One Minuto Cough Cure cures, That is what it wa maaa i fare, thTTwn, to bankruptcy a 1' -a prey; and people XM 1 When tn Ed- -The poor, hard working, slaving people of this section are hard at work, trying to make money to meet the heavy tax that has just been levied an the property holders of this county.

We have read, and approved, t'he articles in the "Sentinel" protesting against this outrageous levy. Times have been especially hard with the fruit grower of this county ihe past few years. They have had failures in crops, low prices, and all kinds of insect pests to contend with, but the whole people of Sunta Cruz county have a pest to contend with that I think Is a match for the woolly aphis. This insect attacks the very foundation of the tree, and it is just so with the pest this county is infested with. The bug does not seem to let up, no matter how hard the times are.

We nave just about as much use for a steam roller on our dirt roads, as Sunta Cruz Co. has for a rock quarry in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. A good, heavy drag made of timber, and weighted down with stone heavy enough for six horses to drag it over a piece iof graded road, will be much more efficient, leaving the road hard and smooth We had better get at some system of road building first. The whole trouble is too much theory. We have mo system.

Every man you meet has an idea, of his own, and the result is, thousands and thousands of dollars of the taxpayers' money are squandered annually. One mun will pLow up a piece of road from t'he center and grade it, and make a fine road. Another man will only plow up the sidc3 and scrape it into the center and make a failure. And so it goes on from year to year, while the taxpayer keeps on digging up taxes, to bo literally thrown to the winds. Why don't you adopt a system and work to it? Set aside a portion of the road levy for permanent work, and u'-e the balance to patch with.

The pcor poor-house, they say, must be enlarged. Well, maybe it must, but I suggest, before it is too late, you put. a fence around the county and call it a "poor farm," We have already poor-houses enough. I believe in public improvements, but we have had too much of it cf late, the way the times are. Give us a breathing spell, and a few years hence wo can stand a poor-farm and new buildings, and a new steel bridge cm the San Ijorenzo, but just now ease up a little, and if the jail quarters get too cramped, why let out a few of the lusty Mknvs work on the and make them at least earn their board.

I know that the taxpayers will bear mo out in saying that taxes are too high. I know a man who has a little farm of five acres in the extreme limits of East Santa Cruz, whose taxes last year were a sum that can nlot be produced from the place, and the place can only be used for farming except, perhaps, for a poor-house site, and that is about what it is to its In this county the last few years, in nearly all public expenditures, the tendency has been to extravagance. Our road sprinkling appliances have been far more expensive than Santa Claia This county is too poor to go on in this way, and it is to be 'hoped that those in charge of the county's affairs will ease up a little, for the present at least.

Fifteen more will be here today. There was no school at the powder works Wednesday owing tlJ the damaged condition of t'he school-house. The Peoples Progressive Associa tion of Santa Cruz Co. will 'hold their quarterly meeting at Capitola on Oct. 9th.

Miller will today commence tearing up the wooden sidewalk in front, of A. Gosliner's store and Jo Harveston's office preparatory to laying a bitumen pavement. Bills against the county must be filed not later than today, or they will not be allowed next week, as the law requires that bills against the county must be filed three days before the regular meeting lof the Supervisors. In a period of 34 years, dating back to about the time t'he Powder Works were constructed, there have been eleven explosions, an average of one explosion every three years. The loss of life during that period has been less than ten persons.

The force of the concussion by t'ae explosion at the Powder Works Wedr nesday morning cracked a French plate glass, from top to bottom, in the fchow window of Messrs. Thompson Hammer. The price of the glass, tae value of w'Mch is up high at present in the world's market, is about with no insurance. The Electric Railway Co. of this tity is considering tflie scheme of procuring two horse cars from Col.

There seems to be much controversy going on jut now in the tax levy, and the extension of the city's water system.

While what I might wish ta say would not carry much weight, but being, as I am, a taxpayer, it interests me just the same and makes the cold chills run to think of having to look for an increase in our tax in these timea of depression. The parties who are opposing this increased rate are not the only ones who would rise to be heard as against this outrage. They think if Mr. Hihn and Mr. McPherson can not create an impression with the Board of Supervisors it would be of no use for the rest of us, representing but a small portion to make a kick, although we people who own small plaees, will, I pledge, find dt harder to lift this tax than our land owners.

Their cause, I must sny in defense of this increased levy, is one which, should bo considered by the Board of Supervisors, for it affects all classes of people in trying circumstances. We can do without a rock crusher, grader or steam rollers. Go a little slow, Board of Supervisors. We will put up with things as we used to a while longer, and will not have to go in debt either. To tho Board of Supervisors and other office peckers, you people are on hand to receive your salary, which is nn easy thing to say the least.

Now what our people over here want, Is the most careful handling of the people's money. Who gave you your positions? This tax levy, if maintained, is going to work a terrible hardship on the people in our midst. Be careful, gentlemen. This is the sentiment of all East Santa Cruz. The city's water system is all right.

We want water, more of it, and at lower rate3. The statement made all along by Mr. Hihn is in error, that there is no complaint cf excessive charges in East Santa Cruz. The people if interviewed would all tell you that the rates are already too high, but that they have no further redress. EAST SANTA CRUZ TAXPAYER.

23. We are dreamers, all; and dreaming ever! We drenm by night, by day we dream 'Till finally we scarce know whether This life were more than mythic dreams, Alas too oft a troubled dream. The stars upon our eye-lids gleam, Tho sun 'mid heavens sends down hi3 beams; And still we dream, until 'twould seem That life were only meant for dreams, For castle building varied schemes. Sweet infant in it3 cradle dreams-How sweet upon its mother's breast! In thoughtless innocence it dreams That life were but a dreamful rest, For little dreamers heavenly blossed. That human blossom call it youth, Hath day uf sweetest dreums of all; The world were then a stage, forsooth, On which no draping curtains fall, Nor night o'erhangs her sombre pall.

'Twere now, most fitting, dreams of love, That sweetest dream, that nameless) spell, For wooing and the mating clove; Which, as we will, means ill or well, A heaven on earuh, or flames of hell! And, mia-llfe, too, is full of dreams Of castles built to disappear. With rainbow tints, now fancy teems, Much come and go wita passing years Too oft dissolve in mists of tears! The setting sun, when day is done, When evening breezes voice the main When orange, crimson fade to dun, And shadows lengthen o'er the plain, Then comes the time for dreams again. 'Tis then again on mother's breast, Kind nature's bosom fior us all, Our heads repose for dreams and rest. While gentle night o'crsprcads her pall We peaceful wait t'he morning' a call. Hail whitening locks! Hail bowing head, Hail furrows deep of toils and tears! Hail life's bright dreams, all phantoms fled! Hail journey, Long! The end is near, Which we a pp reach, nor dread nor fear! Hail, dimly veiled, that yonder shore! Hail purple hills and valleys fair! Hail flower-decked fields forevermore, Beyond the vale of sigh and tear! Hail hand of love ho lead us there.
