WHERE AUDITORS DIFFERED.
Newcomb Read the Law One Way aut
GIOyd Another.

According to Auditor .Newcomb's
contention, Benton county owes Yaki-
mn $31.S61.71. which is arrived at by
the following process: The net in
debtedness of Yakima county on June
80. 1905, deducting $4,000 paid for an
additional courthouse site and warrants
issued since June II. Is $162.56O77
The assessed valuation of Yakima
cofnty Is $10.S32.524. OF which amount
$2l24,043 Is now In Benton county
The last amount is 1876 per cent OF the
former, which makes Benton's indebt-
edness the figure given above, S31,-
s6l.7l.
According to Auditor Gloyds figur-
ing. 1t is understood, Benton owes
Yakima considerably less than half
that sum. He contends It Is said. that
taxes that have been levied to meet
current expenses and pay the county
debt should be applied as credit to
Benton county; also the cash in the
treasury belonging to the current ex-
pense and general funds, as wells as
Benton county's proportion OF the
property In the way Of bridges and
county buildings that Yakima county
retains. Auditor Newcomb's figures
do not credit Benton county with any
thing; they are just 500 per cent OF the
assessed valuation of Yakima county
the proportion. as before explained OF
Benton county's valuation. --Prosser

TWO OF STATE RAILROAD
COMMISSIONERS IN YAKIMA
Did Not Meet ms Many People Of Yaki-
ma ms They Desired To-Are
Coming Again.

Two of the three members of the
Washington railroad commission
Chairman Harry S. Fairchild and John
II. McMillen, accompanied by Secretary
of the Commission VIII Lysons. spen,
Tuesday in tne city and departed last
night for walla walla. They ar,
making tour of the state with view
TO meeting shippers and others In all
parts of the state, consulting with
them and finding what is most needed
IN each locality in the way of railroad
legislation or control. Their coming
to Yakima was not sufficiently atlver-
tised. owing to the fact that two of the
officers of the Commercial club, to
whom letters of notification had been
sent. are out of the city. An effort
was made to get out large number
OF business men and shippers at IA
meeting arranged for last evening, but
this was very poorly attended, doubt
less on account Of being poorly adver-
tised
There were less than n half dozen
OF the leading shippers of the valley
present, and but few others. They
wtre addressed however. by Mr. Fair
child and Mr.. McMillen, who declared
that their policy was to do everything
that can be done to overcome exist
ing evils in transportation. while seek
ing to avoid or prevent friction be-
tween the people and the railroad COM
panies. Inc interests of the railroads
and the people are in many particu-
lars identical and the commissioners
believed moral suasion would accom-
plish much that is desired to be
brought about.
The attention of the commissioners
was called to the shortage OF cars for
shipping produce from this section
each fall. and they promised to take
the matter in hand early and try to
prevent repetition this year Of the
deplorable conditions that existed last
fall.
Mr.. Fairchild and Mr.. McMillen an
nounced their intention OF returning
to North Yakima later on, probably
during the state fair. and advertising
their coming extensively, in order that
people from all parts of central and
eastern Washington may meet and
confer with them here. They request
ed that any complaints or communion
tipns be forwarded to them at Spo-
kane, where they will be on Saturday
Of this week.

The Soldiers Home.

The following, from the pen of one
of Kemper's representatives at the
home for ex-Confederate soldiers at
Beavoir, will doubtless prove of in
terest to our readers:
Beauvoir, Miss, Feb. %.
Editor KEMPER HERALD:
You asked me to give you my opin-
ion~of the management and working
of this place.
To begin: Major Kemp and Mrs.
Wallace are doing all that they can
for our comfort. We have plenty of
good, clean and well cooked food,
good beds, plenty of clean clothing,
and, in fact, everything to make a
man satisfied if he is reasonable.
We have a hospital, with two
trained nurses and telephone COM
munication with DR.. Folks at BIZ
loxi. who is very attentive.
There are forty-five inmates.
There are, ON an average, ten in the
hospital; the others can all get about
and fish, and enjoy themselves.
We are planting a large garden
and expect to have plenty of early
vegetables. We have three COWS
which supply almost enough milk.
Well, to close, all we old Confed-
crate vets. here at Beauvoir think
lhat the Sons and Daughters of the
Confederacy are doing a great thing
for us and we are very thankful.
[ had a hard spell of sickness after
I came here, but have improved and
am in better health than when was
at home. / am able to walk about,
and go where / please.
Remember me kindly to all my
friends. Yours respectfully,
j. M. STEWART.

Mrs. Nan Hamel, who has been
visiting in our community for eev-
eral weeks, has returned to her home
near DeKalb.
Miss Lula Hardin, who has been
teaching in the extreme western part
of Kemper, has returned home.
Farmers are getting ready to till

ward, though several have planted;
others are doing repairing, etc., pre-
paratory to planting.
Mrs. VIM. Hudson's condition is
still unimproved. Mrs. Sarah Pool
is in a critical condition, too. Both
of these good women have been con-
fined TO their beds for a long time,
and they seem to grow weaker. In
