Rejects Offers to Pay License.

Columbus, O.-Every day Secre.
tary of State Thompson rejects
offers to pay the state tax from 500 up

license law in operation. Ohio has the
law, but it is not working. In an opin-

General Ellis held the law was uncon.
stitutlonal, giving as his reasons that
it was not uniform in operation; de-
prives municipalities of the power to
regulate the use of the streets as to
certain vehicles; its provisions are
indefinite and uncertain.

DEVELOPING OREGON
Correspondent Tells of Railroad and
Irrigation Work In Inland
Empire.

BURNS, Or, February ITO the
Editor. III thought / would write you
a letter for publication. This winter
has been fine for the stockmen Of
Harvey county, as they have not had
to do much feeding up to the present
time, and most Of the stock is grazing
on the range. Much less snow fell
than in former years, but there has
been more rainfall than for several
years past. The coldest day we have
had so far was degrees below zero.
New settlers are coming here every
day, looking for Government land,
both improved and unimproved.
Several large land holdings have
changed hands in the last few months,
the most important being the closing
out of the French-Glenn Livestock
Company to Portland business men
and William Hanley, of this county.
This was one Of the largest stock
ranches in the United States. 1t con-
tanned about 100000 acres of decided
land, all under one fence. The ranch,
including 10000 head Of stock, was
sold for 81, 100000.
There has been considerable trouble
over desert land in the valley during
the last year The success of raising
grain on sage-brush land without
irrigation has caused lots of trouble
for desert land locators. The principal
contest in which the people OF this
county are interested is that between
the Pacific Livestock Company and
the Harvey Valley Improvement
Company. The Livestock company
is trying to prove that the land held
by the Improvement company under
the Carey act is not desert land. The
tract contains 10000 acres of the besl
farming land in Harvey Valley, ant
last year the same kind Of soil pro
duced from 80 to 40 bushels Of whea
per acre without irrigation. Thi
large tract has been held for over sil
years without any effort to get waite
on the land. II the Livestock com
+ pany wins, it will be the means OF tn
Government throwing this fine bod
of land open to settlement under tn
r homestead law.
The Oregon Eastern has commence
I the permanent location of its railroa
: from Ontario to Natron, and has fou
: surveying parties in the field betwee
8 Vale and Christmas Lake Vale!
From present indications, the roa
0 will be completed as soon as possib
and will do more to develop Oregon
n inland empire than all the big irr
# cation projects combined.

MARO'S LATEST SENSATION
Weird Exhibition Of Magic as Per-
formed by Famous East indian
Fakirs.

This is Maro's latest Magical sensa-
tion wherein he gives weird and
wonderful exhibition OF Magic as per-
formed by the East India fakirs.
From a small Indian shawl previously
shown empty he produces first, two
white table cloths, which are placed
on two empty tables. From the shawl
Of Mystery he then produces dish after
dish Of viands, fruits, nuts, etc., etc,
until the two large tables are covered
with fifteen large dishes all filled with
edibles, portions Of which Marc dis
tributes among the audience, He also
produces tray with six glasses, each
filled to the brim with water, Marc
then produces from this wonderful
scarf first, small bird cage contain
ing live canary, then another larger
cagc containing large white dove
then a very large cage standing three
feet high full Of other white doves.
Then suddenly there appears an i'm
mense boquet nearly three and half
feet across from which he produces a
very mysterious and inexhaustible
dish out of which he takes many
beautiful nosegays, hands full Of bon
bons, etc. Suddenly and without
warning the audience are much sur
prised to see in Maro's hand large
oriental pagoda from which large
tub (which is previously shown empty
is entirely filled with confetti. Then
to the wonderment Of all, The Great
Marc produces from this empty tub
several white doves, then several rab-
bits, hen and rooster, and a duck,
until the stage does indeed look like a
glimpse into fairy land. You must
see Marc if you wish to see the great
est wonder Of the age,
