TAX TITLES.
An Interesting Opinion From the
Attorney General.

In reply to a communication from Hon.
w. w. Braden, state auditor, Attorney
General Hahn yesterday gave the following
opinion.
You ask IL AS land is sold for taxes aud
the time of redemption expires, it is again sold
for taxes, and 4. within the time allowed by
law, claims the right t0redeem from the latter
sale. shoald the county officers allow him 10
make such redemption? / think they should
The law gives the righto of redemption to "any
person having an interest" in the land sold.
There is no provision in the law for any Judi
cial proceedings TO take place upon an appli-
cation TO redeem in and by which the right OF
the applicant TO make the redemption can be
determined. Neither is there any clause
dir Getting that proof of such interest shall be
presented to the officers. or authorizing such
officers to adjudicate that fact. The officer,
consequently, need have no proof that the
person Offering to make redemption is au-
thorized to DO so. County officers must
therefore. permit IA redemption TO be made
by any one claiming an interest i'm the land
sold, rs such a course cannot in any way
prejudice the rights of the tax-purchaser,
and any other course might seriously ieopar-
dlze the rights Of those having an interest i'm
such real estate. The party who redeems it
does il at his peril, if he has no interest to
protect, the act cannot vest title in him nor
divert that OF the tax purchaser. So far as
THE FIRST TAX PURCHASER
is concerned, such redemption can IN no way
interfere with any rights he may have. On
the contrary, such redemption, If he has be-
come the owner, will enure TO his benefit or
to the true owner. The right 10 redeem from
a tax sale has received from the courts an
exceedingly liberal construction. The word
''owner' has been held to include a lessee. "A
party holding a bond or deed. and also an
heir of u mortgagee The presumption that
the legislature designed that these intricate
questions of title TO, lien upon or interest in
lands should be determined 10y county audi
tors and treasurers cannot be entertained for
moment, especially as the law does not
specifically provide for any such thing, and
no provision for notice TO the purchaser OF
such investigation and proposed determine
ton is made. The payment of money 10 the
county treasurer does not necessarily effect
the redemption. III the tax purchaser re-
ceiYes it the redemption is complete. If he
refuses il the question of the right of the
proposed redemption to make the redemp-
ton still remains open TO be adjudicated by
the courts.

On East Eighth street, No. $40. near Wash
ingtOn school house, stands a residence of
rather pretentiOus proportions. and the
shades Of the windows and external appear
aBces indicate that it is the home Of we'll
TODD people, who know not the ''slings
and arrows" Of adversely and poverty.
Lifting itself from the roof of the house is
a cupOla, with large glass windows, looking
out over the city to the four points of the
compass. Yesterday afternoon summons
came from the house 10 the police station to
send the patrol wagon there, where DIR.
Ancker. the county physician, was in wait

pains OF childbirth, lying in the cupola
with the newly-born babe. while the
searching winds outside cTeDt in and
chilled the room to almost freezing point,
and the drifting snow beat against the win
dOws and sifted through the crevices. Here
the woman had given birth to her child and
laid helpless and almost uncared for since
morning. No more comfortable quarters
were offered her in the house. DIR. Ancker
said she would run no greater risk Of dying
in the open air than she would 10 lie in that

THE CITY OF TACOMA.
The Coming Metropolis OF the New
Northwest.


w. ID. Tyler, proprietor of the Tacoma
house, Tacoma. w. T., was at the Ryan
yesterday, and left on the afternoon train
for home. The Tacoma house is an elegant
structure that the Northern Pacific road
erected at an expense of several hundred
thousand dollars. and Mr. Tyler. its propri-
etOr, is recognized as one of the foremost
business men of Tacoma. lie was the del
egate of the merchants of that city to the
Duluth board of trade opening. lie Is Ell
thusiastic over the future of Tacoma. and
says that it is the only really deep water
terminus that the Northern Pacific can get
on the Pacific coast. 1t is located on Puget
sound, and has a commanding site upon a
blp1t. which rises gradually from that body
OF water. The wharyes. docks and manu-
featuring establishments, and also the rail
road depots and warehouses are situated at
the foot of the bluff, while the business
blocks and residences are built upon il.
The bluff is terraced. and there is no incon-
yenience in ascending it, The city is i'm
highly prosperous condition, and the
population is increasing rapidly. Ships of
all nations can always be seen moored 10
It's docks, and vessels of the largest draught
can sail right up TO them without trouble.
The Northern Pacific intends TO establish a
line OF steamers aud make an effort for the
immense trade between China and this
country. Tacoma is 500 miles nearer China
than San Francisco, and a quicker transit
of goods from that empire to Eastern or
European markets can be secured by way
of Tacoma and the Northern Pacific than
via San Francisco is and quicker transit
for goods from that empire TO Eastern
or European markets can be secured BY wav
of Tacoma and the Northern Pacific than
via San Francisco. The lumber and coal
interests around Tacoma are very extern
sive, and its citizens look forward to be-
coming the metropolis of the new North
west at no far distant dav.

the effect that the committee be granted

morning in escorting employees of Maxwell
Bros box factory to the scene of their
labOrs. At 1870 o'clock fifty-Six workmen
assembled at the Twelfth street station.

struggled into the factory without an escort.
One of the latter, who gave his name as
O'COnnel, was the one to furnish the SEN
satiOn of the morning. He walked from
Wentworth avenue to Eighteenth street as
far as Halstead without being molested, but
at the corner of the latter street two men
suddenly attacked him. One of them at
tempted to strike him with a club, O'Con-
nell was on the alert, and drawing a knife
plunged it into his assailant's breast. The
injured man staggered, the blood gushing
from the wound, and called on his COM
