NEW ROAD IN FINE SHAPE

The road to Newport via Falls City
is now in excellent condition for trav-
ell, according to Roadmaster Finn,
who made two trips over this highway
last week. Leaving Dallas at 1880
Friday morning he went to the Lin
coin county line without Interrupt
tion because of poor roads, making
the distance Of 81 miles in a little less
than two hours. The rOadmaster liked
the trip so well that he returned Satur-
day evening for fishing trip, but stop
ped on Rock Creek, where he enjoyed
a season of splendid angling. He says
the Newport highway, by this route,
was never in better physical condition
than at this time, and he recommends
travel to the coast resort this way.
There is not a bad place within Palk
county he says, and the Lincoln county
roadmaster, Mr.. Porter, has assured
him that the road within that BALI
wick may be travelled on high.-Dallas

R. R. BUSINESS HEAVY

Owing to the heavy volume of passen-
ger business which has developed during
the last few months, the Willamette
Valley Southern may soon purchase
some new passenger coaches to add to
their present equipment.
The company which operates from
Portland to Mt. Angel through Oregon
City has been forced to rent several
coaches from the Oregon Electric COM
pany for use on Sunday. An excursion
from Portland to Mt. Angel in addition
to the usual heavy Sunday business over
the lines has caused a shortage in the
equipment.
The line is thriving with not only the
passenger business, but the freight bust
ness has increased greatly during the
past months, and the officials Of the
lines are enthusiastic over the future
outlook for the company,-Silverton

Realism in motion pictures and
realistic acting are two things that
William Farnum, famous star of the
William Fox production, "a Man Of
Sorrow" insists upon, or rather did in
sist upon until the other day when p
bit Of realistic acting in the part Of
peggy, one Of the leading canine
actors of the world placed Farnum
on the hospital list for a day.
1t came about thus: Farnum, who
has been justly termed the greatest
fighter on the screen, was engaged IN
dragging up the street the villain of
the play, when peggy" cast in n
prominent part, took it upon herself
to defend the villain.
AS 'Fighting Bill'' dragged the vii
lain along by tho neck, with howl.
ing mob in pursuit, peggy" made a.
flying leap and her jaws snapped like
vice on Farnum s left leg.
Not wishing to spoil the picture,
and realizing that "Peggy IS" acting
was all tat he could demand in tho
way of realism, Farnum continued to
drag his victim another block or so
with peggy" clinging to him. So in
tent was he on playing his part that
re did not know how seriously he had
been injured until the scene was fin.
ished
Farnum had the wound cauterized
and was able to resume the leading
role in the production next day, but

ed a piece of ground at between eight and nine thousand dollars, assessed it in 1914 for $128,938. more than four teen times what he had assessed it at in 1908, and the rule of assessment according to law on both of those dates, was the flair market value."
 This is only one illustration of many hundreds in which oppressive injustice was inflicted upon the oys- ter farmers. But not only was the law violated with reference to assess ments, but the rate of taxation has been doubled so that it is now twenty mills on the dollar of valuation, and oyster grounds three miles, from land that can enjoy none of the protection or benefits of the city government, are required tospay a revenue at the same rate as real estate in the cenAer of a populous city.
 Deprived of Police.
 The oyster growers have been un- justly deprived of the police which they paid for by a special tax, and have been compelled to go to each legislature and deny and refute mis- representations intended to procure additional legislation against them They have been harasseda and perse- cuted by short-sighted politicians, so that large number of those former ly engaged in the business have aban- doned it entirely, others have sold out their interests, and many of the lead ing firms have removed their busi- ness, partly or wholly from the state and their capital is being transferred to other lines of investment.
 : I will not take space here to emu merate the many annoying and op- pressive laws which have been enact ed in recent years.
 This short-sighted policy is the lat est exhibition of killing the goose to get the golden egg"
 Farmers on land are encouraged and assisted by federal and state ap- propriations of many millions of dol lars. Swimming fish are propagated for the benefit of the fisherman and the angler at great expense by both state and federal governments.
 Is it then public policy to discour- age the oyster farmer, who at great labor and expense produces his own crops without assistance?
 The excuse has been made that the oyster industry has been prosper ous and profitable. It was so twen- ty-five or thirty years ago. but it does not appear that it should be penalized

Ten Reasons Why
You Should Send for Brooks
 Rupture Appliance

1. It is absolutely the only Appli- ance of the kind on the market today, and in it are embodied the principles that inventors have sought after for years.
 2. The Appliance for retaining the rupture cannot be thrown out of posi- tion.
 8. Being an air cushion of soft rub Der it clings closely to the body, yet never blisters or causes irritation.
 4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads, used in other trusses, it is not cumbersome or ungainly.
 5. It is small, soft and pliable, and positively cannot be detected through the clothing. 6. The soft, pliable bands holding the Appliance do not give one the unpleasant sensation of wearing a harness.
 7. There is nothing about it to get foul, and when it becomes soiled 1t can be washed without injuring it in the least.
 S. There are no metal springs in the Appliance to torture one by cut ting and bruising the flesh. g. All of the material of which the Appliances are made is of the very
 best that money can buy, making it durable and safe Appliance to wear. TO- My reputation for honesty and fair dealing is so thoroughly estab- Iished by an experience of over thirty years of dealing with the public, and my prices are so reasonable, my terms so fair, that there certainly should be no hesitancy in sending free coupon today,

 Dear Sir
 Perhaps it will interest you to know that l have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with it till l got your Appliance. It is very easy to wear, fits neat and snug, and is not in the way at time, day or night. In fact, at times I did not know had it on; it just adapted it. self to the shape of the body and seemed to be part of the body, as it clung to the spot, no matter what position I was in.
 It would be veritab1e God-send to the unfortunate who suffer from rup- ture if all could procure the Brooks Rupture Appliance and wear it. They would certainly never. regret it.
 My rupture is now all healed up and nothing ever did it but your Appliance. Whenever the opportunity presents it. self l will say good word for your Appliance, and also the honorable way in which you deal with ruptured people. It is pleasure to recommend a good thing among your friends or strangers. I am
 Yours very sincerely,

ley had paid additional tax

they had paid additional tax
 In 1908 a movement was started by certain politicians, upon the assump- tion that the taxes upon the oyster properties were not as much as they ought to be. The reason advanced for this claim was that the oyster grounds did not pay to the state near ly as much revenue pei acre as the oyster grounds in Rhode Island.
 In a message to the Legislature by the governor at that time, this was pointed out, but the message failed to mention the basic fact that in Rhode Island the oyster grounds are owned by the state, while in Connecticut the state sold the ground upon prices and terms fixed by itself and that they are owned by the planters, so that, while in Rhode Island the. state. may justly fix such a rental as it may choose upon its own property, the state of Connecticut has no right to exact a rental on property that it does not own. but is justly entitled to a req sonabIe tax upon the value of proper ty owned by the oyster farmers. The message also failed to note the fact that some of the grounds in Rhode Island are beyond comparison more valuable than those in Connecticut, but, even so, it has been found in re- cent years that the rent required in Rhode Island is so high, that the busi- ness is steadily declining in that state, as we'll as in Connecticut.
 Adding More Hardships.
 Misled by incorrect information, the legislatures during the past four years, have added one hardship after another in the treatment of the oyster farmers.
 While the law permits the assess ment of oyster grounds at their mar ket value. they have been made in fact, ten and twenty times as much as they were ten years ago. Oyster grounds that have been assessed at $5,000 have been publicly offered for sale for $500 or even $25O.
 The oyster farmers have been wrongly deprived of many thousands of acres of lands under forms of law, by means of making the assessments so high that the owners were com pelled to give up their lands rather than pay the exorbitant taxes. These lands were bought for cash from the state, and taxes were paid upon them for thirty years, but they were prac- tically robbed from their owners. The same official who in 1908 assess
