SAND ISLAND QUESTION.
U. s. District Attorney Believes Ore
aon Has a Right to II.

United States District Attorney Johr
Hall believes that Oregon has Iega
cinch in les contention with washing
ton state over title TO Sand island and
the right Of the oregon fisheries de-
partment to collect fishing licenses
there. In 1864 the government recog-
nized the right OF this state to the
island by making application TO the
Legislature for the reservation OF the
sandy formation. The state granted
the request OF the government and set
aside Sand island as a reserve for ma
tional use. District Attorney Hall
says Of the matter: oregon should
raise at least $1,000 or $4,000 IL neces-
sary, to contest its claims for the own
ership Of Sand island. In my mind
there is little question as TO It's right
to claim ownership. but since such
friction has been aroused between the
officials Of the two states, and since
Washington, as 1t Is announced, pro-
poses to sell the island to private
parties, the contention should be defn-
itely determined. The government ac-
knowledged Oregon's ownership In
1864, when 1t applied to our legisla-
ture for the island to be ceded to the
government" In this connection 1t is
interesting to note the official descrip-
tion OF the boundary line between Ore
gon and Washington. The boundaries
Of this state are stipulated as follows
in the act Of congress: Beginning one
marine league at sea, due west from
the point where the 42d parallel OF
porth latitude intersects the same;
thence northerly, at the same distance
from the line Of the coast, lying west
and opposite the state, including all
islands within the Jurisdiction OF the
United States, to point due west and
opposite the middle OF the north ship
channel Of the Columbia river; thence
easterly, to and up the middle channel
of said river, and where 1t is divided
by the islands, up the middle of the
widest channel thereof" etc. The same
description Of the boundaries of Wash-
ington is given in the act of congress,
admitting that state to the union. In
consequence there has been continu-
al wrangle over the possession Of the
island. Those who have recently been
arrested will likely apply for writs Of
habeas corpus, and in that way bring
the question before the attention Of the
federal authorities.

Some Citizens Nay Be Surprised
at This but Every One viii
Have to Pay.
NO EXEMPTIONS ALLOWED
The Number of New Tax Payers
Will Run Up Into the Hun.
dreds and Vigorous OBJ
.jecti0ns Are Expected

There are going TO be great many
surprised residents of Clatsop county
this year. Heretofore exemptions have
always been allowed in compiling the
assessment roll of the county, but this
year there will be no exemptions.
Everybody who owns property, real or
personal, will be taxed, and, as many
were never before assessed, they will
be astonished when they receive no.
tice to call and settle.
The special session of the legislature
is responsible for the new order of
things. At the special gathering the
assessment law was allowed. The bill
was passed in very bad shape, it ap-
pears, and attached to it was a provi-
sion that il should become effective 30
days after its approval. Now, the as
SCISSOR is supposed to make his levies
on March /, and the new bill did not
become effective until March "a. To
this circumstance is due the fact that
the usual stipulation for exemptions
does not hold good on this years as
sessment.
Assessor Cornelius stated yesterday
that he at first supposed he would be
able to make the usual exemptions but
he communicated with other county
assessors and learned that they were
not doing so. Later he consulted Dis
trict Attorney Allen and that official
advised him to make no exemptions.
Accordingly, he is taxing everybody
on personal holdings and the number
Of taxpayers in Clatsop county will, as
a result, be greater this year than ever
before.
Heretofore the assessor has always
allowed exemptions of $780," said Mr..
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-08-13

Cornelius yesterday. Il have made
personal property assessments in the
past by levying on mans possessions,
and then going over the roll and re-
ducing each assessment in the sum OF
$500, the amount Of the exemption.
Many persons owned property Of less
value than $500 and were not assessed.
However. this year all win be taxed.
For a time | thought 1t would be
all right to go ahead and make the
personal property assessments as they
have been made in the past: but there
was bound to be row. The owners of
timber lands would complain. / was
assured. and, as other assessors We're
strictly with the letter of
the law, deemed it expedient to fol-
low suit. Many persons win conse-
quently be taxed who have never be-
fore been assessed, and there will, /
suppose. be lots of kicking. The new
order of things means that everything
must be taxed, and doctors. lawyers
and such people viii be required to
pay taxes this year on personal prop
erty. The number of new taxpayers
will run into the hundreds. The ex-
emption provision of the law will be
in effect for next years assessment,
and $500 will be taken from each as
The amount of last year s exemptions
was about $4,000.
Assessor Cornelius is of the opinion
that this years assessment roll will be
just about as large as last years. The
roll is not yet made up, but the as
SCISSOR is industriously at work on il.

COLONIAL FURNITURE.
History of Local Factory and Ex
ceIience of Its Wares.

The F. w. Ley & Co. Furniture
company, No. Alb and 420 High ave-
nue. west, is one of the Institutions
that is helping to make Oskaloosa
famous This great industry started
a few years ago when Fred Ley, who
was an expert upholsterer, passed
through the city. He liked the looks
of the town and thought an uphol-
steering shop would pay. The bust
ness grew until the company now has
salesroom of forty by one hundred
feet and basement of the same di-
mansions, full of goods, a two story
factory forty by seventy-five feet,
and twelve men are employed
The company is now adding to
their other departments that of the
manufacture of old Colonial furni-
ture and they are getting some nice
orders. The pieces are made up to
order as desired by customers.
The couch business has had a
marvellous increase and growth until
now it is hard to keep up with the
demands of the trade. The line of
coucnes from a few dollars to $4,000
is meeting with a wonderful sale.
