Judge Hodgdon Reverses Himself.

In the matter of the Northern Pa
ciic Railway Cempany's delinquent
taxes, Judge .sHodgdon followed his
first DEGREES rdering the County Treas
urer 70 accept S., $50, but another order
toyTreasurer Fredson vacating his
former order, and instructing the
Treasure not to proceed further in
the matter. The, order which is in
substance as follows, explains itself:
cit appearing to the Court in the
above action Jan. 18th, 1898, a demur-
Ter was filed to the amended COM
plant, and on said hearing it was
stated by attorneys for both plaintiff
Company, and defendant County, that
the cause and pleadings were the
same, as in Samuel Benn VS. Chehalis
County, heretofore tried i'll the SUI
preme court; and it appearing to the
Court from a personal examination Of
said case, that the attorneys were mis-
taken in that regard, and that by rea-
son of such statements the court signed
the order overruling said demurrer and
entered judgment and decree, and that
the said Judgment is erroneous.
Now, therefore, by reason of the
law and the premises it is hereby or
dered and considered that said judg-
1nent and decree and the order over
ruling demurrer be and same is here
by vacated, set aside, annulled, cam
celled and held for naught."
Thus it appears that the matter was
not exactly represented to the Judge
and his order is vacated for that rea-
son. The case will probably be fur
Their heard at next term of Superior
court. The Company's agent, F. A.
G1oyd, was engaged in checking up
the taxes with the County Treasurer,
when the order came stopping the
work. The cash had been turned over
to the county and is held by Treasurer
Fredson. 1t is to be hoped that there
is still prospect for more advan-
tageous settlement to Mason County.

The Sunset Company has begun
work in constructing telephone line
from Dyea to the Lakes, over the Chill
koot trail. 1t is contemplated to ex-
tend the line to Dawson, if prospects

The folly of prejudice is frequently
shown by people who prefer to suffer
for years rather than try an advertised
remedy. The millions who have no
such notions, take Ayers Sarsa parilla
for blood-diseases, and are cured. So
much for common sense.
