Last Saturday the county treasurer re-
mitted the May tax collections to the IN
corporated cities and towns of the county
as follows: Aberdeen, $2l21.5O; Co.'S

Ocosta, $222.37; Montesano, $693.66;
Elma, $132.62. Of the amount RENTED
to Aberdeen, $3s2.49 was 1893 taxes, and
81, 739. oil those Of 1894.
Proof sheets for the new tax books have
been received at the treasurer's Office
They were designed by Deputy jones'
who has spent a great deal OF time IN
simplifying these forms so as to save time
and these proofs show that he has al
mirably succeeded. They not only re-
duce the work in the auditors office
where they are filled out, but also IN seq
pregating collections by the treasurer. --,
The failure of the Bank OF Ocosta seems
to be complete wreck after all. The
liabilities are 1900 mostly due to people
who can ill.afford to lose. The assets are
nominally $1,000, but actually OF doubt
full value, the cash on hand amounting te
the sum of twenty-five cents. The bank
had evidently been in bad shape for some
time, and considering this the deposltors
don't feel very we'll over the way Decke
bach threw money around during tn
campaign, nor over the swell figure he Gu
during the Legislature.
