To convince the tax payers of Arkansas that 8 new basis of assessing property is needed. the new state tax commissioners are preparing a table showing the great irregularities existing under the present methods. Horses for instance range in assessed value from S25 a head in Pulaski county to S91 in St. Francis. Benton county is cred- ited the largest number of hor- ses in the state, 10,290, but their assessed average value is only S29, next to the lowest in the seventy five counties. Washington county has 9,5S2 horses, assessed at an aver age of S43 each; Carroll has 5,102 at an average of $50; Madison 4,121 horses at an average of S53. In mules, Benton county again ranks next to the lowest with an average value of S31 per head. Desha is lowest with $50. In Madison county, the mule average is S68 and in Carroll it is $5S. It is the in- tention to correct these irregu- larities and have horses and mules assessed at nearer the same value, for it does not stand to reason that the horses and mules of Benton county are worth so much less than those of ad- joining counties. But the com- mission have big job ahead of them and trouble to loan.- Rogers Democrat.

A SHORT time ago a reporter

A SHORT time ago a reporter for a metropolitan daily paper went into the country to inter view the farmers and their families to learn if there was any
 serious complaint about the life "down on the farm" He found some good material for his paper. He ran across boy who told him that his father had given
 him a couple of runt calves. Thought they gave but little promise of profit to the boy, he took good care of them and brought them out of the "kinks. :"
 When they had grown into steers, sleek and fat, they were sold for a goodly sum and the boys

If they do not move at least once a day you can consider yourself con- stipated and it is time you did some thing about it.
 You will be glad to know there uel Landerdale, an old soldier at Quincy, H., Elmer McMillan, of Speed, Mo-, Mrs. Monahan, of Stonewall, Miss, and many others were as you are now. But one day they awoke to the fact that Dr.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin was curing their cured them. Today they are loud in praise of it.
 What pr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin did for them it should do for you. Surely your constipation is no worse than theirs, one of whom had it since '61. It only remains for you to realize that salts are of but temporary good, and what you want is a permanent cure; that purgative tablets, cathartic pills and such violent things make great show of doing something, but do nothing that is lasting.

DELAY OF NEW PHONE
SERVICE EXPLAINED
THE ORIGINAL PLANS WERE
MODELLED ON TOO SMALL
A SCALE.

Announcement was made yesterday
by D. H. brewery of Portland's divis-
ion contract agent for the Pacific
States Telephone Company, that the
new system for Astoria will certainly
be in operation by May 80, and prob
ably by May IS.
This viii be good news for many
! in Astoria, for while there has been
little or no complaint at the delay,
nevertheless many has wondered
why the change over to the new
system had not been made before,
and the need of betterment in the
service has grown month by month.
According to Mr.. brewery, the delay
of the past couple Of months has been
unavoidable. The engineers from San
Francisco who came here and plan
ned the service apparently made the
mistake of not providing for a big
enough system, and especially did not
provide for the number Of individual
phones that have been contracted for,
The truth of the matter probably
is that the system was modelled four
or FIVE years ago and that the old plan
was carried out without taking into
consideration the fact of the changed
circumstances.
The company will therefore now
have to put in an additional section
of switchboard, and will have to
change around its system to ma
terial extent, The new section of
switchboard has been ordered and is
presumed to be en- route to Astoria
now Mr., brewery states that there
is never any trouble in getting a
switchboard on the ground within 80
days from the time it is ordered, and
he reiterated his assurances that AS
totia may rest satisfied that by May
Is, or BY May 80 at the latest, the
new service will be in operation,
1t should be understood that the
present service is already to cut in
now at moments notice, and has
been ready for quite time, but it is
thought best not to put the new serv-
ice in commission at all until it can
be placed in operation as a whole, and
therefor the delay is ensuing.
In the new system there will be
over 500 individal phones; while there
will only about rs four-party lines,
and the remainder, a goodly number,
will be the two-party lines. The old
