Notice to DeIinquent Taxpayers.
FIVE LITTLE GIRLS.

The delinqent taxes of Wasco county,
as shown on tho rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are 500, 900. an amount al
most equal TO the indebtedness 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 Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason a
warrant has been attached to each de-
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by SEIZURE and sale of
property. With bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea-
sonable excuse for the non-payment OF
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec-
tion thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can cave
the cost of seizure AMI sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.
