Marion county will be assessed ut
foll cash value this year, according to
the Salem Statesman. which contains
the following mention of the subject
In Its issue of Thursday, March 1:
The property owners of Marion
county will be called upon to keep
down their rising ire this spring as
the assessors deputies come around
to list their property for taxation pur-
poses. new plan of assessment has
been adopted and It is in accordance
not only with the letter and spirit of
the law, but with the best modern
Ideas OF taxation everywhere. Prop
erty Is to be listed by the assessor at
Its reasonable cash value or nearly so
basis of all assessment.
This may not be popular to begin
with and good many persons may be
inclined to feel hurt. when they see
their valuation largely increased over
that of past years, but so long as the
valuations are In equal proportion
throughout the county, the system is
the best and most equitable that can
be followed, and in the end will make
no difference in the amount or pro-
portion of individual tax paid.
For instance. II the county valua-
ton be 80 millions, 1t will be neces-
sary to levy one-third as many mills
on the dollar to raise the necessary
county tax or state tax or school tax
as would be necessary II the valuation
were 10 millions, nor will the proper
ton of the individual be any greater
The result in Multnomah county this
year Is an illustration, where the levy
Is only 15 mills altogether. whereas 4,
has been 40 mills heretofore.
There Is no good argument for as
sessing property at one-third or less
of its value. There is nothing to gain
by 1t and there is great deal to lose
First, the valuation of county OF
state makes poor showing abroad
and second, there is always a high
levy on low valuation. which fright
ems prospective homeseekers and in
vestors. An honest cash value assess
ment. with an economical adminlstra-
tion of affairs makes the best COM
bination for any county.

HORSES SELL WELL.
Herd of 800 Head Brings S32.5O I'm
Montana

One of the biggest horse deals that
has ever been made in the state is
one that was consummated in the
Ruby valley last week when the big
band of Raymond horses was sold to
a North Dakota buyer, says the Dillon,
Mont, Record.
The deal included 800 head of the
famous Belmont stock farm horses
owned by the Hillhonse Raymond es-
tate. The deal was made by w. II.
Raymond, administrator of the estate,
and Buyer Hart of North Dakota, and
runs up into the thousands.
The price reported as having been
paid was $3.50 per head straight
through. All of the horses of the
Raymond estate were sold except
those which were left to Mr.. Lane and
which he picked out from the bunch
before the deal was made. 1t is stated
that all the animals purchased will be
shipped at once to North Dakota.
The Raymond bunch of horses is
probably better known than any other
of its kind in the state and horses
from the Belmont farm can be found
in every part of the state.

Lewiston, March 2.--Booze on the
be cheaper and better. Yesterday
Agent Jordan, of the Northern Paci-
fic, received notification from Henry
Blakely. general western freight agent
of the company, announcing that here
after shipments of liquor for reserva-
tion points could be received.
The action of the company is prob
ably due to the decision in the Dick
haDeas corpus case, in which the fed
eral court of appeals held that the
liquor prohibition clause of the treaty
with the Indians was unconstitutional.
The act opening the reservation
aside from denying the right to sell
liquor there, also made 1t a peniten-
tiary offense to introduce liquor on the
reservation lands. So long as liquor
was destined to some point beyond the
reservation, and not to be unloaded
there, the goods could be carried over
the land.
In view of the fact that all the n.
r. stations on the Clearwater and
Lapwai branches are on the reserva-
ton, the company up to this time has
refused to carry shipments of liquor,
unless already consumed. for the rea-
son that it would necessarily have to
be unloaded on the reservation at one
of the stations, and this would be a
violation of the law.
The condition resulted in develop
ing a large freighting business from
Lewiston and Kendrick, the closest
points to the Pierce country, to the
Elk City mining region, to the Camas
prairie and to Buffalo Hump. Even
prior to the decision in the Dick case,
there was also a good deal of liquor
hauled to reservation points, where
"bootlegging" joints were maintained.
Inasmuch as these latter shipments
had to be made secretly, usually being
sent out of the city at night there
had to be added to the ordinary cost
some extras, because the man who
Carried the goods" also took a chance
at the penitentiary.
Now, by the action of the railroad
company, in accepting shipments the
old order of things has entirely passed
away. The company will haul beer
to Sites from Lewiston for 3S cents
per 100 pounds and win haul whiskey
and wine for so cents. This is per-
haps cne-siXth of the old cost of haul
ing.

1t is a sad story, one of death and
serious injury to large numbers of
men, which is told by Postmaster
resolutions of inquiry regarding the
casualties to railroad mail clerks in
troduced by Senator Tillman.
Mr.. Tillman, in asking for the pas
sage of his resolution, explained that
he had been reading various newspa-
per reports of railroad wrecks in
which mail clerks had been killed or
injured, and that he felt that congress
should have at its disposal all the in
formation available on the question,
with a view of enacting suitable leg
islation for the protection of this class
of government employees, should such
action be advisable.
Mr.. Cortelyou reports that during
the year 1901 there were S97S railway
postal clerks in the country, and that
during that year there were S25 rail-
way accidents to trains hauling postal
cars. Seven clerks were killed out

slightly injured.

clerks have been killed, 444 have been

The Tillman resolution was directed
especially to the character of con-
struction of railway postal cars. He
wanted to find out 20 what extent this
loss of life and injury were due to
poorly built cars In late years it has
been the policy of the government to
demand that mail cars be built in part
of steel, and Mr. Tillman wanted
to know how such cars had withstood
the shock of accidents as compared

full effect Nearly all of these have
since passed through the shops for
general repairs or for rebuilding. But
it is obvious that cars built as long
ago as 1869 and 1870, as some of them
were, and in the years Immediately
afterwards, cannot be made accident
proof, even by going through the
shops, and it is quite possible that
congress may take up the question of
radically Fastening the retirement of
such cars and the building of those of
more modern type.
Five of the cars now in use were
built in 1869, three in 1870, one in
1871, six in 1872, eight in 1873, one

If there is to be such action in con-
gress, the Tillman resolution of in
quiry will be the starting point for it.
The record of deaths and accidents is
serious one, and the senate, at least,
seems willing to do something to
shorten it If possible.
