was assessed at a fair valuation, much more of 1t is below the standard fixed by sections 3939 and 3940 of the Code His att tention being called to the official obliga- tion placed upon him by section S939 to cor rect this defect, he replied that the reason he has not enforced this provision Of law is that his predecessor did not do so. He promised that in future he will see that this provision is more strictly enforced.
 His land book for the years named shows some improvement over the book or ms predecessor His assessment lists are neat ly prepared and indicate that he has ad- ministered the oath orally to each tax payer The town property of the county, like that of other counties examined, IS not legally described.
 The examiner has also made the foiio"nS report to the governor:
 Dear Sir:-I have examined the books and accounts of Tax Collector R. D. Bow doin of Coffee county, for the tax years 1896 and 1897. That of 1896 consisted in verl- flying his abstract book with amounts charged against him by the abstracts fur nished by the judge of probate and the sums shown to be due by him by the as- sessor's book for that year. I respectfully report that he properly accounted for and paid over to the state and county all sums due by him as shown by such examination.
 I proceeded in the same manner for the tax year 1897, except that I checked his stubs with his abstract book, and find that
  sums in addition to those he has paid over: State tax... ... ...s oLo Special state tax... .z9 County tax..... =. olS P0ll taX... o'oo
 These sums, except S33 of the sum noted for poll tax were assessed and collected by him as escapes, but were not reported to the judge of probate and hence were not charged against him on his final set tlement; $33 of the sum for poll tax is shown by his abstract book to be due because the sum with which he was charged on this ac- count is short of the real sum shown by my verifcation.
 find, however, that he has paid into the state and county treasuries, on account of tax for the year 1897, the following sums which were not legally due by him:
 State tax... ...$ 6zl5 Special state tax..... b65 county tdx... lloo0
 These are sums in excess of what should have been charged against him on account of assessments made by the tax commis- sioner, which assessments, after being made, showed errors to the extent of the sum mentioned, which errors were correct ed by authority of the tax commissioner, but by oversight the collector was never given credit for them.

THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.

A few weeks ago Mr. Cant dec.dfd to build a house, so he hitched up his old gray horse early one morning and came to town to consult with contractor As he wished the house to be we'll built he decided to figure with J. S. Hendrix. Accord ingly he took that long whiskered gentleman into the front office of the Tempe house, the most convenient place in town, and laid before him his plans.
 It was some time past noon when the matter with MT. Hendrix was sat isfactorily arranged. Both gentlemen felt the need of a good meal. so th5y went across the street to the Office cafe where they replenished their ex- pended energies on the excellent food set before them from the kitchen Of G. F. Richards.
 After dinner, having learned from his carpenter, approximately the amount of lumber he needed. Mr. Cant went down the street to the Blinn lumber yard and spent several hours figuring with George N. Gage. He learned that he could do as well on lumber in Tempe as anywhere. and therefore ordered about 19,000 feet immediately.
 As he would now have more people than usual to feed consequent to his building enterprise, and as he was short on groceries. he went into the store of William Goodwin and closed the days business by placing a large order for that young merchants stock in trade.
 A few minutes later an old gray horse giving evidence of the splend d care it had received at G. R. Finch's livery during the day, was seen leav- ing toyn with MT. Cant in the buggy behind, his characteristic foot hang ing out of the box and smile of swe at satisfaction Illuminating his counts- nance.
 The next morning he was in town bright and early. The fist thing h. did was to scop, on his way in, at the H. W. Ryder company's estab- lishment and figure with MT. John ston on some hardware.
 While these two had their heads to- gether, MT. Hendrix went down the avenue. He wanted aid in the con- struction of the house and nothing short of Justice Meyers would do him. and to make the necessary ar engagements with that gentleman he went around to the court house where the two were closeted until noon. Now, then, as MT. Cant is a highly respected citizen and, further, on ac- count of his going ahead with a so valuable improvement to the south side, his every move was of interest to the public, so it is professionally safe to mention that the next pace he entered after leaving Ryder's was the Root drug store
 When Messrs. Hendrix and Meyers came to an agreement they went around on Mill avenue, where they found MT. Cant talking to some cattle buyers who were negotiating for some of his fine beeveS. There was a wink from MT. Hendrix, and biink from

It was the mutual understanding that l three sides of the triangle were equal and MT Cant being so pleased in his belief that he, would now have a square" house, that he excused h.m- self from the buyers and led his car penters across the street into the Laird & Dimes drug store and called for the drinks, which were draw from the stores popular soda foun- tain.
