HARBoR BOARD PIeUED

II was the boards pique that caused
the issuance of the order to the Col
lector of the port, and, as one MEM
mer characterized it. IAN effort to
arouse public opinion against the COM
mittee which is working for the in
terests of San Francisco and was
therefore compelled to make criticism
of existing methods on the front" The
committee will ask that the govern
ment scales be not interfered with, as
they are absolutely necessary to the
conduct OF the business OF the port.
Before the board had finally agreed
to send Committeeman Friedlander.
Rosenfeld and Tilden to Sacramento in
the interests of the foregoing meas
ures. Captain Harry Goodall asked If
it would not be possible to get even
farther away from the existing sys-
tenn than the proposed measure con-
templated He said that he favored
a commission of three men to be paid
$4,000 year, who would devote their
entire time to the front. He feared
that an unpaid commission might not
give sufficient attention to its duties
and announced that he had never seen
Commissioner Mackenzie on the front
except when he went to attend a session
of the board and that Commissioner
Crocker had been seen about the
wharves only three times. 1t was
pointed out to Captain Goodall that the
high salaried harbor master would keep
things running in good order and that
this system had been found to be the
best at Liverpool, where commission
of twenty-seven members operated
through a harbor master with entire
success.
The vote was then taken, with the
result that the commercial mems lobby
will soon open its fight at the State
capital.

DAMAGE IN VENTURA

VENTURA, Jan. 9.-This city is storm
bound after one OF the worst storms
in its history. From Sunday night to
Wednesday noon 9.0S inches Of rain
were recorded-more than has fallen at
times in a whole season. The western
part of the city of Ventura is flooded
and residents have been forced to move.
The Ventura River is a raging torrent
and has caused great damage. The fine
steel bridge being built by the county
and which lacked only a few days OF
completion was washed out by the
flood.
SAN BERNARDINO. Jan. "a warm
south wind brought heavier rain than
usual tonight, and II 1t continues until
morning the floods from the mountain
and valley streams will be serious
menace to property. Little Creek. which
for the past two weeks has shown no
rise from the steady rains, became a
boiling river tonight. and there are
grave fears for the adjacent ranches
and the county road and railroad
bridge.

After The shergfrr.

Who gets the II per cent discount
on taxes paid during the first part OF
the fiscal year Of the county court2
This is the question the circuit court
will have TO decide when the kanawha
county court commissioners appear
before Judge S, c. Buriette in answer
to the writ of eertorari asked for by
Tax Commissioners Dillon yesterday.
According to their Interpretation of
the law, the president and the mem
bers of the Kanawha county cours
have turned over TO Sheriff Melton
$7l7.54 the discount on taxes collected
by the Sheriff up to Nov. 30, 1905, but
which the tax commissioner believe,
|rightfully belongs TO the taxpayers
who pay during the early part of the
year.
The question is one which has been
the subject OF much discussion and the
case will be watched with intense in
terest by the attorneys and county Of
ficers all over the state. Whether q
county court has the right to cOnstrue
the law as to the com mission il pays
the sheriff, has never been questioned
and brought iLto court of law, and
this is the first time in the history of
the state that writ of certorari has
been issued on a county court into a
higher tribunal to have its decisions in
= egard to the sherifrs fees questioned.
Daniel Matthews was appointed by
the Kanawha county court and Muir
ray Briggs by the circuit court COM
missoners to report for the rejection or
ratification Of the report of the sheriff
whose term of office began January
1905 These commissioners allowed the
sheriff for S4,067.42, Is per cent, com
Miss toner's collected, and S7l7.54, for
the fircal year ending June /, the
amount should be given to the taxpay-
ers who paid their taxes during the
months of October and November.
The report was accepted by the coun-
ty court after its ratification by Com
missioners Briggs and Matthews, the
Messrs. Avis aud Dillon made mo-
ton to allow the discount. This docs
not include the ? IL per cent rebate of
those who pay taxes at the first Of Il e
fiscal year. This motion wasoverruled.
A motion to have the interest in the
uncollected taxes paid into the county
funds instead of the sheriff was also
overruled.

Her Greatest Triumph.

Woman achieves her greatest
triumphs when she fulfills the will Of
her Creator. She was created to be the
helpmate, not the rival OF man. They
are to work as one, neither striving to
take the position which belongs to the
other. Woman is to be the queen in the
quiet and peaceful domain Of home.
Yet the fact that she is at home does
not mean that she has no influence on
the progress of the world outside the
home. The ideal that we formed at our
mothers home is the highest we will
form in all our lives. Moorelield EX-
aminer.

And These From the Land OF Sinim
NspoIeon said of China: "'The giant
is asleep. Do not wake him. Bu'
China is awakening so rapidly as TO
astonish the civilized world. The most
CONSPICUOUS characteristic OF her MS
tory. both ancient and modern, has
been her jealousy guarded conserNa-
tism. But like a sea of ice under the
first warm rays of spring, those eher-
ished institutions that have survived
her remote antiquity are melting away
Evidences of a changed attitude are TO
be found everywhere. Her military
drill and armament ara to be of the
most approved modern type All
schools that are organized in the fu-
ture are required to adopt Western
methods of instruction. Normal
schools are 10 be established and an
imperial university 10 accommodate ~
! O)a students is to be opened. The dress
of army officers will be like that of
European or American officers and
soldiers are to surrender their queus
Foot bin ding, one of China's curses, IL
abolished by order of the Empress
Dowsger. The soldiers are freed from
duty on the Christian Sabbath and at
tend mission services in large num-
.rs.
The changes seem more remarkable
than similar changes in Japan. for
they have been so obstinately delayed
and are coming so suddenly as almost
10 stagger our belief.
A decree has been issued making
he Christian Sabbath a day OF rest,One
of the Viceroys whose province in
cludes more than forty million people,
has deereed that the Bible shall be
studied in the schoss. Legislation has
been enacted by which the use of
opium, "China's sorrow,n is to be pro
hibited. The Iml eralCommission wifi h
recently visited American to study our
laws and institutions, upon their re-
turn to China, recommended eonsti-
tutional form Of government for the
empire, and this recommendation has
the approval of those in authority.
When we remember that these
things have all come about within a
few months and then think of the
magnitude of the Chinese empire, who
can tell what it all signifies as to .hc
effect upon the whole world.
The nation that persistently adhered
to ancient forms apd cherished an
Gent ideas, seems about ready to leap
to tie front in the practice of modern
arts and founding modern institu-
tions. China has more than ten times
the population of Japan and more
than thirty times its area in square
miles. The Chinese mind is alert and
capable, and when she adopts the civ
iization of the West her power will be
appalling. How important that her
civilization shall be Christian in reali
ty as we'll as in name.
Fair-minded historians will ascribe
these beneficent changes in the life of
this great empire primarily to het
leaven of Christian missions, workii G

centre Of the thought and life Of tie
