ASSESSOR SIEBE.
He Has Worked Faithfully in His
Responsible Office.

in 1890 to the responsible position of AS
SCISSOR of this city and county he has shown
a strict adherence to the duties of his
office. and has never once absented him.
self from the office. 1t is safe to say in
view Of the facts that there is not an Office
holder here who has worked more ardu-
ously than Mr.. Siebe. The people of a
great commonwealth have chosen him to
fill one of the most responsible positions
within their gift. and it is gratifying to
know that the honors are not One-sided,
al Mr.. Siebe has in turn hoDored the posi-
ton by taking to it ability of a high order,
great zeal and the utmost integrity. The
people had confidence in their choice and
that their confidence was not misplaced
the conduct of his Office will amply testify.
With regard to the investigation OF his
Office by the Citizens Defense Associa-
ton, which eliminated in a suit before
Judge CARRIER, brought by this association
to imDeach Assessor Siebe, the facts as
published then are that the Judges dis
sertation on the law governing the Assess
Or's office was an elaborate and thorough
exposition of the matter. He found that
alterations were made in the assess
ment roll of 1891 as claimed, but that the
alterations were made by Mr.. Siebe with
the deliberate intent TO effect reduction of
asses sments, but that in making them the
Assessor Was actuated by good motives
and that his action was based upon de-
sire TO prevent an injustice being
done to persons who had been wrongfully
assessed. The court was also of the opin-

church work almost every Sunday. Our
little society is doing splendidly; we have
never missed Sunday since Mr.. Shinn
started us two years ago. You cannot say
too much about his work; if he had only
started this one church he would have
done good work. Our Y. p. G. U. is in
good shape. The Rev. Mr.. Felt passed
us by on his way to Tacoma, but we
hope to have visit from him before
long. But we have had services for two
years without minister and we will
keep it up until the time comes for US to
have one, and without the help of the

we deserve it by our standing together
and our faithfulness, we would feel
kindly to them if they saw fit to help us.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ de-

its perfect work. We must believe truly,
heartily, intensely. with no reservations,
and in all faithfulness and honesty. We

and that he rewards those who diligently
seek him. And Jesus says, Eye believe
in God, believe also in me-" Faith is the
deepest, mightiest power in the human
soul. Love can do much; but faith,
working by love, can do more. 1t is the
principle which everywhere subdues and
