Probably the largest purchase of certificates of delinquency ever made in the state was completed to day at 5 o'clock. Thad B. Preston, of Ionia, Mich., and R. H. Fleet, of Mon tesano, are the' purchasers of record of practically $110,000 worth of tax certificates against timber land owned by the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company. Certificates are for 1912 and subse quent taxes on large tracts of the best timber in the county, and may by law be foreclosed in June. 19-16. No one suspects that the Weyer haeusers will let the timber go for taxes, and some people guess even that they are behind the purchase to prevent anyone else making the 15 per cent interest allowed by law in case a possible suit for tax reduction should go against them. Certificates pay 6 per cent even in case a land owner wins a suit for taxes. Flags Fly at Half Mast and All Olympia Mourns.
