Northern Pacific Taxes Paid.


On Tuesday the Chehalis county
commissioners and the Northern Paci-
nc Railway company came to an agree
ment regarding the taxes due that
county from the company. AS soon
as the settlement was agreed upon,
the company's agent at once handed
tue treasurer a check for the amount.
So, 84O.O5.
We have been unable to find out the
amount of the rebate granted the rail-
way company-none seem to know
exactly what it is-the county treasur-
er says the rebate is about $I2, 200 from
the original tax. County Attorney
Abel, who has protested the settle
ment, says the rebate. from original
tax is So, 663.
The greatest rebate in any one
years tax was on that of 1893, when
the valuation was very high. The
reduction on that year alone amounted
to over $4,000. The taxes for 1898
we're paid in full
No payment was made on taxes on
indemnity land, as the supreme court
had decided that such lands were not
subject to taxation. The taxes on
these lands were $32, 800. 9o.-Monte-

Work on the faterals and at the
camps of the Mason County Logging
company in the Black Hills goes on at
rapid rate, and the change thus far
made in the appearance of the country
thereabout is something remarkable.
The lateral from the Northern Pacific
to the timber is almost completed, and
during this week work train will ar
rive from Tacoma to finish ballastinp
the track. Before many days the en-
gines for the spur will have arrived.
and the remainder of the donkey en-
gines for the camps will be on the
ground. Several are here already.
and there will be nine donkeys alto
gether.
AS to the time when it is expected
the company will begin. hauling logs
into the city, it is stated by officials
that it has been thought best not to
commence this work until after July 4.
The company will be prepared consid-
erably before that time to commence
operations, but it was deemed best TO
set July S as date of actual commence
ment of the work. The idea is that
II the company were to put 200 or 800
men at work two weeks before the
Fourth everyone of them would want
to come in on the national holiday.
and this would in degree mean dis
organization right after starting IN,
and so it was thought best to wait un-
til after the holiday is over with.
Once commenced, the work will fly
and logs galore will continue to pile
into the bay.-Olympiau.

The sympathy which is extended to
the pore tramp during political CAM
paigns is not only given solely for eff
feet but it is all out of place. for with
the return of good times the tramp
piles his vocation just the same. A
good many people pat themselves
that they never turn a tramp away
from their doors without something to
eat, but giving to tramp without re-
curing him to give back something in
return is no charity at all. The New
berg Graphic truthfully says that it is
simply giving him something that has
been bought by honest toll and at the
same time encouraging him in beating
his way through the world. Any
worthy man is willing to pay for what
he eats, either in money or honest la
Dor, and giving to a dead beat is any
thing else but charity.

Reasons Why the Government
Should Not Evacuate Cuban
Provinces.

Havana. July Ex-Governor General
Brooke. when seen today in relation to
the cable dispatches received here from
Washington, saying that the authorities
had decided that five battalions of the
troops now IN Cuba could be withdrawn.
but that it was believed that this would
be a dangerous move on account of the
yellow fever. declared that he knew moth
ing regarding any such movement but in
sisted that there was no yellow fever at
any point from which troops could be
taken.
The only yellow fever in Cuba is at
Santiago and Puerto Principe. The army
doctors say that the principal danger in
moving troops from Cuba now would be
fevers resulting from the change of eli
mate, of which numbers of cases were
discovered last year when the troops were
Withdrawn from Santiago
At this time many Of the soldiers were
their arrival from the United States.
Many. army officers consider that the
removal of the troops now would be a
questionable policy, as. though Cuba is
quiet, whenever troops have been with
drawn in large numbers from any point
in the island, their removal has been fol-
lowed Immediately by numerous outrages
by bandits. as has been eyinced in the
province of Santiago.

10 CARE FOR THE SICK.
Nine Trained Nurses Are Sent to the
Philippiues


New York, July 21.-The o'clock
through train on the New York Central
last night for San Francisco carried
nine more trained nurses for the Philip
pines, sent out under the auspices of
auxiliary No. 3 for the maintenance of
trained nurses. Following is the list:
Miss Duensing, Miss Barbara Zeigler
Miss Mary NJ. Summey, Miss Helen
Fraser, Miss Katherine YeakeI Miss
Amy Pope, Miss Carlotta Marshall,
Miss Lydia E. Coakley, Miss Mary Muir
ray.
These nurses are sent in response to
an appeal for more nurses cabled last
law Reid, chairman of the committee on
the maintenance of trained nurses, to
which auxiliary No 3 turned over the
care of closing up its work. Adjutant
General COrbin as soon as advised of
the appeal, informed Mrs. Reid that
the secretary of war would send in
structiOnS to San Francisco to forward
the nurses at once on army transports,
on the same conditions as formerly, that
they begin work mmediately for any
sick soldiers on the transports during
the voyage. He also suggested that,
with view to making this service as
useful as possible, it would be desira BILE
to divide them into two attachments
Duensing was accordingly placed in
charge of one party of five and Miss
Fraser in charge of the remaining four
and in accordance with the adjutant
generals directions they are instructed
to report Immediately to Major General
Shafter in San Francisco on their ar
rival next Tuesday morning.
