COUNTY COURT
MoTo GUILTY

Almose every day one hears
some croaker ripping it into the
County Court, hlaming it with
the high taxes and the high cost
of living generally. The County
Court has very little to do with
the taxes being high. which we
will undertake to prove to you.
The tax in Toledo this year
will be 34.4 mills. OF this
amount the Court gets 4. mills
for county purposes, and six
mills for roads and bridges. All
the rest of the ,34.4 mill tax goes
for purposes Of which the Court
has no control. State tax, school
tax, city and port tax, ETC., etc.,
are levies over which the Court
has no control, still they are
given the entire blame for the
high taxes.

TlDELAND OWNERS
NEED NOT WORRY

The c. &. E. tideland grant of
lS74-85, after lying dormant for
several decades, has kicked up
quite muss the past couple of
years, and by reason of the eff
forts of some Portland attor-
neys, some of our tideland own
ers have been caused much wor-
ry. The placing of same on the
assessment roll by the assessor
has given fresh cause for wor-
ryment and has started several
rumors which have no founda-
ton whatever.
We went to Assessor Ball with
the idea of getting a line on the
matter, and as an opening shot,
told him that it was rumored
that he had placed this tideland
acreage on the roll by order of
the railroad company. Mr.. Ball
informed us that he was not TAX
ing orders from the railroad
company. and they had nothing
to do with its being on the roll.
That this land had been a very
active problem to him and the
Sheriff, as the decision of the
Court gave this land to the rail-
road company and placed the
matter of ownership beyond
question, and therefore it was
the Assessors duty to place
same on the roll this year, also
the Sheriff's duty TO place same
on the roll for five years back.
Mr.. Ball informs us that this
land placed upon the roll in the
name of the railroad company is
all new stuff upon the roll, and
has never been assessed before.
the title. having rested with the
state. That now this land
would bring in revenue to the
county, the amount Of taxes due
10 date on same amounting to
some $22, 900.
There is no reason why tide
land owners should get excited
about the matter as our Asses
sor has placed nothing on the
roll, In the name of the company
that has been assessed to pri-
vate owners heretofore. II noes
not effect land that has been
decided or patented. The rail-
road has assessed to II the land
which 1t owns by grant from the
state and is the land locally
known as water front, and lies
below the meander line. This
assessment does not effect any
privately owned land and the
property rights Of the citizens
OF Lincoln county, have been,
and will continue to be protec-
ted, notwithstanding the COM
pany claims as marsh land some
OF the lands above and beyond
the meander line.

the average public cares for farce
comedy, there is not enough "meat"
to it. The real reason that e'The
Girl Without Chance" has scored
such an emphatic hit is that the
author knew the value of a laugh
and knew exactly where to place it
to strengthen the piece" We are
inclined to agree with him. A good

RUN OVER BY AUTO TRUCK.
Harold Peters Falls Under Wheels of
Heavy Loaded Truck, and is
Badly Injured.

A distressing accident occurred
last Friday morning on the depot
hill on south Main street when Har-
old, the seven year old son of Sher-
man Peters, fell from an auto truck,
and the wheels passed over him,
breaking his right leg between the
knee and hip, and tearing the
muscles apart in his left arm, which
will probably cripple him for life.
The freight truck of the Leon Bus
and Transfer Co., with Roy Wood as
driver, was coming up from the de-
pot with a load of $500 pounds on
it. The Peters boy and another
youngster climbed on the truck un-
known to the driver, and when part
way up the hill the Peters boy fell
off. The driver knew nothing of the
accident until the other lad told him
Harold had been run over, and he
stopped the truck and ran to the
boys assistance. Harold while
moving around on the truck lost his
balance and fell off, falling under
the rear wheels, which passed over
both his hips and his left arm, in
flicting the injuries above describ-
ed, and how he escaped from being
crushed to death is mystery, as the
truck had an extra heavy load on it..
He was also badly bruised. DR.. Bow
man was summoned and gave the lad
and he is getting along
nicely and will recover in time.
This accident should prove a
warning to a number of boys who
have been in the habit of jumping
on the auto trucks, and is not the
first time boy has been hurt. The
driver cannot see them, and in this
case no blame can be attached to
him. Parents should caution their
children in regard to this matter.
