With a tax roll for the present year
of $4,4S5,S94.69 and a bond limit OF

Two horses were burned in the fire

The barn belonged to John Michel,
who IS now in Salem, and contained
about SIX tons of hay, three horses,
belonging to A. s. Roberts, who states
that he cannot tell the exact loss to
him but believes it to be about $500.
The fire is thought to have started
by leaving a lighted lantern in the
barn that evening, but it is not
certainty.
Johnny Steuben worked like a Tro-

"and succeeded in geetting one of
the horses out all right but my riding
horse and one of the horses used in
the team were burned, one dying in
the stable and the other was injured

to crawl to the door. but the flames
were so fierce that the firemen could
not reach him. His wife. however,
dashed through the flames, and al
though badly burned dragged her
husband out. He lived only a few

Toxic, Japan, oct. 24.-Marquls
Katsura, prime minister of Japan, to-
day gave me a private audience and
officially gave to the people of the
United States, through the United
Press, the warmest expression of his
good will. and t1e most definite, ex-
planatory statement OF Japan's policy
every made by an official in author
ity.
He declared that the Amrican oc-
cupation OF the Philippines was OF
great benefit to civilization, marking
one Of the most important steps In
the Advancement OF the east. The
Interests Of Japan and America in the
far east are identical. Both are
seeking to advance civilization.
The marquis said: 81 most heart
ily endorse the speech of Viscount
Kaneko yesterday in which he said
Japan would welcome an American
fleet in the Pacific because it would
be a great power for peace and Will re-
lIeve Japan OF the arduous and ex-
pensive burden of making fleet
great enough to police her waters and
ensure continuance OF the Pacific re-
lations The preservation and integ-
rty OF China is the aim of both coun-
tries. This can be easily accomplish
ed bv the cooperation OF the two
countries without imposing a burden
upon either.
"The only thought that Is seriously
confronting Japan is the disposition
Of her surplus population.
This is the one thought of the
government. Japan disapproves of
emigration to America. Our aim is
TO complete the colonization of Korea
by the development of that country we
would be able to relieve the condensed
population at home.
Japan has no territorial ambition
and there is no desire on the part of
Japan to engage in conquest. That
is the farthest possible thing from
the governments plans.
81 enthusiastically endorse the call
ing OF an Oriental conference and Will
aid in bringing it about. a power
full association is being formed by
the most influential scholars and
public men to bring Japan and AM
erica to a closer understanding of the
problems OF tne orient under an agree
ment which might be known as a
Japanese-American alliance. Through
this association 1t is probable that a
proposition TO call a conference for
England, America and Japan will be
brought officially to bear on the gov
eminent.
'I wish to express through the Uni
ted Press to the people of the United
States the great pleasure the visit of
the fleet has given Japan. l extend
to them the kindest regards and
friendship of the Japanese" |

SHERIFF COLLECTS sG7, 900 MORE TAXES

Sixty-seven thousand dollars in
taxes. more than that of the proceed
ing year was collected by Sheriff Tay-
lor during the year just closed, as is
shown by the report of 1907 taxes
which has just been completed by
Deputy Funk.
The great increase in the amount
of tax collected Is due to the greater
need of the county for money during
the past year and was occasoned by
n heavier levy than in previous years.
Although the sum of money handled
was much greater than in the pre-
vious year the errors made in the Of
flee were less and amounted only to
