ROSEBURG, Ore., April 18. The remains of the late Secretary of State Benson were received here late last night from Redlands. Mrs. Benson, Dr. Steiner, Judge H. L. Benson and wife, George E. Houck, of the ord nance department of the Oregon Na tional Guard, and Captain George T. Spencer, of company B, Fourth regi ment, of Ashland, accompanied the body. They were met at the depot by a committee selected by the vari ous lodges of which Mr. Benson was a c ember. Elks to Officiate The body was taken to the Elks' Temple, where it lay In state under guard of a squad of local militiamen, commanded by Captain Fred Stewart, of company D, Oregon National Guard, of this city.

SALES OF LAND RRING IN DELINQUENT TAXES Of a total of $224,000 in taxes due Josephine county, including the city of Grants Pass, the sum of $65, 000 remalus unpaid. At the sheriff's office it was stated today that of the $65,000, the South ern Pacific Railroad company owes $15,000 for congressional land tax. The company's tax on this land originally amounted to $30,000, but $15,000 of this has been paid. The recent activity in Josephine county land, as a result of which quite a number of transfers have been made, has caused payments on back taxes to be made in such vol ume that not a large sum will be carried over as delinquent. New purchasers have seen that taxes were satisfied, either by the original owner or by themselves, and the total foots un a generous sum on the ri'lls. It Is estimated that when the books are closed October 1 that Jose Thine county will have collected up Its taxes closer than for some years past.
