POLICE ARE LOOKING UP REC

Some Show Left Deceased Animal
When IL Moved From Town and
Officers Have Forgotten Which

City officials are doing some Skirm-
ishing through last years records in
an effort to determine whether the
Norris & Rowe circus owes the muni-
cipality the sum of SIS as the result
of leaving a dead horse near the show
grounds last year when the cipcus left
town, and in case the records prove
such to be the case, it will be up to
II. G.. Gregg, of the local order of Elks,
to make good the amount, in accord
ance with a promise made to the city
council Tuesday night.
Some time last summer one of the
shows that visited Walla Walla lost
valuable horse by death on the show
grounds, and when the concern left
town, the carcass of the animal was
left lying near where the big tent had
been located The sanitary inspector
ordered one of the dray firms to re-
move the carcass, which was done at
cost of 81. The circus management
had deposited with Chief of Pollce
Mike Davis. the sum Of 81, which was
insufficient to liquidate funeral ex-
penses.
When the Elks committee appeared
before the city council Tuesday night
and asked the remittance OF the IL
cense. Councilman Bachtold brought
up the question of the dead horse, ana
the s5 due the city, and was met with
a promise from H. c. Gregg that II
the Norris & Rowe circus had LETT the
animal for the city to care Tor, ne

The city books for the registration
Ct voters in the special election for
the issuing Of bonds for the extern
son Of the sewerage are now open,
but they will close on Thursday. p.
Il is very important that these
bonds be issued. Every voter should
secure his registration ticket and
should do it now. We are afraid that
our people do not appreciate the i'm
portance of this matter. It for any
reason this election should 60 by de-
fault, and the bonds should not be
voted, it means the shutting mp Of
the entire sewerage system Of the
town and possibly damage suits
against the town.
4. We do not understand how the
people who live near the septic tank
have been patient so long. In fact,
the board Of health should have con-
demned this tank long ago. It has
been endured on the promise and ex-
pectation that the system would be
extended, therefore, do not fail to
register and to vote for the bonds. 1t
would be a calamity to the city to
. refuse to do so.

When you 60 to pay your tax TINS
fal, YOU will realize that what we
told you in the campaign OF lsoo Is
true. When the taxable property OF
this county was about five million
dollars the tax levy was two and a
half mills. This year the taxable
property is more than seven millions
and the tax levy for county purposes
is five and half mills, q little more
than double. Of course you do not
object to a little matter like that
Il would be easy to show you that a
little appropriation would be very
small matter to you but when you
get a lot of those little matters to,
gether you realize at tax paying time
what they amount to. The county
and state tax this year is thirteen
and three quarter mills.

For many years | held firmly to
the opinion that [ could not run a
paper on cash basis. Cash in ad-
vance I mean. I had great conf
dence in the honesty of my fellow
men. | believed they would pay Tor
the paper and I credited almost any
body who wanted the paper sent. In
the annual meetings Of the Press AS
sociation when other publishers
would talk Of the advantages Of the
cash in advance system [ still held tc
the opinion that it might do for some
people but as for me [ could not
adopt any such system. | still was
confding and believed that some time
those who had subscribed for the
paper would pay. I am afraid my
confidence was misplaced.

As tax values increase the tax levy
goes on up. With an increase IN the
state Of one hundred million IN tax
able values the tax levy is one mill
HIGHER. We believe if the taxable
property was doubled that the legls-
lature would find a place to make
appropriations so that the levy would
be more than doubled.

When the government adopted the
rule not to receive papers that were
not paid for I found that to comply
with the ruling I had to take about
six hundred names from my mailing
list. l offered these to wait for what
they owed me if they would come
along and get on the cash basis and
they could pay the old score when 1t
was convenient. I found after a
few months that instead Of doing
that those who had been credited
the longest not only did not pay
what they owed but subscribed for
another paper. [ then decided that
T would run the paper on the cash
in advance system or l would let
some one else have the job and as a
result I found it necessary to take
off about six hundred more. This
was done within twelve months. We
still have about fourteen hundred on
the list and they are paying for the
paper. The twelve hundred we took
off within the year still owe US an
average of about ten dollars each.
You can make the calculation Of the
amount we have lost by the credit
system. Those to whom we have been
the kindest and most lenient as a
rule are the ones that show no sort
Of appreciation. We are not finding
fault or grumbling but we are frank
to admit that we have not that con-
fding spirit which once possessed us.

Promises To Be Good.

Last evening the house was
packed to the doors with people
from town and country who gath
cred to hear the Midland Jubilee
Singers. The company appeared
here under the auspices of the
local Lyceum Club and carried the
house off its feet with their songs
of the south and other numbers.
w. A. Ham, the manager and
bass soloist, is musician of y
very high order and was the life
of the entertainment. Miss Field
soprano soloist, has a sweet mel
odious voice of wonderful range,
and the hearers forget all about
race and color while listening to
her. The program consisted
chiefly of southern melodies, plan
tation songs and camp meeting
songs. The company consists Of
ladies and gentlemen of refinement
and Manager Ham deserves great
credit on presenting so fine set
of southern singers.-Sherwood,

Klein Gets A Bouquet.

You ought to have a telephone
in your house or place of business,
if you have not already one. Mr..
Kline, owner of the local exchange
told US that he was contem plating
installing power system of oper-
ating doing away with the opera
tors ringing to get the party want
ed, thus assuring quicker service.
He would also lengthen the Office
hours to l6 hours of continuous
service on week days with a IA
hour service on Sundays and other
holidays. This would give the
patrons of the local exchange as
good telephone service as could
possibly be obtained. To warrant
his going to all this extra expense
to improve the local telephone
system Mr.. Klein thinks he ought
to have a few more patrons, which
he no doubt is entitled to. Con-
sidering the comparatively low cost
of having a phone in your house
and also the great value Of which
it may be to you, you make a mis-
take in delaying the installing of
one. By ordering one today
you'll help improve the whole sys-
tem.-Gazette.
