AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS.
To TIE COMMISSIONERS,

To THE COMMISSIONERS,
CHEHALrs County, WASH,
GENTLEMEN The taxes assessed
against lands owned by the Northern
Pacific Railroad company in Chehalis
county, including penalty and interest
amont to about $S5, 900. OF this amount
$40, 900 is assessed against alleged unpat-
ented indemnity lands, which the COM
pany alleges to he wholly Illegal, and
void, and therefore refuses to pay any
part of said $4,000. At your last meet
ing the company submitted proposition
OF compromise to yon concerning the Other
$45 900. Leaving the said $40, 900 OF
taxes to be fought ont in the COURT
You passed an order to the effect that
should stipula,e in court with the rail-
road attorneys to reduce the taxes OF the
company to 81 per cent. Of the face of the
$4,000. This meant dropping all inter-
est and penalty and So per cent Of the
face OF the tax, and leaving the illegal
part of the tax, tc-wit the $40, 600, to be
fought out.
The day before you passed this order
| had filed with you my written opinion
which i'll no uncertain terms opposed re-
batting the company's tax on the grounds
first, because you did not have the law
full power to do SO second, because it was
unjust to every other taxpayer. | was
then given to understand that my advice
would be followed. It was therefore with
surprise that | afterwards learned of your
action. Allow me 90 say that your pro-
posed rebate would be Il gift to the rail
road company OF about 1000 of legal
taxes.
| am therefore impelled to inform YOU
that absolutely refuse to do ANYTHING,
in court, out OF court, to carry your order
into effect, or in any wa, to rebate the
railroad taxes. In my Judgment, you
have no iight to rebate !aXes, NOR to or
der me- Is elo 90 by stipulation in court.
IL attempting il, I jh'Nk you have ex-
ceeded Your lawful powers, and at the
same time di.ciiu,irairi against every
other Taxpayer. II every person obtained
IL similar ro lnrinn would not be so
bad but TO deliberately attempt to reduce
the taxes Of this railroad corporation in 8
sum OF aboHt $40 600, is glaringlv unjust.
You will notice that The company re-
fuses to pay Il cent Of the other SAC, 900 OF
taxes on the ground thai il is illegal, so
your attempted reduction only affects the
legal tax. | shall follow my own judg.
ment in this matter, and assure you
that the railroad tax viii not be related
during my term D.! o'ii.e if in any legal
way can prevent it. Yours truly,
w. II. ABEL,
County Attorney.

TWAS by no means safe for stranger

its cities might prosper or perish, and no

John obtained only a vague idea. But

Mr.. G. II. Gould, in recent letter from
Republican City, Neb., says:
| came to this country from Iowa In April
1872, settling on a homestead near Republic
an City, Harlan county, Nebraska, wishing
to begin farming on my own account. 1t took
all my means to get here, and had to start
In empty handed, having no team or stock
except one COW and one hog. The cow
sirayed off and was lost, so was left with
the one hog. With that started in TO make
my way IN the new country.
i raised few hogs through the first years,
and in 1883 / bought some Poland China
pigs, and commenced breeding that variety
OF swine. which have continued ever since.
i am now raising one hundred and nifty 10
two hundred hogs year, have $50 acres of
land, thirty acres IN alfalfa, from which the
hogs are fed the year through. In the win
ter they are fed the hay, which they like as
well as the green pasture, and for the young
stock | think it IL better than the pasture.
In 1895 | raised one hundred and fifty pigs,
which were fed through the summer on al
falfa exclusively. having no grain to feed
until the corn crop was ready TO feed in the
fall. ! never had pigs come out as well as
they did, and they were the easiest fed out,
and cheapest lot OF hogs ever raised. sold
over one thousand dollars worth at public
sale Nov. 10. 1895. and fed out the balance,
over seventy-fve head, for the pork market.
The hog has made more money for the west
ern farmer than any other farm animal. and
/ am not sure but what he has made more
than all others combined. The present low

be had) puts the business within the reach
of the men of small means as well as tine

clean.
Having high perches often causes

Supply raw bone, either crushed OF

With laying hens wheat may be the

So far as is possible the food should
be varied every few days.
Push the Matching. The early Matched

Tobacco stems or leaves placed in the
nests will aid in keeping them free
from vermin.
Observe which hens are the best lay
ers and breed from them. Such traits
ore hereditary.
With large breeds one cock TO every 12
hens is sufficient: with small breeds
one to every Is hens.
Give the fowls all the range and ex-
ercise that the weather will permit from
this time on until spring.
When eggs from distance are re-
