A county office is undoubtedly a

to tho lllado It costs the county annual
ly for the three oflloes of recorder,

drawn 114,31X4!) and even this amount
does not Include fees. The clerk has
drawn f(l,34.69 not including tw and
the sherifl EU.llU7.85. not Including fees
The lilado thinks the she Iff gets a
slice out of the circuit court Item or
$0,643.61) besides the amount named.
The Wade esiimates that at this rate
the three o.lloers named will exhaust
the whole tax levy for 1H01. The
lilade adds: Tins showing is a great
surprise. That our laws were liberal,
we knew, but we had no idea that they
were so Internal liberal that their exe
cution and strict enforcement would
amount next to dowuright robbery of

A LOUUINU CHUTE.

Csthlametts Gazette.
The Ingenuity of ths average logger In
bis efforts to get the great foreat monsters
to tidewster is often taxed to the nvmost
peclally if the ground be very rough or
teep. At times fine bodies of timber will
bs found st altitudes of 700 lo 1500 feet
above tbe level of ths river and the ascent it
loo precipitous to admit of any hauling be
ing done, in oases lite mis tne service ol
a logging obuts art brought Into requisition.
The building of these chutes require a
considerable amount of energy and skill be
side a Urge outlay of money.
Una of tbe longest and most sipenslv.
adjunotsof tblsnstnr Is the Captain An
thony chut near Clifton. It waa built in
1S8U at a cost oi iu,uuu and la nearly
three-quarters of s mile in length. For a
considerable distance the bottom is shod
witb railroad iron. H. A. Newberry is log
ging in a fine body of timber and uses the
chute lo aend the logs to tide wstor. Some
idea of the velocity attained by the logs in
tbsir downward journey can be calcolated
when It lakes a Ins jnst twenty seconds to
makt the trip. If by accideut a small log
bappeot to stop on tbe wsy and Is followed
by a larger one the force of tbe collision is
such tbst It splinters both logs lo match
wood. Sometimes the logs leave their
oonras and lake a circle and awing into line
again. When the stick strikes ths river it
raises tb water to s aialanoa ol zou teet in
th air, and presents tb appearance of
miniature waterspout for the time being.

Tho famous damiigo suit of an em
ploye, C. W. Johnson, In the land
department at Host-burg, against the
S. V. Co., wits finally submitted to the
jury Thursday evening. Judgo llolse
instructed the Jury that tho conditions
printed on tho back of the pass were
not a bar to his obtaining damages,
Tho company cited New York and
Massachusetts decisions to relieve them
of liability In such enses. but the plain
tlfl 's attorney, Mr, Ford cited an array
of later cases to tho contrary, aud also
showed that while tho United States
supremo court had not directly passed
on tho iiestloii. It had Intimated that
Its course would Isj iu the same line as
the latter decisions. No verdict was
returned Thursday evening and the
jury had. no tlouU, quite a struggle
over the tlanmgi-s.
