City Council Fixes the ak Levy;
Northeastern Railroad Should Pay
On 100000 in Vacant Property

The city council met in regular ses-
sion last night and considerable busi-
ness was transacted.
City Assessor Beaumont reported
that in the matter of the assessments
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the New Orleans and North
eastern Railway the railroad commits.
sion had referred the matter back to
the city.
The assessor reports that the West
ern Union has but one wire assessed
by the commission which is valued at
but $66, when in truth they have num-
bers of wires the aggregate valuation
of which amount to $4,000.
The New Orleans and Northeastern
Railway owns property to the valua-
ton of over 100000 in the city, which
has never been assessed as 1t has
heretofore paid taxes only upon the
right-of-way as assessed by the CON-
mission. This error occurred owing
to the fact that the right of way calls
for but 200 feet through the city while
it is really 600 feet. The additional
400 feet owned by the railroad COM
pany has up to the present time been
considered as part of the right-of.

PARTY LINES 0BLITERATED;
new ORGANIZATION NEEDED
Chandler and johnson Would Suit
"Mars Henry" but He Is Out of Pol
itics and Will Henceforth Devote
His Talents to Mere Essays.
Associated Press.

New York, October 14.-In an irr
terview today Colonel Henry Watteft
son of Kentucky, said to Julius
Chambers, representing the InternS
tional News Service:
Party lines have ceased to exist
We must have a new party-a division
of the people upon ether lines. The
old parties are dead. Roosevelt has
destroyed what was left of the Re-
publican party. Rooseveltism is like
Organism in 1S96-like it in many
ways. Bryan would have Mexicanized
our currency; Roosevelt's reelection
will Mexicanize the state. II he is
to be kept in the White House. by
all means let it be for life. Make him
king! Do more than that-make him
emperor"
The colonel then spoke of the hope
lessness Of Democracy until William
Jennings Bryan is politically dead.
Look at Bryant For seven years
I have been proving to him why he
should not longer disturb the future
of the once real party in which was
raised. But haven't faxed him, II
he is weak today. he Is stronger to-
morrow; or vica versa HI WiIl net
go out OF the way for others H
will ditch the train, If he cannot rfde
in the box. l have quit politics for
ever. wouldn't go to the convention,
state or national. l have been pug
nacious, heaven knows; but I'm
through with that. shall become, or
try to become, an essayist,, dealing
with the simplicities of life-the
beatitudes, if you like. No more
politics for me-"
"Of course, politics is the hfe's
blood of the American newspaper. !"
he resumed, after a bit of historical
"reminiscences. 81 suggested Governor
Johnson of Minnesota because I know
him to be clean and intelligent. There
are other men quite as sincere
equally honest and surely as capable.
l am not in faor of anybody, am

1t is false. l know his father. The
son comes of fine stock. How would
"Chanlor and Johnson" suit me?
Good as any, il Mr.. Bryan could be
eliminated. He is destroyer Of
plans and a breaker of hinges.
am sick and disgusted with the peo-
pie of my state, how should l be ex'
pected to take any interest in the
prospect of carving New York with
a man who has proved his popularity
by attaining office when the head
of his own ticket was defeated? No

testimony of H. c. Westcott, vice pres
ident OF the company, the names of
the independent companies were re-
tanned to conceal the semblance of a
trust. He said that the Standard Oil
Company not only received reports
from all of its own agencies. but that
it had system of securing reports
of the business of its competitors, and
that by this means it was possible to
tell when an independent plant was
in the way and whether or not it was
advisable to buy 1t.

Fine String of Game.

d. S. Southmayd returned Mon.
day from Yamhill county with a
string Of Chinese pheasants that
would make the heart of any hunter
leap with JOY. Laden with nine
teen nice, large. plump pheasants,
the veteran hunter was escorted 10
his home by large following of
local sports who were anxious to
secure one of the trophies. AS a
hunter Mr.. Southmayd has few
equals. His father was a mighty
hunter before him, and whenever
hunting season approaches South
mayd begins to feel uneasy. He
has many interesting stories to tell
of the days gone by when he hunt
ed game for the markets. One sea-
son in particular he was unusually
successful. 1t was in the winter of
OF 1880 in the mountains in the vi
cinity of Prineville that single hand
ed he killed over 700 deer and an
telope. He has also killed many
wagon loads of pheasants, fourteen
bear, three elk, and numerous deer,
antelopes, panthers, wolves and
other game in his time. Certainly
a record that any hunter fright
we'll feel proud of.
