The Puget Sound Bureau of Inform
alton ut Seattle is arranging to publish
an Historical Album" of the state, to
be devoted exclusively to brief his
tory, scenic views, industries, city,
town and farm scenes; private resi-
dences and other buildings; views of
mountains, lakes and rivers, etc, with
brief inscriptions and explanatory de-
scrlptive matter. An edition of not
less than 10000 is guaranteed and
copies will be placed in all prominent
public libraies throughout the United
States, in hotels, OH railroad trains and
other public places. The album will
contain approximately 900 views and
every section of the state will be repre-
sented." Views are solicited from
San Juan county aud it is to be hoped
that the county will have some repre-
sentation in the publication. No Sec
tion of the state has greater scenic at
fractions or can furnish lovelier views.
The San Juan Club would do well to
take the matter up and ascertain the
conditions upon which few views and
appropriate descriptive matter would
be inserted. A sample copy showing
size OF page, style of marginal illustra.
trations and fine quality of paper used,
may be seen at this office.

Judge Houser recently rendered q
decision at Mount Vernon that is at.
tracing a good deal of attention
throughout the state, especially among
attorneys and holders of delinquency
tax certificates. The decision is to the
effect that the county attorney cannot
be compelled to prosecute the fore.
closure of tax levies held by private
parties. The case was brought by
Frank Hall to compel the county at.
torney to proceed with the foreclosure
OF a tax certificate. The prosecuting at.
torney demurred to the application
upon the ground that the legislature
had no authority to compel him to
prosecute private actions for private
gain. The court sustained the de.
Inurrer and held that the writ shonld
not issue. The point of law involved
is that the section of the state revenue
law which provides that upon appl,ca.
ton by the holder of tax certificate
me county attorney shall proceed to
foreclose the lien. without cost 10 the
holder. The judges decision would
seem to be based upon common sense
which, theoretically at least, is the
foundation of good law. The new rev.
enue law has undoubtedly been yerv
effective in securing the payment q
taxes and rendering it possible 10 nav

nounces the rural newspapers of the
country the truest reflectOrs of public
opinion, and next to them he ranks
the papers published in cities of 10000

country newspaper not only reflects
