that $125.000 was handed over the
counter at the office in payment of
taxes, but this is an estimate, and
may be either too high or too low.
The office force does not know the
exact amount, and will not for a
week or so.
The office safe is full of letters and
statements with checks and orders
attached for payment of taxes by
those who were unable to reach the
city in time to get their rebate, and
so sent the amount through the mail.
As much of the time of the clerks
as possible will be spent on this pile
of correspondence until all has been
cleared out of the way and the re­
ceipts sent back with the rebate
marked. In the meantime, the office
is taking no money for taxes, or at
least is writing no receipts, until the
rebate work is out of hand. It will
take several days to get this part of
the work closed, as the taxes repre­
sented by the letters amount to sev­
eral thousand dollars, made up prin-
cipally of small statements.

MARKETS ARE DEAD FAR
AS CONCERNS
CHANGES.
The Only Thing That Has Happened
Lately Is Fresh Eggs — Almost a
Dead Calm In the Wheat Market—
Beef Market Extremely Slow and
Governed by Local Demand.
The market
is a dead one tbis
w eek as tar as' any chauges are con-
cemed. Fresh eggs are bringing the
farmers 16 2-3 cents a dozen, and
that is about the only thing that has
happened in the last five or stx days.
All the other prices are the same,
and there is not any likelihood of
a change for some time to come
The wheat market is so quiet that
the exporting companies do not see
the necessity of informing the buy-
ers of the price half the time, and
they have to telegraph back to And
out, if they happen to want to know,
which is but seldom.
Beef is selling as fast as the peo­
ple want a little meat to eat, but no
faster. The buyers are shipping only
such amounts as the market de­
mands. and the farmers are not at
al) anxious to sell, for the quotations
are low They prefer to hold a time,
and take the chances of bettering the
figures offered.
E. B McFarland, of Adams re­
turned today from Lewiston. Idaho,
where he attended the funeral of
his brother.

who was drowned in Snake River,
with another brother. Bert McFar­
land. on November 27, while rescu­
ing machinery from the wrecked
steamer in the river, at Mountain
Sheep Rapids.
The remains of Ephrlam McFar­
land were found only last Monday,
near Lewiston, after having been in
the river for almost four months,
and the other brother has not yet
been found.
Mr. McFarland has written to all
the officers of counties bordering on
the Snake and Columbia rivers, to
be on the lookout for the corpse,
when the high water of spring
starts, as he thinks the body has
been washed down the
river and
may be found many miles below
Lewiston.
Bert McFarland, the brother still
missing, was 27 years old. weighed
ibout 160 pounds, and had amalgam
fillings in his teeth, with also two
Richmond crowns in his upper front
teeth.
He was a veteran of the
Spanish war, having served
three
»ears in the 3.r>rfi regiment, company
I.
Any information
concerning a
corpse of this description would be
appreciated by E B McFarland, of
Adams. Ore.
