that valuable improvements have
been made right along with this
order of retrenchment. Although
the probabilities are that many
more may be made within the
next year, with the present
amount of taxation, the county
would be able to pull out of debt
besides. But the taxpayers may
desire that their taxes be decreas-
ed and let the Indebtedness now

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

An examination of the sheriff S
county clerks and treasurer's re
cords shows the condition of the
county's affairs to be in good con-
dition as compared with the past
years, and there is every indica-
ton that conditions are improving
in every department. and that
property values are not only in
creasing at every point in the
county, but that the county is
rapidly getting out of debt. AT
the same ratio she has made in
debt-paying within the past year
it is possible within another year
to wipe out the entire amount. If
assessments were kept up ON the
present basis and the number of
and value of public improvements
we're not increasen, there is no
question but that the county would
be on a cash basis within another
year. 1t may be, however, that
the amount of assessments will be
decreased in the future for the
benefit Of the tax payers of the
present generation, on the
ground that at this time our peo-
pie are less able to shoulder all of
the burdens than those in the
future will be.
The tax collections up to date
exceed anything in the history of
the county within same length of
time. II is not necessarily all
chargeble to the increased valua-
ton Of property in the county, as
there are many things this year
in favor of good collections. The
three per cent off for payments by
March 22nd was an incentive
which moved many to pay their
taxes, as it will be remembered
that a hundred thousand dollars
was paid by that date. Then by
reason of the new law passed at
the last sitting of the legislature,
whereby the county was given the
right to sell lands which it had
bid in for taxes, has brought in
the magnificent sum of s34, ,463.09
Without this law this amount
would not have been collected.
AS a result of these collections
the county treasurer's call, made
within one day of the same date
upon which he made a call for
warrants a year ago, enabled him
to call in warrants to the amount
Of $32,923.15 as against $1S,7S6.10
called in a year ago. The in
terest on the last years warrants
called was $3,25737 as against
$2,S.6Sl4 this year, although the
warrants called this year amount
ed to nearly double the amount
called year ago. This shows
that the county indebtedness. is
not only being reduced at a rapid
rate but that, much better, the
interest on the Indebtedness is
being decreased at "a much more
rapid rate.
Under the call made a year
ago the Indebtedness was brought
up to within two years of
a cash basis, and this years
call brings the indebtness up to
within one year, decreasing the
limit more than one half. At
the same ratio another year
would place the county on a cash
basis, considering that no increase
should be made in public ex-
pendltures and that the county
should be run on an equally
economical basis. The officers,
sttae, and it is familarly known

Fruits and
The demand for fruits kept up last week
in very satisfactory manner and in fact a
better trade has seldom been experienced.
Peaches, plums, prunes and pears were
the best sellers, though melons and grapes
are coming in for Considerable attention.
There were peaches on the market from
California, Arkansas, Missouri and Col
orado and the prices being quoted on the
different kinds will be found In another
column. Utah fruit is expected to arrive
this week. and. according to all reports. 1t
will be fine.
There has been no particular change in
vegetables, as prices are about the same.
The receipts of butter and eggs have been
heavy and the quality of the butter has
been poor, while eggs have been unusually
good fol this time of year, owing TO the
cool weather. The. markets have been
rather dull and weak.
Spring chickens were in good supply all
the week and as a result the market eased
on a little. Hens, however, held good and
