critics that has prevailed in the past.
The average valuation placed upon the
Southern Pacific stock in the past has

divided between rolling stock and road
bed, the former being assessed at $1,000
and the latter 1t $4,000. The Wood

The above telegram shows that the
protest recently made by the Oregon

reserve tax has been turned down by

the bit Of news contained therein is of
much interest to sheep and cattiemen ip
this part of eastern Oregon.

some extent under this ruling, the
county treasures will be benefited. ss

The sheepmen protested against the
grounds that sufficient notice had not
been given, and that the fee charged is
unjust and unreasonable. They also
quoted in connection with their protest
the recent dicision Of Judge Whitson,
in a Washington court. in which be
held that the interior department or the
department Of forestry had no authority
to conduct criminal prosecutions and
impose fines. 1t seems, however, that

COUNCIL MAYss.DECIDE:
TO HOLD DAY MEETINGS

It is likely that the council will hold
it's business sessions. during business
hours, instead Of meeting at night, as
has been the practice for nearly fif-
teen years. ~. ~
Alderman Frank L. Schoonmaker says
says that ato the next meeting of the
council he will propose that the coun-
Gil hold it's regular sessions on Friday
afternoon instead of in the evening.
He believes that it will be great
convenience to the aldermen to hold
their sessions in the daytime. This is
the practice Of the park. school, libra.
ry and other boards, and it is no in.
convenience to members Of those boards
The only reason for meeting in the
evening is that a precedent has been
established which no one has thought
to break. Formerly the aldermen met
! in the afternoon. When paving was
laid on Hennepin avenue and large
number Of cars began to run on the
/ street, it was impossible to conduct
business in the council chamber in the
old city hall because Of the great dir
in the streets. To avoid the noise tt
some extent the council decided to hole
evening sessions, and the practice wa!
continued when the city officials moved
to the new city hall. ss~..-.,

Weather Conditions,

The pressure is below normal over
the southern Rocky mountain region
sand thence northeastward and north
ward into the Canadian provinces, with
barometric depressions central over
Alberta, the Lake Winnipeg region,
and extending from central Colorado to
central South Dakota; this general low
pressure condition has been accompa-
MED by rains during the past twenty
four hours from the Louisiana coast
northward into Minnesota, and from
the Wisconsin westward to the north
Pacific coast. Rain was still falling
this morning in Arkansas, Wisconsin,
Washington and Alberta, and as the
low pressure area moves eastward, rains
and probably thunderstorms are expect
ed in this vicinity tonight and Thurs
day. A high pressure area is advanc-
ing eastward from the north Pacific, at
tended by falling temperatures in Al
berta, Washington. Oregon and western
Montana; these falling temperatures are
expected to reach this vicinity on
Thursday. IT. s. Outram,

BLANK LOSES NO TIME
IN GETTING NEW WIFE

Benjamin Blank did not waste an hour
Of time in seeking new matrimonial bliss
when the necessary six months had
elapsed after securing his divorce. The
records Of the district court show that
Mr. Blank was divorced on Nov. IA, 1906
and bright and early on the morning Of
May IA, 1905, he appeared at the mar
riage license counter and purchased a
new license. The bride was Lea Oren-
stain.
May Ia was Blank day In the
clerks office Beside the Blank who Sc
| cured a marriage license, there was a
Samuel Blank who renowned his allegi-
ance to the king Of Rumania and became
citizen Of the United States. There
was also q. Blank who drew a blank be-
cause he wanted to become a citizen, but
did not have the legal number Of wit
nesses to testify to his good character
and his residence in this state.

APPEAL TO COURTS
TO PROTECT TREES

IS s .
Orders from the district court have
been served on DR.. J. NJ. Kistler, G. A.
Anderson, a HORSEPOWER, and Theodore
With, superintendent of parks, to re-
store building on Lyndale avenue from
Sixth to Seventh avenues The order
was sought by 3. o. Ungar and Frank
Grertin, in order to prevent the de-
struction of their own trees and others
in the block in which they live.
Mr.. Ungar, who is. a blacksmith, is
much aroused over the course pursued
by DR.. Kistler and accuses him Of at
tempting to take advantage of the fact
that he is public official, to evade the
law. Both he and Mr.: Guertin an
nounce their determination to resist
with all their means, any attempt tt
move the store until it has been cut in
sections so small that they can b,
taken up the street, without damaging
any of the trees.ss91h i3is
In the meantime the store still stands
IN the street and is blocking traffic.
