A Bio sur.-During the past two
years Markley 4 Dunstan, professional
abstracters from the East, have been
making a complete abstract OF the titles
OF Benton county, at Corvallis, and per-
ieeting the titles generally, the books
having been in rather Of bad shape.
At the last term Of the County Court,
having completed their work, they pre-
scented their bill, which figured up 1890.
Now comes Judge Burnett and brings a
suit against the County Judge and Com
missioners, and County Treasurer, en-
joining them from paying the county
warrants, which had been issued In favor
OF Markley and DunstAn. The complaint
alleges that the whole transaction was
unconstitutional and that said sum was
more than the work performed was
worth and the county commissioners
had no right TO enter into such contract
under the present laws Of the state. The |
care Is an important one and will be |
watched with great interest.

Az ExANPLE.-Eugene has set good |
example for other cities, as well a. for
counties generally:
Mr. T. Stewart refuses to pay city taxes
ON his land that lies within the city |
limits, and three years taxes have ac-
cumulated against the property amount
ing 10 s273.56. Wednesday the marshal
commenced proceedings 10 enforce pay
ment by levy and sale. II IL expected
that Mr. Stewart will resist and IL viii
probably require the supreme court to
decide whether or not taxes can be col
lected from property that has been made
valuable by the town.-Guard.
