OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER. Tub destruction of the tawniill at Pittsburg by lire last wock ia overt evi dence of sonic unscrupulous party's uncontrollable deiire to wrtck the prim itive business interests nj retard de velopment and progress in the excep tionally advantageous Nehalein valley. It is sad misfortune and one that plainly photographs the despicable character and disposition in such a vivid type aa to work no end of disadvantage to that portion of the cuunty. There seems to be so question of doubt in the minds of the owners of the property bnt what the lire which wrought the destruction was of incendiary origin, aud the fact augurs to the discredit and dis advantage of the entire valley. In fact former capers of such a disreputable and dishonable nature which have been perpetrated in other parts of the valley is conclusive evidence that somebody is determined to keep the valley down and back in a business sense. tiich con duct is but the photograph of the inner soul of desperate characters, filled with jealousy and determined not to prosper nor permit their neighbor to do so. It would seem that the Bole desire of each resident of that valley would be to fos ter enterprise and encourage the estab lishment of manufacturing plants of every nature, in order to increase advantages and develop the country, but instead the opposite ambition seems overwhelmingly dominant in some one or some few. A similar fate overtook the sawmill at Vernonia a few years ago, and only about one year ago Freeman's mill near Mist was destroyed by a ruth less fiend. It requires unbounded cour age in the face of such conditions for a man to devote his energies and capital to the establishment of business enter prises when he has no reason to expect anything else than such a fate as has met nearly every undertaking of that nature in that valley. In consequence of such conditions progress and devel opment cannot be expected to be other wise than very slow and quite unim portant. Elsewheke in this issue will be found a list of the connties in the state which have been required to pay interest to the state on deferred tax payments, to gether with the amount paid by each connty. These amounts, according to a .decision of the supreme court, will be returned to the several counties. This condition of affairs should not exist. There should be a law upon our statute books making it compulsory upon all counties to pay their state tax by a cer tain time in each year, and the assess ment and tax-collecting laws should be so rearranged as to make it possible for the proceedings of the county officials in the matter of assessing and tax col lecting to be complied with, a condition of affairs which does not now exist. These several amounts of interest were paid into the state treasury under the old law, which provided for March 1st, of each year as the date when state tax became delinquent. Under that law it was an utter impossibility fur the county officials to perform their duty in regard to tax collecting matters, for the reason that the tax roll could not be prepared for collecting at that date. The law states that the county clerk shall not begin the work of extending the tax on the roll until alter February 1st. Let the work be prosecuted with all possible haste, even in so small a county as Columbia, it cannot be accom plished short of five weeks, and when the state tax became delinquent March 1st, what opportunity was there for compliance with the lawT It is to be hoped that the next Oregon legislature will find time and opportunity to rem edy some of the existing evils in the tax collecting and aemssHment laws. This government cannot be wheedled by sentimentalists or dragooned by political opportunists into forming or delivering any expression of sympathy for or interest in the South African conflct. It is nono of our business, any how. One of the contestants is our friend, bound to us by the ties of con sanguinity and mutual interest, and the other is a people struggling for what it believes to be its rights. Let the god of battle decide it, and let us, as a nation, keep our fingers out of the fire. We have troubles of our own, pleasures of our own and business of our own that should command otir undivided at tention. When the trouble is over we will help to bind up the wounds and nurse the sick, but until it is over we will have nothing; to say. If you are in need of some nice, up-to-date stationery it will pay you to leave orders at this office. WAHIIKN ITEMS. Mrs. J. S. Haeon and Mrs. F. M. Hoyt are on the sick list this week. Mrs. Mollie Puudhy and Miss Lillian I-arnon spent a ftw days in 1'ortland the latter part of last week.

Tho Warren Public School Literary Society, which was orsuiued at the be ginning of Prof. Allan! s school, gave its tilth programme last Friday afternoon at the school house.

Jacquish for the last four months, left here for La Center, Wash., on rnday, where they will try their luck at farming. List Gamble, in coming in last Satur day with a load of shingles, was hung up on a stump in the road, which made him so late he had to stay all nibt at John Lindsay's. He returned home on Sunday. The Red Men's entertainment given here Saturday night has been pro nounced a bowling success by every one who attended, and the home talent have proven themselves equal to any em ergency. For a curtain raiser, E. Butts and J. Archibald proved themselves to be old hands in "Red Hot Massage," a farce that made the shingles rattle. Then came the descriptive song, "Broth ers," but as the audience did not feel in a sympathetic mood it took the "World's fare" bill of fare to touch the right spot and set them going again. But the next scene presented all that was so eagerly looked for the forest, the camp fire, the Indians lying around in slum ber, the guards on watch at their chief's tepee, then the ghost dance, so wild and wierd, the paleface captured by the hunters and brought into camp. "He is shot full of arrows, slashed and chopped with knife and tamahawk, placed over a can of powder and blown over the tree tops, but finally is allowed to join the tribe, so he rr-ceives the brand of the tribe upon bis back with a red hot iron and while the stage is aglow with red fire, a beautiful tableau is presented as he is crowned and admitted as one of the tribe. The crowd was the largest ever gathered here for any social event, and would have been larger only that the nail would not nold tnem. Alter the last curtain the ball was cleared and the light fantastic was enjoyed until the wee tut' hours of morning. HOl'LIOX ITEMS. James Cox left forTacoma Wednesday.

Paragraph No. 4 ot section No. 4085 of information which every road supervisor 'should 1 familiar with In order to pcr- form the dulie of his otlice. Following ia the paragraph : " In any county of this state the county court of such county at the time of levying taxes for county purpose mttv, if in the judgment of the county court it Is for the best interests of the county, levy a tax upon all the taxable property in the county, not to exceed five mills upon the dollar, and in addi tion thereto a poll tax of two dollars bo assessed upon every persou who shall be liable to p"V a state" poll tax, which taxes shall be collected with and at the same time and in the same manner as county taxes shall bo collected, and shall be paid into the county treasury, and shall be kept as a separate fund, to be known as the road fund, and shall be used for the purpose of laying out, opening, mak ing and repairing county roads, and building and repairing bridges ; and no other tax or other taxes for the purpose in this section mentioned shall be levied or collected except that the county court may oiter fringes ouiti or rcpaireu out of the general fund. Such couuty court shall apportion the taxes so collected among the several road districts in the county, having due regard to tbe amount of taxes collected in tno several road districts, to the conditiou of tbe roads and necessity for repairs, and to the amount of travel thereon. The county clerk shall thereupon notify the wad supervisor iu each of the roail districts in nis county of tbe amount ot the road fnud set apart for the use of bis road district for opening, making and repair inn comity roads and building bridges in his road district; and sucU supervisor shall direct and supervise the expendi ture of such amount of the road fund so set apart for tbe purpose herein named, and certify hie accounts for labor per formed, or material furnished to the county court; and if the county court approves the same, it shall order war rants on the county treasurer in favor of the persou performing such labor or fur nishing such material payable out of the fund to the credit of such road district, and until such fund is exhausted." The countv court of Columbia county has seen St to take advantage of this law, and levied a 3-mill tax, hence its provisions are to be complied with. INTEREST ON STATE TAX. Amounts will be Returned to the Counties by the Liegialature. State Treasurer Cbas. 6. Moore has given nut a statement showing the amount of interest on delinquent state taxes, paid bv the several counties, of the slate, since the year 18'J.I. Under the decision of the supreme court, on an appeal from Marion county, handed down last month, the state is not entitled to collect interest on delin quent state taxes, tor the reason that certain counties, under the assessment laws, were unable to prepare the assess ment rolls in time to allow the county to collect and tiay the state tax before it became delinquent, which was on March 1st of each year. In this connection, the state treasurer states, that nine counties in Oregon Baker, Coos, Curry, Grant, Josephine, Jackson, Union, Umatilla, Wasco had sixty days addi tional time in w hich to pay the state taxes, and it will take another suit brought against one of these counties, to determine whether or not they will be relieved from the payment of interest. It is expected that, iu view of the fact that the interest cannot be collected, the legislature will be asked to pass a law authorizing the state treasurer to refund all interest payments, heretofore made, to the counties making them, and this will probably be done at the next session. The state treasurer's statement of in terest payments received shows the fol lowing amounts credited: Baker $ 756 71 Benton 913 68 Clackamas : . . .

Arthur Johnson is home on a visit from Rainier, Iiefore going to work for Mr. Henry Colvin, of Marshland, again. Messrs. Reed and Trimble, friends of J. H. Mow, late from Indiana, bade this valley a final good bye Thursday. They go from here to Idaho, where they will visit awhile betore returning to rloosier dom. Vern Mow left Sunday for Carroll's Point, Wash., where he will work in a logging camp for the next three months. Vern has a three-months furlough from the O. N. G., of Portland, and believes in improving the time. The burning of the mill at Pittsburg last Tuesday niirht leaves this part of the valley without either a grist or a sawmill. Mr. Case is having more than ins share of bad luck and heliaa many friends who sympathize with him. Mrs. 8. E. Shannahan, while helping her husband catch a ewe with a young lamb, was scruck a terrible blow in the chest by a sheep jumping in the air while passing ber. Tiie blow was of such force as to knock Mrs. Shanna han down and it was some time before she regained her breath. At a meeting of the citizens of Ver nonia and vicinity last Saturday, to locate a permanent cemetery, I. P. Spencer, C. W. Mellinger and L. W. VanDyke were appointed a committee to confer with the owners of the present site and if possible, secure a deed to the same, the committee to report at the next meeting, Saturday, February 17. WHERE THE MONEY OOES. IHsponltton of the Funds to be Col lected on the IttOO Tax Hull. The county clerks are at present en gaged in extending the amount ot tax to be collected from each individual on the lHtr-i tax roll, nud as the matter of taxation, ami the disposition of the cash is always of greater or lest interest to tax-payers, we have taken interest enough iu the matter to prepare this statement for the edification ot our readers. The full amount of the assessed valu ation of property iu this county (or 1899, as tilt) summary compiled bv Assessor White shows, is $1,460,545. 'The total levy made by the county court on this valuation is 28 mills, which will taise H'024. The levies are us follows : For state tax, 0.3 mills, which will raise ,UW. For county schools 5 mills, which will raise $7,252. For defraying county expenses 13.35 mills, which will raise $10,374. For road improvement or a road tax, 8 mills, which wilt raise $4,351. For soldiers' and sailors' indigent (mid, a tax of one-tenth of a mill was levied, which will raise $145. A tax of one-fourth of a mill was levied upon the entire valuation tor a bounty scalp tax to tie paid to tho state, which will amount to $302. In addition to this there will lie charged on the tax roll to each person owning sheep, 1 cent per bead, and as the summary shows that 1373 sheep are in the county, the revenue derived from this source will be $13.73. The entire amount ot rash to be paid to the state will be $10,873. There are reported on the roll tlOS polls, and to each poll there will be charged $2, which will be turned into the countv road fund, or an addition of f 1210, making $6,567 for that fund. According to a long established custom in this county, the first moneys col lectin! on the roll are applied on tlie state tax until the full amount duo the state is paid, in order to save interest on the state tax. The apportionment ol school funds, according to law, must be made on the first Monday in April, and that fnud, amounting to' $7,2o2, in con nection witb the state tax ot $9,138, which will have to bo paid before an early date in May, in order to avoid paying interest, will necessitate the col lection ot $0,390. The school districts, at least twenty two of them, have voted special tax, which will increase tbe nggrogtite amount to be collected on the roll sev eral thousand dollars. Besides this, the city of Vernonia levied a special 6 mill tax for city purposes. The road Ux collected will be turmd into the couuty treasury, a separate account being iept with each district. The supervisor will be able to calcu late very closely the amount of cash that will be available for work in his district. Last year there was over $40,000 of the county "debt paid off, money collected ou back taxes being an Important factor in this reduction, and there beiug much back tax yet due the county, it is reas onable to presume that the debt, which now amounts to but little more than 20,000, will lie reduced somewhat dur ing the present year. There was about $3,500 paid out last year on account of interest, which will be saved during the present year, and applied to the outstanding debt. School District Tax.
