Joyce, of Chicago, one of the largest lumber operators in the United States and we print these extracts tfat the people working here may know the conditions and realize how fortu- nate they are that anJ work is be- ing done at all:
 T am in receipt of a clipping from the Huttig News of November 2nd., with an item market which an- nounces the closing down of the night operation of your mill. think you only went half way in this action.

 Trade in country yards has come to a pra tlcal stand still be- cause ofthe inability of the farmers to realize On their crops. This 1 know, from the conditions that prevails at my retail yards. Hence there is going to be no retail yard trade for some time to come, and as the railroads have stopped buying nearly altogether, there can be but very little busi- ness expected

 OLIVER
 Typewriter
The Standard Visible Writer.

You can write any of these things yourself if you do not happen to have stenographer.
 For you can easily learn with a little practice, to write just as rapidly and perfectly an expert i operator on the OLIVER. Because the OLIVER is the smplified typewriter. And you can see every word you write. About 30 per cent more durable than any other typewriter, because it has about 30 per cent less wearing points than most other typs- writers.
 80 per cent easier to write with than these other complicated. intricate machines that require ''hu- morng" technical knowled ge-long practice and special skill to operate
 Than machines which cannot be adjusted to any special space-with which it is impossible to write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd size documents except you buy expensive special attachments re- Quifng experts to operate.
 You can adjust the OLIVER to any reasonable space-you can write on any reasonable size and thickness of paper, right out to the very edge with out the aid of any expensive attachment or SD .cial skill and your work will be neat appearing egible and clear,
 For the OLIVER is the typewriter for the doctor. the lawyer, the insurance agent, the merchant the hotei proprietor, or any man who does his own writing.

San FranciSC0'S Plight.

The San Francisco situation is not
clearing as rapidly ss the welI-wisheTs
of that city would like. The vio-
Ience in connection with the car
strike continues on a small scale, and
the arrests are daily diminishing. A
concilIation committee of prominent
citizens is endeavoring to bring about
peace by compromise. Governor
Gillett says that violence must stop,
and talks of arbitration and all that.
1t is within his province to restore
peace. lie has the militia behind
him. If the municipal authorities
are helpless or IN sympathy with the
scenes of violence, he can fall back
upon the state organization. Action
is wanted In this emergency, not
words. If the military arm of the
state government had been called out
in the first days of the strike, the
industrial atmosphere of the city
would certainly have cleared long ere
this, and normal conditions restored.
No doubt, governor Gillett is prompt
ed by laudabIe motives in trying to
secure a meeting OF the opposing
forces, in the hope of bringing about
settlement. But compromise will
not settle the question IN issue. 1T
might postpone the final Issue; defer
1t for few months or years. The
straight path in settling such contests
is to enforce the law; suppress vlo-
lence; arrest and punish violators
punish them Adequately, not by q
mere nominal fine. The street cars,
and those who ride therein, arc
entitled to protection. 1t has not
been, and is not, being given them
and it is up to the state authorities
to do that which the municipal
officers have failed to do. Calhoun
wants the be protected in his right tt
run his lawful business as a street Cal
president. He is still the only char
acter in this strife situation thai
stands erect and resolute. He is not
afflicted with a wobbling of the knees

SHENANDOAH VALLEY.

Mrs Alice Moore and Mrs Alma
Grieg, of San Francisco, are visiting
their grandmother, Mrs Susan Grain.
A small daughter made her appear
ance in the home of Mr. and Mrs
Harvey Jameson on May 2Sth. Mrs
Jameson has had an attack uf malaria
during the past three or four days.
Robert Davis has been very sick for
the past three weeks from acom-
pIication of malaria and other
troubles. He had but recently re-
covered from a somewhat similar
attack, but started to work before his
strength was fully restored, so caused
a relapse. Hes is making favorable
progress toward recovery at this writ
ing.
Haying is the order nf the week,
and the fields of labor are scenes of
animation. The yield, though below
the average, is much better than was
looked for considering the abnormalIy
unfavorable weather conditions dur
ing almost the whole of the growing
season.
The prospects for a profitable crop
of peaches and apricots have about
reached the vanishing point. not
being so good as was expected a few
weeks ago. Small fruits promise
uncommonly we'll, so most of the
growers expect to land right side up
at the end of the season.
Mr. and Mrs Calvin Barker of Oak
land, were in the valley for visit to
Mrs Barker s mother, Mrs M. Upton.
They are now at Lodi for visit to
sister, Mrs VIM. Rhodes. Mrs Upton
and another daughter, Mrs j. A.
Courier went with them.

we're examining the rife, which was
of the hammerless variety, and en-
tirely new to most of them. The
injured boy was cared for at the

from his wound.

The Assessment Roll.

Assessor G. r. jarvis has devoted
considerable time in Strengthening out
the errors of the assessment roll, and
in the equalization of assessments.
1t is generally the case, that with the
advent of new official IN the assess.
ment of property, changes are made
to suit the notion of the Individual
doing the work. The incum bent be-
lieves that he can improve upon the
work of his predecessor. This is a
laudable work, and the proper spirit
upon which to enter upon any official
duty. AS regards the assessment roll,
we understand that numerous changes
will be made this year. All property
that has been decided to the state fol
delinquent taxes has been dropped
from the roll. This will involve a
reduction of fully 100000. 1t has
served no good purpose to burden the
assessment IoII with such property,
as state pI operty is not assessable,
and to list such holdings year after
year, involves a lot of unnecessary
work, without any beneficial result
whatever. Notwithstanding this ap-
parent reduction, there will be no
shrinkage of the total valne of the
county's assessment. Some of the
property, and the large land
holdings will be increased. Reduc
tions have also been made IN a num-
ber of instances, to meet the special
The assessor appears to
have approached the work IN fair
and liberal spirit; aiming to act
justly with everyone. NO reasonable
man should find fault with a re-
of values so made. As a
rule, a property owner is not averse
to an equitable assessment. He is
willing to stand a little raise, if
assured that the aim is to bring
about more equitable distribution of
the burdens of taxation.

The Tobacconsst's Emgy.

One of the most peculiar things in
the whole history of signs is the fact
that while all other shopkeepers were
patroaizing the embryo painters the
tobacconst always called upon the
woodcarver on the continent as we'll as
in England. As long ago as Eliza
beths reign the wooden image of the
black boy was the favorite sign of
the tobacco dealers. Later the Gus
tomary sign was the highlander or
figure of Sir Walter Raleigh In Hol.
land, for some strange reason, the to-
bacconists adopted the dairymaid as
their sign, with the MOTTO "Consola-
ton for sucklings." The Indian, nat
urally enough, has always been the
predominant sign in this country, al
though once in awhile q reversion to
type crops out with the ancient black
boy.
