of weeds and grass, even here, had

seeds ready to do business early and
too much rubbish of one kind and an
other in the way of the drill and bragg,
and it is almost impossible to get the
seed properly into the ground, or to
get it started before the weeds get
ahead of it.
Putting in crop and hoping for big
returns is one thing, and putting it in
and knowing good returns are almost
sure another. We have done alto
gether too much of the former.

Not Dangerous.

A minister's small son had commit
ted some minor domestic crime, and,
fearing the wrath to come, had hidden
himself in the barn. "a vigorous
search was made, but his hiding place
was undiscovered, and as the day
passed on, his parents became
alarmed. It was not until dark that
the small fugitive reappeared, and by
that time anxiety had overcome all
other feeling in the fathers. heart, SO
that his sons appearance was hailed
with relief rather than anger. b.,
Presently, taking the small boy on
his knee, the minister said gravely:
4 It is true, my boy, that could not
find you, but the Lord and the Evil
One both knew where you were"
"Oh, wasn't worrying about them,"
the unrepentant youngster responded.
They were not looking for me with
shingles la their hands"

INJUSTICE
Has Been Done County Assessor
Argues N. L. Holbrook.

Editor Review: I have Just read
your article which so severely criti.
cizes the work of the county asses
sor in fixing valuations on St.
Johns property, and as matter of
simple justice to a capable and
painstaking official desire to enter
a respectful protest to same. am
sure you would not Intentionally
do any man an injustice and feel
certain that you have been imposed
upon by some one in this matter.
Everyone who knows Mr.. North,
the deputy assessor, who covers
the St. Johns field, knows that he
is an unusually efficient and careful
man, and one who tries to do his
full duty.
1t might easily be possible for
some errors to creep in, and some
inequitable assessments be made,
but am entirely certain that no
such conditions as you describe
exists, and ! am equally sure that
the assessment as a whole is fair
and equitable-far more so indeed
than the tax levied by the munich
pal and school authorities. I will
venture to say that not single
piece of land in the entire district
is assessed at its full value. II
there is any such, and the owner
desires to sell at the assessed value,
let him make his wishes known,
and feel positive that he will find
some one willing to take his burden
some property of Of his hands.
Taxes in St. Johns are undoubt-
edly too high, but this should not
be charged to the assessor.
When a public officer brings to
the discharge Of his official duties
the degree of faithfulness, honesty
and good judgment that Mr.. North
does in the discharge Of his duties,
he is entitled to good words, and II
must be discouraging to him, as Il
is to all who appreciate these quail
tiles in a public official, to find his
work a target for severe, and as I
believe, unjust criticism.
The assessor is always meat for
the chronic kicker, who bewails his
own hard usage at being assessed
too high, while his neighbor Is
assessed too low This is a tale as
old as the hills. II tax payers
couldn't revile and snarl at the
assessor every year as they get
ready to pay their taxes, there
would really be little JOY in life for
many Of them.
l do not believe. however, that
you can In this instance give facts
and figures In detail, that will bear
out the charges made In your article
and II you will furnish specific
instances Of what you call inequit.
able assessments, II will be up to
this official to explain, and next
year to reform. l
II, on careful investigation you
lind that you have been unfair,
am sure you will make proper

COUNCIL
What Was Done at the Meeting
Tuesday Night.

All members were present at the
meeting of the council last Tuesday
night.
After the reading of the minutes
Aid. Norton rose and objected to
them, stating that there was nc
record of the protest made by him
against the adoption of the motion
casting reflections upon and villify-
ing one Of the members of the
council. II was a fact that he
fought against the adoption of the
motion, but the minutes contained
no reference to it. This motion as
adopted was an unheard of pro.
ceeding. II was contrary to par
liamentary law and unprecedented.
No member of any legislative body
could be villihed unless charges
had been preferred and proven
against him. The minutes as read
had done this.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Norton S
remarks City Attorney Greene was
on his feet. Anticipating the ex-
plosion that was about to take place
the attorney at once began to pour
oil on the troubled waters. He
stated that the personal differences
between the members of the coun-
Gil have had bad effect both at
home and abroad and had made
the city notorious, and he hoped
the members would desist and air
their differences outside Of the
council hall. All should be willing
to conduct the business Of the
council in a peaceful manner and
work for the welfare of St. Johns.
The council were now at a point
where a little spark would do a
great deal Of damage. The attor-
ney's fatherly talk had the deserved
effect and routine business was
taken up.
The minutes were approved after
Aid. Norton's protest had been
inserted.
l.. Richard presented a petition
to build a roof garden at 2oi Jersey
street, stating that he intended to
make the addition FIRE proof and
thoroughly safe aud substantial.
Referred to the building committee.
A petition for an arc light at the
corner Of Willamette boulevard and
Polk street, aud signed by al prop.
erty owners, was referred TO the
committee.
A bill of sI2. so for a certified
copy Of the initiative aud referen.
dun law, signed by Il. w. Benson,
secretary Of state, was presented.
A letter was read from contrac-
tor I.nwaldson to the effect that the
work OF the city hall was being
with by members Of the
city council and others, and stated
that unless this interference ceased
damages would be asked for.
Aid. Hewitt stated that probably
the letter referred TO him. inasmuch
rs he had been in the building and
asked about certain painting that
was being done. lie denied inter.
ering with the work. however,
