Questions Relating to collection of Taxes.

Attorney general Hord in answer to in
quiries from State Auditor Rice, states, in an
official opinion he has just prepared, that ~ a
person who has assumed to act as an officer I'M
der the revenue laws, and has made collections,
cannot be permitted when the State calls upon
him for settlement. to deny his official character;
~ an officer has right to right to retain
even an unconstitutional tax collected by him,
but must account for it as in other cases; ~ a
tax-collector has no authority to receive any
thing in payment of taxes but such money rs at
the time is legal tender; (4) an entry that tax
has been paid does not estop the State to show
that it is unpaid.

This report was not certified. Assessor Qaill
informed the board that he could not certify it
owing to the possible necessity of making cor
rsctions. The act of certifying would have
closed up the assessors business, but Under this
kind of a report, the work is still in his hands
Late in the afternoon the board adopted
resolution declaring that. having investigated
provements, the town and city lots and improve
ments in Center township, it found that the
aggregate was too high, in that it amounted to
$40, PAS, 040 when it ought to have amounted
to only $50. 19S, 432; wherefore it declared that
the assessment was set aside, and ordered the
township assessor to make q new assessment of
the real estate, lots and improvements and to
diminish the aggregate assessment so that it
would amount to the sum of $50, 196 1872 which
the Board considered Just, right and consistent
with law" On this motion only Messrs. Clinton
and Reveel voted in the negative.
On motion the assessor was instructed to pro-
coed at once TO assess the real estate OF Center
township, to put on night force of clerks, and
to furnish such assessment prior to July 20, at
which time the board will meet again.
At the evening session Captain Clinton. feel
ing that the out townships were being unjustly
treated In not having new assessments and re-
auctions corresponding to those opCenter town
ship, made three successive motions; first to make
reassessments In the out townships and to cut
down the aggregate assessments 20 per cent;
second to cut them down 10 per cent, and third
to cut them down 10 per cent. Each motion was
tabled, the three County Commissioners alone
voting against the motions to table.
The board adjourned at 10 o'clock to meet
again on the 10Th inst. The county attorney
has advised them that in occupying any further
time after yesterday they are treading on de-
batable ground.

the tables surrounding the sacred ground where
the board sat, and waited patiently their turns.
Occasionally weary citizen would take seat

made an order that nobody should

MERCHANDISE MARTs.
Leaving the markets visit was made
to the great fruit store of the German
Fruit Company where line OF samples
is displayed which will go far toward
answering the question Of how people
are to live here. There are fruits
canned, dried, preserved and fresh.
These find ready sale in all the markets
Of the world. They are Of exceptional
excellence in all their forms. Their
names and styles too are legion, and they
exhibit the very exceptional richness
of this great country. With them are
several sorts of nuts. from The common
peanut to the soft-shelled almond, and
English walnut. Then there are the
products of the vines-wines, brandies
and cordials. A San Francisco fruit
company has sent its head, u. w.

market to California fruits. Mr.. Ger

HOW PEOPLE MAY LIVE.
Here are good many avenues where
in people may make living in Los An
geles. The Chinese must go. That is
we'll settled matter. With the departure
Of this barnacle on the body polite there
will come an opening in the domestic
avocations, laundries and vegetable
growing for thousands Of hard. working,
intelligent men and women, surround ed
with all the refining influences of home
and family. All there is to learn in the
premises is to do the work well for fair
wages. Furthermore. in this wonderful
land, five to twenty acres of land de-
voted to fruit or vegetable culture will
support family in absolute comfort.
OF good fruit and fine vegetables there
never can be an over production. The
East is all hungry for fresh vegetables.
The shippers call for them, the Gamers
want them. A thousand intelligent men
can support family in q sweet home,
empowered in perennial flowers, and
robust under perpetual sunshine
in this business. In the near
future this thousand can be doubled
more than once or twice. The same is
true several times of fruit growing. As
the population grows this way there will
be demand for ak dairy farms where
now there is one. The big wheat farms,
too, will be cut up into small holdings,
each supporting its own family. Let
the 1nthinking get on to these ideas and
make no mistake. Los Angeles city and
county within the next five years will
be the center of population more than
double what it is to-day 1t will double
again in the frat five years of the next
decade. With the end of the century
it will be one of the densest regions as
to population in the world.

The killing of "a 1,foO-Pound
Grizzly.

Grizzly bears as rule are seldom seen
in the mountains nowadays, and in
fact hunters do not put themselves out
much to look for them. Last Friday,
however, while Jim Ord, who owns
cattle range in the Santa Ynez Noun
tains, 10 company with Walter Steele,
we're taking a stroll over the formers
range in search OF some cattle, they un-
expectedly ran on to l,400-pound
grizzly bear asleep. After recovering
from their surprise and fright they dis
oussed the most feasible plan of killing
the beast. So after few moments cor
versation, Mr.. Ord, with gun in hand,
proceeded, with caution, within few
feet OF the bear and fired an explosive
cartridge into its neck. The sound had
hardly died away before the ferocious
animal was on his feet, and after pain
ful howl he gave the men lively chase.
Realizing that the bear was gaining on
them, their escape was a matter of great
importance, so they decided to go up
tree. Scarcely seated. the animal was
upon them, when general firing was
INDUCED in. After repeated shots they
succeeded in killing the grizzly. Santa
