AK Receiver.

Our committee on the tax receiver e
books has gone over the digest for
1904 as carefully and thoroughly as the
limited time would allow. They find
the same neatly and correctly kept.
This committee has raised the values
of real estate wherever they appeared
to be under valuation, and have noted
the same uron the tax digest for the
guidance of the receiver in his future
work. They are further convinced that
there are many persons within the
county who OUGHT to be tax
payers, but whose names are not found
on the tax books and that much prop.
ertY is at present UNRETURNED They
had neither the time nor the means,
however, during this session to hunt
up and report the same Ia detail
We, therefore, recommend that q
c)mmlttee of two citizens be appoln-
ted by the court, with power 10 call
witnesses and make thorough inves-
tigation into such matters, and. as far
as possible, discover and report all de-
Iinquent taxpayers and unreturned
property, to the end that all property
and persons be compelled to bear a
just proportion of the burdens of taxa
ton. IT this should be done we be-
lieve the tax rate could be materially
reduced. We learn that there has been
an increase Of $462, 617.O 90 In the amount
of property returned In 1904 over what
was returned in 1903, and we believe
this increase was largely due to the eff
forts of the grand Jury of the Novem-
Der term, 1903, in looking, as they quite
thoroughly did, into the matters Just
referred to.

Clever Production of "The Highway

James Keane appeared at his best

wilding at Fishers opera house. The
mart is the piece de resistance Of the
production and was handled by Mr..
Keane with consummate skill. His APP

riage and presence of the gentleman
highwayman," was such as to delight
the audience and every climax was fol-
lowed by applause from the crowded
house.
There is one noticeable thing that
strikes the observer of the Keane COM

not one weak or Intellectual voice in the
cast, and tragic lines lose none OF Their

Herbert Ashton as the designing butler

Great Northern Passenger Service
to BE Improved.
Seattle, May 2-Beginning May 8,
al, Great Northern passenger trains
will stop at all stations passed in day
light between Seattle and Spokane.
This arrangement was determined by
General Passenger Agent f. |. Whit
ney upon his recent visit to the West
ern lines of the road. In company with
s. e. Yerkes, Western Passenger
Agent, he spent several days inspect
ing Washington lines, and Mr.. YerkeS,
on his return Saturday reported the
decision of his chief with regard to
local passenger service.
This action will be of great advan-
tage to the residents of the small towns
along the line between Seattle and Spo-
kane At present the one or the other
of the through passenger trains only
makes occasional stops and as result
the inhabitants of small towns are in
many cases compelled to get i'll and out
of town upon night trains when they
wish to travel. In consequence much
complaint has been made, and after
studying the situation Mr. Whitney de-
cided that the grievance was real
one. and it will be removed after the
present week.
ON account of the additional time
required, slight change Will be nee
esssary in the time of arrival and de-
parture of trains at Seattle.
