Should Pay Taxes.

The assessment rolls are nearly readv
for the payment of taxes. On the rolls
the Democrat is unable to find the
names of Montgomery Ward & Co. and
Sears, Roebuck & Co. For some reason
or other these people have not been
assessed though doing big business in
Oregon. They take q great deal OF
money out of the valley without putting
much in except as q rule some very
cheap grade goods. People who support
them might we'll stop and think whether
it is fair deal tor the taxpayers of the
state, the merchants who pay big
lump of the taxes, besides keeping up
great many enterprises through their
personal Iibsralitv. such as subscribing
for new woolen mills. etc., things Mont.
gomery Ward & Co., and the other
eastern concerns Of like character never
do. These sre things worth thinking
about before sending your money for
things YOU can get just as cheap at
home and know what you are doing

PRICES TOO HIGH.
Frank Lee Says Wool Growers
are Excited.

Frank Lee, the prince of wool
buyers, arrived in this city Mon
day evening from his home in San
Francisco.
Mr., Lee has made this territory
for many years and has a wide
acquaintance in Eastern Oregon.
In speaking of the wool market
Mr.. Lee said:
"It appears to me that the WOO
growers are laboripg under excite
ment in holding for prices that are
not warranted by the condition OF
the market.
"E ,stern Oregon growers are
asking prices that are equal to the
best prices of Australian wools.
Gall Of the manufacturers prefer
the Australian product and are
willing to give little more for il
than for the domestic wools.
"Under present conditions buy.
ers will not be able to do much
business.
Mr.. Lee intends to be in Hep
pner for a couple of months.

Heavy Sentence for Davis.

In the presence OF a crowd which filed
the large court room to it's fullest capac-
ity, ex-Deputy Sheriff G. P. Davis, was
this morning, sentenced to serve term
of five years in the Oregon penitentiary
at Salem, and in addition to pay a fine
of $S,4L0. This sum is twice the amount
of which Mr.. Davis was convicted OF hav-
ing em mbezzled. He was turned over to
the sheriff at once and will probably be
taken to Salem in a few days.
About three minutes before the hour
appointed for the passing OF sentence,
Judge Ellis entered the room and called
for the defendant, G. P. Davis. He was
brought upstairs by Deputy Sheriff Funk
and was accompanied by his son, Paul.
After a short consul alton with his law
yers in the attorneys room, he entered
with firm step and upright head, taking
bis seat in ont and to the left of the
bench.
At the command of Judge Ellis. Davis
arose and with hands c!asped behind his
back, stood unmoved during the entire
time that sentence was being pronounced.
marked contrast to him was the de-
meanor OF Judge Ellis, who was visibly
effected at being compelled to perform
so difficult task as passing sentence
upon a man who had been his friend and
nelghbor for a number Of years. The
kind heart Of the judge undoubtedly
shrank from this task as it never has
from any other. His voice trembled,
end at times, il seemed as il i: was al
most choked with emotion, while only
once during the passing of the sentence,
and then only for an instant. did bis eyes
meet those OF the prisoner at the be-.
Just at the close of bis remarks he look
ed Davis in the face as he said: 81
want to assure you, that l have no feel
ing in my heart, othes then kindness
toward you" he then dropped bis eyes
and with trembling voice pronounced
the sentence.

February 6. The inhabitants, panic
stricken, abandoned their homes and
families and are still living in the open

In the neighborhood of Port Lmones.
four small islands disappeared. These
islands were inhabited bv fishermen,
who escaped in small boats. in which
they were at sea for three days until the
water became sufficiently calm to enable
them to reach the mainland.
The city OF Esmeraldas was nearly in
undated ny tidal wave, which entered
the port, flooding the principal streets.
All the inhabitants ran for the noun.
tains in the neighborhood.
All the towns in the Provinces of Es-
meraldas and Manabi were greatly dam
aged. especially Rio Verde, Camarones,
La Tolo, Limones, Borbon and Pingaugi,
the most OF the inhabitants OF which are
homeless.
At the Colombian towns of Mosquera,
San Juan aud Domingoratz more than 300
persons perished. Auticquia and other
Colombian departments suffered heavy
damage. At Tuquerras five persons per-
ished under the ruins of falling houses.
