LAST GREAT WEST

Just opened by the Grand Trunk
Pacific railway, now completed
through the great Nechaco valley,
British Columbia, to Prince Rupert on
the Pacific ocean. Most productive
soil, plenty of wood and water, eli
mat mild and equable, being west OF
Rocky mountains where the winds are
from the warm Japan current. Album
dance of outrange. A fine farming
and stock country just being develop
ed. Great opportunities for energetic
men in farming and stock raising. We
have lived in the valley for over seven
years and know it thoroughly. We
can give true information on all con-
ditions there from actual personal
knowledge. Inquiries answered fully
and truthfully. We have some of the
best lands for sale and few choice
tracts to exchange for improved or
partly improved Willamette valley
lands. E. P. Hazen & Son, Belling-

SONG THE SUNDAY SINGS.

Let Others rave from cradle to grave,
On Apollo's lutte and the lark,
While Lyssie trots at forty knots,
From the sirens magic bark.
But care less for Bach and the bird,
Than the bell when hash call rings
I'll tax my kinks in the next three
winks,
On the song the Sunday sings.
Oh the pains it takes and the pains
it gives
To quench the public thirst,
What matter how, what matter now,
Or whether last or first,
just so the grub hides well the hook,
And suckers pull the strings,
So get your gun and peal pun
AT the song the Sunday sings.
Come see the skads of new made fads,
That deck the newsy way;
l feel the thrills shoot through my
quilts
As l view the gay display.
What wonder that the layman 5 mind
Has wandered from the text,
To the latest trip of Dolly Dip
And Mammals Angel-neXt?
(The pity that this darling bird
Neglected sprouting wings,
That she might fly purer sky
Than the song the Sunday sings.)
What brings the Sunday morning
press
To fit you for your mass;
What's there that 9 well, what S
there to tell
Your Sunday morning class2
There's nothing there that will pre-
pare
Your mind for better things;
There's only prep. for the watch your
step
In the song the Sunday sings.

ENDORSED AT HOME.
Such Proof as This Should Convince
ANY Dallas Citizen.

The public endorsement Of local
citizen is the best proof that can be
produced. None better, none stronger
can be had. When a man comes for
ward and testifes to his fellow citi-
zens, addresses his friends and neigh
bors, you may be sure he is thorough
ly convinced or he would not do so.
Telling ones experience when it is
for the public good is an act of kind
ness that should be appreciated. The
following statement given by resi-
dent of Dallas adds one more to the
many cases Of Home Endorsement
which are being published about
Doan's Kidney Pills. Read it:
Mrs. Mary E. Gibson, GA Church
street, Dallas, Oregon, says: ~ have
used Doan's Kidney Pills and they
have been taken by others in our fam

THIS is ASSESSMENT TIME.
Assessor Myers and His Deputies Will
Soon Be Among Property Owners.

Assessment time, which commences
the first of March, is again here and
Assessor Myers will begin calling up
on taxpayers for their annual prop
erty returns, when he RECEIVERS from
the mumps. This being the case II
may be interesting at this time to
offer brief explanation of the ever
changing assessment laws. A recent
law relating to the true cash value
has caused considerable annoyance
and misunderstanding. This law
(Sec. 1891, 1913 Laws of Oregon) re-
quires each taxpayer to furnish the
assessor with a list of all his taxable
property in the county, stating to the
best of his knowledge and belief, the
true cash value of each item and verl-
fly the same by oath. This true cash
value is entirely separate from the
assessed value and has nothing to do
with the amount of tax to be paid.
The law is compulsory on the part
of the assessor as well as the taXpay-
er and the latter should understand
and respond without causing unreas-
enable delay in the field work.
True cash value is taken to mean
the amount property would sell for at
voluntary sale made in the ordinary
course of business, taking into consid-
Grafton its earning power and such
other factors as may be applicable
for determining such value. All val
ues are based on March l at l o 'clock
a. m. Personal property must be as
sessed to its owner at that time re-
gardless of how many times it may
have been sold since. Said owner is
also responsible for the tax. Money,
notes and accounts are aSSesSable to
the owner at his place of abode
whether the property is in this coun-
ty or elsewhere. Household furni-
ture, jewelry, wearing apparel, etc,
in actual use are exempt From taxa
ton U. 1913, page 15). This does
not apply to hotels and rooming hous-

Dallas People Hard Hit.

of whom had largely increased its
business in 1914 over the previous
year. The amount of insurance COW

Oregon to Send Nearly 10000 Horses
to Combatants.

Unless the war stops in the mean
time, between 5000 and 10000 horses
will be bought and shipped from Ore
gon during the summer for the allies
in Europe. Already more than 1000
horses have gone from Oregon and
more would have been shipped had
they been available.
For the past two months agents
have been scouting the ranges look
ing for suitable animals for service
at the front From present pros
poets there will be at least 5000 avail
able, and probably more by warm
weather. There is a market for ev-
cry horse that meets the require
ments, the animals bringing an aver
age of $50 each. Ar this rate, Ore
gon will receive somewhere between
$68,000 and $4,000.
Range horses are preferred, as they
are hardy and fit for rough campaign
work. The horses must also be light,
as they are intended for cavalry. Sew
eral thousand horses could be ship
ped in the near future but they could
not stand the winter now prevailing
in the war zone, and every horse has
to be broken before it is shipped.
Horse wranglers will be worked to
the limit breaking the untamed range
animals, and there is so much of this
breaking to be accomplished that the
cowboys of the state will have steady
work.-Telegram.

LIQUOR CASE REVERSED
SHIPMENT INTO KANSAS UP
HELD BY SUPREME COURT.
Wholesaler Enjoined by State Tribu-
nal Is Protected Under Inter
state Commerce Statute.

The Kirmeyer liquor case, one OF
first Importance to the prohibition
laws of Kansas, has been decided IN
the United States Supreme court
against the state. 1t was alleged that
after receivers had been appointed to
oust various wholesale liquor dealers
from doing business in Leavenworth,
Kansas. M. Kirmeyer went across the
river into Missouri, established a
warehouse there and continued to de-
liver beer in Kansas. The Kansas
Supreme court held that his removal
was a mere device to evade the Kan
sas liquor law and that the trade was
not interstate commerce Sin good
faith"
The Supreme court held that Kir-
meyer was entitled under previous de-
cisions of the court to protection for
his trade as interstate commerce and
dismissed an injunction issued by the
Kansas Supreme court. Justice Nc
Reynolds said in the opinion that the
Kirmeyer case arose before the pas
sage of the bb-Kenyon law prohib-
iting shipments from wet to dry terri
tory and that neither its construction
nor application was involved or would
be passed on.
Justice McReynolds said decisions
of the Supreme court precluded furth-
er discussion of the following facts ::
"Beer is a recognized article of COM
merce. The right to send it from one
state to another and the act of doing
so are interstate commerce, the regu-
lation whereof has been committed to
congress; and a state law which de-
MES such right or substantially inter
feres with or hampers the same is in
conflict with the constitution Of the
United States. Transportation is not
complete until delivery to the CON
signee or the expiration Of reason
able time therefor and prior thereto
the provisions of the Wilson act Of
1890 have no application. y

not on her way home to Lansford
from Fargo where she entered plea
of guilty in the United States dis
trict court to embezzlement of the
funds Of the Lansford postoffice

The court in passing sentence took
into consideration the fact that the
money embezzled had been paid back
to the government, some of it by Miss
Hanson herself and the other by her
bondsmen.
1t seems from the statements of
the case in court that Miss Hanson
had simply used the funds of the
postoftice for personal purposes and
had intended to replace the amount
but the postoffice Inspector dropped
in and made the investigation before
she could restore what she had used

CALLS cREAM-RATE HEARING
Railroad Commissioners Believe Local
Express Charges Are Too High
May Change Interstate Rates

Bismarck.-The Commissioners of
railroads have called an express cream
rate hearing to be held in this city,
following the Ignite coal rate hearing,
and every creamery in the state is in
terested in this matter.
The commissioners believe the To-
cal rates are extremely high and the
rates to the concentration plants out
side the state so low i'm comparison
that the local creameries are suffer
ing and even the largest creameries
of the state are at decided disad-
vantage. Practically all of North Dak-
ota's cream, it is said, is being ship.
ped out of the state and to the Twin
City creameries; the North Dakota
creameries receiving a very small pro-
portion of it.
According to information received
here. the Interstate rate has been
approved by the interstate Commerce
Commission and there is no hope of
reducing that rate. The commission
ers of railroads however, will prob
ably change the interstate rates SC
as to give the local creameries a
chance to compete with the larger
outside concern.
