Our heartfelt sympathy is extended
to the tax payers of the Capital city.
The city council has fixed the tax levy
at II mills. which, with the county
and state tax make IN aggregate tax
OF nearly 4 per cent, on rather high
assessed valuation. 1t strikes us that
it would be Il more sensible idea to
curtail expenses and make reasona-
bic tax levy in proportion to the
"times." The treasury will stand a far
better chance of collecting the taxes
Shelton has no city tax for 1898, and
the county levy is 90 mills. This ex
ira tax, however, is necessary, in order
to redeem $4,000 funding bonds, is
sued in 'SS to pay off railroad bonds
issued in 1873 to build the "wheel-
barrow" LOlympia and Tenino rail
road.

IT will probably be in order for
those who have been 50 active in Great
ing sentiment against the Commits
slOners in the county suits, to have a
little less to say, If they have really
only their interests as taxpayers, at
heart. In the case of the County VS..
the Auditor, the court over-ruled the
demurrer to the amended complaint
Of the plaintiff, and also denied the
motion to strike out the plaintiffs in
terrogatories, allowing the defendant
ten days to answer the complaint and
interogatories. We understand that
the defendant has already answered,
and in his answer denies all the in.
terogatories except the first, for the al
legged reasons: "That the plaintiff as
sumes that the terms abstracts of IT,
tie is synonymous with the searches
for conveyances, etc. defined in the
law, and If the assumption be correct,
the defendant declines to answer for
the reason that his answer to the same
might tend to criminate himself, and
II the assumption be not correct, then
the interogatories are immaterial and
Irrelevant to the issues" The various
Gubblings and technicalities of the
law are slowly being disposed of and
the case will be at issue next term of
court. The case Of Baldwin VS.. Mason
county for salary, was dismissed at
plaintiffs cost.

Il was then that looked around for
the little gray student. She seemed
stunned. After a minute she pushed
back her easel, rose 10 her feet and came
forward, groping with her hands in a
blind, bewildered fashion, then fell prone
at the foot of the Venns. And the sun
