Watsburg Times: Basil Hud-
son, the -year-old son of
Mr. S. S. Hudson, met with
sad misfortune last Saturday
morning. While playing near one Of
the dogs. the animal became angry and
attacked the boy. He was knocked
down and the CANNES teeth inflicted
several wounds on his face and head
His eye became very badly swollen,
but the bites are not considered to be
of a very serious nature.
The roads up the river which We're
badly washed out by the flood, are now
in a passable condition. and the farm
ers in that section of the valley are
rapidly getting their fences and fields
in something like their former shape.
On Monday last Mr.. w. L. Bishop
sold his house and lot situated on
Broadway in Milton to Mr.. Alto Rogers,
of this place Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop
went to Walla Walla the first of the
week to see if they could find desir-
able home If suitable piece of prop
erty is found, they intend to reside
there in the future.

Supreme Court Renders Opinion
Of Interest to Many
WILL AFFECT TITLE TO PROPERTY
SETTLES A CASE ON APPEAL
FROM SUPERIOR COURT OF
KING COUNTY.

If you fail to pay your taxes and
they become delinquent, but you after
ward pay them before foreclosure pro-
ceedings are begun, a tax deed issued
to another after you have paid your
taxes will be set aside. So, in cases
of constructive service, the supreme
court holds in the case of Lunry B.
Smith, respondent, versus F. c. Jansen,
appellant.
The appeal was from King county,
and the action was to quiet title
Smith had the title prior to December,
1902, the date on which the county
treasurer gave a deed to Jansen. II
was admitted that the taxes were de-
linquent in 1889. On this delinquency
the tax deed was based. 1t was adj
mitted, too, that Smith paid the taxes
in 1898, which was almost five years
before the foreclosure.
The supreme court says it is not
necessary for a property owner to be
ever on the lookout lest some negli-
gent or corrupt official should cause
or suffer his property to be sold for
tax.
Jansen claimed Smiths proceeding
was a collateral attack on the judg-
ment of foreclosure under which jan
son got his tax deed. The supreme
court says this question is not in
volved at all inasmuch as tax judg-
ments are creatures of the law and
have only such force and effect as the
law gives them.

Behind the scheme to bring colony
of German farmers to Wisconsin is a
colonization company with a capital of

support of Emperor William. Wiscon-

Weston Youth Invited John Bare,

Owen Sprague is back from Enter

John Bare was committed, says the
Weston Leader. Young Sprague him.
self narrowly escaped death at Bare's
hands. and had an exciting experience.
Sprague was employed in livery sta
blee. which Bare visited and asked that
a horse be saddled for him. Sprague
refused and Bare threatened to blow
out his brains with a leveled six shoot
er. He had Sprague in a corner"
and was invited to shoot if he want
ed to, but changed his mind and went
away in search of trouble. Entering
a saloon he shot Johnson in the back
of the head without a word Of warning.
Upon returning to the stable with wea-
pons drawn, he found Sprague again,
but the latter had heard the shooting
elsewhere. He stood not upon the or
der of his going, and managed to elude
the desperate, who secured a horse
near the outskirts of town and made
good his escape. although several shots
were fired at him.

PLAN JU|TE MILL FOR OREGON PEN
Inland Empire Wheatgrowers' Assoeia'
ton Takes the Initiative in the
Movement.

Umatilla county farmers who have
organized the Inland Empire Wheat
growers association, will take up the
matter of starting a jute mill in the
Oregon penitentiary for the purpose
Of furnishing Oregon farmers and
Oregon stockmen with grain and wool
sacks at a reasonable price. says the
East OregOnian.
With this in view a persistent cam
paign for a jute- mill will be started.
Oregon Legislators will be enlisted and
public sentiment will be aroused to
the practicalibity of the scheme. The
exorbitant price of sacks this sea-
son has caused farmers to think about
self protection, and the state jute mill
is the only practical solution of the
question.

Hiqh Taxes Just the Thinu,

With only $S77.5S standing between
the Athena school district and free
dom from debt, ii surely bespeaks much
for the wise policy of a high tax levy
during preiod of prosperity. For
several years the school levy of this
district has stood at Is mills Now that
the Indebtedness has been nearly wiped
out. it is safe to reduce the levy and
still maintain a good school. The pol
icy of taking in and combining with
this district surrounding rural districts
should now b agitated, says the Athena

BIG AGENTS GET THE PASSES
Small Employment Bureaus Register
Kick Against Railroads
CLAIM UNWLRRAnTED Discrimination
IN THE MATTER OF SENDING IA.
BoRERs TO FIELD OF r. r.
CONSTRUCTION WORK.
CLAIM uMWARRAM1ED DISCRIMINATION

Small employment agents are COM
planning of the attitude Of the rail-
roads, woefully short Of labor, toward
the less prominent men in the business
of supplying help. Only the recognize
ed agents of the roads have been per-
mitted to send out men. With 10000
men offered work by the railroads, the
loss of all this business is resented by
the smaller operators.
The railroads will recognize neither
the unofficial employment agents nor
the small sub-contractors in furnishing
transportation. This is the sore point
with the smaller employment agents.
If a ub-contractor asks them for men
and they are ready to be forwarded,
the unofficial labor contractor cannot
get transportation for his people. Nor
can the SUBJ contractor help him out
any. The big contractors are supplied
with transportation and have no trou-
bel in sending men even to the small
sub-contractors.
Railroad officials explain this situa-
ton by showing that to grant trans
portation unfortunately to employ
ment agents claiming to be supplying
railroad laborers would be to run the
risk of having big blocks of transporta-
ton sold in the open market When
they are dealing with employment
agents they know or with the principal
contractors, railroad officials claim they
are perfectly safe in assuming all the
men will be employed on the railroad.
The railroads will not patronize the
free employment bureaus. either, save
through a recognized employment
agent. who may pick up enough men to
fill out a crew at a public employment
bureau. The roads claim that the pub
lie bureaus have nothing to gain by
picking men and they do not do so.

MUCH FREIGHT IS GOING EAST
o. r. G. N. Officials Estimate There
Are 1000 Cars Enroute Between
Portland and La Grande.

1t is estimated by the o. R. & N Of
ficials that there are now 1000 east
bound carloads of freight on the sys-
tenn between Portland and La Grande
says the East OregOnian.
Most of this enormous freight move
ment is lumber destined for Colorado
Nebraska, Utah. Idaho, Kansas and
further eastern points.
There is only the normal amount OF
westbound freight moving now, but
every sidetrack is filled with eastbound
loads. Freight crews are run over the
road with only cabooses, to bring back
eastbound loads, and all the engine
and train crews are in the "chain
ular engine or caboose.
This morning the yards in this city
contained four freight trains at one
time, almost the entire capacity of
the yards being used to hold these
trains.
The rush has been occasioned by
the delay to traffic caused by the
washOuts. While trains were tied up
between Echo and La Grande and
while tracks were being repaired, hum
dreds Of carloads of lumber and other
freight were being loaded at all points
in western Oregon, and now that traf-
fic is resumed the movement amounts
to something in the nature of a
blockade.

He bowed, he said, to the presiding

declared that governments cannot
make rates that will meet the needs

p y y y . L. III ~ Il
WASHINGTON, March SIT Is said
that only four ofthe thirteen members
of the Committee on Privileges and
Elections are inclined to favor the re-
tention in the Senate Of Reed smoos
ofUtah. The four Senators favorable
to Mr.. smoot are Messrs. Foraker
Beyeridge, Hopkins and Dillingham;.
The Senators who are said tobe eth:

Of the committee to submit It's report
not later than April Is. when, Us i'm:
mediate consideration will be asked.
A report Of this sort is privileged,
and viii take precedence oyeraay 9th
er legislation, even the appropriation
bills. The difference Of opinion in
committee among the majority mem
bers who viii favor the elimination Of
smoot from the Senate deltberatson
Is over the constitutional require
ments. Senator Burrows, the chair;
man Of the committee, believes TIT
Mr.. smoot can be excluded from the
Senate and his seat declared vacant
BY a majority vote. Senator Galley
contends that this would be an uncca.
stitutional proceeding. and that senas
tor smoot, Il excluded, nust be eS-
PEELED by a txothirds vote. Ills con-
tention Is that the State Of Utah can
not be denied representation in the
Senate through a majority yots Of
that body. 1tiscertain that the EFFORT
which viii be made to remove sp:oot
from the Senate Will be along the lines
favored by the chairman Of the com.
nittee, Mr.. Burrows, and thai the re-
port viii be one declaring the seat
vacant, with the insistence that ma
tority vote Of the Senate will be suf-
acIent to remove Mr.. smoot from that
body.
No effort has been made to acurate'
ly poll the Senate ON this question, but
1t Is the concensus Of opinion Of the
committee membership that twill be

impossible to secure a two.thlrds ma % z.
