Ha litt been member of llie board for almost four years, tad in Our opinion hat workvd faithfully for what lit thought was to the beet interest of the county. The expenses of the oounty have been fur loss during hit membership of the board than they were for many yeert previous. Thit information we get direct from the county auditor, and it It greatly through Mr. II array's efforts tlmt the change hat bfcea brought , about. Mr. Harvey lint ninny (Hernia in the oounty who with him tucuett In the far north and a safe return. Kelso Journal, Mr. Harvey it well known in Columbia oounty, and hat many friendt here who with liiin un bounded tuooeat in the north. Livkmt Loooino Year.- A better condition of financial and commercial I.. l.l- ... ,t I .. at all know, to a great extent upon the logging and lumbering industry, and every band on the general Indicator points to a aurceaafui year in that line all along the Columbia river, and cer tainly thle county may confidently look for lie thare In the tame line. From all quartere in Washington comet the good newt of inoreatlng ac tivity aad increased price in the log- S'ng cam pi. It It acknowledged roughout that taction that $5 per thousand or more for logt will be the ruling price thit year, and oertalnly waget will advance in the tame degree. With the price of logt at f 5, logger will be enabled to pay better waget and run larger erewt, which of neona tity, will add wonderfully to the gen eral bntinett throughout the Motion in which the work it being done. Bhingle-millt and logging-canipt run ning at full blast, along with many aawmillt in our oounty, will bare tbe good effect of inoreatlng waget and affording employment to our people. Oub Stath Tax With the excep tion of the year 1894, the tax due the atate from Columbia county will be leat thit year than hat been the caae einoe 1800. Ia 1803 the amount paid the atate from thia county wat 16,711. 01 i in 1804, $3,800.88; in 18U5.I6, 188.44; and in 1808 tax paid in 1807 fwat 6,502.78. The tax to be paid thit year ia, at of former yeart, paid on the preceding year, which tbowa our as eaaed valuation, lesa exeinptiona, to be l,358,filr5, and aince the ttate levy it Axed at 3 tuilla, the amount to be paid the ttate it f i,7G5,15,which,the law aayt, must be paid by March 9th. Columbia county hat a reputation of being prompt ia tbe matter of paying ttate tax, and no doubt Treaturer Wharton will alrive to maintain the good name. At a result of premptnett in thit matter, Columbia oounty hat bad bat little iu Ureal to pay the ttate on derred payment, the amount being in It thut paid aince 1890 amounting to 1109 21, in 1804 the amount being 189.49 paid on 1893 tax, and in 1895 $19.72, being interest on deferred pay rnentt on 1804 tax. It it to be re membered tbe atate board wat flow in 1894 in computing the teveral relit, and at a consequence it wat late In the tpring when tbe tax roll in thia county wat ready to turn over to tbe jmerilT, tbua causing the delay in tbe payment of tbe state tax, and necea aitatlng tbe payment of interest It it to the Interest of tax pay en in onr county to be prompt with their pay mentt, thut avoiding paying intnrett to the ttate. Vnleee the money hat been turned over to the treaturer, at a matter of fact, tbe ttate tax cannot be paid, and uules our taxpayer reapond readily to the call of the theriff for taxet, we are again placed in the tame poaltion of having interett en atate taxes to pay. Not to b Improved Captain W, L. Fitk, under whoae supervieion a survey of Bcappoote bay, with a view to itt Improvement, wat made some time siuca, reports advene on the matter. The detailed report of Mr. Fiak it evldenoe that he made a thor ough examination. He sets forth, in an impartial manner, the retouroet ad jacent to the bay ; tells of the average commerce there ; tpeaks of tht tplendid timber; of the great quantitiet of cord wood ihiooaa out of the bay each year, and f tbe adaptability of the imme diate tection for dairying: yet, he states emphatically that he does not consider the bay worthy of improve by the general government. It we remember correctly, it wat the detire l those asking this improvement that the oourte of Bcappoote creek be changed by turning it into the bay at a point about three milet further touth fA where it at pretent enters the bay. In tbe report of Mr. Fitk he states that so far up the bay at me mourn of Bcappoote creek there it a goad Wiannol. with an average depth of water of eight feet, but above that point the channel is winding ana widening, and oontalns a lets amount of water. It wat from that point up tht bay that the improvement wat hotted for. and In so doing the lower part of that body of water would also, of necettily, be improved, lhecoun try of the upper part of tbe bay, as Mr. Fink syt, ia given principally to dairying and ttock-raiting, hut naa thit improvement been made it would have enabled the people to devote more attention to logging and the cord wood induttry, which, of necessity it an important and growing induttry Of eourtu, the tection of country along the bar hat the advantage of rail faou itiea, but we are of the boliif that had the improvement in the bay been made, it would have addt-d materially to the advantngea of the settlement and brought the country forward In an advantageous degree.

In view of the fact that the oounty court was not advised ol the ttate tax levy previout to its adjournment last week no levy was made for 1897, but in all probability when the matter ia the bvy will he thu itn as It was the year previout 27 mill. It I the desire of the present board to levy a tax sufficient to meet current ex pense and In addition reduce tht in debtednes a little each year. We be lieve the taxpayer of this county will be better able this year to pay a 27 niill tax than they bave been the two or three years previous, and it wa probably with this Idea In view that the board, In connection with other matters, defferred action in the prem ises. Judge Doan and Commissioner Frakea will meet, we understand, on the 23th Inatant and Ox the levy. We have assurance, however that the levy will not exceed 17 mill, and if it fixed at that tbe county will be enabled to reduce the indebtedness several thous and dollars, Among the item contained in the proceeding of the commissioner's court which appear elsewhere in thit issue, is one in regard to delinquent taxes that hat been carried on the rolls for many yeart, consisting of assess ments on homesteads, double assess ments, inoorreot description of prop erty, poll tax, tax on personal property removed from the county, and mort gage ataotaments, amounting in the aggregate, to about $13,000, which the oourl very eorrertly ordered stricken from the rolls. This oounty has been carrying these amounts along from year to year, and estimating them a resource, when, In reality, thoy were absolutely worthiest, and a tource of no little trouble and extra work, "Stop my pa perl" exclaimed a man Tuesday afternoon, as be rushed into our office, and the tone of voioe with which ha looked at ut denoted that he meant business, and with but little ceremony we proceeded forthwith to lake Ihb name off the list, but it wa not there. After a few excited inquir ies be discoved that he wat in the wrong print shop, and hit apologetic phrases came so thick and fast tbnt we lost aiirht of all other circumstances surrounding the matter in our alow recovery from fright, and when we realized what bad happened, our man wat gone.

The progressive ladies of Weslfield, Ind., issued a "Woman's- Edition" of the Weatfleld New, bearing date of April 3, 1890.

Gray, ended a teriet of tix garnet of drive whiat, which has been a source of mnch pleasure to the players. Tbe scorns of the various players have been varied, and without consulting the score-cards it would be difficult to atate who tbe champion is. Drive whiat it a hard game to beat, and the lets-experienced player usually has tbe best score. Thit tlx-game teriet hat been a pleat ant one, and it it hoped the garnet will be continued. There It an extraordinary amount of work in the oounty clork't office at the present time. Work of ascertain ing the amount of assessable property In the several school districts has been prosecuted, and so toon at the districts report their leviet the tax on the roll will be extended to that the sheiiff may begin collecting, the district hav ing until February 1st to report. Be tide this work there is a great deal of recording to do, and taken altogether the clerks and assistants are kept ex tremely busy. The many friend of Mr. A. H. Blaketley, of thi citj? will regret to learn that he received another stroke of paralysis last Monday night, and is confined to bis bed in an absolutely helpless condition.

Tedford toak his departure last Saturday for North port, Wash., on the Columbia river, near the British Columbia line, near where he bad bought 20,000 shares in a quarts mine. Mr. Tedford thinks hit miue it a good one, and it wat hit intention to push delopment work on the ledge, and at tooa at potcible make the mine a shipper. There is a prevailing idea that the county court allow, in the full extent, everv bill presented to it. but if our readers wilt carefully scan the list of bill allowed they will readily ascertain that the court carefully considers each bill before it la passed upon, for in many instance the amount allowed ie much lex than the amount asked. Fred Caples, of Columbia City, re turned latt week after about a year's absenoe ia the North. During the time he visited Rossland, B.
