MUNICIPAL LICENSES.
COLLECT oNs BEING RlGlDlY ENFORCED.
Should the Present Rate of Increase be
Kept Through 1903, the City Would
be s3O,OOO Ahead Of 1897.

When City Treasurer Morris makes
up his account Of license collections
for the current month 1t will be with
an increased earning in the department
OF 81 800 over the revenues for the same
month last year. This showing Is a
very satisfactory one. and II 1t can be
kept up through all the months OF
1895 will result in the collection OF
$780, 600 more money for the enrichment
OF the municipalities Golfers than was
disclosed by the records of 1897.
The Increase is caused very largely
by the rigid method employed in
collections. Many persons who have
heretofore engaged in business upon
which the ordinances of the city laid
a license. but who were permitted to es-
cape yielding obedience thereto are now
being compelled to pay up. Take Tor
instance outside or foreign insurance
companies of which there are from
fifty TO sixty represented by agents IN
this city. In the past they escaped
the payment of So annual license
fee each Now they are compelled 10
come TO the front and make settle
ment. 1t will thus be seen that from
this branch of business alone CON
siderable amount of revenue VIII pe
obtained. At first some oil the ihsur
ance agents demurred, but finally they
acknowledged the legality OF the city
claims. paid their fees and went OUT
to rustic for additional business.
Then there are the ticket brokers' on
whose calling an annual license Zee OF
500 has been imposed. Under the ad-
ministrations of the recent past these
gentlemen piled their vocation without
regard for the ordinance exaction.
Now they too. are required TO come
forth and assist In bearing their pro
portion of the cost in mhintalhihg the
city government. They are, however,
making an attempt to resist collection
and are preparing 10 test the eaS' az
the courts.
There are various other sources from
which 1t is proposed to augment the
contents of the city's cash box as soon
as they can be reached, But II VIII
take time. and even now, the ,reasuf ,,,,
all the diligence that can be
used a considerable class are evading
payment of licenses. These include
butchers, grocers, peddlers ana others
who ply their trade in the outskirts OF
the city--a class which IL is found ar
ficult to reach with such a limited force
as comprises that of the treasurer 5
department. At present there is but one
man in the field-Johannes Halversen-
and the ACCESSIBILITY Of employing an
other has been suggested IN view or the
excellent showing made. Whether TINS
will be done, however, Will not be de-
termined until the salary ordinance Is
disposed of by the City Council.
Water rate collections are somewhat
better the shutting off process having

A special to the Tribune from Seattle,
Wash, under date of the eth inst,

located on Bonanza, Sulphur, Domin-

ish Columbia.
Chris Neebur and Carl Hunt are the
sellers Neebur is an Iowa boy, and
Hunt has mined for several years in
the Kootenai and Oregon before going
to Alaska. They spent four years in
the Yukon.
Both were IN the Klondike early in
the spring of 1897 before the stampede
from the states. They secured num-
Der OF valuable claims on the principal
gold-bearing streams in the camp.
After taking out n large quantity of
gold from No. Q. above Discovery, on
Bonanza, they sold n half-interest in
the claim for $4,000.

Mr.. Watson is down from Stierman's.
He is one of the old stage men OF this
section, having been with Gilman az
salisbury for 23 years and later with
Boomer. He gives It as his opinion
that there will be very heavy travel
into the Basin country during the pres
ent year. The signs point that way.
he says. one who has had such wide
opportunity to observe the currents of
travel in mining region should he
able to give @ very reliable opinion on
such subject.
Mr.. Watson's opinion agrees closely
with that OF others who have been oh
serving what has been going on for
some months. They all state Il to be
their belief that there will be great ac-
tivity In the Basin after the winter
breaks and that travel into that sec-
ton will be heavy.-Boise Statesman.

Asthma
Cure

better known as Ayers Cherry Pee
toral, has made a record for its
remarkable cures of asthma. Cases
that have been considered beyond
hope or help have been cured by
this remedy. We give two examples
of such cures out Of the many on
record
my mother has been a great sufferer
from asthma for the past ten years, and her
recovery is almost without parallel. On
account Of her advanced age--over seventy
we had but little hopes of ever seeing her
well again but we are sincerely grateful to
inform you that she has been entirely cured
by the use of Ayers Cherry Pectoral.1
INGLIS BANKS, Tar Brook, MS.
81 was a sufferer for long time from
asthma, vainly endeavoring to procure relief
in the use Of ordinary remedies. AT length
was induced to try bottle of Ayers Cherry
Pectoral. The first bottle afforded me SO
much benefit that continued the use Of the
remedy until entirely cured"
