that coral and Copenhagen blue

Economy may enter largely in

odds and ends of lace, fringe, or

on a single waist. Colored satin,

SAME OLD STORY.

Now they are going after the vener-
able ex-Secretary of State, Harrison R.
Kincaid, of Eugene, in at attempt to
make him disgorge the fees that he col
lected during his term Of Office in the
administration of Governor Lord. And
they will wind up just as others have
ended on such quest, with nothing
gained to themselves or the state. The
principle of the fee system begins and
ends with the collection of the fee. It
has always been so, in every plea Of
this kind made in this state. and this
effort viii be as futile as all others.
Men like Kincaid, F. l. Dunbar, the pres
ent incumbent, Mr.. Benson, are wise
enought to know their rights in this
behalf and honorable enough to employ
only the real and right sources of com.
pensation in administering SO great an
office; nor is it likely they would have
transcribed any rule or law forbidding
their taking the fees complained Of. The
legislature must cure what Of error ex.
lists in this direction; the courts have
already spoken in mandatory form on
this issue and are not likely to reverse
themselves upon so well-known and long
thrashed-out plea.

POPE IS CONFIDENT.
Big Company Will Not Stop Operations
or Change Prices.

NEW YORK, August 23.-Assurance
that its declaration Of insolvency and
the appointment of receiver for the
Pope Manufacturing Co., will not result
in cessation or delay of operations in
that company's plants was given yes
terday by Albert L. Pope, vice president,
which he made to the stockholders and
agents of the company throughout the
country. In this statement, Mr.. Pope
said:
"The business of the Pope Manufac-
turing Co. will be continued as hereto
fore by the receiver, in compliance with
the court order to that effect. The pro-
duction Of the company's cars win not
suffer any delay through the new con-
ditions. There is no truth in the re-
ports of the sale of 1907 cars to other
than the regular dealers, or for
prices not agreeing with the regular list.
Cars will continue to be sold by the reg
ular agents at the established prices,
and work on the 1903 cars vii 90 on,

ASTORIA ROAD WINS OUT.

Lytle railway system, down in Tilla'
nook for the right to use the Garibaldi
Pass to the utter exclusion OF the As.
toria & Columbia River Railroad Com.
pany which was on the ground first and
in possession, has been decided in favor
of the latter company by Judge Burnett,
OF the Third Judicial District, and while
the matter may be carried up to the su-
preme court, it is said the findings Of
the Judge are SO plain and equitable,
that the upper court will have but little
trouble in reaching an affirmative con-
clusion. This is as it should be; the
fight was purely selfish one and in
wolves but little else than bald desire
to oust lucky competitor who hap
pened to have the better engineers.

NOT THIS YEAR.

Assessor Cornelius, OF Clatsop county,
ia speaking Of the contemplated raise in
the valuations of timber lands over in
Western Washington some Of which
win be advanced 800 or 400 per cent,
SAYS that he wants, first, to be just and
fair, and that his advance on such values
in Clatsop on the 1907 roll, will be in
creased from 25 to 3Sis per cent, but
that next year he will probably have to
move them up to full, fat values.
Clatsop county has been closely and
carefully cruised BY the county, the
cost of which work cost in the neighbor-
hood of 1000. and furnishes the eoun,
ty assessor with an exact and well-sealed
basis for computing the relative values
of the timber lands. and enables him to
group them into a set of values ranging
from is cents to IS cents per thousand
feet of timber, the land always being
held at an assessable valuation of $l.00
per care,
he has the last aforty" in the county
Just where he can estimate it's value
upon the basis of nearness to water or
rail transportation; the slope of the
background upon which it stands; its
remoteness, or contiguity, to mill and
market; the quality and quantity Of the
timber under consideration. and all the
points that make for or against advanced
values. and be viii, this year, adhere to
the plan, with the, upward move sug-
gested above; but next year be is of
the opinion this character of property
will take the standard values, and he |
will then put them where they belong.
A good many people on both sides of
the Columbia think the extraordinary |
raise. contemplated by the Washington |
assessors, is as just as it is radical. and
would like to see some such program fol-
lowed out over here; but from the tenor |
of Assessor Cornelius deductions they |
must wait for at least one more year.
The real advantage Of putting the tim
Der lands on q scale with other land
values on the rolls, is the relief it gives
to the farmer and the holder of small
acreage throughout the county; and the
claim is quite admissible that the tim
Der owner is often far better able to
bear the weight of the high assessment
than the farmer, the dairyman or the
gardener.
