A GENTLEMAN said that the city
owed him for capitation tax which
he has paid twice for six years and
never discovered it until recently.
There are no doubt a great nany
property owners who have paid their
capitation tax twice and not noticed
it being on the bills OF both the
collectors for the Northern aud
Southern Districts. City Council
will refund this money to those
who have paid it twice by making
out bill to the Mayor and City
Council, and forwarding it, with the
proper proof to Clerk of Council.
A little care would have remelied
this matter and made it much easier
for the collectors who are called to
explain the why's and ~htrefores
when property owners complain.

$40, 900 will be- taken in at the box

Stringent laws have made it hard
to hold prize fights in a great many

more smuggling than boxing But
that is what the public pay for aad

pulled off about 1 O'Clock with
a small attendance, not that the
people of Canyon were not in
terested, but each man thought
the other fellow would attend
to it and be did not have time to
bother with it any way. Alas
that the truth compels us to ac-
knowledge this spirit prevails
among the best business men in
town. Men who would not
think of breaking a business en-
gagement where a dollar could
be made or saved will not give
ten minutes OF their time to the
consideration of county or town
business where hundreds of dol
lars is at stake. Of all the men
who signed the call for that
meeting only one was present;
only one commissioner of the
county and only two candidates
for county Office, and one of
them for sheriff, cared enough
about the matter to be present.

on, Mr.. Henson made few re-
