The Treasurer Rises to Explain
EDITOR STANDARp:-

EDITOR STANDARp:--
viii you please allow me little space
in your columns to reply to clause in the
report of the grand jury to the district
court during its last session in Olympia ?
In their report among Others we find
this clause:
1--WE find, Also that it is alleged and we
believe that proper care and caution have
not been exercised In relation to the sales
Of property for taxes, in at least one i'm
portant instance, and that generally the
county officers have not been as cautious
in relation to assessments as the law re-
quires."
Without considering what connection
there is between the county officers negli-
gence in regard to the assessment roll, and
the lack of care and caution of the proper
officer in making sales of property for
taxes, or what was alleged, | take it for
granted that | was the officer referred to
in the first part of the clause as am the
only one who has sold property for taxes
during the las. two years.
In order to ascertain wherein proper
care and caution ind not been exercised
in relation to the sales of property for tax.
es,'' Qor when the Grand Jury visited my
office with the prosecuting attorney to eX-
anime my books and into the manner in
which | have conducted the Office, they
stated frankly that every thing was salts
factory, that they had no fault to find with
me;) wrote to the Prosecuting Attorney
for the desired information. In reply,
among other things, he wrote: an re.
gard to the sale, (meaning the sale of the
y. d I. X. r. the statute contemplates an
adjournment at least once where there are
no bidders. The right of the county to
become Il purchaser is conditional upon
the fact that there are no bidders and after
one adjournment. In other words the
county are not considered bidders or pur-
chasers, but their right consists IN having
the property struck off ib the absence Of
bidders after said adjournment. Whether
the neglect TO adjourn is fatal or not, is
for the court to say. i am, of course, con.
tending for the contrary ruling in the trial.
1t is doubtless an error of Judgment or
misconstruction of the law rather than in.
territorial wrong upon your part"
Let us look at the law bearing upon
this particular tax sale and see who has
erred in judgment or misconstrued it,
Acting under instructions of the Prose
| cutting Attorney; the 0. & T. r. property
was advertised and sold as personal pro0
erty. Then the law regulating the sale OF
personal property for taxes is that &c
which We must refer.
Sec. Al, of the Revenue law of 1877. the
law governing the tax sale in question
says, when the treasurer distrains per
sonal property he may keep it at the ex

Of the Republican party were IA ig-

States. Their reporters will he at

We shall have no federal marshal

you not to relax any of your efforts,
put new life and energy into your

to bring out your full strength to the

in October, if polled in November,

A change of three votes in each pre-

ANY Letters for the Wattses?

A ~lantern-jawed young man stopped
at the post-ofIice last Saturday, and
yelled out:
Anything for the Wattses?"
George Poteet, our polite postmaster
replied, "No, there is not
Anything for Jane Wattsy'
Nothing"
"Anthing for Ace Watts"
NNo"
Anything for Bill Watts?'
mo sir
Anything for Tom Waits?"
mo, nothing
Anything for Fool 10 Watts?"
mo nor for Dick Watts, nor Jim
Watts nor Sweet Watts, nor any other
Watts, dead, living, unborn, native, for
eign, civilized, black franchised or dis
franchised, natural, or otherwise. No,
there is positively nothing for any of
the Wattses, either individually, sever.
ally, Jointly, now and forever, one and
~inseparable.'
The boy looked at the postmaster in
establishment, and said:
"Please look if there is anything for
John Thomas Watts 2"
