The difference existing between
the sheriff and the county coart
seems to be over the advisabiiity OF
making a sale of property for delin-
ouent taxes. The court thinks that
much OF the taxes will be voluntar-
ily paid during the next month or
two, and that sale at this tine is
unwise, and that it is not at all
probable to bring in enough to pay
the expenses incidental to a sale.
The sheriff claims that he IS im-
posed upon by being compelled to
carry a number Of delinquent rolls
in his Office, and no prospect for the
settlement OF disposal of them. He
has the delinquent rolls Of 1889, 90,
91, g2 and 90 in his hands and nat
urally would like close them up in
some manner. The law, ne claims,
contemplates and directs that this
be done by levy and sale of proper
ty. Upon the first three rolls named
above he has collected the grand
total of SIS, the amount collected
on the 1889 roll being 81 cents. To
require the sheriff to carry these
rolls is unreasonable, and a sale
would be Improbable. It does
seem to US that the court and the
sheriff ought to be able 10 set to-
gether in lhis tax matter and agree
upon some feasible plan of collec-
ton which would he fair 10 bQtl
county and sheriff.

The Inspector has left US. When
he was here a year ago he gave us
a good send-off on the reservation,
but he did not seem inclined 10 do
so this time owing to some things
he seen which he did not like to
see. The better class of Indians
are very sorry and hope that it will
not occur again,
Indian court was in session last
Monday. One case Of drunkenness
was sentenced to 80 days in the
Agency Jail. The case against the
Logan boys was continued as one
of the witnesses was at the mouth
of the Siletz.
Theie has been quite little stir
for the past week here. It seems
as though most everybody are out
on their muscle, for there was a
pull and hit between two women,
which resulted in both being made
pretty sore. 1t is getting danger
GUS to be safe these days We hope
they will tumble to themselves and

thus wreaked a devilish vengance

wool. Built of dry lumber, the
structure burned like tinder, and
when the last bit of timber had
been consumed, there was not left
