LEGISLATIVE NOTES.
Loose Management In State Institutions
Alleged.

There promises to be a big change in
the management of state institutions as
the result of Investigations of a special
committee appointed by the present leg
islature, says a Montpelier despatch to
the Springfield Republican. The commit
tee has made no report and will continue
ITS investigation during the 10 daysi
Thanksgiving recess. Enough has been
learned of its findings however. to war
rent the statement that there has been
large amount of loose management
discovered in the institutions it is inves-
tigating, and 1t is probable that some
important legislation regulating the man.
agement of state institutions will be re-
commended The committee has been
able to look into the affairs of only two
institutions, but the people of the state
hope that its power will be enlarged so
as to enable it to investigate the man.
agement of every institution in the state.

There has been much discussion as to
the origin of the word Tip" now so wide
ly used, and of the practice which it sig
nifies. An English paper says that CEN
turtles ago in coffee houses in England
boxes lettered with the words, ITO insure
promptness," were displayed prominently
and the customers Were expected to drop
coins for the walters in these boxes. In
the time the initials of the three words
came into current usage. Certainly it is
an ingenious explanation, whether abso-
lutely accurate or not.

While Walter Crosby was a.

house, which is about seven miles
up Willow creek, was broken into

Peddling the Mysterious.

A brace of fortune tellers have
Just finished the town after stay
of about two weeks. Their valua-
ble revelations comprised chiefly
so-called messages from the dead,
from flood victims who from the
other side of the Styx are still dis
turbed about their worldly pos
sessions and want their relatives
to have what's coming to them.
Another OF their long suits was
divinlng future events. One OF
these was that next season Main
street would be wiped out by a
flood downsthe branch on which is
located tie power house. Many
of those who parted with their
money to this species of fiy-by-
nights were really agitated over
the unreal and unnatural state
ments made to them. Our brief
with planchette boards
and the like incline us to say that
if these messages do actually come
from spirit intelligences there is
greater percentage of idiotic and
hopeless liars on the other side
than on this.

TAKEN TO ASYLUM.
DeHfented SheeQhcrdcr in bad
Condition.

VIM. Letfler who was employed
by the Penland Land & Livestock
Company as. a sheepherder, Was
brought to this city Monday even
ing in demeDted condition by z.
&. Creswell. Lefilier was badly
off and acted in a very strange
manner. He came here only a
a short time ago from Wyoming
and went to work for the PenIand
COMPANY. Monday he ltfG the
sheep which he was looking after
ana started doWu the road toward
Heppner armed with double
bitted axe and a big knife. Com
ing to Pres Cfeswell's place be
stopped and in his rambling talk
seemed to be greatly agitated and
alarmed. His hallucination was
that some one was trying to Kill
him, and he was trying to get
away. He said that he hated to
kill anybody but guessed that he
would have to.
The unfortunate man was taken
before Judge Ayers and DIR. Kist-
ner and was examined and adj
judged insane. Sheriff SHUT ac-
companied by Joseph Boyer took
Lefiler to the asylum yesterday.

rather a complicated problem.
The increased assessment as
placed by Mr.. Cove will raise the
assessment Of the railroad com
pany in the aggregate about $780,
600, making an increase ia the
amount of taxes to be paid OF about
$4,000, provided that the levy is
the same as last year.
Mr.. Cove has not yet completed
the footings, however, he is of the
opinion that the amount Of tax
able property this year will be
100000 greater than last.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
Matter Of Railroad Assessment
Comes Up.

The Morrow County Board of
Equalization consisting Of Judge
T. W. Ayers, County Clerk Vaw-
ter Crawford and Assessor Howard
Cove, is now in session at the
court house and will continue in
session the balance of the week.
The board has been getting
along very we'll with the work and
so far there have been very few
protests in relation to the assess
ment roll, however, there is one
important question that is occu-
pying some attention and this is
the matter of determining the as
sessment aud value Of the O. E. &
n. Co.'S property in this county.
The company was formerly as
sessed at $4,000 per mile on the
main line and $4,000 per mile on
the Heppner branch in this county,
but Howard Cove, the present as
SCISSOR has raised the assessment to
$500 per mile on the main line
and $500 on the branch. The
assessor has received notice that
J. W. Morrow, the 0. Z. 4 n. tax
commissioner will be here this
week to confer with the board in
relation to the assessment.
la getting at and determining
the value Of the railroad property
in order to get a basis from which
TO make the assessment, Mr.. Cove
has spent considerable time and
has given the matter quite lot of
attention, using all the information
possible that he could obtain. Con-
siderable information was gained
from the sworn statements Of the
railroad officials as published in
the report of the interstate CON-
merce commission.
In determining values of rail-
road property the law provides
that the assessor shall ascertain
the original cost of building the
road and the cost of replacement,

This plea for quiet and more sane OBJ
servance OF the national holiday was con-
sidered well founded; but as there was in
existence a city ordinance which. with
slight amendment would cover the case.
It was suggested that the matter be taken
before the board of aldermen.
Accordingly the physicians. in company
with Chairman Luther appeared before
the board, stated their case and asked
that Immediate action be taken.
The aldermen declined TO make the
change suggested. asserting that there
was sufficient law to answer all purposes.
All that was necessary for the police 10
do was to apprehend the small boys who
persisted In discharging weapons when
upon the public highways
The feasibility Of arresting many OF the
offenders can readily be appreciated
There were several specious pleas for
the boys. the bottom line OF which was
that boys will be boys;>that the aldermen
and physicians were once boys, and that
the Glorious Fourth comes once a year
There was one individual who made re-
marks OF an irritating nature. He hoped
that the small boys would resist arrest
and that the big boys would help them
do so.
Now II happens that there is a provi-
sion OF the law which declares that pis-
sold 10 boy who is under the age OF Is
years, unless upon the written assent of
his parent or guardian.
This morning George A. Holloway, a
salesman at l3 Weybossst street, was ar
raigned In the Sixth district court upon
three complaints. viz Selling TO William
German, under the age OF Is years n re-
volver: to William German a package of
cartridges and TO Everett Hilton. also
~ %
cartridges
Holloway at frst pleaded not guilty and
was required to give surety in $500 on each
complaint to appear for trial next Fri
day.
BY advice OF counsel he almost imme-
diately retracted. pleaded guilty and was
fined $40 and costs on each complaint, in
all $3.50.
Commissioners Luther subsequently ex-
pressed the thought that the speech made
before the board Of aldermen had been
sufficiently answered.
He added that every boy under the age
OF l5 who is arrested between now and
July 5th. for violation OF the ordinance
governing the use of fire arms upon a
public highway, will be required 10 tell
OF whom he purchased his revolver and
cartridges or who gave him the written
authority 10 obtain the same.
Ten minutes after Holloway had been
put through the court the telephone bell
at the headquarters began to ring
The calls were from dealers in firearms
and blank cartridges who desired TO learn
what new order had been issued relative
10 their business.
Each was told that no new order had
been issued: but that efforts would be
made to enforce standing law. That was
