ATTORNEY GENERAL ON TAX
REBATE.

OLYMPIA. WASH, Jan. 10, 1898
C. n. WILSON, Treasurer,
Chehais County, Wash,
DEAR SIR: In answer to yonr letter
OF January 6, asking what authority II
any, the board OF county commissioners
have to rebate taxes, and whether you
are compelled to issue receipts ON their
order, is duly received. Replying thereto
beg to say that there is no authority ex-
listing in the board of county commls-
to rebate taxes, and that any receipts
issued by you for an amount OF taxes less
than that appearing on the face OF the as
sessment roll, are issued at YOUR peril.
The commissioners, together with the
County Attorney, have the right to attend
to the interests OF the county and the
state in any lawsuit affecting taxes, pend
ing in the Superior Court OF your county.
To give any stipulation, compromise or
agreement of their validity, it must be
confirmed by the court.
A receipt issued by you for an amount
mentioned and decided in the decree OF
the superior Court would leave you and
your bondsmen harmless in any alter
question, but a receipt issued without
decree of the Court. based upon an order
Of the county commissioners made at
meeting subsequent to their sitting as
board OF equalization, would not protect
YOU or your bondsmen from liability tc
the county for the difference between the
taxes actually due and the amount re-
ceived and accounted for by you.
You will understand that this was what
intended to convey to you by telephone
in our conversation OH the 9th instant
and anything you may have understood
me to say is subject always to the above
conditions, which, as l understand, are
the law. Yours very respectfully,
THOMAS NJ. VANCE,
Assistant Attorney General.

nature Of trusts. There is in Boston an

spirit OF which is c. NJ. Coburn. At first

ing to put up the price of oil two cents a
gallon If he would limit his business to
1900 gallons day. He refused Since
then they have pursued him in more ag-
gressive ways. They 60 SO far as to offer
to put oil in for his customers for nothing,

DEPRESSION IN COTTON TRADE.

The politicians who have been excus-
ing the failure OF the Dingley tariff law to
improve the condition of affairs in the
New England cotton mills by attributing
Southern mills will have to find new
excuse. The New York Sun, in order to
ascertain the real cause, sent reporter
to Fall River, Mass, the seat of cotton
spinning in this country, who made a
thorough report, covering an entire page
OF The Sun, and giving the views af the
managers of the mills, bankers who
furnish the money, and the workmen
themselves.
The Sun edtorially summarizes the re-
port, and SAYS "The new competition Of
the Southern mills, Of which so muc h
has been heard. while very considerable
and likely to he greater in the future than
it is now, Is not in itself a controlling fact
in the present situation, and alone would
not have brought ahodt the present crisis.
The New England mills have peculiar
advantages in their own location, which,
so far. has sustained them" These adj
vantages consist of greater economy in
operation, owing To experience and ex-
perienced help, more capital upon which
to do business, and the ability to borrow
at low rates OF interest.
un6u.l-s aNS The -Suu iutRhe
chief cause OF tue tfodote Is over prOduc-
ton. More goods are turned out than
there is market for, AMI it is reasonable
to estimate that there are 80 per cent
more spindles running, in tine manufac.
ture of cotton fabrics than are necessary
to supply consumption.
The report accounts for this over-pro-
duction by stating that the present pros
porous condition OF the country enables
the people to buy more woolens, and
hence they do not purchase so much cot
ton. AS large per cent OF cotton cloth
is used because OF its cheapne IS, and as
woolens have been going up while cottons
have been going downward this expla-
nation for the "under.consumption'' OF
the product OF the cotton mills appears to
be rather fallacious.
The remedy proposed by the sun, and
BY the manufacturers is the formation OF
a cotton trust, adding one more to the
long line of trusts. The trouble lies prin-
cipally with the manufacturers OF TIE
cheap grades OF print goods. There are
no importatpnS OF these trades II goods
worth mentioning. and but little, if any
exports, it is an ideal -itual ion from a pro-
tectionst's point Of view, they have the
entire home market. But they have come
to the wall which too much restriction in
trade builds up and they can go no fur
ther, so they must turn and rend each
other to demonstrate which is The tittes t
to survive, or else form il trust and make
the consumer pay more for the goods. 1t
would seem that more liberal scheme
OF trade with other countries would allow
this surplus to be worked off without det-
riment to other branches OF business &C.

their time at Lindhurst, their country home, which commands a. beautiful view of the broad Hudson, just at the place where Washington Irving wrote his Sleepy Hollow legends.
 Miss Gould, the oldest unmarried one of the family, is the head of the family to "the boys" They speak of her as my sis ter," as though they had no other sister, and she is consulted by her brother George in the management of the estate. For financial reasons it is all kept together, and the income is dealt out annually to the several children. They all receffe a like sum, and they are privileged to do with it as they please. T l5
 The only binding clause is upon the suhs ject of marriage Here they are limited; At a family marriage all the brothers and sisters must vote, and if there is one diss senting voice the marriage cannot 1take place. If brother or sister contracts a marriage against the wishes of the reg mainder of the family, then he or she losds all but small share in the family z for. tune There is still enough to support a brown stone front and possibly keep a yacht, but the million or so of income "a year dwindles down to a few thousands.;
 Miss Gould can spend her money upon charity, just as her brother Howard can spend his upon the Niagara Howard, when the yacht was built, christened it and handed 1t to the government to be used in the war. Helen took like sum and sent it to the war department to be used in buy ing warship Then she visited Camp Wikoff and left a check for 5000 behind her. Her hand constantly went in her pocket during the war, and one of her fel- low workers computed that she gave q round million to her country.
 Helen Gould is by no means a straight laced girl. She is, on the contrary, very pleasant, almost familiar in manner. though with a reserve toward strangers. She dresses very plainly, because plain dress is very becoming to her. In appear ance she is slight, of medium build, rather dark, with a strong face inclined to be se- rious. though her mouth, when she laughs, is very pretty. lf4..

is filled with one legged, one armed, knock kneed and reformed youngsters, who learn all sorts of handiwork by which they can support themselves. Special arrangement have been made by Miss Gould by which these children can enter the trades and stand in few years on a plane equal to other -workmen. They are taught wood- carving and other arts; and so are fitted to work their way through the busy world
 Nor is the Woody Crest home the limit of Miss Gould's charitable activity. She has large but systematic hospital work which commences with the babies of the Post Graduate hospital and extends to the babies of all the institutions of New York. She visits the hospitals and makes them most lavish gifts of money. It is no un- usual thing for Miss Gould to purchase $1 .000 worth of needed apparatus institution with gifts and goodies; even the nurses are remembered
 A few years ago Miss Gould was rumored engaged to a certain Dr. Chapin, whom she frequently met in her work. Her friends say that it is doubtful if she will ever mar ry; her life is too full of work for mar riage.
 There is a story of recent benefaction which was instituted at Miss Gould's ex- pense. This is no less than the hiring of a gymnasium in which her friends who are none too wealthy. can practice. Private dressing rooms, a magnifcently equipped room: boomers and instructors, are at the disposal of the guests. Miss Gould herself frequently comes down from Tarrytown to take part In the sport.
 She does all this while her private good deeds are being conducted. Not long ago a cousin a girl of modest means, married and went abroad on a brief wedding tour. During her absent Miss Gould's friends whispered the tale of wonderful surprise which the young lady had in store for her newly married cousin. Unknown to the couple she was building a beautiful home in one of New York's suburbs, which they were to occupy on their return.
 A New York kindergarten has for many years received its stimulus from her purse, and she has given very generously to law classes and private clubs.
