County Clerk Campbell writes to say
that beginning November 1st the old
custom of collecting his filing fee for
recording marriage certificates from the
county auditor was re-established, and
ministers and justices of the peace
need no longer send the recording fee
to the clerk with the marriage certifi-
cate. The new law created some di-
versity of opinion on this point. The
attorney general recently gave it as his
opinion that all fees must be collected
by the county auditor when the license
is issued.
The Echo had a call from w. H.
Scott, of Wenatchee, last Saturday.
Mr.. Scott is in the hide and fur bust
ness at the county seat. He came
here to get in touch with the trappers
who market furs at this place. Little
as one might think of the matter there
is considerable trapping done turnout
the mountains in this part of Chelan
county. Just what the value of the
furs taken each winter are we have no
means of knowing, but are assured that
in value the total amount is consider
able. Mr.. Scott understands the fur
business thoroughly and desires that
anyone having furs at least write him
and get his figures before selling.
