ASSESSORS TERMS OF OFFICE
Do Those Now In Hold for Two Years
Longer?

Salem,-Do County Assessors, now
in office, hold two years longer, under
the act of 1908, extending the term of
office to four years, is a question
which will be submitted to the At.
tcrney-General for an opinion. The
assessors now in office were elected
under a law which prescribed two
years as the term of office. In 1903
the Legislature amended the law so
as to read that there shall be elected
at the general election by the quali-
ed electors of each county in this
state a County Assessor. who shall
hold his Office for the term of four
years, and until his successor is elect
ed and qualified" There is nothing
in the act which specifies whether as
SCISSORS now in Office shall be affected
by the new law. 1t has been gener-
ally supposed that the present incum.
bents would retire when their two.
year terms have ended, but there may
be some doubt about this,
On the other hand, it is a general
rule that laws changing the length of
term of office do not affect incum.
bents unless the intention to do so
is clear. In the present instance, the
words there shall be elected" would
seem to indicate an intention that the
law should affect only those elected in
the future, but as these words were
in the old law and were merely re.
peated in the amendatory act. they
may not have any particular meaning
in that respect.

Grand Ronde Apples Go Fast.

La Grande.-Within the past three
weeks the Blue Mountain Fruit Com

non, one of La Grand's leading
grocers. has shipped out two carloads
of apples and several carloads of
potatoes of late. About 10000 boxes
of saleable apples were raised in the
Cove district alone in the year 1903,
and a much larger crop is expected

Blood Poisoning and Puerpal Fever
-Formalin is the most powerful anti
septic agent known to scIeace, and If 1t
Is really an antidote for blood poisoning
medical practice has made some ad-
vancement Still its use must be ac-
companied by the greatest caution. 1t
is given simultaneously by using 10000
Of formalin In deel-normal salt solu-
ton. OF this, sixty centimeters is
hypodermically administered, and In an
hsur the patients temperature may be
reduced from 104 to 90. The primary
effect of introducing formalin into the
arterlal circulation is to convert the
blood intself into an antiseptic solu-
ti0n.

BLACK SEA FLEET MUST GO.
Russia Again Negotiating for Passage
Through the DardaneIes.

New York, Feb. 24.-The Herald
has the following cable from its St.
Petersburg correspondent:
81 have received further corrobora-
tion that active negotiations are in
progress for the passage of the Oar
danelles by the Russian Black Sea
fleet. | am further informed that this
is the reason why such pains have
Teen taken of late to obtain the good
will of Austria. Germany will very
probably be willing to further Russia's S
plan, being glad enough to find there
by means of realizing her well-known
ambitions in Asia Minor and let Rus
sia weaken herself in fighting the Far
East. Russia knows all this, but is
nevertheless eager to get her ships
through, even if 1t is necessary to
adopt the subterfuge of altering their
appearance, Disgusting them as mer-
chantmen. The Porte is almost will
ing, and if England makes any OBJ
lection to the passage it will be the
signal for an immediate advance to-
ward India.
The Russian government has just
chartered from a local firm of ship
owners four ships, which sail from
Black Sea ports with cargoes
of coal. Very high terms were given,
and in case of capture the government
will pay the full value of the vessels.
"The order of the day is that Japan
will be allowed to occupy Corea. The
fleet has received instructions not to
engage in any fight at present, but to
remain quiet on defensive until the be-
ginning of July, when half of the
whole Baltic feet will be dispatched
to the Far East"

that the Sumpter Valley and Bonita

cured a part of the right of way and
the surveying corps is busy locating
the remainder. The enterprise has
been financed, and it is given out that
it will be a steam road instead of an

HOW MEXICO SUPERVISES
RAIL WAY SCHEDULES.
An Experience of the Late Capt. t.
ID. Kline.

An Experience of the Late Capt. T..
ID. Kline.
The late general manager of the
Central of Georgia, Mr.. T. D. Kline
used to tell a story about his expert
ence as general superintendent of the
Mexican National Railway. He had
made a schedule for passenger trains
and under the Mexican law submitted
it to the proper authorities.
Like many other railroads the
trains sometimes failed to arrive on
time, and the morning of the first fail
ure he was called on by an officer and
informed that he was wanted" He
went, of course, and took with him
his interpreter and was told that he
had been brought before the board be-
cause a train had failed to keep the
appointed schedule. He explained that
such things would occur sometimes,
but the Mexican authorities pointed to
the schedule, and told Mr.. Kline that
he must keep it, or change it, to one
that he could keep. They excused him
that time, but he was told that the
next time a train failed to arrive on
time he would be punished. The
trains were prompt after that.
