8 o'clock tonight at tho Chamber of
Commcrco rooms In North Hand. Tho
county court, tho North Hcnd city
council and tho North Ucnd hlgu
school board will all bo present and
consider tho matter jointly.
Tho Port of Coos Day commission
has already given Its cousont to Mn
.Walto's plan provldod that It Is ap
proved by tho county court.
Tlio Proposition
Tho taxes dn tho Klnuoy property
tocothor with tho penalties and in
terest on back taxes amounts to
about $00,000) Something over $20,
000 of this amount is mado up of
penalties and Interest. Mr. Walte
says that if this is cut off ho will
sottlo tho principal with tho county.
Ho mado tho proposition to the ci
ty council of North Rond but the
mombors of that body did not feel
like' considering it until thoy hoard
from tlio port, tho school board and
tho county court, all of which aro
Interested, so tho Joint meeting was
culled.
(lives Ills (.'rounds
Mr Walto will presont his plan and
tho various bodies will consldor It.
Mr. "Walto claims that tho plats for
tho KInnoy property when filed woro
not signed by thoso really holding ti
tle Ho also claims that tlioro woro
irregulaVltlcs In tho admitting or
somo of tho Kinney property Into

It la on tho strongth of theso allogod
irrogularltlos that ho Is asking tho
county to doduct tho penalties and
interest. IIo states that tho tuxes
onco settled ho will forecloso on ttio
property under tho first mortgago of

ty can bo placod on tho market.
Prepared to Act
District Attorney Llljeqvlst says
that ho has nothing to do with tho

states that ho Is prepared to fore
close on tho property for tho taxes
In bolmlf of tho county. If tho
county court sees fit to reach a com
promise ha of courso cannot go far
ther but If tho county court does not
compromiso Mr. Llljeqvlst says that
lie is prepared to go ahead with his
suit for tho county to colloct tho tax

Not Decided
J. T. Harrlgan, tho well known
Marsliflold hardwaro man, is being
urged by friends to bo a candldato
for tho republican nomination for
county commissioner at tho spring
primaries. Ho has not dofiultoly
announced his decision In tho mat
ter. Mr. Harrlgan Is well known
throughout the county and "among
tho first to urgo his candidacy woro

Homo Interesting views on the
lumber and business situation are
glen in tho American Lumberman
of Chicago, which Is nn author!!)
on such subjects. That paper says
editorially:
"This weok's news contains some
what meager particulars of a Kieacfi
Government inquiry for UOO.OOO.uuo
feet of lumber on which the North
Pacific Coast milts havo been asked
to figure, and there aro reasons to
bollovo that tho spring will seo fur
ther demands from Europe of this
character.
"Exports of war munitions are
requiring tremendous quantities of
crating material. Large box con
tracts aro for the time being, quite
common, and they range all inu wiy
from the cheapest typo of package
to tho carefully-made, hypor-iuspect-ed
shrapnel caso. Tills demand, ot
courso, Is apt to last as long as the
war lasts.
Doom Is General
"All sorts ot business aro un
doubtedly booming; in fact, tho en
tire business of tlio country Is work
ing ut high tension, and that tension
has developed In a period of tlnio
so short as to bo without parallel
In our business history.
"So long as this activity shall
continue tlioro can bo no doubt us
to tho probablo volumo of demand
for American lumber. For tho next
few months tho war demand, couplnl
with tho extraordinary conditions In
our homo Industries and tho pros
perity of tho rural population of tho
United States, assures an urgent call
for forest products, and It would
Boom now that that ussuranco can
bo overthrown only by somo extra
ordinary convulsion In National or
International affairs."
As to tho Future.
Tho Lumberman goes on to sound
something of a note ot warning when
it says:
"To tho extout that our prosper
ity Is built upon war business wo
nuiHt expect to faro a readjustment
whon peaco comes. The financial
balance of tho world Is upset. No
ono is able to say today with any
certainty what tho readjustment will
havo to bo. No one knows defin
ite) what the riunnclnl status or
possible commercial productiveness
of tho central powors will bo ut tho
close of the war.
Foreign Competition
"No ono knows dofiultoly what
foreign competition the United States
will ho called upon to meet at
homo, nor do wo know Just how far
wo shall ho able to go In extending
the demand for our goods In those
countries wliero tho war has entire
ly overturned tho routine of trado.
"Wo do not know how much tho
onmltlcs of the war aro going to
affect coinmorco after peaco Is de
clared, All of theso things aro
moro or less uncertain, and It fol
lows that If the business IntorcHts
of the United States go on pyramid
ing Indefinitely thoy must oxpoct a
day ot deckouiug that will no ::a-
astrous to thoso who havo forgot
ten tho principles of sound busi
ness management."
