In last falls election the State of
Oregon, where the people rule, vot-
ed in favor of county option in the
matter OF taxation. Every county
may decide for itself what property
shall bear the burden of taxation;
what shall be EXEMPT from taxa
ton. and in what manner its quota
of taxes for the state are to be
raised. This has paved the way
for the single tax, and it is expect
ed that a winning campaign will be
made in most of the 80 counties of
the state. If this program is car
ried out, Oregon will have the hon.
or of being the first state in the
world of applying this economic
principle, and the results will be
watched with intense interest thru
out the civilized world. 1t may
lead to the great economic revolu-
tion that is necessary to restore

When some of the smart-alecks
in the state capitol snubbed the
rather plain looking county attor-
ney Of Lake County who was look
ing for information regarding the
water supply Of the City of Two
Harbors they caught a Tartar. Un-
able to secure any satisfaction from
the State Board of Health, he star
ed a little private investigation of
his own Of the Health Department
and published his findings in a lit
tie pamphlet which he has distrib-
uted among the members Of the leg
islature. Thanks to Representative
johnson, the Tribune was also sup
piled with one. We hope to pub
lish some parts of this pamphlet in
our next paper. This game official
from Lake county found that while
the Board of Health is pleading
that it does not have money enough
to investigate conditions in Mime
sofa towns, more than one-half of
the annual appropriation of $14, 600
is paid to the executive agent who
is also illegally the secretary of the
board. Last summer while viru-
lent epidemics of typhoid and other
preventable diseases were ravaging
Minnesota towns, this much-paid
Board of Health was enjoying a
trip thru Europe at the States ex-
pense, and when filing his expense
account of over one thousand dol
lars, he was unable to make any
itemized account but Jumped it by
charging his fare and expenses back
and forth and ten dollars a day for
Cd davs while sightseeing. We
have heard complaints about the
manner in which the State Board of
Health has been run for years, and
it is up to the legislature to make
cleaning out of this department.
Get someone at the head with more
ambition to accomplish something
for the people Of the state and with

EXPERTS RARELY MAKE
GOOD FOR THEMSELVES
AMONG THE MANY ENGINEERS
AND ASSAYERS IN INTERMOUN-
TAIN COUNTRY But FEW
HAVE "STRUCk 1T RICH"

How many mining experts and as
savers can one name who have made
fortunes in mining in the west?
1t is a notable fact hat out of the
many mining engineers and assayers
to be found in this intermountain re-
gion. but very few have Struck it
rich To give a plausible reason for
this failure would be difficult as it
would be TO answer the question:
How old was ANN" 1t would nat
urally seem as though. with their
education along mining and engi-
neering lines. with their familiarity
with ores and formations, that many
of our mining experts and assayers
should have made fortunes through
opportunities offered along the lines
of their profession, but. they
haven't. just the same. They are
successful when serving on the stan
of mining companies, when deter
mining the value of ore samples sub
mitted for testing and assaying. But,
when 1t comes to acting on their own
judgment. and for themselves. they
seem as helpless as a Wall street
banker during his first visit under
ground. Almost daily instances
could be cited where the expert and
the assayer have Opportunity
thrust upon them, only to be care
lessly thrust aside and ignored.
For instance, take the case of the
Camp Bird mine at Ouray, Colorado,
which made Tom Walsh both rich
and famous. One of the owners of
this property was an assayer of rec
ognized ability. He had beer inter-
ested in Camp Bird for a long time,
and had helped in the performance
of considerable development work.
As a matter of fact, the property had
been patented. One day Tom Walsh
came along and picked up some of
the rock on the mine dump. In 1t
he ga what he believed to be free
gold. The owners thought it was
pyrites of iron. When he had made
a test of the ore Walsh found that
he was right In his conclusions.
Later on he obtained a bond on the
property, was invested with the title
by the payment of a few thousand
dollars, out of which he afterwards
took several millions.

STOPS SANTA

ROCKY MOUNTAIN CANARY
CARRIES MESSAGE THAT SAVES
THE LIFE OF AN INJURED
MINER AND BECOMES FAMOUS.

A strange story comes in from
Siberia. a desert siding on the Santa
Fe, which would seem to indicate
that burros possess more intelligence
than is usually credited to them.
Henry Cooling, a desert miner, COM
ing in from the Borax Lake country,
met with a mishap ten miles out from
Siberia, falling and badly featuring
a leg. He was unable to mount a
horse and was in danger of perish
ing.
As a drowning man grasps at a
straw. Cooling thought of scrib-
bling a message for help and tying
1t on his burro, knowing that the
little animal would be the first of
his creatures TO reach a watering
place. and it might be that miners
would be there and discover his APP
peal.
He managed after many attempts
to get his appeal, scrubbed on a To-
cation blank, tied about the foreleg
OF his burro, and then started the
animal of with a clod. The next
seen of the burro he was standing on
the main line of the Santa Fe, and
refused to bulge from the roadbed.
despite the whfstling Of the Cali
fornia Limited.
The engineer was compelled to
bring his speedy train to a stop to.
prevent hitting the animal. Conduc-
tor, crew and passengers swarmed
from the train to discover what had
caused the big limited to stop in the
heart of the desert. The passengers
We're %uproarious on finding the meek
little animal standing as though
asleep in the path of the train.
Suddenly a young m dis
covered the pathetic appeal tied To
the animals leg. When 1t seemed TO
all as though the dumb creature had
really blocked the limited for the
purpose of attracting attention to its
masters needs for help. the women
on the palatial train fairly showered
the little creature with endearments
and one woman, said to be the wife
of a Boston millionaire, declared she
would buy the burro If she had to
pay his weight in gold.
The train crew turned the note
over te a water tender. and a search
was started for the miner, who was
found in delirium ten miles south
of Siberia. IL Is understood that the
water tender has directions from the
Boston to open negotiations
for the burro. which Is being cared
for at her expense. Efforts to learn
her name have so far proven fruit

HOLOUP DIES ON
NEVADA DESERT
CONFESSES THAT HE WAS ONE
OF TWO HIGHWAYMEN WHO
ROBBED LOVELOCK MAN IN
SAN FRANCISCO.

Retributiye justice has oyertaken
at least one of the night prowling
thugs who have beer holding up and
robbing pedestrians in San Francisco
during the last winter, says the Reno
Gazette. Tom Meade was the name
and death was the penalty exacted by
inexorable fate for his offenses
against the laws of the land and his
fellow beings-death by violence on
the bleak, storm-swept desert of Ne
yada, under circumstances that drew
a confession from the lips of the dy-
Ing man in a last effort to appease
the tardily awakened conscience.
On the evening of February 18th,
A. Madden, a mining man of Love-
lock, Nevada, was held up by two
men IN Mission street, near the post
office. While one of the highway
men held a revolver at his head the
other Went through his clothes and
took his poeket-book containing $3.50
Madden did not report the robbery
to me police because, as he said,
the robbers We're masked and he
would be unable to identify them if
they We're caught. He concluded to
pocket his loss and say nothing.
Two weeks ago Tom Meade was
found on the railroad track near
Loyelock in a dying condition. He
was badly frozen and scarcely able
TO talk, but before he died he made
the following statement:
My name is Tom Meade. / was
trying to work my way to my home

his head while | went through his
pockets. l got a purse that con
tanned $3.50. and the name A. Mad
den was stamped ON the inside Of the
purse
The purse was found on Meade's
body after he died, but no money.
The account of the finding of the
man on the railroad track and his
confession was published in a Love
lock paper and seen by a friend of
Madden. who forwarded it to him in
San Francisco.
Il never expected TO hear from the
robbers again and had become recon
ciled to the loss of the money" said
