COUNTY COURT NOT GUILTY Almose every day one hears some croaker ripping it into the County Court, blaming it with the high taxc3 and the high cost of living generally. The County Court has very little to do with the taxes being high,, which we will undertake to prove to you. The tax in Toledo this year will be 34.4 mills. Of this amount the Court, gets 4. mills for county purposes, and six mills for roads and bridges. All the rest of the 34.4 mill tax goes for purposes of which the Court has no control. State tax, school tax, city and port tax, etc., etc.. are levies over which the Court has no control, still' they are, given' the entire blame for the jhigh taxes. TIDELAND OWNERS . NEED NOT WORRY The C. &. E. tideland grant of 1874-85, after lying dormant for several decades, ka.a kicked up quite a muss the past couple of years, and by reason of the ef forts of i some Portland attor neys, some of our tideland own ers have been caused much wor ry. The placing of same on the assessment roll by the assessor has given fresh cause for wor ryment and has started several rumors which have no founda tion whatever. We went .to Assessor Ball with the idea of getting a line on (he matter, and as an opening shot, tola Mm that it was rumored that he had placed this tideland acreage on the roll by order of tne rauroad company. Mr. Bull Informed us that he was not tak ing orders from the railroad company, and they had nothing to do with its being on the roll. That this land had been a very active problem to him and the Sheriff, as the decision of the Court gave this land to the rail .road company and placed the matter of ownership beyond question, and therefore it was the Assessor's duty to place same on the roll this year, also the Sheriff's duty to place Fame on the roll for five years back. Mr. Ball Informs us that this land placed upon the roll in the name of the railroad company is all new Btuft upon the roll, and has never been assessed before, the title, having rested with the state. That now this in nil would bring in revenue to the county, the amount of taxes due to aate on same amounting to some $22,000. There is no reason why tide land owners should get excited about the matter as our Asses sor has -placed nothing on the roll, In the name of the company that has been assessed to pri vate owners heretofore It noes not effect land that has been deeded or patented. The rail road has assessed to it the land which it owns by grant from the state and is the land locally known as water front, and lies below the meander line. This assessment does not effect any privately owned land and the property rights of the citizens of Lincoln county, have STEAMER BANDON MAKES QUICK TRI? The steamer Bandon, Capt.
