an examination of them, made
out check on the Sergeant at

of the books. His Endorsement
of the check, written on the back

This check is in full payment
for thirty volumes of Blanks en-

worth a damn, and are dear at
that. but the clever manner in
which the gentlemanly agent

OUT OF THE ORDINARY
Is HaQenbeCk Wallace Shows.

Something out of the ordi-
nary" is a remark that can pro-
perry be made of the Carl Hagen
beck q Great Wallace Shows
Combined. which will exhibit at
Jasper, Friday, Sept. 4.
1t has a reputation for produc-
ing remarkable surprises in its
circus arena until the public has
learned that it can attend an ex-
hibition of the Hagenbeck &
Wallace Circus expecting to see
something new and different.
There is an unusual number of
features with the Wallace Show
this season. 1t is different to
pick the best. Some will like the
trained wild beasts exhibition or
Horse wonders Others will pre-
fer Les Rowlands, Borsini Troupe
the Sylvester Sisters, the three
Correllis, the Demo Troupe.
while some will spend most of
the time laughing at the host of
clowns, listening to Merrick's
famous band, enjoying the races
admiring the animals or petting
the beautiful horses. No mat
ter which way one looks While
under any one of the Hagenbeck
& Wallace tents, heis sure TO see
something out of the ordinary.

CERTAIN RAILWAYS
FAVORED BY ASSESSOR
Northern Pacific. Having More
Voters, Is Assessed Low.
Several BIunders Are Noted, Which
Are Expensive to County Large
Land Holders Favored at Expense
OF Small Holders No Poultry

We notice that in assessing railroad
right Of way for land and grade the
Milwaukee road is assessed at Sl492
per mile, while the Spokane, Portland "
Seattle Railroad (Which il graded the
same as the Milwaukee road) is assessed
at only $111G1 per mile for - miles, or
total Of only $1G75. II properly as
sessed they would have to pay tax on
$22 $3.50 in place Of $1G75. This last
named road is being constructed by the
Northern Pacific road, which may be the
reason for the low assessment made by
that astute old political warhorse, Mr..
Duff who il again candidate for the office
Of county assessor. The Northern Pa
cific company has quite bunch OF
voters in Whitman county while the
other company is not yet so fortunate.
Different next year perhaps.
Strange Depreciation.
Many of the large landowners who
have sufficient land to make it an object
to visit the county assessor get a very
low assessment; Tor instance, one man
who was assessed by True in 1906 at
$3.50 for farm land is assessed at
$9525 for 1908. Another assessed at
$3SG5 by True is assessed for 5000
Strange that this land should depreciate
so much in two years in the same local.
ties. The small land owner is not so
generously favored by the assessor. Is
it because Of the influence or political
pull that the big land owner can lend
Mr., y, If? The small taxpayer pays the
difference.
BIunders Are Expensive.
We have in our possession descriptions

The Colfax gazette. [volume] (Colfax, Wash.) 1893-1932, 1908-10-23

1t should be noted that very little i'm
prOvements have been made on the court
house and grounds for number OF years,
and that our commissioners have found
it necessary to make q considerable out
lay for this special purpose. The entire
heating plant has been rebuilt and made
practically new throughout 1t should
also be remembered that the primary
election cost the county between three
and four thousand dollars. During the
last several months there has been
county hospital fee Of $3.50 per month,
which liz very much in excess of what
would ordinarily be expected; but con-
tagOus diseases threatening an epidemic
must be met in the best possible way,
and the county commissioners have been
compelled to provide for additional ex.
ppnse to meet the emergency.
The road and bridge work of the
county has become quite a factor, and
our county hoard confidently believes
that it is unwise to expend money for
temporary structures in the way OF
bridges, which will simply be source Of
expense to keep in repair; 80 during the
last year four fine steel bridges have
been built at cost OF abont $4,000
each. Much other permanent work has
been done along these same lines and
the commissioners should be compli-
manted for their business-lke way of
doing things.
If any money has been unwisely spent,
or misapprOpriated, the Spokesman-Re-
view correspondent might have some
reason for writing his alarming" arti-
Gle, but when it is shown that our county
is simply growing in wealth and pOpula-
ton, and that our needs are growing
greater each year, it is quite a different
thing.

rom tax rolls This property was
assessed by Mr. True, Duff's predecessor.
We have descriptions of other property,
state property, that should not have
been assessed but Duff has got it on his
roll and the county commissioners will
have to cancel the assessment. The state
tax on this property is charged to the
county. These blunders are expensive
to the taxpayers, and to elect Duff to
succeed himself means to continue this
blundering expense. The remedy il to
vote for +. N English, the republican
candidate, who il we'll fitted for the
duties OF assessor.
Northern Section Favored.
Land in the north end Of the county
has advanced in value oD account of two
new railroads through that part Of the
county. The Spokane & Inland is al
ready completed and operating trains,
while the Milwaukee road is being com
pleted at a rapid rate. We congratulate
our northern neighbors on this era of
increasing values and believe they should
bear their rightful burden of taxes
County Assessor Duff does not share
with Us, however. in this opinion, as he
land in that favored section. The land
up north sells for as much per acre and
grows as many bushels per acre as the
land in southern Whitman county. Why
should northern values be reduced at the
expense OF the southern taxpayer!
Poultry Not Assessed
In 1906, under NJ. {. True's admins
tratiOn as assessor, whitman county
had $40, ,462 invested in poultry and
taxes were paid on that valuation, ag-
gregating $343 76. Assessor Duff the
present incumbent. and who seems to
think he has a life cinch on the Job Of
county assessor, refused to regard pOul-
try as an asset and refused to assess
poultry. The state board of equaliza
ton has insisted that poultry be taxed
and has charged Whitman county with
