TAXES UNPAID NEXT MONDAY WILL BE RATHER DELINQUENT In the belief that the Vienna Cleaning Parlors on North Sec ond were but a gambling den and "blind pig," Chief Wells, assisted by Policeman William son and Judge McFadden, made a raid last night and landed four men F. J. Reams, of Portland, - '- Francis, of Eugene, Harry Waggoner and Roy Rickard, of Corvallis. These men, with the exception of Rickard, were charged with gambling, and re leased on $25 bonds. They were to appear before the court at 9 o'clock this morning, : but only Reams did so. He pleaded guilty and was fined $20. Francis and Waggoner failed to show up, having hired a buggy and driven to' Alban v last merit, - atchine the next train north.

Through a crack in the door the latter two watched a game of draw poker until the men began to quarrel. . When one of the trio swept the money from' the table and arose, Chief Wells , thought it time to act,' and made an effort to break in the door. At this the lights were put out Wells ordered the door opened, .and it did open as Waggoner at ': tempted to make, a get-away. Fadden credit for being all wool and a yard wde. He exhibited all the courage of the gallant six hundred at Balaklava and at one time when the vicious . man . of the bunch seemed about to strike Wells the Judge grabbed his cane with both hands and made the gambler change his mind. The raid has netted the city $70 and this will be increased by the fine that will be assessed against Rickard for drunkenness. '"' "-"' ""' '" - ilGOLOlTS ARRIVING DAILY All taxes unpaid when the clock strikes 5 next Monday afternoon will become delinquent and subject to penalty and in terest. For the last two or three weeks the Sheriff and his depu ties have been kept busy , taking in the coin, and it is probable that the delinquent list will be small, as usual. - Delinquent taxes are no longer advertised, the Oregon Legis lature haying repealed that sec tion of the law. The members doubtless thougnt tne news paper men were getting too pros perous, so they decided to dis pense with the custom of adver tising property before selling it for delinquent taxes. The jiew law provides that any day after the expiration of six months after the taxes charged against real property are delinquent, the tax cojlector shall, upon demand and pay ment of taxes, interest and pen alty, make out and issue a . cer tificate of delinquency against such property. Such certificates shall hear . interest from the date of issuance until redeemed at the rate of 15 per cent per annum, and shall be .-sold to any person, in or der of priority in applying therefor, -npon the pay ment of the . value in principal and interest thereof. At any time after the expira tion of three years ; from the first date of delinquency, the noiaer . oi ,- sucn cerancate may summon the delinquent to re- the lien against .the property mentioned in such certificate. Personal property upon which the tax is delinquent for a per iod of 30 days .after the first Monday in April, or after the first . Monday in October, ; shall be sold for the payment of such tax, and such sale shall be ab solute.
