WANT-R0OSEVE[T
To RULE AGAIN
Politicians al Washington Say
People Demand It

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Politi-
clans drifting into Washington give the
impression that the people refuse to
abandon the idea of having Roosevelt
succeed himself. Sections like Cali
fornia and Colorado, where the presi-
dents stand on the Japanese or public
lands question caused them to get
their backs up are pleased with the
main political administration and that
they would like to forgive and forget.
Warren, of wyoming says: IF the
president would intimate that he would
accept the nomination from the con-
vention hall, so per cent of the voters
of Wyoming would refuse to consider
any other candidate until they were
certain they could hot get Roosevelt.

REVISE TARIFF
SAYS ELLIS
OREGON CONGRESSMAN DOES
NOT WANT FREE TRADE BUT
EXPECTS SOME ACTION.

Congressman w. r. Ellis, of Pen
dleton, was in the city this morning
looking up old acquaintances. He re-
turned to Pendleton this afternoon.
Asked by a Statesman represe ntative
if his visit here had any political sig
nifcance, Mr.. Ellis said:
No, | was at FreeWater yesterday
tage of the interurban cars and come
up to see a few of my old friends here.
1t is too early to talk politics yet.
There is little to say along that line
just now. The country is prosperous
and everyone is satisfied with the way
things are moving. l think the coun-
try was never so prosperous as now.
What legislation will the western
congressman present for action by con-
gress?' was asked.
That l cannot say. We have not
been together to discuss the question
yet and l do not know whether we will
have anything of Importance to ask
for or not. l will not go east for six
weeks yet. although I am sending my
secretary, Mr.. Baldwin, in about a
week.
What do you think about the reVl-
sion of the tariff" was another ques-
ton asked the Oregon statesman.
"The tariff certainly needs revision.
l am not going so far as to say that
the country needs free trade. But I
think there will be some revision made
at this next congress-

SELL HIM TO R|NGL|NGS
RUNAWAY HORSE HlTCHED TO
A CART JUMPS OVER AN
EXPRESS WAGON.

The runaway microbe got in its
work on the horse belonging to L. D.
Williams, the rural free delivery mail
route carrier, this morning, and the
animal. which was hitched to a light
spring wagon, made mad dash over
a course which began at the front OF
the gracery store of j. B. Braden &
Co., on North First street and end
ed at the Northern Pacific depot the
route taken beir.g by way Of Yakima
avenue.
Mr. Williams was in the grocery
store when the horst started but as he
was handicapped by several yards ne
could not head off the outfit, which
went east on the avenue at a terrific
rate. NJ. T. Ward had his express
wagon backed against the Northern
Pacific depot platform. Straight fol
the express wagon the runaway out
fit went and it looked for a moment
as though the horse would Kill himself
in collision with the stationary OBJ
struction. Instead the runaway beast
jumped for it and completely cleared
the bed of the express wagon, landing
on the opposite side on his feet and
unhurt The rig did not fare so well
for in coming in contact with the eX
press wagon both shafts We're broker
off short. In making his high jump
the horse broke the traces and it is
probably owing to the fact that they
were not strong that the animal wss
able to successfully make the Leap

In the neighborhood of 10000 young
spotted trout have been turned into
Mill and Russell creeks by Ben Wolfe
who has had charge of the Matching
of the eggs, this week. Some, how
ever, We're deposited in small private
fish ponds.
Another shipment of eggs is expected
from the government at an early date,
as the 10000 were but fraction of the
number for which Game Warden Whit

within the next six months some 20O.-
600 eggs will be Matched out at the
local hatchery.

Building Inspector Glasford made an
inspection of the church this morning
paired and again put into use. 1t is
probable, however, it will be used
only until arrangements can be made
for the erection of the new church.
Rev. Thompson said this morning that
it was the intention to commence
work on the new house of Worship
early next spring. In the meantime,
disposal of the lot owned by the
church at Second and Poplar will be
made and also arrangements for the
disposal of the old church building
The lot on which the old church
stands is valued at $4,000. 1t has a
frontage of 60 feet on Second and 40
on Poplar with strip 20 by 140 at the
rear on which is the parsonage. The
church has been offered $4,000 for

That the fire was caused by the Ju-

TAXPAYERS ARE
SLOW TO PAY
HALF THE ASSESSMENT TO COME
IN WITH BUT TWO DAYS
LEFT.

City Treasurer Parks has received
to date about $55,O in city taxes. That
is a nice little roll of pocket money,
even when divided between Treasurer
Parks and Assistant Cadman but it
looks like a burnt match in the rain
compared to the $102, 200 of the total
assessment.
If of this sum there is $4,000 paid
in when Treasurer Parks ties a string
around the tax books Saturday night,
taxpayers will have to come faster than
they have been coming this week. 1t
would seem that several good Walla
Wallans will have to pay that 10 per
cent additional

FACTS FOR THE BOARD OF
EQUALIZATION.

There are a few facts which the
Board Of Equalization of this oouu-
" should consider:
The assessed valuation Of real es-
tate, personal property banks,
railroads, telegraphs, merchants
aud manufacturing, Is a little less
than eight millions Of dollars. The
real estate is assessed at a little less
than five millions, FIVE hundred
thousand dollars The capital stock
of the combined mining companies
Is not less than fifty million dollars.
The surplus products Of this county
for last year were over thirteen
million dollars, The county is in
debt all told, approximately twenty
thousand dollars. There are five
hundred miles Of county roads.
and about twenty. five miles of good
macadam roads and a few good
bridges. Our rate of taxation is:
county revenue. b cents on the
500; road, cents on the 800;
average school, g. cents on the
800.
The enormous land and mineral
wealth of this county does not fall
far below one hundred million dol
lars The Board Of Equalization
should proceed 10 equalize taxation
by first raising the value of real
estate in this county to not less
than $50, OOO, 900
We are aware of the fact that
this would raise the real estate
held by corporations, but why
should their land be assessed at a
lower value than the average
farmers? y man. firm or corpora
ton that owns valuable real es-
tate should he made to pay Just
and equitable tax.
