest in their rulings. The present court is made up of as honorable l gentlemen as this or any other state affords. Who ever heard of any one doubting the honesty of l Judge H C. Bunn7 At his home at Camden he is looked upon as the soul of honor. Judges Hughes, Battle and Riddick are all honest | Christian gentlemen that stood as well as any of their neightors be fore they went on the bench and who ever heard of any one attempt ing 10 reflect upon Judge Wood before he entered 5he campaign for governor3 Tie people in the old 10th Judicial District know that he is an honest man and the efforts that are being made to reflect up on Judge Wood on account of any ruling of the court reflects equally upon every other memFer of the court for no one Judge decides a case alone. These efforts to i'm pugn the honor of Carroll D. Wood when he is striving to, and is in fact, diseharging his sworn duty, will arouse the independent thinking Davis men to a sense ol justice and make active Wood mef of them before the campaign clos es. No man at heart doubts the honesty of Wood whether he is supporting him or not.-CIevelant County Herald.

The Little Rock iDemocrat of the 16th contains this item;
 "A prominent Pine Bluffian, John Q. Harrison, just returned from Grant county, which ad- joins Jefferson county on the West, reports that the county Is quite strong for Judge Carroll D. Wood for Governor At q meeting of the Grant county Democratic central committee, q vote was taken to ascertain the standing of the committee men. and out of 24, q were for Wood.

TO START ON CANAL.
Channel at Three NUile Rapids to
be Deepned.

The first work in connection with the
construction of the Celllo Canal will be
com euced about May l. Major W. G
Langftt, United States Engineer De-
partment, will advertise for sealed pro.
posals for removing the submerged
rocks and deepening the channel of the
Columbia River at Three.Mie Rapids
Sealed proposals will be received at the
office of Major Langftt until until II a.
m., March 22, 1904, which will then be
publicly opened.
According to the contract, work on
the channel must commence within 80
days after the award of the contract,
and the commencement of the improve
ment of the channel will depend entire
ly on the time consumed in abstracting
the bids and deciding which will be the
most advantageous, which will probably
be done within ten days after the pro-
posals are opened.
The improvement work according to
the contract, must be completed in May
1905.
The improvement will consist of re.
moving submerged rocks and reefs
from the channel that are dangerous to
boats, especially during low water and
the channel will be opened and made of
sufficient depth and width to insure the
safety of boats that will necessarily nav
igate this part of the river during the
low water when the construction of the
canal is in progress. The completion of
the contract will open the channel from
The Dalles to the point where the canal
will be constructed.
For the Cello Canal $199,O73 is on
hand with which to do the work, nearly
all of which will be consumed in clear.
ing the Three Mile Rapids. Major
Langftt stated that nearly all of the
available fund would be used on this
improvement of the river, and while the
work could be postponed until later
date that as long as the money was
available, this part of the work might
as we'll be done at the present time.
The recommendation of Major Lang
fit that the channel be cleared, was
submitted to the Engineers depart
mert, in Washington, some time ago
and met with the approval of the de-
partment.

though the whole neighborhood wa,
soon apprised and there was scramble
to get in line and obtain coveted Qua
ter section in short order Over 200 ap
plicants to purchase were in before the
supply was exhausted.
What brought about the stampede
was the disclosure of certain facts in
possession of the law firm of Mcknight
& Seabrook relative to the title Of the
famous Coos Bay wagon road lands. 1t
is claimed that this immensely valuable
tract of timber is still held in trust bv
Southern Oregon Company for the
people, the clause IN the original grant
to the State of Oregon from the Federal
Government being operative in which it
recites that the land shall not be sold to
individuals other than citizens of the
United States and in tracts not larger
than 160 acres, and at price not to ex-
ceed 81 so or less than 81 25 This land
has always been held as a whole by a
corporation. Upon this point hinges
the fate of the 200 applicants to pur-
chase the land, and they have put up
$4,000 to prosecute the case. Applica-
ton to purchase at the top figure was
served upon R. E. Shine, secretary of
the company on the same day.
There is no end to the excitement oc-
casioned by the bringing of the suit
Coos county has long been troubled
with this company that will not sell
foot of land to settlers at any price, and
public sentiment is very strongly in
favor of those who have applied for the
lands. In all events this means the
starting of long legal battle.

taxable Property Increased $685.
100000 i'm the state

Salem, Or, Feb. 17-An increase o
$25, ,000, 900 in the assessed valuation o
the taxable property in Oregon is shown
by the assessment summaries which
have just been filed in the Office of the
Seer etary OF State. The total value OF
taxable property in 1902 was $148 ,O0O,-
600, and according to the rolls of 1903 it
is $l73 ,OO0,0 600. There has been an in
crease IN the assessed value of every
class OF property showing the heaviest
advances. In round numbers, tillable
land has increased $4,000 non-tili-
able land, $4,000, 900; city lots and in
provemenus, $4,000,O00; railroad bed /,
$3,OOO.OOO; merchandise $l,OOO,OOO.
Railroad bed shows the greatest per
cent OF increase, the advance being
nearly AZ per cent Unlmproved land
has gone up "a per cent on the assess
ment rolls.
In per cent of increase Clackamas
County heads the list by almost doub-
ling It's assessment Gillian County
shows an increase of SO per cent; Bel
ton, u per cent; Umatilla, 62 per cent;
Morrow, 81 per cent, and Clatsop A per
cent Two counties show decreases,
Tillamook and Grant, but Tillamook
had nearly doubled it's assessment the
year before. Much to the surprise of
everyone, MuItnoman County shows the
smallest rate of increase, although it is
known that rents have advanced and
many new buildings have been erected.
The average increase throughout the
state is II per cent Multnomah's in.
cIease is p per cent.
The figures show that the advances
nave Deen more IN the amount or prop
erty. There has been an increase OF
100, 900 acres in the area of tiIlabie land,
but the rate of valuation has increased
from $40 to $11.5O per acre. In 1902,
there were 2,S09,327 acres of tilabe
land assessed, and in 1903 there were
2 ,97l ,343. The area of non, ,tilable land |
assessed has increased from 13,122,16S |
acres to IA ,3S9, l46 acres, and the rate of
assessment has increased from 50 per
acre to approximately 50 so per acre.
The increase in the number of miles
of railroad bed has been from 1850
miles in 1902 to l, 764 miles in 1908. The
rate of assessment has increased from
