It It very tafe to assert that perhap
no county In the Hate ha proceeded to
nearly according to law In regard to the
tale of landt for delinquent tuxet at ha
Columbia, and the tnterett taken in the
matter by outldermen of meant and
Judgment demonttrate that faith i
not lout in the law, and men are willing
to risk money In the affair. Another
ttatement which cannot be contradicted
it the diet that in no other county hat
the dictate of the law been more min
utely observed and executed in the
mntter of the inle than here, in fact, in
tome reapecta the county hat gone paat
tha dictate of the law and don more
than wat required, but It wat all on the
tafe tide and much financial benefit ha
retuited, at well a tatUfytng the full
demand of the atatute.
Hberlir Hnttan began promptly at 10
o'clock on Monday to offer for lale all
landt on which the county held alien
for unpaid tax. The number of bidder,
quantity of caah and extent of confidence
were all large, and a piece by piece the
property wa oilered, It wa at readily
taken in by tome party willing to pay
alinott the value of the property. A
great deal of the property aold for many
time the amount of the linn againat it.
Of court tome of the parctlt told for
much lea than the amount of the Hen
agnlntt it, but collectively the county ia
much the gainer in the matter. ,
' The flrat day' sale amounted to
nearly M.400, (2,500 of which amount
wa paid on the apot, and checkt for the
remainder have tince arrived. Tuee
diiy'a tale did not have quite to good an
effect on the county' exchecquer, but
tb aale amounted to 12000. The
county will realize about $8,000 out of
the tale, which wipe the county dent
out of exittence, a will be teen by a
notice by the county treasurer in an
other place in tliia paper, that all out
landing county warrant -which have
been pretentod and endorsed "Not Paid
for Want of Fund," will lie paid upon
presentation to that official. Tliia in
formation ought to be received with
great applauae by the people of the
county. It it the flrat time in fifteen
year, perhap longer, that the county
bat been able to meet it obligation on
demand with caah.
There i about $0,000 on the current
roll yt to be collected, all of which will
have been taken care of by the laat of
Heptemlier, at which time the temian
nual ollicial itatement will thow cab
on hand to pay warrant when pre
sented. . Unlet there i undue extrava-

there it no danger of) the county will be

GOOD COAL PB08FECT8.
Uandred Foot Tunnel Being Driven
on Hcappoose Creek.
There are most excellent prospecU at
hand that a good quality of coal in aufll-
cient quantities to supply local demands
will soon be opened up at a place easy
of accent. There has been a great deal
said about the coal cropping! on Scap-
poose creek, but no genuine euort to oe
termine its quality or extent ha been
made until now, when a force of hand
ha been eraoioved and nut to work to
drive a tunnel 100 feet or more on a
ledice of turf ace cropplnirs ararefcatinic
several feet. A sample of the coal,
weighing about twenty-five pound, wa
taken to Portland Tuesday, where an
assay wet made, showing 40.08 percent
carbon, with but a slight trace of sul
phur. It I lignite or light-weight coal,
and the report of the ascayer, who ia
connected with the Montana Metal
ogical Work, that the coal ha much
commercial value, ha stimulated an
effort to search for a large body of the
mineral, which it Is geuerally supposed.
and logically enough, too, exisU in the
vicinity ol where prospect wore ie now
being done. Mot a great length of time
will be necessary to determine this fact
and the real conditions become known.
