FIRST 1901 TUXES
$92,247.65 TURNED
OVER BY THE SHERIFF.
Total Amount Due Is $135,000 Con
siderable Has Been Collected and
Not Yet Turned Over.
The sheriff's offleo Tuesday after
noon turned over to County Treasur
er S. K. Yates the sum o $92,247.65,
which is the ilrst of the 1901 taxes
that has been turned over since the
commencement of the collection the
first Monday In March. This Is only
a part of the amount paid in under
the provisions which allowed the tax
payer a rebate of 3 per cent if his
taxes were paid prior to tho 15th
Instant. Three clerics were kept so
busy during the 15 days that thoy did
not get time to keep the moneys-
checked up and have .not yet caught
up and turned all that was paid in
over to the treasurer. While they do
not know the exact amount collected,
it is estimated that ?150,000 will not
overstate the amount that has been
received by the sheriff's office.
The taxes turned over are almost
half of the entire taSes for the year,
as the total levy is only $195,000, and
the amount still due is $46,000. This
will come in slower now, as there is
no rebate as an Inducement, although
all the taxes that are not paid in by
the first IMbnday in April will become
delinquent and a penalty of 10 per
cent added and the tax will also draw
interest at the rate of 12 per cent.
No taxes paid now will receive a
rebate, but no penalty will be attach
ed if paid prior to the first Monday
in April. If the tax-p'ayer does not
feel that he can pay all his taxes be
fore that date, if he wishes he can
pay one-half and then the other half
will not become delinquent until the
first Monday in October. Then, if the
latter half is not paid, it becomes de
linquent. Another thing that should be re
membered by the tax-payer Is that
if at least half of your personal prop
erty tax is not paid by the first Mon
day in April, it becomes delinquent
and. the sheriff is compelled to levy
on the property after the first day
of May and collect the taxes with all
panelty and costs.
The largest amount of taxes paid in
fron one corporation during the time
was $24,831.51, after the rebate was
taken off, and was the taxes of the
Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany on its property in the county.

Question as to Property Situated In
This County.
A suit was filed at the court house
Tuesday afternoon with the Security
Savings & Trust Company, a corpo
ration, plaintiff, and W. H. Goltra, ad
mlnistrator of tho estate of Hugh
Fields, deceased, Dora E. Fields, Ef-
fie A. Rhea, Anna L. Leasuro, the
Pendleton Savings Bank and Uinatil
Ia county, defendants.
It Is to foreclose a mortgage
against certain real estate situated
in the city of Pendleton and to re
cover judgment against plaintiffs for
the sum of $453.71 and interest at the
rate of 8 per cent from tho 22d day
of March, 1901, and for the further
sum of $250 attorneys fees.
Tho complaint allegos that Hugh
Fields executed and delivered to
plaintiffs his certain promissory note
for $2000 and on tho 22d of June,
1S97, which was to fall due six
months after date and that none of
this amount has bjeen pafd except
?04b and interest up to March 22(
1901, leaving the amount due for
which Judgment Is asked. It also al
leges that Hugh Fields died intestate
in November, 1901, In Linn county,
leaving no heirs except Dora E
Fields, his wife: that on Uie 3d of
December, 1901, W. H. Goltra was ap
pointed administrator of the estate
of the deceased and that the other de
fendants claim interest in tho prop
erty, on wmcn tho mortgage was
given. Umatilla county claims Inter
est, by virtue of a tax sale on a cer
tain portion of the property, but
plaintiff alleges that this interest Is
not valid. Tho Pendleton Savings
Bank claims Interest on other parts
of tho property by virtue of a judg'
mont given them, out of the court for
Umatilla couuty, dated September 4,
1899, for $564.26 and costs taxed at
$35.0.8, but plaintiff alleges that this
judgment has long since been paid.
Whereforo plaintiff prays Judgment
against W. H. Goltra, as administra
tor of tho estate of Hugh Fields, do-
ceased, for the amount yet duo on
note, and for decree to foreclose said
mortgage and directing sale of the
real estato; for a decree directing the
canceling of protended tax sales to
county and tho claims of, tho bank;
for a decree against Dora E, Fields,
Efflo A. Rhea and Anna L. Loasuro,
barring them: rom all Interests In the
mortgaged property, or any part
thereof.! and .for such other relief as
is meet In the promises.

of Portland, and Carter & Raley, of
this city, aro attorneys for plaintiff.

Mr. Markeson brought sovoral sam
