In paying county taxes many people
become mixed as to the year for which
they pay, and thus are liable to let
taxes go delinquent which they sup
pose are paid. The taxes for any one
year are not due till the next year, so
that taxes paid in 1899, for instance,
are not the taxes levied for that year,
but are the taxes levied in 1898. This
is rather confusing feature in the
law, which may in time be changed.
In looking up old tax receipts, it would
be well to note the printed heading at
the top of the receipt, which specifies
the year for which the taxes were
paid.-Vidette.

Capt. Tew has III. L. Alden and sew
eral others at work changing the in
terror arrangements OF his new steam
er, the Northern Light, taking out
many of the staterooms and convert
ing the space into cabins, building
pilot house, setting back the high
front, and tearing things up in general
to fit her for local work. The boat
is 120 feet long, and was just the thing
for the Klondike trade for which she
intended, but never lett the Sound.
The original cost was about $4,000,
although Capt. Tew got her at a bar
gain. While the engines are first-class
the two square tubular boilers are hard
ly large enough tor the boat. She is
helping out the Shelton on oyster
days, while she is being refitted, and
makes pretty good time, although not
as fast as the other boat. When the
changes contemplated are made the
Northern Light will be a fine craft,
and a splendid addition to the Shelton
route.
