SEATTLE. WEDNESDAY,, xov. -
DELINQUENT TAXES.

The last legislature gave the delin-
quent taxpayer = very liberal oppor-
tunity to catch up with his back taxes.
That limit will expire on November 80.
and thereafter there will be very little
hope Of further escape from q penalty
and interest high enough to make pay
ment Of taxes one Of the first cares OF
= pr0perty-owner. There may be Some
cases Of hardship. They will occur
under any law, but no municipal gov
ernment can be carried on unless the
taxes are paid. and the best way to IN
sure low rate Of levy Is to have
prompt payment. One OF the most
beneficial Of the provisions of the pres
ent law IL that which insures to the
purchasers OF tax certificates a first
class security with tempting profit.
This insures that delinquent taxes will
~ made good by investors who will
buy tax certificates. not SO much for
the purpose Of acquiring the property
- Tor making profit by the ultimate
redemption.
The result of this will be that much
of the outstanding taxes will be paid
A. and the local governments through
out the state will be enabled to meet
their obligations and in some cases get
out Of debt.
There has never been better reve-
nue. and taxation law. perhaps. in the
ono respect that It begins by showing
1enisncy to the delinquent taxpayer.
than proceeds against him with sufii-
Client hardness to insure his attention.
and winds up by bringing to the county
treasures the revenue necessary to
conduct their business.

CORRECT PREDICTION.

A fortune teller told him when he started
westward, no.
That oft he'd be way up In life. and often
way down low
That when he'd rise in the world, he'd
with him carry men.
But when on the descending course he
bear them down again.
He laughed these prophecies TO scorn: said
he would rise all right.
But he would surely hold a grip upon the
lofty height;
And yet the. prophets words came true,
despite his sneering talk
he runs an elevator now In a seven-story
block.

SlLVER'S DECLINE
Is Already Hitting Several Depart
ments of the Import Trade.


H. H. Hincle. the representative of
the Morris and Butts transportation and
shipping company, of Kansas City,
leaves the city next Sunday for the
United States, where he will remain for
sometime. When seen yesterday by a
reporter of The Herald he said that the
high price of gold had driven the firm
that he represented out of the Mexican
market. The company had decided
that until such time as the rate of ex-
change got better they would not re-
quire a representative in the ci4y or in
the republic, and so he had been re-
called.
Mr.. Hinkle came here several months
ago, just when silver began to decline
in value, and since then the company
have found that they could not do
business in Mexico. Before the decline
of silver of late there was very little
margin on the importation of hogs, but
since the great decline of late they
could be bought cheaper in Mexico
than in Kansas City.
The decline of silver is giving the
Mexican native productions a great
advantage in almost every department
of trade Mexican Herald.

found the camp very lively. At the
Creston the roasters and cyanide plant
are in full swing treating stuff at the
rate of 100 tons a day. The method of
treatment is unique and these plants
are the only ones in the world which
are adopting the method in vogue at
Prietas. The tailings are mixed with
low grade concentrates and then passed
through the roaster with salt, in order
to convert the silver into the form of
chlorideS. From the roaster the pulp
goes on to q cooling floor and from
there to the cyanide tanks, each tank
taking 100 tons. Splendid results are
obtained, much of the silver as gold be-
ing recovered. Mr.. d. Richardson is
in charge of the roasters and not Mr.
