that district have recently erected.
All the judges and clerks of
election who did not file a bill for
their services before the meeting of
the county court last week, will
have to wait two months for their
pay, as the commissioners refused
to allow the bills as shown by the
clerks schedule, and decided that
bill must be filed before the court
for each separate mans services.
This will render it necessary for
each of them to send bill to the
clerk before the next term of court.
Jas. Booth was up from Yaquina
yesterday and produced his natur.
alization papers before County Clerk
Jones, and received his certificate
of election as justice of the peace

The case of M. S. Woodcock VS..
Lincoln county, which was argued
on demurrer before Judge Fullerton
last term Of court, has been passed
upon by the court, and the de-
murrer was sustained. 1t will be
remembered that this was a case
where Woodcock was foreclosing a
mortgage upon some property on
which the taxes had not been paid
and which were sold last December
for delinquent taxes. Woodcock
brought suit to set aside tie tax
claims. The county through its
attorney, ]. X. Weatherford, de-
murrred to the complaint, and it
was this demurrer that Judge
Fullerton sustained. The status of
the case now stands just as it did
before Mr.. INoodcock began his
suit. The tax claims are held to
be good and it is very probable that
the taxes will be soon forthcoming.
