terday afternoon while on his way to
Charleston, returning from Asotin.
Midway between the two cities he
met three wagons loaded with steel
ranges. Knowing that the stoves
were not intended for Asotin dealers,
he stopped the men and after careful
inquiry ascertained that they were
shipped here to st. Louis stove COM
pany after their agents had been over
the country soliciting orders. He told
the leader of the three statesmen that
because of the stoves being brought
into the county to sell they were sub
ject 20 tax and that unless the taxes
were paid the stoves would be confis-
Gated.
After complaining about the laws of
the county and state, J. c. Ellison,
head salesman, recounted hard luck
story, but failed to place a valuation
on the property. When told that I'M
less the law was lived up to the as
SCISSOR would place valuation, he
gave the so per cent value at $3.50. He
was taxed $13.75. The amount was
paid after no little parleying and the
stoves allowed to be distributed.

RAILROAD COMPANY
IS VERY lhslsTENT

After council had finished the rc-
count OF Fifth ward last night. a spc-
cihl meeting Of council was called hy
the mayor before the councIlmen got
out OF the chamber. While the call
was being written and signed Chief
Fleming summoned Levi B. Harr to
appear before the council as council
wanted to consider the proposition OF
the franchise objected to by the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company.
Mr.. Hafr stated that he had been
in Baltimore all day last Thursday and
had gone over the franchise with Mr..
Preston. the railroad company's ordi-
nance man. Preston founed six things
in the franchise that he insisted should
be changed before it would be accept.
ed. The things that Preston held out
for are, that the council shall make
tfss railroad company deed for the
pump station property; that IL be
required To build and maintain an un-
dergrade CROSSING only at the pump
station property: that the time to COM
mence the road should be extended
from six months TO twelve months and
the time to finish tho road be extended
from "a months to SO months: that
the provisions concerning private wharf
be expected from the franchise; that
the words passenger and freight traf-
fic be eliminated from the franchise
and that the clause referring to the
CONVEYANCE Of the property of the
Wholesale District Improvement Com
pany be stricken from the franchise.
Council conceded Ave of the six
points, but was unwilling to change
the clause concerning the undergrade
and oyergrade crossings at the pump
station. With council making the con-
cessions that Il did last night. there is
very l.ttie between council and the
railroad company TO squabble over.
The crossing that council insists shall
be built in addition to tine undergrade
crossing and which the railroad in
slsts that 1t win not build win cost
about TWENTY-FIVE hundred dollars. ac-
cording TO the statements Of those who
are most familiar with the situation.
Nh, Harr says that the railroad COM
pany will not accept the franchise un-
less the other concession be granted.
