Robert Louis Stevenson puts the value
Of a happy woman at about SIS. sc, he
says. But If one started seriously TO es-
innate her value. It would be difficult
to know Just what figure to put upon it.
Such value is not to be expressed in
dollars and cents; 1t rises above all mon
etary considerations.
The thoroughly happy woman IS a
source OF cheer. And what hasn't cheer
been worth at a critical time in the
career Of many man and woman! II
has been the plank thrown out by which
they have crossed the Rubicon from de-
feat TO success. from dependency to
hope. Happiness is contagious, and the
woman who is happy, not selhshly happy
In her own little interests and achieve
ments, but happy because she knows
the world is good, inoculates all with
whom she comes In contact. with this
germ OF cheer and optimism.
She not only cheers so that spirits
brighten. but she inspires and encourages
The downcast cannot go out Of the pres
ence Of the happy woman without feel
ing like taking a fresh hold, making
renewed efforts. The happy woman in
the home sends out husband and son
heartened and full OF courage 20 do their
work In the world. They are able to
play their part better simply by reason
Of thinking Of her. The thought OF re-
turning TO her presence at night brightens
the hardest day. It Is Ike going toward
the sun, walking into brightness. How

AUSTRALIA CONSIDERING
NEW LAND TAX BASIS

Sydney-The progressive land tax,
which is the most immediately i'm
portant item of the labor program,
was clearly defined last year in the
bill which Mr.. Fishers government
laid on the table of the house before
it was expelled from office.
The tax is to be levied on the rea-
sonable market value of the land,
assuming that the actual improve
ments thereon had not been made"
This sounds highly theoretical but the
New South Wales land tax has been
levied in that fashion for many years,
and recent assumptions show that
owners did not suffer by it. The
tendency las always been to under
value Absentees Cincluding extra
Australian companies and companies
in which more than two-fifths of the
shares are held by absentes) pay on
the whole value; others on the value
less 5000 pounds. The usual exemp-
tions are made in favor of land held
for genuinely charitable, religious or
public purposes. The taxpayer must
make his own valuation. which may
be amended by a commissioner, who
| has power to make also Independent
valuations, or to use those made by
any state authority. The taxpayer
may appeal to the high court against
| over-valuation: the commissioner may
! also appeal to the high court for
! declaration allowing the common
| wealth to resume at the owners val
uation land wilfully under-valued.
The tax is first encumbrance anc

he has entered into possession. Wilfu

pounds, plus treble tax, and esti

COUPLE SLEEP AND FIRE

Portland, Or.-Oregon lays claim

morning.

Mrs. John r. Sutherlin are the sleepy
heads. Passing the Sutherlin home
early in the morning, neighbors found
it on fire. Their shouts attracted no
attention and they thought the Suth-
erlins were away. After half an
hours work they put the fire out with
a garden hose and went home. When
they awoke the Sutherlins were dumb
founded to find their mouse had been
on fire. 1t was some time before the
circumstances could be learned by
them, only the small party of' fire
fighters knowing of the accident.

FAST SCHEDULE
FOR YAKIMA FRUITMEN

North Yakima, Wash.-A 99hour
special fruit train service from Pas
co to st. Paul has been obtained from
Northern Pacific officials in Chicago
by Manager F.. S Melvin OF the
Richey- Gilbert company of Toppen-
ish
This is several hours faster than the
schedule obtained by the fruit grow
ers in a recent conference with
Northern Pacific officials in this city.
Mr. Melvin, who Is to act as Chi
cago agent for his company during
the summer, was instructed by Mr..
Gilbert to see what he could do in the
way of a schedule when he arrived.
In the meantime a number of the
railroad officials came to North Yak
ina, and a schedule thought very ia
vorable was conceded. Mr.. Melvin
probably knew nothing of this, how
ever, and went on with his instruc-
tions
The 99-hour schedule takes effect
August 10. The trains will leave
Pasco at a. m. daily. This gives the
shippers OF the upper valley a chance
to assemble the cars and get them to
Pasco for re-icing before they start
on the journey east. With Pasco 10
hours from here, the service becomes
III hours to st. Paul, which Is bet
ter than was hoped.

MODERN DAIRY BARN AT
OREGON STATE FAIR

Salem, Or-Dairymen and farmers
will find an added interest at the
forty-ninth annual Oregon state fair
Der IL to II. Through the efforts of
Paul V. Maris, superintendent of the
dairy exhibit and the cooperation of
the board of directors, a model dairy
barn has been constructed which in
cludes all the features of conservation
of space, drainage, ventilation and
light that have proven of worth in the
housing of milch cows by successful
dairymen who have made these fea-
lures study.
At this time when the dairying in
dustry has been awakened to the
great possibilities in oregon, and the
primitive manner in which the busi-
ness is conducted, has been brought
to light through the visit to this state
of the great Danish dairy expert, DR..
Bernard Boeggild, of Copenhagen,
Denmark, the announcement that a
model dairy barn will be one of the
attractions at Oregon's 1910 show is
most gratifying to every one, both
dairymen and the whole community
who depend on the COW for a part
nourishment of life, for every modern
method known will be embodied in
the new barn, and a competent expert
will handle the exhibit to thoroughly
explain the up-to-date methods used
in the building of barn and the care
of the animals.

Hermiston. Ore, July 2S.-On this

He is to be here for the purpose of
investigating the matter of the gov

project was started it was understood
by the water users association and its
members that they were to put water

division at that time. This was done
on the first or Hermiston unit, but
not on the other units later opened.
The reason set forth for this was that
