Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.

The delinquent taxes of Wasco
county, as shown on the rolls now in
the hands of the sheriff, are $50, 900, an
amount almost equal to the inGepted-
ness of the county. Every citizen will
doubtless admit that this state of
affairs should not exist, and that all
taxes should be collected On account
of hard times in the past the county
court has shown leniency to taxpayers,
but that leniency has reached the
limit, and the court cannot wait longer
on deliquents to make settlement.
For this reason a warrant has been at
tached to each delinquent roll. com
manding the sheriff to collect all taxes
by seizure and sale of property. With
the bounbiful crops now in sight. there
can no longer be any reasonable eX-
cuse for the non-payment of taxes.
The sheriff is bound under oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the coliec-
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers Can
save the cost of seizure and sale of
property by settling their taxes at
once. ROBERT KELLY,
Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco County
Dated August 4, 1898.

Price of Wool.

taips the following, which evidently
is from the report of some represent.
alive of AL Eastern firm.
A special from The Dalles, Oregon,
says that from all appearances the
wool market is opening up. A mum Der
of ssles of small clips have been made
at fourteen cents during the last few
day. While the wool men have looked
for still higher price, they are com
ing to the conclusion that they expect
ed too much, and are preparing to sell
for little less than a month ago. On
the other hand the wool market is
looking up considerably, so that the
producers stand a show of getting not
less than fifteen cents for their clip
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1898-09-03

wool has been sold and very fair prices
have been paid. The wool market now
Is in more quiet state again and this
is accounted for oy its being between
seasons of light and heavy weight
goods, and it viii take some time yet
before manufacturers know which way
to turn, as there yet seems To be con-
siderable stock carried by all of them.
The present demand for manufactured
goods is not what is required to keep
looms going. So it looks as if there
will not be any considerable move
ment in The near future. At least this
is the opinion of buyers.

MUST to TO TRIAL TO-DAY.
Legal Battle of First Magnitude Promised in the Ames-
 Harris Suit

OAKLAND, Feb. 3.-One of the flercest legal battles ever fought in the Superior Court of this county is likely to be that of Ann Harris against Josiah F. Ames. The stake fought for is twenty-three in terest-bearing bonds of s1so0 each of the Cincinnati, Richmond and Fort Wayne Railroad Company, twenty interest-bear- ing bonds of 5000 each of the Ohio and West Virginia Railroad Company. being an aggregate value of $43,O0O and an as- gregate annual interest of $3010.
 The case came up to-day on motion for a continuance. The plaintiff is rep resented by Bishop. Wheeler and Fitz- gerald, w. H. Anderson, Raymond Ben- jamin and H. A. Treat. The defense will be represented by Fox and Gray, A. A. Moore and Everett Ames. Owing to the illness of MT. Fitzgerald and the absence of Mr. Wheeler in Honolulu the defense asked for a continuance. This the prose cution refused to allow and the court ordered the case to proceed at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 The parties to the suit are brother and sister and have lived together here for a number of years and are well known She alleges that her brother sold the bonds and appropriated the funds to his personal use This he denies and claims that she gave them to him outright and knew that they were to be sold. The case was filed a year ago the first of this month.

.SEERS AND
 SILVERW ARE Mrs. Bottoms Experience With Two Wander
 ing Gypsies. Promise Her Charms and Ask for Valuables, Which She
 Gives Them. Has an Idea That She May Have Been Somewhat
 Foolish.

ALAMEDA, Feb. 3-Mrs. Bolton of Tregloan place, who has been taking chance at occult science under the tu- telage of a couple of gypsies, and whose tale of woe was told in yester- days Call may be relative of Lucky" Baldwin or she may not be. Whichever the case, this much is cer- tain that the claim to consanguinity with the muchly married individual can never be based on anything con- nected with the sobriquet, for, accord ing to her own tale, the only kind of luck she has been having lately is easily hard.
 Yesterday at the Bolton residence when reporter called the door was reluctantly opened and a mild man. nered little woman appeared, who bade him enter.
 With fear and trembling the visitor found himself in a cosy little parlor that looked all unsuited to the awful invocations of the necromancer, though it no doubt would prove a very pleas ant lounging place to any casual spirit from the vasty deep who might chance to drop in after hard night spent with the boys in some adjacent grave layard.
 Mrs. Bolton did not want to be in- terviewed. She had been having trou- bles enough for the last few days. First came the original gypsy, who told her fortune, said something that sounded like tick, tack, toe." touched her fore head, then touched her silverware, to the value of $65, and vanished.
 
 coming out of her trance, the figure of the gypsy again appeared and said: Have you any jewelry?" "No," said Mrs. Bolton. 'I lost 1t all in a fire"
 Have you any more silver?" again asked the mystic.
 | "No."
 Well, give me that rose." pointing to one on the mantle, "and you will be lucky"
 Mrs. Bolton gave 1t, and was lucky that it was not more valuable. Trouble No. consisted in the ap- pearanee of witch, a sister to the first visitor. This companion of broom sticks and dark nights, after informing Mrs. Bolton that she was destined to become great actress, prevailed upon her to part with a large lock of her | hair for the furtherance of that ambi- ton; and after relieving her of an In dian shawl, the only thing of any con- siderable value overlooked by the first visitor, departed, promising to return in a few days and supply her with a charm of such potency that she woul6 be enabled to gratify any ambition from unraveling stitches to unveiline futurity.
 T may have been little foolish said Mrs. Bolton in conclusion. "bu, I gave the things to the gypsies be- cause they asked me for them" whicf is certainly good reason-from the gypsy's point of view
