QUALITY OF POSTAL CARDS.
Experiments in Progress With a View
to Improve the Stock.

AS result Of an investigation under
Postmaster General Meyers direction of
complaints from all parts of the country
regarding the quality of paper used for
postal cards, a change has been made in
the business managers of the postal card
factory at Rumford Falls, Me-, and in the
government agent at that place.
Experiments are in progress with a view
to improving greatly the postal card paper
stock. The Postmaster General has an
nounced his determination to remove all
lust cause for complaint, but that it will
take some time the present stock Of
postal cards in post offices must be worked
off before the new supplies can be fur
nished to the public.
The quality of paper for stamped enve-
lopes, 1t is also promised, will be bettered..

BENEFIT RECITAL.
BY Belvirino College Faculty.

A small, but appreciative audi
ence, gathered at the Opera House
Tuesday evening, to enjoy the de
lightful program presented by the
Belvirino College Faculty of West
Point.
Each number on the program
was replete with interest and pleas
ure and reflected the highest credit
upon the performers. Miss Lovette,
the pianist, displayed skill, taste
and artistic feeling in the execution
Of several classic selections and
proved herself musician Of un-
usual talent Miss Beamon has a
voice at exceptional sweetness and
power, Of great range and feasibility,
possessing a silver clearness and
beautiful meditation. She would
make a decided hit in grand opera.
Miss Hopson gave several imperson-
ations that were delightful, showing
talent of high order, utterly void
Of that rant and affectation, so
usual in many teachers of expires
sion. A Spanish Filtration, danced
in a picturesque costume, was de
cidedly good.
Miss Marie Critz was most evoaI-
lent in the role of accompanist, to
Miss Beamon. The music-Ioving,
cultured people of Aberdeen, for
some unaccountable reason failed to
materialize and thus, We're deprived
Of most artistic and enjoyable
program, rendered by artists of skill,
grace and finish
Miss Lovette was charmingly
gowned in white silk null over blue
taffeta, Miss Beamon in ivory Liber-
ty satin and lace, Miss Hopson in
white princes lace robe over white
taffeta, and Miss Marie Critz in a
pink lace robe over pink taffeta
Miss Ada Roberts received the
greatest number of votes for the
scholarship in the Belvirino College.
DR.. f. W. Doran, Is president Of
the college and has a faculty Of which
he is Justly proud, with an institu-
ton that is worth the fullest pat
ronage and best support.

OREGON PEOPLE WILL
DEMAND FAIR TAXATION

While the people of the state OF
Washington are groaning under
about the worst forms of unequal
and unjust taxation that could pos
sibly be devised, the people of
Oregon, by making use of the in
itiative and referendum law, pro-
pose to raise the burden Of taxa
ton from the home owner, farmer
and mechanic If the amendment is
adopted the bulk of Oregon's taxes
will be assessed on land.
The following amendment to the
state constitution has been pro
posed by the Oregon Tax Reform
association:
"All dwelling houses, all barns,
sheds, outhouses and other i'm
provements appertaining to any
dwelling; all fences, farm ma
chinery and appliances used as
such; orchards. crops and live
stock; household furniture in use
and tools owned and in use by a
mechanic, shall be exempt from
taxation"
The association has issued an ap-
peal to the voters Of Oregon, ev,
cry word of which is appropriate to
conditions in this and other states
The appeal in part, is as follows:
"ThrOughout Oregon for many
years the farmers have been con
scious that a continual injustice
was being done them in the assess
ment and collection of taxes. The
working farmer has been fined for
every stroke of work done on his
homestead and for every improve
ment in the breed of his stock, for
every machine he has bought and
for every attempt to beautify his
