KING COUNTY AUDITOR.
T.. ii. Evenson, County Auditor; T.
III. Wood, Chief Deputy.

No King County officer deserves more
credit than does Auditor Evenson. On ac-

pledge. He at once realized that his duty

about him a corps Of assistants, using
good judgment in their selection, and so
far as the perfection and success OF de-
tails Of the department are concerned
Mr. Evenson gives much credit 20 the
loyal and intelligent cooperation of inese
gentlemen.
But the most Important piece Of work
which the Fusion County Auditor did
on oehalf Of this taxpayers was to expose

joys the undivided confidence OF the peo-
pie OF King County. 1t is stated from
many parts of the country districts that
Mr.. Evenson is the first Auditor who has
taken deep interest In the building of
good roads throughout the county. and
especially has he been given credit for
his persistent advocacy of n permanent
system Of trunk roads through the popu-
lous country districts into the city, in lieu
OF the crazy-quilt. zigzag wagon trails
established by former administrations.
He is also greatly commended for giving
the people fun information as TO what
was being done In the county through his
monthly reports and otherwise.
Should Mr.. Evenson decide to enter the
political arena and receive the nominati ton
again for Auditor. with the experience
and the ability he possesses. there is no
doubt but that the verdict OF the voters
OF the county would ne a Triumphant re-
election, with a larger majority than at
his election in 1896
The array OF facts and figures found
herewith. which have been examined and
verified by the Auditor, is certainly enough
TO convince the most skeptical that all the
public affairs entrusted to his keepjns
have been handled in the interest of all
the people of the county:

His A ssistants.

1t is needless to say that the Chief Dep
uty, John Wallace. has won hosts of
friends oy his uniform courtesy and polite
attention TO duty, as the people of King
County are very nearly all acquainted with
him and can attest 10 his usefulness and
popularity.
w. C. Rutter in charge OF the Probate
Department, has won laurels. He is ably
assisted by William Corcoran. This de-
partment requires very close attention to
details, and is considered ona OF the hard
est in the court house.
Thos. II. PidduCk. tho cashier Is a most
competent man. He is naturally polite
and courteous and has not made an enc
my.
A. Jeffrey, in charge of the appearance
docket, does his work in n very neat and
cry respect.
Prof. W. W. De Long, in charge OF the
executive docket. occupies a hard posi-
ton, but he fills II most acCeptably. G..
IL Martin. the vault clerk. is attentive
and faithful. He keeps the records IN
first class order. A. f. Raymond. the
stenographer; William Gottstein and A.
u. Holloway of the journal department
are painstaking, capable officials.
The help in charge Of the courts has
been happily selected. c. p. Crawford is
tn charge OF the equity department.: James
skinner OF the civil department. and Earl
X. Jenner of the criminal department
These gentlemen are all under thorough
business discipline, so that the vast bust
ness in Mr.. Holloway's department moves
forward harmoniously.

WHEAT And SILVER
Wheat Is Again Nearly on a
Par With Silver.
The Extraordinary Conditions Of the Past
Year May Not Be Repeated.

Under the influence OF good crops wheat
is again nearly on par with silver, and
II the reports from India are fulfilled there
is a strong probability of a greater de-
cline in price. There certainly will be a
further reduction IL the reports from the
threshlng machines bear out the high es-
innate of the crop of this country; but
there is no doubt that the drought. in
spots, has decreased the promised yield.
The reduction in the stocks of wheat and
-four in this country and Europe will pre-
vent any much greater decline until the
worlds crop is approximately known. The
usual bear influences of the milling trust
will, as usual, pe exerted to keep down
the price until the main portion OF the
crop has left the hands of the farmer.
The extraordinary conditions of the
past year may not be repeated for some
time TO come. and those Republican ora
tors and organs who reveled in the wheat
prop having been knocked from under
one of the bimetallic arguments will have
10 fall back on the war or the return OF
prosperity.

FINANCES.
Considerable more public business

Considerable more public business has
been transacted under the present ad-
ministration for the first eighteen months
than under the former administration for
the last eighteen months of the term; as
the records show that the Auditor put in
seventy-six days as clerk of the Board
of County Commissioners TO tfty-three
days for his predecessor, and twenty-one
days az clerk of the Board of Equaliza-
ton to five days for his predecessor.
In addition to this the tax rolls. to be
executed by the Auditor, contained fully
one-fifth more extensions than for the
preceding year. There are also fully $50
per cent. more names on the personal
property tax rolls OF 1897. than were on
the rolls for the preceding year.
l hereby certify that the foregoing
statement is correct as shown by the Of
fetal records. r. A. GRAHAM,
