PLURo- PNEUMONIA is raging with un-
precedented violence among the cattle
in some districts in Pennsylvania and
Illinois. Strong quarantine measures
have been taken to prevent the spread
OF the disease, and it is thought that
large numbers OF the infected stoc
will have to be slaughtered to check
it's course.

soon we will have double the telegraph
facilities we now possess with the East.
The Canadian Pacific railway telegraph

HOPE FOR SEATTLE-Seattle should
now be content with the prospect in
store for her, if she has not, in her
craze against railroads, soured upon
all such enterprises. The Spokane
Falls Chronicle publishes special dis
patch, dated Chicago, September 2lst,
which says that A party Of promi-
nent railroad men had left New York
city, the previous day, en- route for Sc
attic, headed by w. r. Robinson, at
one time with the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas road, and later General
Traffic Manager OF the West Shore
road, whose object is to prepare for
the laying of the tracks of new road
to be built from Seattle in an easterly
direction. 1t is to be about five hun.
dred miles long and will pass through
a territory rich with coal deposits, cop.
per mines and the further east wheat
lands" The account does not state
what connection is to be made fol
through service, but very confident
ly adds, The line has already been
fully surveyed and rails are now on
their way from England"

THE Tacoma Ledger seriously pro-
poses to hire a band and station it on
the piazza Of the Tacoma Hotel to play
while the canoes of Northern Indians
paddle pass the city front, on their re-
turn to to their homes laden with the
" iron dollars" earned in hop-picking.
It argues that as music has charms
to soothe the savage breast" the Indi-
ans will halt, and while in town will
spend their money in gewgaws. The
idea is worthy Of Seattle enterprise,
but much more feasible way would
be to set barrel of whisky on tap on
the aforesaid piazza, with a policeman
or two to guard it from ravages of the
white tramps. This would be the bait
that would catch Lo, and it would hold
him, too, until he had "blown in" his
last cent.

COUNTY AFFAIRS.
Proceedings of Special Meeting OF
ThurStOn County Commissioners.


The County Commissioners met in
special session September 9th. for the
purpose OF making settlement with
the Sheriff, and that officer having pre-
scented receipts for 1920 more than he
had credit fol- on the Treasurer and
Auditors books, for taxes of 1882. ex-
Treasurer Munson was called In, who
stated that the two receipts, Aggregat-
ing the said 1890, were included in
the next subsequent segregated re-
ceipt, and should not be taken into
consideration, as they should have
been returned TO him at the time OF
giving said segregated receipt, the
said $3.50 being merely placed on de-
post during the collection OF delin-
Quent taxes. The Auditor substanti-
ated said statement, and said further,
that duplicate receipts for said amount
of $3.50 had never been filed in the Au-
ditor's office by the Sheriff. The Sher-
if did not know anything about 1t, as
the business had been transacted by
his deputy, r. P. Shoecraft; but said
if such was the case, he would pay the
amount OF the deficiency into the
treasury, but declined to do SO until
such facts were proven.
On settlement, it was ascertained
that there was due from the Sheriff,
excluding the said 1920, deficit for the
several years as follows:
For s2 ....-.-- 800 s ta1 =. 10
1853. 80. ~. -
The Sheriff then presented bill for
the Sheriff's penalty on property sold
to the county for those years, and road
tax receipts taken in payment OF de-
linquent taxes, and for 1877 certificates
OF sale to county for taxes of 1885,
amounting to $5l722; also bill for
keeping prisoner, George Langham,
in county Jail from August 7th to Sep
TENDER q, 1856, which said bills were
approved and the Auditor was author
lied, upon presentation vi Treasurer Is
receipts for amounts due from Sheriff,
to draw warrants for the amount of
said bills.
The Sheriff was then granted ten
days to make payment, after which
the board adjourned.

The Vancouver indictment having
