STATE GOVERNORS SHOES.
Hobo Dressed Up In Governor John
sons Fancy Kids.

At Spokane John A. Johnson, gov
ernor of Minnesota. came near going
shoeless to the coast and the porter
of the same car all but had to use a
barrel in lieu of clothing.
A hobo in some way got into the car
and needing a pair of shoes badly and
seeing the governors on the outside of
his stateroom, took them. He next
needed some trousers and the porter's
wearing apparel appealed to him. He
took them.
The hobo then went into the toilet
room and locked himself in. When
the train reached Spokane the door
was broken down and the tramp Sc
cured. His borrowed apparel was
stripped from him and he was taken
to the police court where a fine of
$50 and costs was placed aalnst him,
The shoes were returned to the
governor and it is doubtless If he yet
knows how near he came to being
without shoes.

An Old Description of the BustIins
Dutch Town.
There may not be many points Of re-
semblancc between Harlem in New
York as 1t is at present and Haarlem In
Holland as 1t stood more than cen
fury ago. The following translation
from an old description Of the Euro
pean HARLEM shows, however, that II
was quite bustllng place:
"Haarlem, that wonderful grotesque,
with its canal where the blue water
tremhles, and the church where the
golden glass windows fame, and the
stone balcony where the linen dries In
the sun, and the roofs green as hops.
and the storks that flap their wings
round the town clock, stretching out
their necks high In the air and catch
ing the drops of rain in their beaks-
and the needless burgomaster who
strokes his double chin with his hand,
and the infatuated florist who grows
thin, his eyes fixed on tulip. and the
Bohemienne who falls fainting on her
mandolin, and the old man who plays
the remmelpot, and the child who
blows out a bladder, and the drinkerS
who smoke In the dingy wine shop
and the maidservant at the hostelry
who hangs up pheasant at the win

TAXATION IN wALLowA.
Comprehensive Review of the Assess-
ment Question.

The following comprehensive and
highly lucid review. of the questions
OF assessment and taxation. is from
the Ledger and Democrat of Lostine,
Wallowa county. The article is as
follows:
The increase in the assessment of
property in this county from less than
SO, 100000 to more than $4,5OO, 900
has provoked criticism from some
quarters, and the fear Is expressed
that the payment of taxes under the
increased valuations will produce
bankruptcy.
In truth there is no ground for the
criticism nor good reason for the fear
of increased taxation. 1t requires a
certain sum OF money to pay the ex-
penses of the county government each
year, and the levy made by the county
court is determined by the amount of
taxable property as shown by the as
sessment roll. Last year the levy was
2S mills on a valuation of less than
$4,000, 900. This year the same amount
of taxes can be raised with a levy of
less than Il mills.
1t is true that taxes will be increased
in some individual cases. but that is
caused by the fact that heretofore
some classes of property have been
| assessed ridiculously low, and all out
of proportion to other property. As
an illustration the best irrigated lands
in the valley were assessed last year
and for several years previous at $S
per acre, while the same land was
selling in the market at $25 to $40
! per acre.
This year, in an effort to get the
assessment near a cash value. the as
SCISSOR has placed the assessment of
the best land at $50 per acre and
other land in proportion, while the
value of other classes of property have
been increased correspondingly.
The law plainly directs the assessor
to assess property at Its true cash
value and that is not only the lawful
way, but 1t is the Just way and gives
an assessment that distributes the
burden of taxation equitably upon
each class OF property as far as it IS
possible to do so. Assessor Pace Is II
be commended rather than criticised
for endeavoring to give the people OF
this county a legal and just assess
ment rather than the "hit or miss
methods so long in vogus.

"The baboons were great big, human

Most remarkable is the character OF
the sounds produced in relation to the
instruments played upon. These in
struments seem much too fiimsy to pro-
duce metallic and far reaching sounds.
The sound producing portion of the
wings Is unlike the musical instru-
ments of man. But the frightened,
parchment-like sounding board and the
manner I'm which the wings are scraped
together correspond somewhat to n
stringed instrument With the crick-
cts proper the wings are raised almost
or quite vertically while STIMULATING.
With the locusts the sound producing
organs are elevated. so as to permit a
scraping motion.
Always the musical organs are at
tached to the fore wings. The hind
wings are used only for flying. The
fore wings OF the cricket are for the
most part taken up by the sound pro-
ducing. tightly stretched portion. This
part is strongly but openly veined. and
the toothed vein or bow extends en-
tirely across this horizontal portion
near its base. The roughened edge,
where the toothed bow scrapes. Is upon

fore wings are precisely alike. so that
