ed the contract for the county printing

county commissioners having taken the
circulation OF the various bidders into con-

The circulation OF a newspaper should
always be considered as q basis upon
which to estimate the value OF a paper
from an advertising standpoint. 1t is sell

upon to refer to its circulation locally. but
with the renewed prosperity and latest

THE DUTY OF COUNTY ASSESSORS.

THE DUTY OF COUNTY ASSESSORS.
At the last session of the legislature 1t
was made the duty Of the secretary Of
state to appoint deputy commissioner
whose business il should be to compile
a report on the states resources Secre-
tary of State Price appointed A. ". An
derson, and that gentleman without delay
sent out blank forms to county assessors.
Many of these have failed to respond.
Spokane has sent in an unusually careful
report and It is to be hoped every county
will take some pains to be adequately
represented.
Secretary Price has already had some
experience with such work. and his report
for 1884 is very excellent basis for coun-
ty assessors to start from. Considering
the short time and the absence of an ap-
preparation. the report referred to was
very credltable County assessors should
supply statistics and concise. truthful
statements OF the resources. soil. climate
and other inducements for settlers. There
is a great demand for some such authori-
tative publication. and those counties
which show most industry and intelligence
in the compilations win be the first to
feel the benefits OF the immigration which
Is certain to come to this state. Secre-
tary Price will not only send copies OF his
report, but furnish suggestions to those
