 Report ef State Examfner Wilkiueou.

| N, c. Allgood, Tax Assessor oi biount county was not found shor' Ss446 by Assistant State Examiner "
 F Wiifinsou. ar stated by The Adver- User of Wednesday morning. The shortage as reported by Examiner Will
 kinson was in the accounts of the Tax
 Collector of Blount county whose
 name was not given by the Examiner
 The report of the Examiner to Gov

 fonnd to be correct

 "ofhce of State Examiner of Public
 Hon. Win. D. Jelks, Governor of Alabama, Montgomery. Alabama: Dear Sir:
 Tn obedience to instructions re- ceived from the Chief Executive once, have examined the books. accounts and vouchers of Hon. M c. Allgood. Tax Assessor fer the conty of Biount. and beg leave to submit the Following report covering the year 1904: The assessment book made by Mir. Allgood for the said year was correct.
 and made up according to law. All footings were properly carried forward
 from page to page and to the general recapitulation.
 T find, however. that the assess l ments of escapes made by the collector had not been made to the auditor. as
 the law requires. These escapes, which
 have been collected by the collector
 and should have been charged against
 him in his final settlement, are as fol- lows:
 General taxes, real estate s24o2: personal property, s7.23. Soldiers taxes. real estate, $9.66;
 personal property. s2.91. School taxes, real estate. $2s93; per-
 sonal property, $11.95.
 Making a total of eighty-four and
 forty-five one -hundredth ($s445) dol lars No abstractSof these escape taxes | has been made
 Respectfully submitted. w. F. Wilkinson, | Assistant Examiner Public Accounts" Sworn to and subscribed before me Mamie offutt, Notary Public" | It will be observed that the report as submitted by Examiner Wilkinson purports to cover the books and ac
 counts of Tax Assessor Allgood. and | not of the Collector. whose name is not
 even mentioned, and in this report cn
 MT. Allgood 1t is stated that the Tax Collector, and not the Tax Assessor. made errors amounting to $s4.45 which
 are charged against him. | Very probably 1t would have been more lucid. if the Examiner of Ac- counts had filed two reports, one on
 the Assessors accounts and another on | the Collectors, IL was quite natural for the Capital reporter Of The Adver-
 tiser to be misled by the mixing of the
 work of the two offlciais in the one l report
 ! The report was given out from the
 Governors office, where the law re-
 quires 1t to be. first filed The con{u- sion was discovered at the State Au-
 ditor's office. to which the report was sent by the Governor It was learned
 there yesterday that the items of ss4.45
 had been charged to the Collector g | account, and that notice had been sent him to that effect

FORMER GRAND JUNCTIoNITE
AFTER RAVEN MINING CO

From the following account from
The Denver Republican, II appears
that Ed ]. Yetter, formerly OF tnis
city and the man who organized tne
Western Elaterite Roofing company
does not propose to permit the Raven
Mining company to grab all the good
claims containing elaterite, IN the
Uintah country.
Hon. John Shafroth, as it appears
has been engaged as counsel Dy MI
Yotter to take his case to the iouh,
tain head of some of the worst lahu
frauds in this washington
ard see what can be done IN the ma.
Ter. Mr.. Shafroth's familiarity with
the department in Washington VIII WI
stand him in good stead to make the
Investigations. 1t, a,or
The following is the article REFER
red to in the matter:
ATTORNEY John Shafroth will leave
for Washington the first of the week
To contest before the commissioner OF
the United States land Office tine
claims of the Raven Mining company
to many of its locations in Northwest
ern Utah.
ATTORNEY Shafroth will represent
tho Yetter elaterite company OF Den
vers which is opposing the whoiesale
grabbing of choice mineral claims
from the government by the Raven
mining company at the time OF the
opening of the Uintah reservation ior
settlement last summer.
"The Raven company, by some IL
legal practice, it is alleged had locat-
ed some of the best mineral terri
torv in the entire reservation when
other companies and syndicates ap-
neared upon the scene to file upon
such lands Immediately after the
opening. 900 o.
The Raven company had 1873 acres
of land leased from the Indians when
the reservation was thrown open to
settlement and its rights to priority
locations on this land they controll-
ed will not be contested by the Yet
ter people. states Mr., Shafroth, but
a large number of the Raven com
pany's claims will be attacked on
the ground that the same locations
were made by the Yetter people at
the earliest possible time that the
land could be filed upon legitimately.
NO charges of collision between
the Raven agents and the government
officials will be made, according to
Mr.. Shafroth, but an Investigation
of the Ravens methods may follow
his visit to Washington.

biSuous remark. and she understood

After that inspiration Lacey felt en-.
couraged and stimulated to do his best
As on the football field, when the game
looked dark, those same eyes had often
in%carnated within him an invincible
strength and courage, SO did they af.
feet him now.
The game looked dark the speakers
so far had developed but little enthusi.
asm and the rally was falling fat.
The second speaker Of the evening
had just sit down to the accompani.
ment of the f%aintest, perfunctory ap-
plause, when Mortified, in a short,
gracious, though somewhat i~nsincere,
speech. introduced James Lacey.
AS Lacey, with the grace OF a nat
ural orator. stepped to the front Of the
platform, the first signs Of any genu.
inc enthusiasm showed itself; for the
former football captain, clear, logical,
witty, 1rterspersed with apt and hui.
morous stories by way Of concrete Il
lu~stration, oratorical, and over and
above all surcharged with a subtle
magnetism, innate Of him, he awoke
the audience from its lethargy. From
one Of dull inattention, he changed the
audience to one of enthusiastic appre-
citation and sympathy. The rally was
q success and Lacey was the cause of
it.
The next day Jim is showered with
kilograms and letters Of congratula-
ton. The papers Of the minority, in
loud and enthusiastic notes, sing his
praises; the papers of the opposition,
though admitting the fallacy Of his
premises, cannot deny a need of
praise to his ability as an orator.
But for all these %felicitous COM
ments he cared but little as compared
with a letter received in the mornings
first mail.
The letter reads thus:

ter and I would be greatly pleased II
you would honor our house by attend
ing dinner on the evening of the 3Oth.
