Of course it's ridleu- loIs to report politicians as living up to their promises, because in such cases they make promises simply 10 break them at their own sweet Wlil' and the reason for it all is, theif brains are muddled, and it's on ac- count of the internal stuff they drink.

MORE PROPERTY TO ASSESS.
Multnomah County's Tax List viii BE
Increased $1,000 900.

The evening Telegram reviews the
result of the annullment of the eXemp-
ton clause In the state tax law in the
following manner:
Approximately 5000 people in Multi
nomah county who have heretofore
been exempt under the state law from
taxation on personal property to the
value of $500 will now be required to
pay personal property tax because Of
the decision yesterday of the supreme
court. which declared the state house
holders exemption law unconstitu-
tional. Included in this number are
scores of poor families, whose wealth
consists in nothing more than a small
amount of personal belongings.
If this number of people had prop
erty valued at $50 per capita, the
assessed valuation of property in this
county would be increased s750.000.
In addition to this there is large
amount of personal property on the
assessors rolls which is exempt. For
Instance, II man owns $1,000 worth
of personal property he pays taxes
only on 500 worth. Last year the
sum that was exempt under the law
amounted to $907,644, and this year
it will be greater than s1,000,000. 1t
is expected that by the decision of the
supreme court the assessed valuation
of personal property in Multnomah
county will be increased $4,000. 900.
This decision will necessitate large
amount of additional work in the
county assessors office. Taxpayers
whose personal property has already
been rated will be taxed for the full
amount of the valuation. without any
exemption. Very little additional
work will be necessary to adjust this
matter, but when it comes to making
another house to house canvass to as
certain the valuation of personal prop
erty, which heretofore has been ex-
empt. the assessor will have an enor-
nous task.

HOW WILL THEY BE CHosEN9
Delegates to National Conventions
Left Out of Primary Law

Poiucians are in quandary to
Know what method to adopt in elect
ing delegates to the national conven-
ton, which will nominate candidates
for president and vice-presdent of the
United States in 1908.
Among the important changes
wrought by the direct primary nomin-
ating elections law was that of abol-
ishing the old convention system by
which delegates to the national party
conventions were formerly chosen.
Grave doubts have also been ex-
pressed by lawyers as to whether
there is sufficient provision in the di-
Morrow county, yesterday, who was
Dental electors, and this question may
yet have to be taken into the courts
for solution
The law makes no direct allusion to
the method to be employed in NOM
mating presidential electors, but 1t is
held by some lawyers, and among
them one who took a part in framing
the llaw, that the phraseology to be
found in section 2 of the act providing
that primary elections shall be held to
nominate a senator in congress and
all other elective state. district, coun-
ty, precinct, city. ward and all other
officers and delegates to any consti-
tutional conventions that may here
after be called" makes a sufficient
provision in the words "all other elect
i've officers" But whether 1t does or
not is not clear to all.
AS to the method of choosing dele
gates to the national convention, how
ever, there is no provision. The law
deals directly with the nomination of
candidates for federal, state. district,
county and municipal officers, and
leaves the question of national con-
ventions and delegates thereto entirely
alone.

A. E. Wright and Arthur p. Slower
i'm charge of the irrigation experiments
in Oregon for the department of agri-
culture, have started a series of inter-
esting experiments in seepage at Irri-
gon.
Six pits 12 feet across the top and
three feet deep, of circular form and
having the same degree of incline in
the walls that is found in the walls OF
an irrigation canal, will be built at Ir-
rigon, in the sandy soil which is en-
countered in ditch making in that dis
trict.
These pits will have various kinds
of walls, in order to test the seepage
accompanying each kind in irrigation
The experts will use clay, straw, oil
and sand and silt tamped solidly, in
constructing the pits, in order to as
certain the amount of seepage from
each of these different substances in
bitches.
The question of seepage has been a
vexing question in the sandy districts
and when water is first turned into
raw bitches constructed in the sand
the seepage was alarming, in some
instances, very little water passing
through the bitches, at all. In order
to ascertain what form of pudding, OF
what substance can be used to- great
est advantage, the experiments will be
made in most thorough manner.
The speed of the water in the main
canal at Irrigon has been reduced by
system of check dams in the canal
and this has greatly reduced the seep-
age, by depositing more silt in the bot
tom of the canal.
Last year the speed of the water in
the main canal was about three feet
per second and the seepage was very
heavy owing to the small amount OF
silt deposited at this high speed. This
year the flow has been checked and
the speed reduced to about one and a
half foot per second and the seepage
has been reduced by almost 80 per
cent. 1t is thought that by pudding
in a scientific manner and reducing
the speed of the water in the canals,
the seepage can be reduced to very
small amount even in very sandy soil
The experiments will be continued
through the month of August in con-
nection with other work being done
by the irrigation experts.

BUILDING GOOD ROAD AT SALEM
Government Starts Work OH Object
Lesson Road Today.

The incline trestle leading to the
new bunkers at the state fair grounds
will be completed this morning and 1t
is expected that the Citizens Light &
Traction company will begin hauling
crushed rock for the government "ob-
ject lesson road" this afternoon, says
the Salem Statesman. The rock will
be brought from Marion county's
quarry south of this city and it is the
intention to begin spreading the ma
terial on the stretch of road under
course of construction tomorrow II
enough can be furnished by the street
railway company to keep several
teams employed.
With the arrival of the crushed
rock the work on the ''Object lesson
road" will proceed rapidly as the
grading and all other preliminarles
have been completed. In fact, the pre-
liminary work was finished some time
ago, but operations were stopped on
account of the delay experienced in
the construction of the bunkers and
incline trestle.
1t is expected that large number
of people will take advantage of the
opportunity to witness the construction
of a model road by government eX-
perts when the rock work gets under
way.

ST. GEORGE RESTAURANT SOLD
S. l.. Holloway Is the New Proprietor
of Popular Place.

As intimated in this paper several
days ago, S. L. Holloway has secured
charge of the st. George restaurant
and he will have the management of
the same ir, the future. taking the
place of Mrs. C. E. Cooper. The lat
ter's interest in the business was pur,
chased by Mr.. Holloway for the sum
of $4,000, the deal being consummated
Wednesday.
Mr.. Holloway, the new proprietor,
has had much experience as restau-
rant man and is regarded as very
competent in that line. He was with
the French restaurant for year while
that place was under the management
of Gus LaFontaine, and he has been
with Mrs. Cooper for year.
While the management of the St
George has changed, the same help
will be retained and the business will
be conducted along the same lines as
during Mrs. COoper's management, the
aim being to maintain the present rep
utation as one of the best first-cass
restaurants in the state outside OF
Portland. Some improvements are
also contemplated for the neap future

TROY WILL HANG BACK.
Hopes Sometime to BE County Seat
Instead of Moscow.

The voters Of this city do not take
kindly to the proposition of bonding
Latah county for 100000 for the con-
struction OF county court house at
Moscow. The people here have not
entirely abandoned the hope that some
day Troy may be made the county
seat. They figure that II the county
at this time votes 100000 for a new
county building that It will preclude
for all time to come, especially within
the coming generation, making Troy
the county seat.
While the voters of Troy do not de-
ny that perhaps the county really
needs new court house, they feel the
citizens OF Moscow can forego its erec-
tion for a few years, inasmuch as they
are to have fine new federal building
and there is some talk of building a
city hall. The project is also opposed
here because 1t will increase the taxes.

BREWERY DRIVER ARRESTED.
Allowed His Wagon to Stand Toe
Long Across the Walk.

Because one of the drivers of the
City brewery insisted in keeping his
wagon too long on the sidewalk be-
side the brewery, he will now have
a chance to explain his case in the
recorders court.
1t was one of the wagons which
haul malt away from the brewery,
and 1t was across the walk yesterday
when Mayor Fee CHANGED to come
along. Noticing that the sidewalk
was blocked, the mayor asked the
driver to move off the walk. In reply
the driver said he would do so as soon
as his wagon was loaded.
AS the city ordinances prohibit
wagons from remaining on the walks
whether loaded or not, a warrant was
sworn out against the driver this
afternoon and was signed by Mayor
Fee.

HORSE HEAVEN WHEAT LIGHT.
Charles F. Van De Water Finds Nc
No. 1 Grade.

Charles F. Van De Water, travelling
freight agent Of the o. R. & n. return
ed this morning from a trip of inspec-
ton through the lower Horse Heaven
country across the Columbia. Mr..
Van De Water made thorough in
vestigation of the wheat and barley
yields in that section of the country
and it is his opinion that the grain
produced this season will equal that of
last year.
People of that section of the coun-
try had expected a banner yield this
season as the number of acres over
last year is nearly double. Owing to
the hot winds which visited the dis
trict the yield has been cut down
about half from what it was expected
to be, but in spite of this the country
will produce as much grain as it did
last year.
No No. 1 Grade Wheat.
1t is thought that the number of
bushels per acre will vary from ~ to
Is, while in the early part of the sea-
son 1t was expected that it would
reach 20 in most cases.
Barley, which. under favorable con-
ditions would have made easily 30
bushels will now average 20. Mr.. Van
De Water states that there will be
very little of the grain which can be
graded as No. 1, as it is in a shrunken
condition and will not hold out in
weight.
