aster to Sandry, Silets sat holding
the strange documents. A great anger
began to well in her against the other
woman. She opened the buttons OF
her blue shirt and dropped the folded
packet inside It's blouse.
On the Siletz road Sandry and Miss
Ordway were strollIng back. They
stopped q moment at the forked stick,
and Poppy Ordway dropped Sandryp
letter, re.sealed, into the sack before
his very eyes. It was a daring thing
to do and il set her blood leaping for
Joy in her own coolness. When they
reached the camp she went directly
to her room.
It was a long time before she came
out again and Sandry had gone. When
she did she stood In the doorway and
looked at Siletz. white and filled with
towering anger, and Siletz, looked
back as white. They were women,
pure and simple. and they matched In
that moment their wit and their
strength. Miss Ordway knew by that
look that Siletz had those papers
more. that she knew their contents
but she dared not say a word. If the
girl should show them TO Sandry.
should destroy them She was al.
most on the point OF finging herself
upon the slim, dark creature. risen
along the doorpost, and fighting for
possession Of her property. But there
was something sickening in the steady
CLINT of those dark eyes, in the half
wild crouch OF the slender body. and
she only stood and held to the Intel
consumed with q wrath that could
have killed.
But the wrath Of Siletz was worse
1T would have killed forgetful Of the
Preacher, whose word had been her
simple law OF life. forgetful OF Sandry,
who had become her pattern in his
sanity and judgment.
With an effort the woman molstened
her lips
"Did--did you fnd-a bunch of-let-
ters?" she asked between her gripping
| teeth.
And Slletz, for the first time In hes
life choked down her literal fear OF
damnation and lied.

first, and then. NO"

HERE IS YOUR 1916 AUTO TAX
Figures showing What You Will Pay
on Different Cars Per Horse
Power and Weight

The blue Book" from the secretary
of state indicates that some Of The 1916
models will require the following liceL
fees: Abbott, 5 6; Auburn, Sl2 10: Aus
tin, S2l; Buick, II %; Cadillac, SLIP;

To show how the tax works out, the
following instances are given:
Ford touring cars, 1915 model, weight
l,50o pounds; horsepo or %, cost 81. 10
on weight and So so on horsepower, Il
total tax of 1925. Ford ruuabouts and
town cars have the same horsepower
rating, but the runabout weight is only
300 pounds, while the town car IS 700.
The ruDabout owner pays total of S.
70 and the town car owner total of SO
70.
Ford delivery truck, weight LOO,
horsepower %. At 10 cents the truck
rate, the tax Is 2.55 on weight and So. =
30 on horsepower, total So 50.
Under the new law the state tax is
the only tax which the automobile owner
is called upon to pay. Heretofore he
has paid So for his license and was also
assessed for personal property tax in the

these, the state and county dividing the
collections on $3.50 basis. Both the
state and county, however, have to de-
vote the proceeds to road development
purposes.

MUCH POLITICS
DUE THIS YEAR
Two primaries and two
state conventions besides
caucuSses, county and
district conventions ga
lore.

While the political pot is boiling and
the columns OF the daily press are filled
with speculatious as TO who will be the
nominees Of the several political parties,
and candidates and their friends, from
president to patbmaster, are laying plans
al d pulling wires to secure a nomina-
ton to the particular Office desired, a
word, perhaps, as to approaching events
10 which the voters are locally and gen.
orally interested may be timely.
Locally, the first election to be held is
for village officers, on March ID, the
second Monday.
Town meeting occurs April 3, the first
Monday, at which township officers are
to be elected and 9th township busi-
ness transacted. Caucuses, of course,
will be called by he several committees
at the usual time.
The most important matter to come
before the voters next spring is the
presidential primary, which will be held
on town meeting day. AT this election
the voters will be given what they NEVER
had before, the privilege Of expressing
president Every man who is entitled
to cast ballot should attend this cleo
ton and vote his choice for president Of
the Nation This IS not, however. a
vote directly for president, but is really
vote OF Instructions to the delegates
that will be chosen for the National con-
veutions of the dff,reot parties. Ii is
r OF likely that any delegate would be.
tray his constituency by not carry ing
out such instructions; scarcely more
likely than that presidential elector
would cast a vote n the electoral college
for other than the regular nominee of
his party.
Another primary election will be held
on the 20 b day OF August, the last
Tuesday of the month, at which state
and county officers are to be nominated
and this will be folio we'd by county and
state conventions.
Attention will be called to this last
mentioned primary and the conventions
at a later date.
