Balance. ................ SlO7, 9OS. al
Total amount of unsettled taxes
for four years to June 80. 1899. .S233, ISL. rs
These figures are taken from the
published proceedings of City Council
and the treasurer's annual statement
OF the fiscal concerns of the city.
There is, unfortunately, no report
published showing the settlements
made with the collectors. The figures
above would indicate that there is
outstanding very large amount of
taxes. The aggregate of 1898, 851. IS is
doubtless subject to errors yet to be
allowed, and to the rebates on July
payments.
If the published reports made to
Council at the time of making the
annual levy can be relied upon, the
taxes are laid exclusively upon real
estate, but it has been said that in
addition to the real estate assessment
the aggregate amount of taxes includes
a portion of the capitation tax, though
this does not appear separately in any
OF the published statements What
becomes of this capitation tax and how
far it affects the results OF the final
settlements with tho collectors is some
what shrouded in mystery, although tho
bulk of it is probably allowed as errors.
The subject is most interesting one
to the tax Payers of Wilmington and If
the discussion inaugurated in Council
should be continued it may result in
much improvement in what would
appear to be q very crude method of
conducting the assessment and tax
accounts of the city.

Tribute to an Old Settler.
W. Editoy and Readers Of the Journal.

Mr.. Editor and Readers Of the Journal:
Another of the pioneers Of Clifton
has passed away, The Hon. Smith X.
Gum of Santa Fee Springs, near Los
Angeles, California, died three weeks
ago-May 10th-and i want to praise
him, for he was, indeed, of the salt of
the earth. Ny neighbor and friend,
the general reader will excuse me for
reverting somewhat lengthily, may
be, TO old times, and peoples, and by
cones; but there is where the heart is
ever turning-to the days and friends
that were.
Mr.. Gum settled on the south
side and / on the north side Of the
Kinnickinnic in Clifton, and there
we first met in 1S50-he in clerkly fix
ups and in striped gear, ready for the
brush. He was beardless and youth
full then, but not timid, and II not
muscular, exceedingly courageous and
full OF that helpful quality that seem
ed to say: Courage, man, III see you
through; we will make us homes right
here; 1t is good place to begin.n
Mr.. Gum had will and conceit,
and general human attributes, but
withal, an instructive capacity for
sensible reforms, and such pushing,
helpful way that it made moonshine
of ordinary besetments; honest in the
highest sense, and generous to fault:
always ready TO divide, you will not
blame me, | am sure, for praiSing
him now that he is gone. He honor
ed God and lived by the Golden Rule,
and was more than ordinarily capable.
There are but few about here now
of the pioneers to mourn when one
drops off. Friendships amongst us of
the first seemed to be umbent, we
were so few.
AS fly over the dead years on the
arrows of memory | see my friend in
his ups and downs, in triumph and
adversity-the army worm and drouth
and midnight horse thief, all the
same; courage and manhood never
failed. / see him in the far back
times, before Pierce county was much
but wilderness, compelling the State
Agricultural Society to award its pre-
MUM flag to it as the best in the
state, though mere sparsely settled
border. / see him STRIPPING in one
of our early legislatures ranking well
amongst veterans, terrorizing Bill
BarstOw, governor, and the forty
thieves" with his vigils and investiga-
tions. As town clerk, and clerk OF
the circuit court for five years his
work was prompt and his hands clean.
1t is now for me, his old-time friend,
in sorrow to offer this inadequate ret
respect and forewell.

until after midnight At first it seemed
only light summer shower, but as the

and gutter there was rushing torrent OF
muddy water At Cranetown large rocks
were carried down the highway almost
blocking the passage A great many
farmers around here had just planted
their corn and now it is nearly all wash
