considered 20 be so farfetched as to be
quite ridiculous. you might as well
say" said King that my name is con-

OUR TAX BURDEN.
Rate Of Taxation In Olympia Compared With
Elsewhere.

Rate Of Taxation In Olympia Compared With
Elsewhere.
We hear it often remarked that the
rate Of taxation "a mills on the dollar
valuation in Olympia is high, but no
greater than in Seattle; which is not
true, as the rate there is 31.10 mills in
the old limits, and 1910 in the new
boundaries. The writer has talked
with several prominent business men
in that city and learned that the As.
sessed valuation on the average is
about forty per cent. Of the actual
value, which is substantiated by one
OF Seattle's dailies, while in our city it
averages all the way from two.thirds
to full valuation. In San Francisco
the rate is nine mills per dollar valua-
ton.
A gentleman living in Olympia.
stated that he knew of an instance in
British Columbia, where Q farmer
owned eight hundred acres OF land
with improvements and two hundred
head OF stock. His annual tax thereon
is . little less than thirteen dollars.
Sometimes, We are confronted with q
" knock out" argument, if you don't
like this country, you can get out of
it. The highwayman who forcibly
rifles the pockets Of his victim may
just a. consistently say the same
thing. This is . good country with
great resources and possibilities; we
like TO live here and all should try to
improve conditions, that every we'll
disposed citizen may prosper and not
be exploited BYRoN MILLErr.--

case of Mary Hurley vs.. Joseph b..
Durand and wife in favor OF the plain
till. 1t seems that Durand claimed
title under bill of sale by J. N. Gale,
deceased, who bought the tract from
an Indian. After Durand had occu.
pied the land for some years he then
moved to Skagit county. 1t was after
wards occupied by Dennis Hurley and
wife and in 1895 they purchased it
from the State. The former owner
claimed that the Hurleys occupied the
tract as tenants, and therefore had no
right to acquire title to the property.
The land in controversy was held at
the time of purchase at 5000. 1t lie
now capable of earning ten per cent.

Stood in the Foreground Of the Past.
The old Pacific House, corner OF
Main and Third streets, built in the
early SOS, by Col. VIM. Cock, and
maintained as hotel many years BY
himself and his interesting family, and
later by Rebecca Howard for decade
or more of years, has passed away under
the vandal hand of progress. The
last tenant was Capt. Hambright who
for several years maintained a bar in
a portion of the reception and dining
rooms. The old building was re-
nowned for old-time memories. 1t
was, both under Col. Cock and Mrs.
Howard, the rendezvous OF all the
prominent men who visited the Terri
torial capital. The Colonel was ably
assisted in the entertainment of guests
by his amiable wife and charming
daughters, and Becky" their sue.
cessor, was host and hostess in her.
self. She was portly in form and
genial in demeanor. and always
greeted her guests with . smile OF
welcome and whole.souled endeavor
to promote their happiness. It was
only her color that betrayed her negro
origin, as her features were fine.cut
and her intelligence of q high order.
She was a model hostess in ali respects.
For the past few years the old building
has been tenantless, and on at least
three different times the city has de-
cijed that it should be torn down to
abate q nuisance, but there was some
charm which preserved it from other
than the ravaging hand of Time till
now. 1t was bid in by the county for
taxes short time ago, and a tax-title
is said to have passed to J. H. Norris.
and it is by his direction that it is
being removed.
