The Matter of Withholding Funds He
longing to the County.

George NJ. Allan. candidate for asses
sor. gives the following explanation re-
garding the 81. 800 in commissions with
held by him as assessor last year. as
complained of by State Examiner Mo-
rony:
To the Editor of the Standard.
Dear Sir-Referring TO the matter OF
my withholding funds belonging to
the county. said statement as made in
this mornings issue OF the Standard Is
not entirely correct. The facts I'm the
matter are as follows: 1t had been the
custom to allow a commission OF 10 per
cent. to the county assessor for the col
lection OF poor n o taxes: 8 per
cent. accrulng to the assessor. the other
. / per cent. being paid out to the clerks
OF the various mining companies and
other large employers OF labor for the
collection of said taxes. This governed
previous to my incumbency. said 10 per
cent. allowance being authorized by the
county commissioners for a number OF
years, to be used as mentioned above.
Under existing circumstances. l am
authorized to use 3 per cent. of the orig
inal commission for the purpose of pay
ment to the clerks Of mining companies
n other large employers of labor to
reimburse them for the work lone in
collecting o taxes; the other : per
cent. commission this year for collection
OF poor and road taxes.
My reports have been passed upon by
the county commissioners and county
auditor n are open tn the inspection
of the public. II I have withheld any
monies belonging to the county, I am
ready at any time to make the neces-
sary settlement.
By referring To book II. page 26l. 1890.
ID. page 1i7. 1894. there can be found or
ders allowing commissions of 10 per
cent to the assessor to he used as above
described.
The 10 per cent. commission formerly
accruing TO the county assessor has now
virtually been cancelled Though Mr..
Morony. state examiner. when last i'm
consultation with the county commits
sioners saw the necessity OF indorsing
the outlay OF ; per cent, paid out by
the assessor. i'm order to facilitate the
collection Of the poo and road taxes
from the large employers OF abor. As
before stated. the ; per cent. paid out
Is paid wholly TO the clerks OF the min
ing companies. who collect the above
taxes. I personally do not benefit in
any or form.

dered-The Reduction OF
Fares In the West

The Oregon Short Line. in ommon
with every other Western road just
now. is experiencing great difficulty in
providing cars for the tremendous
freight business which IL is required to
handle. Traffic on the Short Line as
well as on the Union Pacific. is unpre-
cedentedly large and the scarcity of
cars II seriously felt, especially for the
transportation of coal and there is con-
siderable difficulty in filling orders
promptly. The Short Line has recently
ordered a number of new coal cars of a
large and improved pattern. some OF
which will shortly be put in use. The
cars will be of double the capacity Of
coal cars now In use. Several new giant
locomotives have also been contracted
for by the Short Line.
Referring to the reduction OF fares in
Montana, Idaho N Washington by the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern.
ahe st. PAUL Pioneer Press
This reduction Involves a great loss
of revenue, especially in the case of the
Northern Pacific, which having the
older line and reaching more central
points OF travel in three states. carries
much the larger volume. General Coun-
rel Donn VI tht 4NoftncfH Idtiht' dittt

posed this reduction. President Mellen
and General Trafic Manager lama
ford did not take very kindly TO IL at
first, but subsequently decided TO adopt

notified. and without n hesitation
decided to make the same reduction In
h same territory.
1t II hoped the reduction in passen-
ger fares in Washington. Idaho and
Montana and the reductions In grain
rates In North and South Dakota and
Minnesota. made by the Great North
will have the effect of neutralizing
tslative hostility between the Twin Cit
ses and the North Pacific coast. Both
reductions were made voluntarily. be-
cause business had improved n the

The Utah q Pacific has been greatly
delayed in building its line south from
Upton. says the Salt LAX Tribune. The
delay is caused by lack OF material and

"Thc Termngnnt."

Since Miss Olga Nethersole has de-
termned TO visit the United States this
season there must be lively sense OF
interest with reference to her new play.
THE Termagant." recently produced at
Her Majesty's theater, London.
"The Termagant' is said to be an un-
happy and misleading title for the play,
as Beatrix. the heroine. is not at all n
brawling, scolding bosterous woman.
In reality. we are assured. she is quite
amiable and rather piquant. which Is
certainly desirable in a stage charac-
ter designed TO enlist the sympathy and
interest of the public.
Beatrix and Roderigo occupy the cen-
ter of the stage most Of the time and
the well rounded poetic language with
which the dramatists have invested
their sentiments bears distinctly lit
erary and also a decidedly dramatic
tone. on one occasion Roderigo. who
has been subject to the tickle humor OF
Beatrix appears i'm disguise, and the
following bit of dialogue uttered at that
moment will serve TO indicate the play
full manner OF the dramatists:
Beatrx-I am sure you are the dull
est listener ever woman had.
Roderigo-D Duller than this Roderigo

Roderigo-Yes.

Roderigo-I thought you were begin-
ming
Beatrix-Not /.
Roderigo (resigned)-There is no need.
| Beatrix-I should think not. But COM
| ing from him the music of the words
| sounded strange. for here was a wild
man OF the woods, ferocious untamed,
passionate. tiger. was horribly
afraid OF him.
| Roderigo-Afraid?
Beatrix-H Horribly afraid! He never

| Roderigo-Didn't you?
Beatrix-In a woman's word book I

| Roderigo-That's worth remembering.
Beatrix-So poured torrents Of abuse
upon him
Rodergo--Did he seem frightened?
Beatrix-Not he. He stood like rock.

Roderigo-Because you loved him?
Beatrix-Because- -because-because--
