ASSESSMENTS REDUCED

A general reduction in assessments
on buildings has been made by As
sessur - p. Stra and he is announc-
ing the act to the people today by
notices sent out to individual prop
erty owners The reduction Will dN-
erage about ten per cent and is made
on the majority of all buildings in the
county.
This is the first time in the remem-
hrance of taxpayers that such a gem
eral reduction has been made and the
first time they have been apprised OF
reductions by formal notices through
the mails.
The notices state that the assessor
considers the life Of the ordinary
wooden building to be fifty years and
that deterioration renders a lowering
Of assessments necessary occasionally.
In addition to the reduction on
buildings reduction averaging about
ten per cent is also being made on
fruit lands in the east end Of the
county and upon some of the Land
about HermistOn.

ASHLAND

n 0 a large extent the vail
" dauon feature Of the Pen
dleton normal school bill
was prompted by a desire 10 be
fair to southern Oregon. The
till validates the location of the
normal school at Ashland and
while providing no money for
that school at this time recog-
.nizeS the fact that normal in
trucuon should be provided
Tor that section.
The character of the little
city of Ashland is such as to
Justify the step that was taken.
Ashland is a splendid location
for a normal. The population
is over 5000 and there are 800
grade pupils enrolled in the
public schools, thus providing
sufficient pupils for the prac-
Ice teaching work.
The environment at Ashland
is ideal for a state school. The
climate is beautiful and the
civic spirit wide awake and
progressive. Lithia Park, from
which Ashland is drawing
much fame, is one of the most
pleasant spots in the west. Its
beauties represent a combina-
ton Of nature and art and the
effects are marvellous. Ashland
people have expended $780,
600 on the improvement of the
park and they have provided
something of which the entire
state may be Justly proud.
After the PendletOn normal
school has been established the
time will come when the peo-
pie will revive the normal
school at Ashland. Such a
school is needed there because
southern Oregon is as remote
from the Willamette valley as
is eastern Oregon. 1t is much
farther from Portland to Ash
land than from Portland to
Pendleton. Southern Oregon
is an empire in itself Just as is
eastern Oregon and its need for
normal instruction cannot be
met by the little school at Mon
mouth.
! On the normal school issue
the people of eastern Oregon
and southern Oregon have a
common cause.

PLAYING TO THE WAR
SPIRIT

addressing an audience
n at Grand Forks, Dakota
Yesterday Justice Hughes
said I'VE cannot hold up our
heads unless deeds follow
words"
Since he was speaking in cri-
ticism of the Wilson foreign
policy it is fair to assume Mr..
Hughes feels that President
Wilson should have gone far
ther than he has done in back
ing up diplomacy with force.
He seems not satisfied with a
diplomatic victory over the sub
marine issue. He seems dis
satisfied with the fact our sol
diers on the border have. had
no fighting to do. He urges a
more drastic course for this ma
ton and daily cries against the
presidents efforts for peace.
In other words unless the re-
publican nominee is quibbling
upon a dangerous subject ne
stands for war. Diplomacy Is
based on words. Deeds mean
war when the term is applied
TO foreign affairs. Mr.. Hughes
is for deeds and therefore nc
may be counted as one who be
lieves that our foreign troubles
should be settled with the bayo'
net. incidentally there is
very powerful element of tory
republicans who hold such
views. They have long argued
ior a war with Mexico.
But will the rank and file o.
the republican party stand fol
such leadership. Lincoln re
publicanism does not carry {;
helmet and a sabre. The Lin
coin republican believes in JUS
tice. peace and the rule Of rea
son. That type of republican
believes in backing up the pres
ident, not in maligning an'
carping at him while he face
foreign difficulties. The Lin
coin type of republican ha
more in common with Pres
dent Wilson than with Justic
Hughes.
When he talks Of the nee
of deeds in preference to word
Mr. Hughes either haggle
with a most serious matter @

HIGHER PRICES THIS
WINTER PREDICTED
Food. Clothing. LuNuries
and Materials Go Up
At Chicago

Chicago, Sept. 2l.-Prlces of
food, clothes, luxuries and materi.
ais have advanced alarmingly with.
in the last year, according to a table
of comparative prices complied here.
Merchants and producers say that
prices of food will be even higher
this winter. Every person feels the
increased price in practically every
purchase, it was said. Food prices
vary. according to quality and
quantity. For the small purchaser
at retail they are higher. Whole.
salers said that canning houses all
over the country have announced
that their deliveries would be only
0ne.third of the normal amount.
The vegetable crop, it was declared,
was only half Of what was expected.
Canned fruits will be 80 percent
higher and canned vegetables will
be advanced from Is to 20 percent
according to wholesalers. Paper
bags which a wear ago could be
purchased in wholesale lots for IS
cents, now cost $l55. The advance
is typical Of all paper and paper
products.
Cigar jobbers raised their prices
this week. Five cent cigars which
the dealer had been getting for $31
or $32 thousand have been adj
vanced to $35. Better grades of
cigars also have been advanced.
Cotton goods have advanced be-
tween Is and 35 percent. Woolens
also have kept pace with cottons.
In the best lines of women's shoes
the prices have almost been doubled,
dealers said.

Growth Of the Silo

1t is said that farming in the
Middle West is undergoing a great
change. Kansas will plant a very
much reduced acreage of wheat
next autumn. Farmers who have
given study to the situation believe.
and with reason. that Americas
chief competitor in wheat-Russia--
Twill have a full supply to offer when
the Great War is ended. and they
believe the end is near enough to
justify their hedging by giving at.
tention to other crops.
Many of the big farmers are
turning to alfalfa. beef cattle and
hogs. Ten years ago in one county
there were not more than a dozen
siloS where today there are one
thousand. In 1890 Kansas had
only 100 in the entire state. Now
there are more than 10000 and they
are going up at the rate of eight
a day
The Silo seems to have been a
lucky strike invention for the far
mer all over the country, and there
are very few farms in Vermont to.
