An Open Confession.

There is one fact in favor of the
Dingley tariff law which will be en-
dorsed by majority of the people of
Seattle-and that is the advanced de-
mand for coal occasioned to large
extent by the increased tariff duties
which exclude British Columbia coal
The experience of the two last months
has demonstrated that every coal
mine in the state of Washington is
doing business at the rate of 200 or
even 800 per cent greater than they
did one year ago-and the prices are
considerably sitter than they were in
1S96.-Seattle Times.

The Prosecuting Attorney has a let
ter in the Tribune, giving his reasons
for the action OF the County Commis-
sloners in agreeing to accept fifty per
cent. of the taxes admitted to be owing
Mason County, by the Northern Pacit-
ic, leaving the net sum of S9,o3o.7 to
be paid the County. The reasons OIL
cred, do not seem to us to justify the
settlement for any such amount.
While the railroad company doubt
less would let some OF its poorer
lands go to the County, if forced to
pay their full tax, yet it would puzzle
them to droo enough lands to equal
the amount of this settlement, and
that was simply ''bluff." Ii case the
suit was confined it would also puzzle
the company to produce enough IN
stances of too high assessment to secure
fifty per cent. rebate, especially when
similar lands of smaller holders are ia
ken into consideration. The agree
ment, as published in the proceedings,
states that the settlement was made in
the aforementioned sum, taxes for
the years 18o2-3-4-5-6, to be paid with
in 80 days. This closes the deal, but
the agents further agreed to pay 1897
and future taxes promptly. This
amounts to nothing, as the value de-
ponds on the condition of the company
when future taxes become due and
the value of their lands, AS there is
good fighting ground for S23, 997.15 de-
linquent taxes, Mason county certain
1y gets the worst of the bargain, and
if the state demands it's full tax (of
which there is some doubt) there will
be little left. But the worst injustice
is that there are many smaller tax
payers who are delinquent, and will
not receive any concessions, to say
nothing of those whose taxes have al
ways been promptly paid, and whose
money has kept the county from ban k
ruptcy. 1t is bad precedent to estab-
lish and encourages the corporations
and holders of lands to let taxes so
knowing they can always make big
money by so doing.
There is no reason for making this
partisan matter, it is colo business
proposition of whether Mason County
cannot force better settlement than
that pro posed.

Hoodsport is now getting to be one
OF the greatest fishing points on Hoods
canal. There is at the present time
not less than six companies fishing.

night on low tide when all these fish

Ole for one salmon to escape.
