of time goods they had found profitable TO
handle. DR.. Morrison will sail on the steamer

M. MURAvIEFFs RETIREMENT.
Why He Did Not Desire to Head the Peace
Mission

Paris July 13.-The St Petersburg correspond
ent OF the Echo de Paris states that the de-
clination Of NJ. Muravief to head the Russian
peace mission was based partly on the state Of
his health and partly on the fact that his al
lowance for expenses to cover the period OF his
sojourn in America was only $1,000 rubes,
which amount he considered insufficient owing TO
the great cost Of living in the United States
N. Witte twice refused to become successor Of
NJ. Muravieh on the mission on the ground that
he did not wish to be a mere fgurehead in the
transmission to Emperor Nicholas Of the peace
terms offered by Japan. His selection, there
fore, cannot but be taken TO mean that the En-
peror has yielded TO his insisteuce that real
powers plenipotentiary be conferred upon Rus

Campaign Has Been Commenced by the
Irrigon Fruit Growers.
The Irrigon fruitgrowers' union
meets Saturday evening at the school
house to discuss reforestation in all
its phases. Farmers and fruitgrowers
about Irrigon are much interested in
the matter, and it is predicted that
fully 100000 trees will be planted
this season for windbreaks alone. The
union has spent considerable time and
monney in making experiments of
different kinds and in securing opin-
ions from forest experts.
Owing to their rapid growth and
hardy nature, Carolina and Lom-
hardy poplars are in great favor.
By irrigation they are made to grow
from eight to ~ feet the first year.
Some farmers will also plant walnut
and hickory trees every 80 or 40 feet,
which will ultimately be source of
revenue and gradually replace the
poplars and locusts. Others owning
orchards will plant different species
of the mulberry, which, owing to the
absence of acid in the berries, makes
them especially desirable. as birds
will not molest the orchards so long as
they can get other fruits or berries.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Special Sheep Tax Law Declared Un-
constitutional by Judge Ellis.

Special Sheep Tax Law Declared Un-
constitutional by Judge Ellis.
BY decision of Circuit Judge Ellis
the law passed at the last session of
the legislature imposing tax upon
all sheep brought into this state from
outside points, has been declared un-
constitutional. The decision was
given in the case of w. P. Reecer vs..
Umatilla county, which has been
pending since last fall. After having
p3id the tax imposed by the stock
deputy Mr.. Reecer brought suit to re-
cover the amount on the ground that
the law was unconstitutional.
The decision of Judge Ellis that the
law is invalid holds that it is such
because it il a per capita tax and not
a valuation; and also because it pro-
vides for the taking of property with
out due process of law.
The above decision is one Of great
Importance to the sheep interests of
Eastern Oregon, and settles question
that has been in dispute ever since
the law was passed last winter. 1t is
thought that the decision given in
this district will also be observed in
the others, and that no further efforts
will be made to enforce the law.

Eighteen book agents. Well.

citizen yesterday afternoon, says the
Walla Walla Union. 'sTwo rival
companies are thoroughly and syste-
matically working the town, and the
amount of money they are taking
away with them is not small,'' con-
tinued the gentleman.
"Tbe rival agents are selling refer
ence books published by two rival
publishing houses. One company has
1S men aud women in the city and
the other has three. don't object
to their selling their books if a person
really wants them, but l understand
they are resorting to all sorts of ruses
to make the people believe their child
rem need them, in order to loosen up
the purse strings of the parents.
"Just now, as school is ready to
open, and there is a change in the text
books, the willy agent attempts to
leave the impression that their books
are a necessity to the children in
order that they may be properly
equipped for the school room Monday
morning. They have a great lot of
Endorsements from teachers and prin-
cipals as to the merits of the books and
are showing these to the unsophisti-
Gated.
II understand they twist the mean
ing of the words in such manner as
to make the person believe that the
books are required in the city schools.

teachers would have given the letters
these agents presume to have if they
had known the way they would be
used"
