ever before. BY the proper showing
in this respect it is hoped that the

Delegation Asks Information.
Oregon's delegation IN congrfess has

each sheepman in the state will be
asked TO furnish figures showing ex-
actly how much It costs him to pro-
duce the tleeces which are shorn from
the backs of his flocks. The oregon

Sales Dates.

The question of sales dates was al
50 brought up last evening and while
some dates were permanently fixed
the entire schedule will not be agreed
upon for some time. Some of the
dates proposed by the buyers were
confirmed, while a few minor changes
were made. II will be necessary to
ascertain from different local organ
izations what their desires in the mat
ter are before a complete schedule
can be arranged and submitted to the
buyers for their approval.
The Pendleton dates of May "a and
June 5, will not be changed, as they
are entirely satisfactory to all con-
cerned. II is quite possible, however
that date will be asked for by Pi-
lot Rock or Echo and that meetings
will be held by the sheepmen in both
vicinities to determine their wishes in
the matter. If the growers there are
willing to bring their clips to Pendle-
ton for one of the two dates men
toned above, that will be done.
Only One Date for Baker.
Baker City's first cate will proba-
bly, be June 5 as desired by the buyers,

CANNOT EQUALIzE OK
 INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY
Judge Fulk Holds That Tax Commissions Alp pelLate Powers are
 Limited

In an exclusive opinion hand ed down by Judge Guy FuIk, of the second division of the Puias- Xii Circuit Court, this morning, the contention of the Bank of Jonesboro that the State Tax Commission has the right and the power to equalize the assess ment placed on that concern by the county equalization board IS declared to be a wrong construc- ton of the new law creating the State Tax Board.
 The State Tax Commission, ac- cording to the ruling of Judge Fulk, has no right whatever, under the provisions of the law creating it, to disturb the as- sessments on individuals or cor pOrations, when that assessment has been made final by the county equalization board and the county courts. He holds that the new law is cumulative in its nature, adding to the assessment statutes already in force and not repeating the process of appeal mindividual cases through the

circuit courts to the Supreme Court; that the construction sought by the petitioner. the bank of jonesboro. would make the new law imperative and would send the individual to a commission from whose decision right of appeal has been pro- Vided and that tbis construction would also resuiti# a volume of detailed appeals that would render the commission utterly helpless.
 In conclusion he holds that the legislature did not intend to take from the counties the matter of settling individual assessments and place 1t within the jurisdie- ton of the new commission, but to place upon that commission the duty of adjusting assess ments in the aggregate. The demurrer offered by the attorney general to the petition of the bank was therefore sustained and the writ of mandamus order  ing the State Tax Commission to lower the assessment of the bank denied.
 The attorneys for the bank vii! immediately prepare for an ap- peal to the State Supreme Court, in order to settle the question once for all in the highest court of the State.

woMAN's RELIEF CORPS.

Under the. head of good of the order in the meeting of Sedgwick corps, No. Is, at the Buckingham Memorial on Friday afternoon, a paper prepared by the oldest member of the corps and read at the meeting contributed un- usual interest to the afternoon. The author was Mrs. Emma Downer, who celebrated her S1st birthday on March 24th. Mrs. Downer wrote upon the toric My Experience in Flag Making, D describing incidents during her resi- dence in Oaktown, Ind, during the Civil war Relating the way the rebet sympathizers had the place terrorized till the union people sent to Indian apolis for help, she went on to say:
 The next morning. hardly daylight, the train came in with a company of soldiers We slept at a neighbor's as we had no men in the house. Soon as we heard the martial music we arose and dressed and began to wonder what it meant when a fried came to the door and told us about it and advised us to show our colors. But there no flags to be had. Oh, what shall we dol So I proposed we make one. so MT Thompson found white cotton cloth and had some red flannel and some blue, so I put the strips togeth- CT and cut some stars also of cotton and sewed them on, then went out and found a tWig for stan ana SeWed lJ on. and fastened it over the outside door. Soon they came marching by, saw the little rude flag. smiled. salut- ed and passed on. The flag was about Is inches long. as near as can remember.
 The soldiers sought out two of the leaders, capturing one and chasing the other away and then left. telling the people that any further trouble would bring a whole regiment to stay and be fed at their expense. This quieted things for a time
 Mrs. Downer concluded her paper with an account of how she decided to leave OalItown for the east To get the material to make her small boy suitable clothing she had to walk two miles along the railroad track to the next village, getting there in. safety, although bushwhackers would have shot her if she had been a man. Dark Kentucky jeans was all she could get at the store and she had to knit her little daughter hood in lieu of hat When she finally reached New York with her family, she felt overjoyed to have reached the east again, and though not equal to Betsy Ross that she had made a flag to some purpose.
 There was a large attendance at the meeting. In the line of business an in- vitatiOn was received and accepted to attend the G. A, R. campfire next Fri day night, when the department ofh- cers will be here. The Relief corps women are to serve the banouet next Tuesday evening for the Round Table at the Buckingham Memorial.

HNRE RNLANS.

State Vice President William T. May of New London has been secured by the two local Hibernian divisions to make the presentation of the essay prizes next Tuesday evening at Olym- pie hall, and several other of the state and county officers are to be present. The prize winners are to be an- nOGnced at an entertainment given un- der the auspices of St. Mary's parish
 The judges have completed their work and picked out the four prize winners, finding, on the whole. a very satisfying standard of composition in all the essays that were submitted. One feature very pleasing to them is the distribution through separate school districts of the first four prizes, as win be noticed then the names are announced Tuesdcy night. As all the competitors handed n their essays un- der anonymous names, and the real names could only be known to the judges after their decisions had been arrived at. this settles the awards on merit in 0 very satisfactory way.
 Division No. held it's regular meet ing last Tuesday evening in Hibernian hall Two applications were received. Action was taken endorsing the state officers in their attitude against op- tectionable postal cards for St. Pat ricks day, and the local members will use their influence with Norwich deal- CTS to see that these are withdrawn from sale. The committee reported all arrangements completed for the St. Patrick night ball at the armory and everything pointing to make this an nual fixture of the division the finest ever. The decorations will be elab- crate, but there will be no boxes. Al fine concer5 opens the dance.
