BIG ATTENDANCE
AT EXPOSITION
Especial to Silver State News)

SEATTLE, August THE last day
of July brought the attendance of the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition to
nearly two million for the first two
months. Trans continental travel with
the exposition as the objective point
will probably reach its height about the
end of August, although everything
points toward a heavy travel until late
in the autumn.
With the exposition at mid-season,
Seattle now presents gala appearance
and the city and surrounding resorts
visitors The steamer service was
largely increased in expectation of the
exposition season, and vessels plying on
Alaskan, inter-island, British Columbia
and local scenic routes have been taxed
to accommodate the demands. Alaska
has been a great attraction for Seattle
northern voyage.
The completed condition with which
the exposition was presented, enabled
the management to open with finish
ed production, and since that time.
many additional attractions have been
added. From the first of August until
continuous succession of special spec
tacular attractions has been arranged.
State, foreign, city, civic and national
special days are named for each day
until the close. and the international
live stock show opening September 27
provides for the greatest gathering of
west.
The exposition has grown in public
popularity with the increase of visit
ors; its unusual beauty of eonstruc-
tion and scenic grandeur was early
recognized, and the added beauties of
the past two months have made it the
most notable among all worlds beau
tiful fairs. In the floral decorative
features, there is wealth of constant
lY hlossoming flowers and at no place in
the world do many magnificent speci-
mems attain the perfection they do in
the Puget Sound climate.
On the day of opening, the entire
space of formal and sunken gardens
was mass of brilliancy, and as these
varieties mature they are replaced
with others just at the blooming
period. At present the exposition
flower, the cactus dahlia, is approach.
Ing the full perfection of bloom, and
the appearance of this magnificent
flower in all conceivable hues and by
hundreds of thousands of specimens
presents an extravagent array of color
and form.

TAX COLLECTIONS
PROSPERITY index
Nearly Five Thousand Dollars Has
Been Collected by Treasurer
Smith in the First Three
Months of the Year.

BY far the biggest and best tax col
lection ever recorded for this county
for corresponding space of time. is
just reported by Treasurer J. Carter
Smith. Out of a total of $46S 1872, 026,
this being the amount received for the
months of January, February and
March, only $6,047.40 was turned back
as rebates.
This total is greater than the total
for the next best year by large mar
gin and is taken as an indication of
the prosperous condition in which the
taxpayers of the country are now in.
The amount of delinquent taxes is
not large compared with the total and
is merely a matter of time until they
will be paid. The sum of 1851, 453 re-
mains to be collected and a large part
of this is in half payments, many tax
paWers having taken advantage of
the law which enables them to pay
half their taxes by the first Monday
in April and then have until the first
Monday in October to pay the balance.
1t is expected that at least 500 people
will pay half between now and Octo-
Der.
While no estimates as to the per-
centage of the amount to be collected
which is delinquent has been made by
the employees of the treasurer'S Of
flee. it is believed that it will be much
less than half the original sum.

COMMISSIONERS ASK
FOR STANDARD SHEET
Miscellaneous Forms Cost Taxpayers
of WalIa WaIIa County Nearly
Two Hundred Dollars
Every Month.

Ratifying the action of the commit
tee appointed by the bar association
pursuant to this subject, the board OF
county commissioners, which is in ses-
sion today, this morning sustained the
motion that a uniform quit claim, real
estate mortgage and warranty deed
shee be inaugurated.
The fact that lawyers and convey
ancers of this city do not use uniform
blanks in drawing deeds is responsible
for added cost to the taxpayers and
seeing this, Auditor j. N. McCaw made
an effort to secure the general adoption
of the standard sheet.
At a meeting Of the Walla Walla
County Bar association held several
days ago, this matter was brought, be-
fore them and a committee, with At
terney E. J. Smith as chairman, was
appointed to investigate the subject.
Realizing the value of the suggestion
of Auditor McCaW, the committee Sc
lected a blank form for quit claim,
real estate mortgages and warranty
deeds and the auditor was instructed
by the commissioners to procure sup
ply OF blanks, TO pc sofa TO all convey
ancers in the city at cost.
The additional cost to the taxpay.
ers, which amounts to about $3.50 per
month"; is occasioned by the fact that
all instruments not drawn upon the or
binary forms must be copied in full
upon the records, while if the same
blanks were used by ALL only small
part of the instrument would have to
be copied in the records, thereby saw
ing the extra expense of man and
