When it comes to lodging taxes we think New York city is entitled to take the chromo. The New York Com inercial has statement showing that of all the personal property taxes as sessed against New Workers so per cent. has been sworn off by the owners. It must be curious system of law, or an ineficient government that will allow citizens to swear off more than half their personal taxes.

WOm anliness.

If my observation goes for anything says Daphne in London Black and White, it has taught me that really womanly women never talk about wo- manliness-in fact, they are more often than not unconscious and never, never self conscious of their pleasing charac- teristic. The imitation article is, how ever, progressively self conscious, a mere hollow pretense. Real womanli- ness, like real religion, will never be found self conscious.

TO PROTECT THE WATER.
Petition to Keep Sheep From GRAZING
on Head Waters of Walla walla.

Petition to Keep Sheep From urazing 3
on Head Waters of walla Walla.
A Milton special says: For years
the Walla Walla river has been stead
lily falling. due to the mountain SHOWS
melting earlier than in former years.
1t is contended by settlers that the in
Vulnerable bands of sheep grazing on
the public lands located on the head
waters of the Walla Walla river and
its branches are directly responsible
for this decrease in water supply. The
Little Walla Walla Irrigation union,
through its attorney, 9. I. Goodwin,
is circulating petition which will be
presented to the secretary of the in
terror.
The petition recites: ''That during
the past 10 or 10 years numerous
bands of sheep, the greater number Of
which were owned by non residents Of
the valley and numbering many thou
sands, have been allowed to Craze upon
such of the public lands of the United
States as are included within this
Walla Walla watershed; that because
such grazing has been allowed, the
timber has been burned off and de-
stroyed, the underbrush eaten away
and the summer foliage destroyed and
tlespoiled; that because of such burn
ing, eating and destroying the inn
mense mountain SHOWS, which former
ly melted during the months of June,
July and August, and furnished ample
water during these months for irriga-
tion and other prrpcs 8 in this valley,
now melt aud flow away in the early
spring Of each year, all of which re-
duces very greatly the available sup
ly of the whole Walla Walla valley at
such times as the same are most need
ed for irrigation.
Therefore, your petitioners do re-
spectfully pray for the immediate is
suance of an order withdrawing all
the public land within the watershed
of the aforesaid Walla Walla river
from sheep grazing privileges and
prohibiting any and all sheep from
henceforth grazing thereon.
twenty-five copies Of the petition
are circulating in this valley, and it il
expected many thousands of name
will be obtained.

Ninety-two New Cases at Eugene Brings
Total Up to l60 Cases.
DIR. j. W. Harris, county health
officer, reports that up to late Satur-
day evening 92 new cases OF typhoid
fever in Eugene had beeu reported to
him since February z, making total
at present of abont 100. The origin
of nearly all the cases reported during
the week is traceable to the city
water.
While the increase in the number of
cases is now much greater than at any
time since the epidemic began, a
majority of the physicians are of the
opinion that in few days the epi-
demic will have abated TO consider.
able extent owing to the fact that the
use of boiled water has been general
for several days past. 1t is now bard
to find family in the city that does
not boil all drinking water whether
it comes from wells or the city mains.
Every effort is being made by the

wells has been selected. Pure water
can be obtained there and the COM
pany will at once proceed to dig the
wells. They will be located some dis
tance and across the river from the
new pumping plant now in course of
construction. The expense will pc
great, but the company is determined
to furnish the city with good water at
any cost.
A peculiar phase of the present epi-
demic is that out of the 175 or 1870
cases repo rted during the past month
only three deaths have occurred and
each of these cases was complicated
with pneumonia. As a general rule
the cases are mild, although several
persons are said to be quite low with
the disease. Some are of the opinion
that perhaps over half of the cases re
ported as typhoid are simply malaria.
The epidemic is having a decided
effect upon business in the city and
the result will be felt for long time
to come. The wide publicity given
the epidemic will have the effect Of
retarding the city's growth for several
years. However, the citizens are

RAND Is ROASTED.
Portland Labcr People Score Bake,
City Candidate.

Portland Labor People Score Baker
City Candidate.
The following nice, brown "roast, -
has Just been handed to John l..
Rand. republican candidate for con-
gress in the Eastern Oregon district:
1t has been officially announced that
John L. Rand, state seuator from
Baker county, and an all round ma
chine politician. will enter the pri-
mary election for the nomination for
congress on the republican ticket from
this the second district.
Upon this man organized labor
should center its united strength to
defeat, for If there is man in the
state of Oregon that organized labor
needs to fear it is John l.. Rand.
In spirit and letter be is corpora
tion man, who knows nothing of the
rights Of the people and cares less.
He is opposed to the Roosevelt policy,
he hates the direct primary law, was
an uncompromlsing enemy to all la
Dor bills for the last two sessions of
the state legislature. including the
fellow-servant bill championed by the
railroad boys, and stated to a repre-
sentative of the labor unions who ap-
preached him for his support of la
bor bill, that if he had his way he
would not only defeat every labor
measure that came up before his legis-
lative body, but would wipe fro the
statutes every labor measure that had
been enacted.
John Rand has known full well that
his record upon these questions would
confront him if he came out for this
office he now aspires to, and for some
time he has been wavering as to the
advisability of announcing himself.
Now that he has the temerity to do
so, it is up to the common people, and
especially the organized workers, to
determine whether he can spurn them
with impunity, as he has done in the
past. 1t would be calamity to the
state of Oregon to elect Rand to con-
gress. He is corporation counsel Of
the narrowest type He is pigment
of the corporation mould, and his in
trinsic value is measured by the will
of the boss and the dollar.
