...JULY 19. 1890
COUNTY FINANCES.
I MSCffi I,UKMW "3-
Elsewheee appears the official re
port of the comity clerk, treasurer and
sheriff for the year ending July 1st,
1890. It shows that during the year
the receipts of the county from all
sources, -was $78,G72.18,and that during
the year the county paid out 889,850.69.
Of this 89,850.69 that the county paid
out during the year 24,607.97 was
paid the state treasurer; 43,864.80
were paid in county warrants, and the
remainder, 21,377.72, were paid in
school warrants.
The expense account shows that it
cost 46,475.78 to run the county dur
ing the year. The biggest item is the
circuit court, which cost 5,204.78;
the officers salaries, 4,631.05, is a
comparatively small sum. The
justices court seems to he rather a
costly institution. It cost the county
2,136.47 to run it during the twelve
months ending July 1st. The lines
paid by the justices court were
289.43; so that the net cost to the
county was a little over 150 a month;
$551 looks like a good deal for "wood,
water and gas," and 1,932,21 appears
a little heavy for "roads and bridges."
It would be interesting to have a little
table of how much road tax was col
lected, and what was done with it, but
this is probably nobody's business,
and an impertinence to even mention.
The sheriff shows that to an assess
ment of 86,127.35, he added 1,046.28
more, assessed by himself, and of the
total of 87,173.63 he collected all but
2.191.21.
The clerk's report exhibits that
there was on July 1st, warrants out
standing and unpaid to the amount of
41,950.81; the treasurer's report shows
that on that date there was 2,709.42
in the county fund, leaving a balance
on the debit side of 39,24L39.
Since the 1st considerable have been
received from delinquent taxes for
1839.
The report is complete in several
important details, and is of value as
showing the state of the county's
finances at the beginning of the pres
ent fiscal year.
The silly statement is made by those
with whom the wish is father to the
thought, that president Harrison is
withholding publication of Blaine's
letter to Salisbury, the British prime
minister, on the Behring sea question?
for fear its sturdy Americanism would
increase Blaine's popularity. Even
the New York World, which starts
the ridiculous story, ought to know
better than that. Sedulous efforts at
promoting jealousy have no effect
upon the harmony of Harrison's cab
inet nor upon the solidity and good
sense of his administration.
That "malice loves a shining mark"
is evinced by the Colville Miner,
which alludes to the Spokane Falls
Review as a "dirty rotten rag," and says
the Review's editor is "the worst speci
men of journalism extant." The Re
view is the leading journal of eastern
Washington, and Mr. Durham, its
editor, is a gentleman who combines
in his genial make-up too much ability
and courtesy'to be more than casually
annoyed by such contemptible lings.
Cooperation has not been success
ful in Berlin. Thirty-five coopera
tive societies have been organized
there for manufacturing purposes
since 1868. Thirty of them wound up
their affairs after an average existence
of six years each. Eive still exist.
The various reasons for discontinuing
business were lack of funds, differ
ences of opinion between members
and dwindling away of membership.
The state of "Washington has as
large a population as the state of
Oregon. This illustrates two facts
The state of Oregon is 31 J years old;
the state of Washington is not one
year old. This illustrates two facts.
1st. That increased facilities for immi
gration and increased knowledge favor
-immigration. 2nd. That fossil legis
lation and silly restriction discourago
immigration.
The story is again telegraphed that
Spain would be willing to sell Cuba to
the United States for 200,000,000. Very
likely; but Uncle Sam would be very
foolish to pay any such sum for "the
ever faithful isle." Cuba is inhabited
by a class of citizens that we can best
get along without. They don't under
stand our institutions.
In the new state of Wyoming the
women can vote, but a Wyoming
woman cannot vote in any other state
of the Union. That is, if she wants to
be a voter or votress, she must remain
in Wyoming. In some cases the in
ducement is not sufficient.
Mbs. Ebank IiESTiTE was interviewed
regarding marriage last Sunday. She
says if she ever marries again she will
marry a journalist. She'd have more
fun to marry a newspaper man.
It seems a touch doctrine that
claims the heathen are to be damned
according to the edict of a gospel
whose conditions have not been made
known to them.
A crap oi Paper Saves Her tire
It was just an ordinary scrap of wrap
ping paper, but it saved her life. She
was in the last stages of consumption,
told by her plij'sicians that she was in
curable and could live only ashort time;
she weighed less than seventy pounds.
Oh apiece of wrapping paper she read
of Dr. King's New Discovery, and got a
sample bettle: if helped her, she bought
a&rgebottle,it helped her more, bought
asother and grew better fast, continued
ite use andjs now strong, healthy, rosy,

The memorandum of an agree
ment made in Astoria, Oregon,
this 18th day of July, 1890, by
anil between Herman Wise and ,f.
Ash, witnesseth: that each of the
parties hereto have deposited with
Mr. C. J. Trenchard of said city,
the sum of 500, and that it is
mutually agreed between the par
ties hereto, that if the sales of said
Herman Wise, at his clothing es
tablishment at 469 and 471 Second
street, in said city, shall exceied
the full sura of 15,000 within the
next sixty days from the date
hereof, all of the total sum of
1,000, deposited as aforesaid,
shall be paid to said Herman
Wise, on his affording said C. J.
Irenchard satisfactory evidence
that his sales have in said period
exceeded said amount and that if
said sales do not in said period
exceed said amount, said total sum
of 1,000 is to be paid said J.
Ash.
Witness our hands and seals the
day and year first above written.

Herman Wise is not a betting
man, but Mr. Ash was bragging
so much about the amount of bus
iness done by certain houses on
the Sound, that Mr. Wise offered
to bet 500 that he can sell just
as much clothing as any retail
clothing house on Puget Sound.
This is a matter of homo pride,
and as Herman Wise offers his
entire stock at cost, rather than
lose the bet, it is safe to say that
Astorians generally will help
themselves and their town, by
helping Mr. Wise to win this
$1,000.
