featuring of tobacco for export are
working as little as possible, and will
stop altogether in case of war.

Some Attorney General Opinions

Olympia, Jan. 25.-Opinions by the
encouragement have been filed as
follows.
l There can be no question that
when title to school lands has not
passed out of the state, those lands
are not subject to sale for taxes accru-
ed against them. Taxes levied against
school lands held under lawful con-
tract may be treated as a personal
charge against the holders of the lease
or the contract subject to cancellation
for a failure to pay taxes. Lands
themselves may not be sold for taxes
nor made lawful delinquency GER
tificate issue against them.
2 The several county funds are en-
titled to their proportionat9 part of
penalty and interest immediately
upon delinquency.
3 The several funds are entitled to
their proportionate parts of penalty
and interest on taxes OF all years to
which penalty and interest attach.
4 The revenue act of 1897 establish
es new date of delinquency for 1893
As, which is Nov. 80, 1897. Foreclos-
ure proceedings may not be had on
certificates issued prior to three years
from that date.
D. The county treasurer should issue
certificates covering taxes for the
years above named on Jan. 81, 1898,
or at any subsequent time at his con-
venience.

Lumber Trade Improving.

The Alaska excitement is making
considerable business for the Puget
Sound lumberman. 1t has created a
demand locally, also; a lot of boat
building, dock building, and general
repairs, with some new buildings at
home, has raised the prices locally and
stiffened the outside market. Fir floor
ing is selling for local use on Puget
Sound at 500, and that discourages
sellidg to eastern points on lest years
prices. There is a change for the bet
ter all along the line. The general
feeling is that there will be big de-
mand for cedar siding, and 50 prices
have been advanced rhe stocks in
that line are very light; in fact, they
are light in all liues. NJ. 2 fir floor
ing is always scarce, and there is prac-
tically none unsold.
California demand continues good
at least good as compared to former
years. The shipments of lumber and
shingles by rails for December are !;
light; only 533 cars of lumber and 60l
of shingles. These were mostly on old
orders. The total rail shipments from
Washington for 1897 we're Lumber,
1911; shingles, II, $40 cars In 1896
the shipments we're: Lumber. 6Gll

Shelton is Prosperous.

SHELTON, Wash, Jan. 12.-During
the year just closed Shelton has more
than held its own; always a substan-
tlal town, its progress has been slow
but sure. The Peninsular and the
Shelton Southwestern railroads were
operated steadily during the year, and
their output was about $4,000 600 feet
of logs. Fishing and oystering are
two new industries which are receiv-
ing attention, increasing each year
and adding largely to the revenue
which supports our inhabitants.
The most important industry estab
lished during 1897 was the Shelton
evaporation, which is now running day
and night and turning out about two
tons OF evaporated potatoes a week.
This consumes all the surplus produce
OF the farmers, and is a source of con-
siderable revenue. The firm is hold
ing much Of its product at present.
believing that the available supply
will soon run short when the Alaska
rush begins in earnest in the spring
Mason county is alive to the neces-
sity OF good roads, and most of its
thoroughfares offer fairly good travel
at any season, and permit the farmers
from all directions to reach Shelton.
the county seat, easily, and here the
bulk o. their trading is done. The

Bats and The Cooling Moths.

DR.. G. T. Hodge of Clark University
Worcester, Mass, has been studying
the bat as an insect catcher. In an
orchard near his home he found nine
grubs of the cOdling moth in a min
ute. CHANGING to visit another or
chard not a mile from the first, he
iouAd only four grubs in an hours
search. The owner of the farm said
that in an old farm near by lived IS
to 100 bats and his apples were al
ways free from worms. The natural
lst caught bat and offered it some
of the grubs which were greedily ac-
cepted. The codling moth flies only
at night, so does the bat; good circnm-
stantia; evidence that the bat is USE
FIJI friend to the apple growers. DR..
Hodge took half a dozen bats home
and kept them in the parlor. They
made thei' home in the top folds of
the window draperies, flying about at
night and sometimes in the daytime.
From time to time netsful of night
lying insects we're released in the
room and never bug remained in the
morning. The bats took everything,

Fairy Tales by Farmer Todd.

Farmer J. III. Todd OF populisticfame
is at the Grand Central He says that
his visit is purely one of business.
II CAME" be said last night, "to
sell some oxen," and the farmer indus
trio usly hunted all last night in order
to locate the mayor and negotiate the
trade
Farmer Todd is one Of the most pic
turesque figures in Washington poll
tics. A populist always, and a leader
for the past few years, he is at once the
G. vernor's friend and safely within the
band wagon which is carrying off the
governors political enemies. Farmer
Todd was one of the star witnesses in
the Warner investigation of the last
legislature and a prominent attendant
at the recent gathering Of the middle
of-thero readers, at Tacoma.
"But we were just down here then
20 head off that movement, said the
"farmer" last night. "There are only
handful Of straight-outs in the state
and they called a conference to meet
at Tacoma. We all attended for the
purl oSe of beating them and were sue
cessful in having the matter of calling
a convention of the populists referred
to the executive committee of the
state campaign committee. You have
not heard anything of it since, have
your" and the farmer laughed heart
lily.
"The populists will maintain their
identity as a party and if fusion
comes it will do as it did at the last
election. I do not think there is any
doubt but that the reform parties will
fuse. The populists, though, will
watch the course of the Bryan demo-
Gratis in the coming campaign very
closely.
81 think that it is settled that the
populists will demand that the candi-
date for senator be nominated by the
next convention. l do not wish to be
understoodeas saying that he must be
populist, or anything else, but the
people must know who the candidates
for the Legislature are to support, and
every man why is nominated for the
Legislature should be pledged to sup
port the convention nominee"

mate his oxen deal. He added that

that he owns claim worth 100000.

effect that the state, school districts

full share of the n. p. delinquent tax
es just as though the full amount has
been paid instead of but about 40 per
cent. AS the County general fund re
ceives but mills out of total of II
for 1895, and Z out Of II mills for
1896 it leaves the county general fund
out of which the expenses of the coun-
