BAND OF b. c. CATTLE SEIZED.
Eighty Head Feeding ON this Side o
the Line Taken.


About eighty head of cattle belong
ing to the Osoyoos Land 4 Cattle Co.,
bf British Columbia, were rounded up
Friday by Deputy Collector of Customs
~. A. CRUDE and Marshal E. G. Weldon
bit the N. G. Barlos ranch, northeast of
DrOville. and located just on the Amer
1can side of the International boun-
barry. These cattle were being fed at
1he Barlos place and the action of the
heputy collector was made on COM
plaint filed with him. Mr.. CRUDE
Brought SO head of the cattle down
from the ranch and is keeping them in
"A. j. JacksOn's field. These cattle had
been brought across the line without
entry and were subject, under the law
10 seizure and foreclosure. The col
)ector of customs for this district has
recommended that cash penalty be
Imposed instead of forfeiture of the
Battle. This recommendation must be
eoncurred in by the United States at
torhey for the Eastern Washington
district and approved by the United
States secretary Of the tresury before
i becames effective. The law permits
the bringing of cattle across the line
binder bond for exhibition or breeding
purposes, but no provision is made for
Bringing them into this country for
Needing.
Collector Millard r. Harrison is very
Reasonable in his attitude toward the
Enforcement of the penalties provided
Ind is making an effort to effect a
compromise by the imposition of a
bash penalty rather than forfeiture Of
he stock.

TAX SCHEDULES
STIR PROTESTS
Meeting Called ut OkanOgan to Take
up Question OF Values Fixed
for Assessment.

In response to the protest voiced
throughout the county against the
schedule of values upon which lands
are being assessed this year, the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Okanogan
County Taxpayers League has issued
call for meeting at OkanOgan next
Tuesday March 21. The county COM
missioners, the assessor, the advis-
ory committee appointed by the league
and all others interested have been
invited to attend this meeting.
Land owners of Nelson, Brewster
and other sections of the county have
been refusing to sign assessment sheets
as protest against the valuations.
This action is not taken as reflec-
tion on the work of the deputy as
SCISSORS. but because of the belief that
the schedule adopted by the assessors
office Is unreasonably high.
1t is pointed out that the schedule
OF orchard land values fixed by the
assessor for assessment purposes is
out of all proportion to their actual
values here and far higher than sim
liar schedules elsewhere in this part
of the state. Orchards, according to
classification, are to be assessed at
from $50 to $500 in this county. In the
Wenatchee district where Gully devel-
oped orchards sell at times as high as
$4,000 an acre, and where normal
prices naturally are much higher than
in this county, because of greater ma
turity OF trees and higher develop
ment Of the industry, the maximum
value for assessment purposes is
$500. In the Chelan district the max
imum value is $500. Douglas county
places a maximum value of $3.50 on
its orchards which include the East
Wenatchee district. Saturday the or
chardists of this locality appointed a
committee consisting of j. A. Black
Ter, Fred f. Teas, W. l.. Clark, w. A.
CRUDE and w. II. Thayer to take up
this question of assessment values,
and it is expected that this committee
will attend the meeting at Okanogan

Portland. Ore.--FollOwing a pre-

pOndent some days since shocl, the
dust of Spokane from his brogans
and headed westward, landed in Port
land where he is giving very mod
est imitation of what the general pub
lie would designate as the loathsome
aimlessness of the life of the idle
rich. However. If there are any ricn
who give up their lives entirely to
idleness. we have failed to discover
them in our travels, for it has struck
us that those who have much are con-
stantly struggling for more, and in
his age of hustle the man who wants
more, and about every mothers son
of them can come under that classifi.
cation, cannot expect to pluck off any
thing extra unless he throws out the
hooks and grabs. Our season of idle
ness. however, is self-imposed and
only temporary, and thank the Lord it
is such, for how man can continue
to drag out an existence with nothing
specially to do is far beyond our un-
derstanding. There have been Occas-
ions when we kind of envied the man
leaning up against fence post pre-
occupied in killing the hours. but the
few times we have had chance to
slowly push time behind us for linn
tied periods knocked that envy gally
west. The man satisfied with doing
nothing is a clog on the body polite,
is curse to himself and an utterly
useless member of society
But this kind of dope is getting us
nowhere as we started out to report
that at present we are a small atom
among the hOrdes that go to make
up the floating population of the me-
tropOlis of our neighbOring state of
Oregon. We unlOaded a healthy guam

railway, better known as the North
Bank, and there are several other
lines radiating out of Spokane headed
west that would just as willingly
have accepted the donation, for while
all roads may not lead to Portland,
there are a good many that do, and
that is one reason for the fact that
there is a great city well on in the
making straddling the Willamette
river at this spot on the map. We have
no reason to regret our choice of
routes. although if any one is out af-
ter scenery it must honestly be said
that the North Bank is niggardly i'm

the travelling public. Grade. was what

that ] 900 additional acres in the

as the OrovilleTonasket district,

year 1t is now estimated that be-

Bloody Shooting
ARRAY in Heart
of Magic City,

Miami, April ia feud of some
weeks standing eliminated late yes
terday in the heart Of the downtown
section, into revolver battle during
which o. M. Callahan, a contractor,
was shot several times, perhaps ia
tally, by ]. F. Goodman, a carpenter.
Callahan's brother, John Callahan,
is alleged to have wrested a revolver
from a policeman during the melee
and it required two officers to keep
him from shooting Goodman. Good
man had to be beaten to the ground
before the could be handled by the
officers.
Hundreds of passersby witnessed
the affray and hampered the efforts
of several policemen in their at
tempts to prevent further shooting.
Three bullets entered Callahan's
body and a fourth grazed his face.
Two other shots went wild and an
other cartridge jammed before it
could be fired.
Callahan was rushed to hospital.
1t is doubtful that he will recover, it
was said. Goodman is locked up in
the county Jail charged with an at
tempt to commit murder.
1t was said that the feud began
when Callahan was asked to accom-
pany Goodman and his party to a
dance. A refusal resulted in a dis
agreement. Eye witnesses yesterday
afternoon said that Callahan and his
brother approached Goodman, who
drew his revolver and started shoot
ing.
