In order TO have tho ;reasJfaf's duty in

some Of tho bss; lawyers in Colorado.
One day this week representatives Of
the Santa Fe made an official tender" Of
a New York draft for $4,000 10 County
Treasurer Boerbohn. in consideration Of
which they requested receipt in full for
all taxes due the county BY the railroad
company. The official tender" was re-
spestfully declined. The Santa Fe IS in
deb,ed TO o;aro county for the taxes Of
1901 70 the amount Of $4,000. in round
numbers for state. county. municipal and
school purposes. They offered to pay
s55.oo for receipt in full. and in pro-
portion !; is the best offer that has ye;
been made by tho railroad company in
effeeting settlement with the various
counties in the state.
There are very grave doubts as TO
whether the courts would declare the
Santa Fe assessment for the year 1901
legal for several reasons. In the year
1900 the Santa Fe taxes paid to otero
county amounted in round numbers TO
$50. .Ooc: in the year 1901 they were

THE CONTESTED TAXES OF

COMMISSIONERS HAVE AGREED
TO A REDUCTION.
But Treasurer Bccrbohm Cannot Sec
Any Legal Way TO Accept Less

The treasurer Of Otero county is be-
tween the devil and the deep sea as re-
CARDS effeetinE a settlement with the COR
porations for taxes due. According to
the assessment roll The corporations are
indebted 20 the county for 1901 taxes in
the sum Of about 100000. and at the
present moment there are about $4,000
worth Of county warrants outstanding.
bearing six per cent interest, something
unusual and unprecedented in the history
Of the county. The treasurer is anxious
to subserve the best interests Of the peo-
pie Of the county. but is in doubt as to
whether he can make compromise with
the corporations that would be legal and
exonerate his bondsnen from all liability.
The county commissioners passed a reso-
luton at the last meeting authorizing and
directing the county treasurer to accept
$4,000 from the Santa Fe in full pay
ment Of all taxes due. except state taxes.
The county commissioners, however. have
no power to authorize and direct" the
county treasurer to do anything, not in
strict accordance with the law In case
Of an adverse suit at law in regard to the
matter the county treasurer andhis bonds
men. and not the county commissioners,
would be solely responsible and liable for
the amount Of taxes abated. There is no
law on the statute books Of this or any
other state that gives the county commits

stinct to his own. His fault lies in
his nature, that is, he is ohdurste,
obstinate, hard to convince, but
amenable to reason, and knows the
difference between right and wrong.
II he was more plisble, he'd be
good tool for the use Of others, but
his own convictions carry him every
time without relying on those OF
others. Another great fault with
him is that he does not know for his
own personal benefit when to 60

stays by his own class OF people who
do not even know when and how to
appreciate him and his qualities.
He is his own worst enemy, for he

is content to remain 10 stdtu quo.
And another fault, he does not know
when to flop, but remains paakiki.
But l think that he is one that the
people need never be sfraid of, for /
believe that he knows sufficiently
when to temper mercy with justice,
and when to treat justice with
equity. And still another fault, be

can be reasoned with. He has been
dubbed haole hater because OF his
jealousy Of the rights OF his people,

Mauna LOa Is
In Eruption.

Mokuaweoweo, the volcano on the
side of Mauna Loa broke out yester.
day afternoon and is now in a state
Of lively eruption. The British ship
Ormsary, which arrived this morn
ing from Newcastle, brought the
first news of the occurrence. She
passed within sixty miles OF the
mountain and had a clear view of
it. In the afternoon great clouds
OF smoke arose from the summit and
at night a stream of fire was being
sent up high into the air 1t was the
opinion of some on the coal ship
that a considerable part OF the GRAFT
or on the west side was blown out.
Upon receipt of this news Richard
a Trent sent wireless telegram to
Manager Bidgood OF the Volcano
house on Hawaii for information.
The manager wired back that the
story brought by Captain Costh
was correct Nauna Loa had broken
out as stated and there was bril-
liant glare from the FIRE all night,
which must have been plainly seen
in every part Of the island.
The first message from Mr. Bid
good was as follows:
"Outbreak at Mauns Loa genuine.
Big reflection seen all night"
At 1870 this afternoon Mr. Trent
received the following message from
LIS Aungst, manager Of the Kona.
Ksu Telephone Company:
summit crater Mokuaweoweo in
eruption. Information from Volcano
house states it is very active"
The news of the eruption created
the greatest interest in the city and
has been leading topic OF comment
all day. Inquiries poured into the
steamship Offices in regard to the
chances OF passage to Hawaii, but
unless special steamer is sent up
there will be no certain boat until
next Tuesday. Mr. Trent stated this
afternoon that he was anxiously
awaiting more details If everything
is favorable special steamer will be
chartered to leave Honolulu late to-
morrow.
