MR.. B1NaHAM's REPORT.
1t Is Approved BY the Court and Gives
Some Information

i
Geo. G.. Bingham, who rendered ser
vice to the county in the form of col
lecting the Oregon Pacifc's back
taxes, filed the following document
with the commissioners yesterday
To the County Court of Marion COun-
ty-Gentlemen:-
/ have collected from the Oregon
Pacific Railway Co., and the VILLAIN
ette Valley & Coast Railway Co. the
delinquent taxes which were placed
in my hands FOR the years 1890, 1891,
1892 and 1893 as follows:
For the year 1890 81 ,277.44, with
s22.77 penalty.
For the year 1891 50, 1858, with no
penalty.
For the year 1892 $2,3S5.6S with
S23S.50 penalty.
For the year 1893 s2,27O.4S with
S22.70 penalty.
Making in all $9,O5O1S delinquent
taxes and S2S3.97 penalty.
No assessment was made by the as.
SCISSOR for the year 1891, nor was any
assessment made for that year until
about the month of September, 1893,
when the assessment for 1891 was
made by the sheriff under my drec-
tions. The tax for that year is 81, 49,
SO, no part of which will have to be
paid to the state.
have paid in to the county treas
urer the sum of S7,S66.73, and l have
pal d to ex-Sheriff Croisan $22.77, his
fees for the year 1890. / have paid to
Sheriff Knight $46.55, his delinquent
fees for the years 1892 and 1898.
have charged for my services fifteen
per cent. on the amount collected.
The saving to the county by retaining
all of the tax collected for the year
1901 will very nearly pay my fees, so
that the county will Ia reality be out
nothing for the collection of its
portion of these taxes.
The first petition was filed about
the first day of June, 1891, nearly five
years ago, ,and the matter has required |
1lligent attention from that time
until this. For each years taxes
judgments have been rendered i'm
favor Of Marion county.
The report was accompanied by a
,heck for $l0.40 to correct an error
made by Blngham's type writer IN
,asting up the accounts.
The above report shows that it cost
lie county S1467.42 to collect the de-
inquent tax on the Oregon Pacific, or
learly l6 per cent. Mr.. Bingham's
eport accounts for only two items
Il the Sl467.42, to-wit, the 800. .32
heritf's fees. The report was not
onsldered very satisfactory by the
ourt, but was accepted and approved,
s the only thing they could do.
udge Hubbard and the present COM
nissioners do not know of any con-
ract under which this was done.
lr. Bingham claims that he in
urred large items of expense in
ollectlng this money, and IL he did .
c should render full statement of !
he same. The way II stands, no con- !
ract is alleged or referred TO in Mr..
'lngham's report. He simply kept y
ut what he considered belonged TO :
i'm and gave the county the rest. i
he matter should be further invest-
lted, as this system OF an agent OF y
ne county auditing his own accounts y
aves Il bad precedent for the future.
ut II seems the county is powerless. .

MIR. ALBERT's LETTER.
SALEM, March II, 1895.
To the Hon. Common Council of the
City Of Salem:
GENTLEMEN:-Referring to a GER
tain notice served upon me, this day,
by w. j. Culver, as street commits
sioner, l beg to say that the survey
or'sreport with its accompanying plat,
on file with the city recorder, shows
that the road or street referred to, was
located "along the south line of the
Wilson claim"
The records OF the U. S. land office
show the Wilson claim NO A. to have
been established prior to the Leslie
claim NO. 45) and that the south
boundary of the Wilson claim is a
right line projected from its south
west TO its southeast corner.
The charter Of the city of Salem
recites that the "limlts of the city
shall be as follows, commencing in the
main channel Of the willamette river
at the southwest corner of the late
w. II. Wilson's claim, thence east,
following the southern boundary TO
the southeast corner Of said claim,
etc. etc"
My southern boundary fences were
located by City Surveyor Culver, about
one year since, as being just thirty
feet north OF the southern boundary
Of the city, the Wilson line, in regard
to the location OF which there can be
nodispute. This line is now confirmed
by the city surveyor and has not been
by any subsequent survey;

$500 in Gold nrOw IS a Man

At the burning of steamboat on the
Hudson river many years ago, many of
the passengers were drowned. Among
the bodies brought up from the bottom
of the river by graphing was that of a
man known to have been an excellent
swimmer. Around his waist was belt
containg nearly $500 in gold That told
the story.
I'm old and chronic cases of Indigestion
dyspepsia or gastritis-it is all the samel
the sufferer develops a great variety Of
symptoms and often dies-poisoned by the
products OF his own torpid and infiamed
stomach His food, instead Of being di-
gested, and so furnishing strength and
physical substance, ferments and putre-
fees within him. The chief process of life
is arrested at a vital point. The more
he eats the worse off he is. And yet I'M
less he can be fed he must also perish.
People do so die, daily, by thousands, but
we doctors seldom have the moral cour-
age to give the cause it's true name lest
we should be laughed at for our inability
to cure so simple a thing as Indigestion.
Simple? Why, it is the capstone Of all
complaints-and the mother Of most of
them."-So writes a famous English ply
stefan.
Some Of the symptoms alluded to are
these: Loss OF appetite; distress after
eating; heartburn and palpitation; gid
diness; foul taste in the mouth the ris-
ing of nauseous acids and gases into the
throat; furred tongue; spots before the
eyes; unaccountable WEAKNESS and fati-
que; sluggish circulation; weakness and
nervous prostration; constipation or
diarrhoea; discolored skin, etc.
The sufferers friends often advise him
to cheer up; to throw off his lethargy
and eat freely. Bad advice. He knows
better; NO" he answers, II cannot;
my food does me no good" He is right.

Washington, Nov 23.--Thc Washing
ton Star this afternoon publishes an in
tcryiew with Yice-P President ST John,
OF the Seaboard Airline, at Norfolk.
Va, on the question Of the existing diff
fcrcnces between the Seaboard and the
Southern Railway Company. The Stars
correspondent expresses the opinion that
u desperate traffic war is impending be-
tween the two companies
The price OF peace, he infers, from his
interview with Mr.. st. John, is the with
drawa OF the Southern's steamer line
between Baltimore and Norfolk and the
granting OF the demand Of the Seaboard
which has been pending for several
years to allow the latter to run it's train
between New York and New Orleans.
1.-THE Seaboard Airline" said Mr.. St
John, 'will demand from its competitors
all the privileges of any other company
and failing to receive them, will resort
to such means to enforce its demands
as may be deemed wise and just by the
directors Of our company.
IF the Southern Railway Company
wants to preserve the peace between it.
self and the Seaboard Airline it knows
exactly what to do" continued Mr.. St.
John. To a further question Mr. St
John said that the Seaboard Airline an
nounced some months ago that it wanted
to run through passenger coaches from
New York to New Orleans and that it
still wants that right. He added: Il
do not look upon the concessions which
we, have said we wanted in the light
of Il favor. / consider that the Seaboard
has the right to demand any and every
accommodation that is extended by any
and every line to either the Southern or
any other competitor Of the Seaboard."
AS to whether rate war was impend-
ing, Mr.. st. John said: THAT depends
entirely upon what the Southern may
do, il it does anything to change the
existing condition OF affairs. They know
what steps it is necessary for them to take
to restore harmony. Right here, / wish
to say that the impression which has
gotten abroad that the Seaboard is al
ways anxious to fight it's competitors is
an error The Seaboard does not want
rate wars but we know our rights and
I trust and hope we will always be able
TO maintain and enforce them"
