just now to note the wonderful im-

firm of Sawyer & Filley, has made in
his always up-to.date place of business,

To begin with, the Chambers build.

room is now devoted to Mr.. Filley's
growing trade. The carpenter, paper.
hanger and painter, has each left evi.
dence OF artistic taste and good judg.
ment in designing and planning the
interior. Each branch of the trade
has 1t appropriate space apart from
other lines. Aside from the full as.

there are scores OF show cases devoted
to soaps, perfumeries and toilet articles
OF all descriptions, and at intervals all
over the large floor space. plates glass

which should characterize all acces.

BELGIAN HAREs A PEsT.-A report
that Belgian hares have become a great
pest in the CGur d'Alene country,
where, few years ago, Peter Joseph,
living on the reservation, placed pair
of the timid little creatures for pets.
The wonderful increase OF this little
animal is proverbial, and now thou
sands are ravaging adjacent orchards,
gardens and farms. One loss is of six
acres of oats so badly damaged that
the crop was left ungarnered; another
loss is of crop rendered worthless on
strip OF land half a mile long and
over 100 feet wide. The Indians siren
uously object to killing the animals
believing that it will bring bad luck
The white population will, however,
probably risk the ill to come by pro.
viding for determination of an existing
evil.

The VeXed Question.

Illness IF the Governor, last S1tur-
day, prevented him from dcliverin g
hi- promised address before the Thurs
ton County Tax League, but Chair
man Rockwell OF the Tax Commits
sion Appeared and presented sn eX-
ceedingly interesting review OF the
subject from the standpoint vi an
o.liccr charged with the important
duty Of d,vi.ing mean, for lessening
the burden Of taxation.
His remarks show that the gentle
man has given the matter much study
and that he has devised means that
will accomplish much in that line Of
effort is indicated by the plans suggest
ed. One OF them, to keep the counties
from paying an unequal and at times
excessive portion Of State tax, is pro-
posed by the radical plan of diyorcing
the State revenue entirely from the
assessment roll, and base it upon a
reasonable tax for certain classes Of
business that own but little realty or
the basis OF fair levy for the amount
personal property which can be made
OF business they do and the protection
they receive from the law. He very
properly thinks that an income, or q
license tax, on telegraph, telephone
insurance or any other foreign corpor-
alton should pay as fair a proportion
towards the common veal, as the
merchant, or the millman, the foun-
dryman or the farmer, or anybody else
having tangible property for the As
SCISSOR to use as a means OF guessing at
the benefits derived from the public
service.
He favored assessment at full value,
because the law says it shall be done,
but acknowledges the difficulty OF
making all property return its fair
proportion. The desire to escape tax
alton is universal failing and an in
suparable obstruction to a fair pay
ment of taxes, and the speaker thought
that until higher scale OF moral recti.
tude could be reached, it might prove
unsuccessful, but be favored an effort
to make tax-dodging as much a mat.
ter of obloquy as any other form OF
cheating. He thought that to pro-
mote the disposition to pay on full
value would ultimately result in lower
taxes and greater need of general
prosperity.
Another plan for lessening taxes
that the commission have in active
development is, the listing OF many
kinds OF property that have hitherto
escaped taxation. Among these classes
have been notably the fishermen, and
many thousands OF dollars invested in
fish traps and bringing in large and
steady revenue to their owners, have
never till this year been on the tax
roll. Strange as it may appear, there
are still other prominent occupations
and resources that have paid nothing
Tor support of the laws and system OF
government instituted for the benefit
OF all.
1t is a matter OF congratulation that
the State has a board composed of
men of practical good sense, who are
bending their energies for formulating
laws that will make the object of as.
sessment fair, equable, uniform and
just.

newspaper tilt with Henry M. Whitney,

over an opinion expressed by the Pres.

A New FORM OF POSTAL ORDER.-
Another change in the form OF postal
orders is under contemplation by the
Department, that will tend to keep
sharpers from beating the government
out of money. The figure-margin EN-.
ployed on the old form will probably
be restored, OF which the Postmaster
cuts or tears off all figures in excess Of
the amount named in the order. An.
other change will probably be to place
the address as we'll as the name OF the
payee on the order. 1t will require
more time to make out the new form,
but il is thought will add materially
to its safety. The new form will proba.
bly, be in general use by the first OF
