The; court has made an order that the tax rolls for the years from 1895 to iqo inclu sive, be turned over to the sheriff and he be ordered to --proceed to sell the lands. - In the pasthere seems to have been .some confusion - regarding the cognomen f Mr. Masten, re ceiver, an I he appears on the rolls as "Arthur H.

Vogle sends the follow ing communication on the earth quakes which recently occurred in the section in which he lives and takes occasion to moralize a trifle: I have often been told that cities have . been destroyed be- cause tne people nave oeen so wicked. If Pompeii had been 100 miles from the burning vol cano it would have been in ex istence today; but the people1 built Pompeii in the wrong place, St. Pierre, on the island, was as religious a city as there is in any country. It was also destroyed oecause tne people duiu it 111 a dangerous place. . Los Alamos, one of the most saintly villages on the coast, with the finest people in all the land, descendants of the Quakers and Shakers, had their village de stroyed, not because they were wicked, but because they built their town in a "shaky" place, while San Pedro still stands. Ten miles from Lompoc (where Mr. Vogle lives), is the little town of Santa Rita all the. chimneys were shaken from the roofs. There has been explo sions there, mostly on the pin nacles of the mountains, which has scattered the dust for miles ! over uncut crops. There is a great deal of immi gration just after a quake.
