The annual report of the l. O. O. F.. of Arizona, for 1907 shows the order has made special roadway in this territory for the year, and now leads all other territorial fraternal orders in point of membership.
 The gains made for 1907 were more than double those of any previous year, every lodge gaining in membership. Arizona Lodge, No. l, of this city. continues as the banner lodge of Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico, having made a net gain of 54 members for last year. Prescott Lodge No. has built up, in six years. from a membership of 65 to 26O, and is still growing at rate that bids fair to keep it in its position of, the banner lodge Prescott Journal Miner.

DELINQUENT TAXES.

That those of the taxpayers of Coconino County who might be in- terested may he informed as to the industry displayed by the County Treasurer in endeavoring to collect some of the delinquent taxes, due the county. extracts from the laws of the Territory bearing upon the subject is hereby referred to:
 A portion of Section S6 of Act 92 of the Twenty Second Legisla- tive Assembly, approved March 19, 1903, says:
 If, on the first day of January A. D, 1904, any of said lands or town lots contained in said back tax book" remain unr+deemed IT SHALL BE THE DUTY OF THE TAX COLLECTOR to proceed to enforce the payment of the taxes charged against such tract or lot ny suit in the Courts of Competent Jurisdiction of the County wher. the real estate is situated, which tame court shall have jurisdiction without regard to the amount sued for to enforce the lien of the Terri sory." etc., etc.
 Section 97 of the same Act says:
 No action for the recovery oi taxes against real estate shall m commenced. had or maintained. unless action therefor shall be con- menced within five years after de- linquency, excepting taxes now de- linquent, on which suit may be commenced at any time within five years after this chapter shall take effect. but not thereafter" According to the extracts above cited, and the remainder of the said Act 92. it seems very plain to reasonable man that the Tax Collector is doing his simple duty az a public official.
 The five years referred to in the above quotations will expire March 19, 1908, and if suit is not brought prior to that date, all delinquent taxes due and unpaid on March l9.h, 1903, will be forever lost to the County.
