WORD TO THE AUDITORS.
Mr. Eyerson Calls Their Attention t,
Delinquent Taxes.

State Auditor Iverson has sent out
the following to county auditors:
An examination of the lists of rel
estate, forfeited to the state for non
payments of taxes. under the old law,
and also under the 1902 lay, discloses
the fact that a great many people
have been exceedingly careless in
the matter Of taxes for in thousands
of cases one year, and in hundreds OF
cases only q half years taxes are de
liquent, including farms, village and
city property. These omissions may
have occurred four, five or ten years
ago, and the amount may be small
but under the law the tract is for
feited to the slate subject to sale.
The sale will be held about Novem.
Der lst next. In nearly all of such
cases the taxes will be paid or re-
deemed when the personal notice Of
expiration of redemption is served
upon the owner thereof, This will
impose quite an expense upon such
owner.
[ suggest that each county auditor
make special effort to bring all
cases OF this kind within his county
to the personal attention of the
owners or parties Interested. Ask
all the local newspapers in the county
to discuss it and print the names of
owners in their localities. This will
result in preventing thousands of
such cases from going to sale.
Every real estate owner in the state
should examine the forfeited tax lists,
on file in the county auditors office
and also in the state auditors Office,
to see whether or not he has for
gotten to pay any of his taxes in
years gone ny.
I am aware that you are not re-
qnired, under the law, to do this,
but as it is matter involving the
interests OF SO many people in the
several counties of the state, I feel
certain that you will be glad to
render any assistance within your
power.

ELEVATOR AGENTS BEWARE
Must Not Issue Warehouse Slips or
Due Bills For Grain.

ga campaign against alleged frau
dulent practices by irresponsible
agents of country elevators is about
to be made by the state railroad
and warehouse commission under a
law passed by the last Legislature
prohibiting the issuance of slips or
due bills instead of regular ware
house receipts" says the Pioneer
Press of Sunday, August 20. There
has been one or two cases in this
county when the strict enforcement
of this law would have saved trouble
for both agent and company.
"The department has prepared a
circular letter which is being sent to
the proprietor of each elevator in the
state, as we'll as to farmers and bust
ness men generally. 1t calls atten-
ton to the new law, which makes it
misdemeanor punishable by a fine
of no. exceeding 500 or imprison-
ment in the county Jail not exceeding
ninety days for any person connect
ed with an elevator to neglect to
issue a warehouse receipt when
grain is stored.
"Members of the commission say
that the neglect or refusal Of men in
charge of elevators to issue ware.
house receipts stating the amount
and quality of grain stored has
caused endless litigation and ia
several instances the proprietcrs 0
elevators have been defrauded.
Complaints have reached the com
mission ahat some agents in charge
Of elevators, who have not as much
grain as they have reported to their
employers, have encouraged farmers
to store grain in che elevators so as
TO make up the deficiency,
'Due bills or slips, no record of
which is made on the books of the
agents, are given to the farmers,
and the proprietors of the elevators
are made to believe that the grain
belongs to the elevator. When the
matter gets into court the farmer
mas nothing to prove that he owns
the grain except the due bill or slip
which may not tell what kind OF
grain or what quality. Endless liti-
cation has resulted.
"The new law makes it INSIDE
meanor for the farmer to receive a
slip or due bill, as we'll as for the
agent of the elevator to issue them.
"The commission began cam.
paigp 70 prevent the issuance of these
slips a year or two ago, but the
practice was not stamped out. A
rule prohibiting their issuan,e was
promulgated, but to give the COM
mission more authority in the matter
a law was passed by the last leg
islature."

THE PRIVATE SEPTIC TANK.
Used for the Schools and Residences
at Salem, Oregon.

at Salem, oregon.
Some time ago guest at the Mer-
chants Hotel folded Chas. Dushek
ABOUT the private septic tanks in use
at Salem, Oregon, and as Mr. Dushek
is always on the lookout for informa-
ton on the sewer question, he had
Supt. Smyser write to Salem.
James M. Powers, the superinten-
dent, says in his letter.
Answering yeur favor of 14th
INST, will say. We installed the
septic tank system IN the North
school, a year ago, and it has proved
to be success. We are about to
install similar system in the Park
school, this fall. The system is in
use in quite a number of Salem resi-
dences, and / have heard no COM
plants.
"Our North school enrolls 800
pupils. The cost, for placing two
toilets of s stalls each, primaries,
setting tank, end making connec-
tons, was between s and 9 hundred
dollars. Salem, as to location, has
no advantages not possessed by the
majority of towns in the country.
All that is required, is good drainage.
The water which leaves the tank,
is free from impurities. The tank,
which is made of cement, must be
air tight, and the piping must be
substantial, allowing no leakage,
Care must also be taken, in the in
stallation, to make the tank large
enough to hold all the sluce that
may run into it in the course of
day. Mr.. A. L. Fraser, of this city
should be able to give you more
accurate and detailed information.
Frank W. Waters, the mayor, was
also written to and speaks particular
ly Of the tanks for residences. He
says
"The septic tank of generally used
among suburban property owners
It is a new thing here but is rapidly
meeting with favor. The tank is a
success and no complaints have
been made when the tanks are pro-
perly constructed. Nearly everv
new home and many Of the old ones
are being fitted with this tank.
eve have several sewer lines for
the city's use and do not have
large tank for such purpose. We
border the Willamette river and our
big sewers running from the State
institutions pass thru the city into
the river.
''There is no necessity to carry the
water from the private septic tanks
into a sewer. Chemists, and author
tiles on the subject say the water
which overfows and passes out OF
the tank is pure enough for drinking
purposes. The water which ex-
hausts from these tanks is pure and
uncontaminated and is good for the
ground over which it is released,
There is no odor nor any offensive
character of the water after it passes
out of the tank. This seems
peculiar thing but it is true, never
theless. A tank for an ordinary
dwelling of two stories will cost
about $40,
81. P. Veatch of this city is the
most experienced builder and is
we'll qualified to speak upon this
subject"
Mr.. Dushek and others are talking
of putting in these private tanks
unless the city is soon to put in
sewer system.

GOOD ROADS FOR PRINCETON.
Prominent Citizen Offers to Pay for
split-Log Drag.

Says the Princeton Union:-"M.
S. Rutherford, who is an ardent
advocate Of good roads, asks us to
describe the manufacture and opera
ton of what is known as the King
split log drag'and furthermore to say
that he will pay for the construction
of such drag for use by the town
ship of Princeton provided the off
Gals will put it in operation and
thereby demonstrate to the farmers
the extent of it's usefulness. One
8 already being constructed at Mr.
iRutherford's expense for. the town
of Page"
This implement, of which we have
spoken before, but of which too much
can not be said, consists merely of a
split log or square sharp-edged tim
Der drawn by horses attached to it at
the proper point to give it slant of
about forty degrees in the direc
ton the loose earth is to be forced.
The driver stands upon this drag
and drives down one side of the road
and back on the other after a rain
and the drag fills all depressions,
presses the loose earth dowd hard
and smooth and pushes all surplus
earth into the center of the road.
This can also be done by the
modern road grader, tho this ma
chine does not press the road bed
down so we'll as the log and the
cheapness of the latter enables each
farmer to own one and go over the
road between his home and the
next neighbor on the way to town
after each storm.
1t has been found that this way of
keeping roads in repair is much
better than narrowing them down.
This implement is most simple of
construction and can be manufacture
ed as follows Take the two halves
of a split log nine feet long, ten or
twelve inches thick, set on edge
thirty inches apart, both flat sides
to the front, strong oak cross bars
holding them in position; chains or
strong wire attached to the center of
fat slab at the ends to attach the
whipple trees to. Stand on plank
attached to the center of the first
slab. By shifting the position of
the driver and the point Of hitch the
necessary charges of slant i'll the
machine for different kinds of wolk
can be made. If working a clay or
gumbo road put iron, old wagon tire
or something Of the sort on lower
edge of drag at end of six months;
for softer soil at the end of twelve
months.
There are of course few bug
aboos that have to be met wherever
this new i'm plement is introduced.
One of these is capillary attraction.
This force is declared to be the thing
that will draw the water up into the
dragged road and make it soft. The
only answer to this is that 1t Doesn't.
Another popular bugaboo is the
calamity that will surely swallow up
the dragged road when the bottom
falls out in the spring" Again, the
answer is that the bottom does not
fall out Of the read that has been
dragged With split-log because the
dragged road, unlike the other kind.
does not put down a lot of mud into
cold storage with the coming of the
first deep freeze.
Considering the conditions of our
roads, will not some citizen Of Stew.
ems county come forward with an
offer such as Mr.. Ru* herford made
at Princeton.

weekly review OF trade tomorrow will
say:
Commercial conditions seldom change at
midsummer and quiet markets prevail
until there IL n movement at the commod-
ity exchanges in response to crop reports.
The past week has proved no exception
to the general rule. Scasonable merchand-
Use has gone into distribution freely at
retail, duplicate orders for summer lines
are more numerous with jobbers now that
the weather has become settled and trav-
cling statesmen send in substantial con-
tracts to wholesale dry goods houses for
future delivery. Manufacturing plants
arc we'll employed for this time of tho
year. Confidence in the future and the in
creasing promptness of mercantile COL
lections arc the best features of the trade
situation. Railway earnings this far re-
ported for June are 1.96 larger than last
years and foreign commerce at this port
for the last week showed gains of 1852, =
20 in exports and s945,339 in imports as
compared with 1901.
Textile manufacturing conditions are
most satisfactory. Conditions in the wool
en- market have not altered except that q
little more stability attends the steadier
position of raw wool. In the hide mar
Ikct no change has occurred. Failures
this week numbered 2i9 in the United
States against 2a9 last year.
