dllllam was a born frontiersman.
Fatrlotlc and man of war, he came
70 oregon fresh from the Florida war
and had also seen service in the Nor
mon war at Nauvoo and other places.
he was known to be a man without
fear, kind and gentle as a child, ex-
ceedingly strong in his friendships,
but Just. Hospitality and the relief OF
the needy were the ruling passions of
his nature, but as an opponent he was
never to be despised. He had that
characteristic of being first in war
and first in peace, and was known as
a generous foe, debating liberal
terms at all times to the conquered
Indian tribes of the Northwest,
Colonel Ford had all the elements
OF leader, He was also hospitable
In marked degree, and his family
were prominent In the social life Of
the county. AS a keen politician, he
always carried the day hands down.
The pioneers always relied on NAT
Ford as their leader in education and
politics. Always a Democrat and in
war times a Southern sympathizer, as
were many of the pioneers, the greater
number of them having come from
the border or Southern states, Colonel
Ford prided himself on his Virginia
blood. Having held slaves in Vir-
ginia and Missouri, he brought sew
eral negroes to Oregon. These were
freed by the law forbidding the hold.

Personal sketches of men and wo
men Of these times could be multiplied
without number, for characters worthy
OF emulation were not wanting. In
fact, as we see it now, every man and
woman Of the early '4Os was a heroic
character. Certainly every woman
who was mother was made of more
than ordinary metal, for the heroism
that braved them to face the triI
across the plains, with all its mater
nal responsibilities, deserves all the
honor that the most prolific pen could
write. 1t must be conceded by the
most cynical that the brave, good
mothers OF those times did as much
for the success of the present genera
tion, with all it's comforts and high
civilization, as did the men,
But enough of the past and present

TAX DEEDS VOID
Judge Oantenheln Hands Down De-
cision Which is far Reaciiing
In Effect.

Tax deeds issued by Multnomah
county covering property worth at
least 81 ,OOO,OO are void.
This is the effect Of d decision given
by Circuit Judge Gantenbein last
week. Practically 1t invalidates all
the so-called "junk sales" Of county
and city property for delinquent taxes
that have been made to date, and II ls
estimated that the amount Of delin-
quent taxes for which the sales were
made aggregate at least $4,000.
The decision is one Of the most far
reaching given in years II affects
property in all parts Of the city and
county. This ID the first time the
validity Of deeds issued by the county
on the basis of sales for taxes has
been raised Ia this state. The Supreme
Courts OF buttwo other states Kansas
and Oklahoma have passed finally
upon this matter, and the decision Of
Judge Gantenbein is In line.
The suit In question was that Of
George L. Parker against ]. X Kol-
lock, ostensibly suit to quiet title to
property III Point View Addition, now
part OF the city, but really to test
the validity OF deeds issued by the
county on the basis Of sales for de-
llnquent taxes. 1t was tried In Judge
Gantenbein's court several days ago,
and since then the iurist has made an
exhaustive investigation Of decisions
In similar matters In other states.
The result Is a complete victory for
the plaintiff, but before he can resume
possession Of the property he must
snake good" to the county for the
back taxes.
A law was enacted by the Oregon
Legislature In 1898, and amended In
1901, by which county is authorized
to bid the amount Of taxes due,
together with the costs for which any
parcel OF land is offered, and IL there
be no other bid OF such amount the
land may be sold to the county.
The court holds that the county has
not power under the constitution to
speculate In tax titles, and cannot be-
come competitive bidder attax sales.
A deed given by the county for land
bid in by the county at tax sale
must show on its face that It was not
purchased as result Of competitive
bidding.
The court holds that reoitals In tax
sales must show that the county's
statutory right to purchase the prop
erty In question existed at the time Of
the purchase, and unless deed given
thereon contains such O recital Il Is
invalid on it's face.

We heard a man say the other
morning that the abbreviation for
February-Feb. means Freeze every
body, and that man looked frozen in
his ulster. 1t was apparent that he
needed the kind of warmth that stays,
the warmth that reaches from head to
foot, all over the body. We could
have told him from personal knowl-
edge that Hoods Sarsaparilla gives
permanent warmth, it invigorates
the blood and speeds it along through
artery and vein, and really fits men
and women, boys and girls, to enjoy
cold weather and resist the attacks Of
disease. 1t gives the right kind Of
warmth, stimulates and strengthens
at the same time, and all its benefits
are lasting. There may be a sug.
gestion in this for you.
