them" In Des MONIES they sell ice bg
weight. There was baby born at one
of the homes in the city, and one of the
attendants wishing to know its weight,
and, there being no scales in the home,
the ice mans scales were borrowed for
the purpose, and 1t was found that the
newborn babe weighed just 40 pounds.
Evidence appears to show that condi-
lions were run very loosely in the Iowa
city before the arrival of that 40 pound
babe. Assuming that the ice peddler
knew the purpose for which his scales
were borrowed, there is clear case of
incompetency against him. And as for
the city's side of the case, every mother
can take the witness stand and give
positive assurance it is not customary
for people to arrive in this world done
up in such large packages.
AS trust buster the Des MONIES in
FAINT is the hero of the day, but it is
hardly expected Andrew Carnegie will
bestow any medals.

The Cleveland man explains the situa-
ton this way:
"Our modern nations spend billions
Of dollars yearly for tea, coffee, alcohol
and tobacco. They are articles of daily
consumption all over the globe. What
are their effects upon the human
system?
Tobacco contains deadly poison
called nicotine. This poison has an
especially deleterious action upon the
heart, lowering it's vitality and dimin-
ishing the force of it's contractions.
Tea, coffee and alcohol also have pois-
onous properties, acting in the opposite
direction, namely, stimulating the heart
and exacting work without supplying it
with food or additional strength. They
act exactly like the whip applied to the
horse. Continually under the lash of
these stimulants, the heart would soon
be compelled to spend all its reserve
force and would break down under the
strain of any emergency which de-
manded from it more than ordinary
effort. This being the case, the use of
tobacco becomes almost necessity. 1t
acts as the brake for the heart, pre-
venting over-exertion when there is
no need of it.
Humanity today keeps itself in an
artificial equipoise by counteracting one
poison with another.
without tea, coffee, alcohol and to-
bacco the human race would be in a
natural state of equilibrium. We can
not condemn tobacco without condemn
ing in the same breath tea, coffee and
alcohol"

The Smoker Vindicated.

The smoker and tobacco chewer is at
last indicated. 1t has been found, by
high authority, that the weed which
has been ridiculed as filthy and con-
demned as drain on pocketbooks and
mans nervous system, ever since it
was found by the Spaniards> on the
island Tobago, many centuries ago, has
a place in the economy of the universe.
DR.. Friedrich, health officer in Cleve-
land, Ohio, made the discovery. 1t is
too bad that more is not known about
the Doctor, and how he came to do it,
but men who are addicted to the use Of
tobacco ana have not been able to give
good reason for it, will be glad to
know that the day of excuses is over
and that their judgment is sound and
good, according to man OF science.

Oregon's Assessment Law.

An experiment that will be watched
with interest by all the counties in the
northwest has just been inaugurated by
the board of county commissioners of
Umatilla county, Oregon. With one
full swoop the board raised the assessed
valuation of the county to full value.
AS result of this action the assess
ment in the county will now be SAL, 200
900 instead of $40, 300, 600, and the tax
levy will be reduced one fourth it's
present figure, or about one per cent.
In raising the assessment to actual
property valuations the members of the
board declare they merely complied
with the provisions of the new state
law and the oaths they were required
to take before entering upon the work
this year. Under the new law all mem
bers of the equalization board are re-
quired to take oath that the assessment
will be at actual value. In order to
raise the assessment to the new basis
it will merely be necessary for the as
SCISSOR to multiply the assessment of
each man or corporation by four. In
reality the change in the assessment
basis will not affect to the slightest de-
gree the amount of taxes to be paid by
an individual or corporation, for with
the increase in the assessed value the
tax rate will be lowered correspond
ingly.
That the new system will result in
much benefit is anticipated by those
who favor the new law. In the case of
Umatilla county it is pointed out that a
man seeking investment in the county
asks for the tax rate and receives the
startling information that it is over As
mills. No amount of explanation can
convince him that the levy is really
fictitious, and he leaves for other fields
where the rate is not so high, though
the actual amount paid in taxes for cor
responding property may be greater

appears to be whether the Panama
canal could ever have been completed
without the "stringency'' which made
possible the issuance of the bonds.
What is to, be done with the surplus.
Some favored son who has been in con-
gress so many years, and who doesn' t
feel that his reputation would be in

if he explained things on that point.

Grangeville's Newspapers.

The new Grangeville Globe, the lat
est candidate for public favor in the
field of journalism in Idaho county,
reached subscribers in Elk City last
week. The paper is five columns,
eight pages, all home print. The paper
is neat geographically, and in news
service the first number is fully up to
the average of newspapers published in
western county seat towns. The pub
fishers state the new paper is the proof
of the faith within that Grangeville is
going to reach the Importance that its
most enthusiastic admirers hope it will,
and that the Globe is there to add it's
cheers and boost for the town and the
county and it's varied resources. Polit-
ically the Globe is going to revolve on
it's own axis, which is taken to mean
that it will maintain an Independent at
titude, though there is a slight con-
fession that there is an inclination to-
ward republican doctrine.
The launching of a newspaper at the
seat of county government is always a
matter of much interest to people all
over the county, and it is probable the
publishers of the Globe have received
their portion of comment, favorable
and unfavorable. A number of the
brethren of the press in the county and
outside have harshly criticized the
undertaking and few have predicted
failure. 1t is different here. AS to the
JUDGMENT of the publishers or the bust
ness success of the venture the editor
of Mining News has no comment to
offer. We venture the opinion, how
ever, that if all the publishers in
Grangeville get their snare of the pat
ronage, and then some, they will not
get the compensation they ought to
get for the good they do. Newspap-
ing, at best, is a life of constant toll
and continual application to duty, and
no conscientious publisher has ever yet
received as much monetary considera-
ton as he would have received had the
same industry, intelligence and under
standing of people BEEN applied in al
most any other line of work. But it
probably is as it should be. Men ac-
complish more that is good when money
is the least of their ambition. The good
that one does furnishes step to some
thing higher. With that plan to work
on the publishers in Grangeville can do
their town great good, at the same
time building up broader and better
field for themselves.
