TO SELL SCHOOL BONDS.
Proceeds to Be Used in Constructing
New Building.

Vancouver, Wash, July 7-Direc-
tors OF the school district comprising
the city Of Vancouver. have advertised
to sell bonds to the amount of S14 900
for the purpose of raising money with
which to build a new school building
in this city. The plans have been
prepared and accepted. 1t will be To-
Gated just north Of the present high
school, and be thoroughly modern in
all its appointments. The board will
push the erection OF the building as
fast as possible. and it will be ready
for use this fall if possible. The
great increase in the number of pupils
makes the new building a necessity.
This will make four school buildings
in this city. In addition to the new
building the Old schOolhOuses will all
be put in good order for the coming
Term. These improvements are hail
ed with a good deal of satisfaction by
the patrons and pupils.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intlamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is intlamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing. and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL, condition, hearing will be de-
strOyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

TAX SALES ARE HELD VOID.
Stevens County Officials Did Not
Comply With Law.

Colville, July Judge Richardson
has handed down a decision in the
case OF Mrs. Addie Tremblay vs.. the
Washington & Great Northern raj
way which in effect renders the sale
Of many parcels of property by the
county treasurer during the past six
months void.
This action was brought by the
plaintiff to quiet title to lots l and
of block II in the town of Marcus
which she bought at delinquent tax
sale last spring for 1882. The prop
erty is improved and according to tes-
timony is worth about $4,000. 1t seems
tne property was sold by the original
owner, before the tax sale by the
executors of the estate OF F. Barman,
to the railroad company for about
$1,000 The railway people claimed
that at the time they purchased the
property from Barman, they went to
The county treasurer and called for
statement Of all the taxes due, paid
! the taxes and We're assured by the
| treasurer that there We're no further
charges against the property accOrd-
ing to the tax rolls.
| When the property was assessed,
! the name of Barman appeared as own
er. When the county made appllca-
! ZION to the superior court for a judg-
ment the summons reclted that the
! owner of the property was unknown.
/ The court held that since the law re-
quired the owner of the property, as
! shown by the tax rolls. to be served
! with process. that the county in maxi
! ing sale had failed TO comply with that
! section of the constitution OF the state
which provides that no person shall
| be deprived Of life. liberty or proper
! ~ without due process of law.
There are a large number of cases
where property has been sold for
taxes in Stevens county that will be
materially affected by this decision.
The railroad company, at the time it
commenced its action. deposited with
the clerk a tender Of the amount OF
money to the credit Of the plaintiff
which she paid to the county for the
, land in question:

FAZON AT LAST is ARRESTE ED.
Captured in Denver by Deputy From
Seattle.

acknowledgement news from
Denver states that William Fazon'
Jointly indicted by the King county
grand jury last winter, with Horace
&. Dunbar and Mark Huff, on the
charge of conducting swindllng gam
bling games in the RainierGrand no
tel. has been arrested III that city at
he instance of Deputy Sheriff Nelson
of this county, who went to Denver
for that purpose.
FaZOn has been much sought ever
since his Indictment was found, ana
is still wanted, although the lndlct-
ment against Dunbar was recently
Quashed By Judge Bell in the superior
court on the ground that the defend
ant could not be prosecuted under a
statute which had been repealed. Inc
old law making the operation OF a
Swindling gambling game a felony
was held TO be repealed by the new
anti gambling statute enacted by
the last legislature. which makes all
gambling a felony.
AS soCn as the Indictment against
Dunbar was quashed the prosecuting
attorney Immediately drew up an IN
formation charging him with grand
larceny, the specific Offense named
being the alleged sWindling gambling
games. The arrest Of FazOn in pursu
anca Of the old Indictment is doubt
less for the purpose OF using him as
a witness in the new case against
Dunbar The defense, however
claims that FazOn VIII testify for the
accused.
Will H. Morris. attorney for Dun
bar. was seen and asked what effect
FazOn's presence at the trial OF MS
clienl would have on the case. The
attorney for tho defendant replied:
"FazOn Will be a witness for the de
dense. We have intended all along tC
have him mere if Dunbar should eVei
be tried. We have always known hi!
Vhel eab0uts Huff Will be there al
so. Both Huff and FazOn will testi-
fly that Dunbar knew nothing OF any
crooked gambling game in the Rain
ier-Grand hotel. for the reason tina
no such game was ever run in the
rooms conducted by them.
I'VE did not have Fazon come Il

FRUIT CROP PROMISING
Outlook Continues Good in Clarke
County

SShTIy.
Vancouver. July THE fruit cron
looks promising and the prunes es
peclally are excellent. the trees being
loaded to the fullest capacity. 1t is
now believed the crop will be the
equal OF any year in the history of the
county. In 1901 the crop amounted to
250 car loads dried, and it may exceed
that figure this year, on account of in
creased acreage in part The crop of
cherries is fine. as we'll as all kinds of
small fruits. The fruit men are busy
repairing their prune driers and MANY
new ones are being built. The large
prune packing establishments in this
city are being put in order for the
fall rush.
In anticipation of the big crop there
is good feeling generally among the
farmers and others. The prices will
likely be no higher than usual but the
large output will offset the matter.
The reports go to show that a large
| number OF acres OF fruit trees will be
put out this fall Apples are receiv-
ing more attention than any other
fruit in this section at present. the
yield being fine and the prices obtain
| ed at the top notch. as the quality is
said to be first-clasS.
