Taxpnyers Very WeIl Plea sed.


Although the Josephine County
Board of Equalization was in session
during the whole Of last week, for the
purpose OF hearing any complaints
which taxpayers might feel inclined
TO make about the manner in which
their worldly belongings had been
assessed by Mr.. Fallin. yet only very
few persons took advantage OF the op'
portunity. All of which only goes to
indicate that the people OF this
county, realizing that their efficient
assessor had in former years striven to
do his duty, were content to let him
decide what proportion Of the public
stipend they should pay. Now the
matter will stand practically as As
SCISSOR Fallin had figured it out, al
there is no state board to come in and
demoralize matters, as is the case in
many states. Oregon law makers,
believing that each county is able to
settle these things for itself. mas
much rs the various counties have
different interests, has done away
with the plan which is in force In
other commonwealth with regard
to this proposition. and it is proving
to be very wise move. The proceed
ings Of the Board Of Equalization
will be found on another page Of to-
days Courier.

volume will be about the same. This
fact. when it ia considered that there

his supporters to prejudice the country
against the town, as he did in every
speech, had it's weight and the efforts
will be felt for many . day. Proba-
bly, this is the meanest form Of cam
paigning. A direct lie on an op-
ponent will effect only the man, but
planting Of prejudice in communities
whose interests are identical will grow
crop which is harder to eradicate
than Canada thistles. It is natural
for people to divide on political ques-
tions but when national issues are in
volved it is not natural for them to
divide along professional or business
lines, and the person who breaches
such division or attempts to bring it
about is no friend to the people he is
trying to influence. It is the rankest
form Of demsgogism and deserves
severest condemnation.

Although he could complete two
terms in the lower house of congress
before the beginning of his senatorial
term, Congressman John Sharp Will
liams will not ask for reelection from
the 9Th district. Announcement to
this effect was made by Mr.. Williams
prior to the beginning of the sena-
torial contest, and he reiterates his
decision. Senator Moneys term ex-
pires on March 4, 1911, and on that
date Mr.. Williams will take his seat.
The present term of Mr.. Williams will
end on March 4, 1909. and he will

not for the fact that the undertaking
would incur embarl assing opposition
from formidably large part of the

that it will be necessary to wait some
eighteen months longer before the

olusion; for There are to be some
lengthy preliminary exercises in the
way Of investigation. There has been
already good deal Of investigation
BY the National Association Of Man

body that the tariff should be revised

Secretary Taft says that the investiga.
ton will be conducted in the end by
the Committee Of Ways and Means Of

At a dinner on the last anniversary
of President Lincoln's birthday, Gen
eral o. o. Howard related the follow
ing: One day MI. Lincoln saw Sena-
tor Fessenden coming toward his Of
flee room. MI. Fessenden had re-
ceived the promise of some appoint
ment in Maine for one of his consti-
tIents. The case had been over
looked. AS soon as Mr.. Lincoln
caught sight of the Senator he saw
that he was angry, and as he ap-
preached his door he called out:
"Say, Fessenden, aren't you an Epis-
copalian?" Mr.. Fessenden, taken
aback by the question, answered:
Eyes, 1 belong to that persuasion"
Mr.. Lincoln then said: 81 thought SO;
you swear so much like Seward.
Seward is an Episcopalian. But you
ought to hear Stanton wea He can
beat you both. He is a Presbyter-
IAN" BY this time Fessenden was in
hearty good humor, and the Presi-
dent, sending for the papers, settled
the case to the Senator's satisfac-
ton.
General Wilson, at the same din
ner, told of Lincoln's comment on a
dispatch stating that a brigadier-gen-
eral and several hundred mules had
been captured by the Confederates.
He quoted Lincoln as saying: 81 don't
care SO much for the brigadier-gen-
eral. I can make brigadier-generals.
but mules cost money"

The Inner Temple,

ut is the most elegant spot in the
metropolis" You would scarcely rec
ognize this on the instant as a de-
scription of the Inner Temple, says
a London correspondent. And (par-
don the assumption of an ignorance
you may not possess) that word "ele-
giant" might strike you as a pure
Americanism, given out by n of our
cousins who come with the early sum-
mer to criticise us. Not even the ad-
vertising house agent talks now OF
an elegant spot" The word has
gone over to America-to recuperate.
But it was Charles Lamb who de-
scribed the Inner Temple as "the
most elegant spot in the metropolis"
Nor is there any reason why one
should not talk of an elegant steak
For the word is but a variant of elect
picked out-choice!

An example of the possibilities of
a small farm handled on the intensive
plan comes from Sinking Spring, near

eleven acres as follows: 3615 punches
of r~adishes, 80 bushels of white china
radishes, IT'S bushels of onions, 1900
boxes of strawberries, 673 punches
and 20 bushels of beets, 500 quarts of
lima beans, IL bushels of soup beans,
rs bushels of peas, &c bushels of

COFFEE THRESHED HER
Is Long Years.

"For over fifteen years." writes a
patient, hopeful little Ills. woman,
while a coffee drinker, suffered
from Spinal Irritation and Nervous
trouble. l was treated by good ply
sicians, but did not get much relief.
Il lever suspected that coffee
might be aggravating my condition.
l was down-hearted and discouraged,
but prayed daily that 1 might find
something to help me.
Several years ago, while at a
friends house, I drank a cup of Pos
tum and thought l had never tasted
anything more delicious.
From that time on l used Postum
instead of Coffee and soon began to
improve in health, so that now | can
walk half a dozen blocks or more with
ease, and do many other things that
] never thought l would be able to do
again in this world.
my appetite is good, l sleep well
and find life is worth living, indeed.
la lady of my acquaintance said she
Ibid not like Postum, it was so weak
land ~tasteless.
Il explained to her the difference
when it is made right-boiled accord
ing to directions. She was glad to
know this because coffee did not
agree with her. Now her folks say
they expect to use Postum the rest of

An Earl Who Makes Cupboards.

There is no finer sportsman living
than the Earl of Tankerville. He is
capable of shooting bears in the
Rocky Mountains or painting the
most artistic miniatures you ever saw.
In the morning he might take part in
a fencing match with single sticks,
and even blindfolded beat the most
expert fencers. In the evening you
might hear him sing a hymn at an
e~vangelistic meeting, and move thou
sands to tears by the pathos of his
voice. He was a great admirer of
Mr.. Moody, of Moody and Sankey
fame, and considers him the finest
Christian he ever met. His hobbies
are carpentry and wood carving, and
he has a capital workshop fitted up
for his own use at bloomington
House. Lady Tankerville is almost
as adventurous as her husband. On
n occasion she drove the engine of
the Canadian Pacific Express for six
hours from Glacier House to Sicca-
moos.-London Tit-Bits.
