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

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

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. We stopped to the door
just in time to tee him enter an estab
lishment further south on the ttrest.
We'll exouse bim this time.
The progressive ladies of Weslfield,
Ind., issued a "Woman's- Edition" of
the Weatfleld New, bearing date of
April 3, 1890. Tbe paper i filled with
matter of interest to women, and we
notice the following from a correspond
ent, which the editors printed, realiz
ing that it treats upon a matter of vital
importance to their sex: "The best
remedy for croup, cold and bronchitis

matter of Sherman county, and fur

Latt Monday evening, at the home
of Mr. and Mrt. M. C. 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 many friend of Mr. A. H.
Blaketley, of thi citj? will regret to

stroke of paralysis, not sufficient to
entirely disable him, but the recent
stroke wat more tevere, rendering him
tpeechlea and otherwise helpless. Mr.
Blukesley is about bo year of age, and
it it not expected that he will recover.
Mr. D. C. Tedford toak his departure
last Saturday for North port, Wash.,
on the Columbia river, near the British

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.
