Garrison Will Land Today.

The first landing of the force to garri-

tomorrow morning. The coming ashore of
these men, as well as the arrival of some
5000 soldiers from the United States is
not considered locally to intimate any

was chiefly TO restore confidence in bust

Washington state prison at Walla

examining the jute mill Governor
Mead has already given orders TO

There is probability that the leg
islature will go TO Walla Walla to
examine the jute plant with the pur-
pose in view of establishing such an
institution at the Oregon peniten-
tiary. The matter was first made
prominent by the Pendleton Com
mercial association. which body

mill and has asked the legislature TO
make the visit under the auspices of

Yacht Gloucester a Wreck.

The recent storm which wrought
havoc at Mobile and Pensacola. and
devastated the gulf coast, drove
ashore the converted yacht Glouces-
ter,to which was accorded a bril-
liant achievement in the war with
Spain.
Ii will be remembered that when
the fOrmidable-looking torpedo boat
destroyers belonging to Cervera s
fleet steamed out of the harbor of
Santiago, the Gloucester, under
Commander Richard Wainwright,
went straight for them at full
speed; and although the destroyers
were theoretically superior in about
the proportion of 100 to |, the GloE-
cester, with her machine guns, under
the direction of the fearless and in
domitable Wainwright, soon had the
Spanish vessels leaking live sieves
In order to save their lives the Span
iards ran the sinking destroyers
ashore.
Many will be the regrets among
patriotic Americans, and among
lighting men the world over, who ad-
mire and applaud a brave and fear
les deed. to learn that the historic
Gloucester is high and dry on the
coast of Pensacola. The trim little
vessel deserved a better fate. Though
she is a wreck the story of the part
she took at Santiago will always
constitute resplendent page in the
annals of the American navy.

ABOUT SMELTER TAXES.

1t is a fact easily established by
any one who will investigate. that the
Durango smelter. among all the great
smelling plants of Colorado has al
ways paid the second highest taxes
paid by any smelter in the state, be-
fore Assessor Coston raised its valu-
alton about one-third.
Would the people increase the valu-
alton of the Durango plant so high as
to drive II to some other place to
pay taxes and dole out It's pay roll to
other coal mining, commercial and la
bor markets? How many of the Ia
boring men and business men OF Du-
range would prefer to have the Amer
ican Smelling and Refining plant at
Durango removed to some other coal
field? 1t would be easy for that com.
pany to establish another plant on
the San Juan river where 1t could be
operated much more economically. La

Now. will Mr.. Coston or some other
public economist be good enough to
point out wherein he has benefited
the taxpayer or increased the reven-
ues to La Plata county?
1t is true that the city levy was re-
duced ten or twelve mills and that
there was slight reduction in the
county levy, the latter being possible
by reason of the present board of
county commissioners having ac-
qulred sufficient funds through rigid
economy and the collection of back
taxes TO pay off several thousand dol
lars in judgments against the county
The county levy is subjected to a
change or increase in the levy any
time the school board finds II neces-
sary TO increase its levy. or at any
time public improvements may re-
quire an increase. II will be seen
that Mr.. Costons increase in 1905
over 1904 amounts TO sS45,O2S.
If he had been equable in making
this increase and had made uniform
raise on all property. instead of pre-
ferred properties TO make the raise,
allowing others to stand where they
did before, the people might applaud
him for making them pay more money
to the state.
A majority of the people pay the
same amount of taxes as before, while
those who were favored by being
omitted in the raise. now pay proper
tionately less, amounts corresponding
with the reduction in the levy. where
they were not raised.
This may be a popular policy con.
templating Mr.. Coston's reelection
but the people demand something uni.
formly more equable.
