day of February, 1910. Real estate taxes paid in
full at one time between that date and the 18th of
March following will be subject to a discount of

vantage of this discount they may pay at any
time prior to June l, 1910, one-haf of the amount

date as those on real estate, become delinquent in
80 days thereafter and draw interest at 1870 there
from; and Immediately after becoming delinquent

upon which they are levied Notices stating the

Considerable confusion has heretofore arisen
from a lack of proper understanding of the above
facts on the part Of the taxpayers and particular
ly has this been true of those who had been resi-
dents of this state for only short time, as there
are very few, if any, states in the Union which,
have the same revenue laws.

Colvile's second victory in the inter-high school
series of the state has been the means already of
attracting considerable attention to this city.
high school only three years old which step out
and drag in victories with the apparent ease of
school is bound to secure favorable notice through
out the state Superintendent w. o. Cummings
has taken personal charge of the local debating
team this year. The result so far is a winner. If
every citizen of this valley would work as hard in
his respective line to gain public recognition by de-
liverng the goods, as have the debaters, their
assistants and the superintendent, the Colvie
valley would lead them all.
Representative Poindexter of the third congress-
tonal district in this state will enjoy the distinction
of being the only republican in the house of repre-
sentatives who supported the democrats in their
efforts to dscredt and delay the work of the pres
sent administration. Such a course will do him no
good. Mr. Pondexter has right to his opinions,
but he has no right to wear the livery of one party
while giving aid and comfort to another party.
Recreancy to political pledges is political treachery,
and the recreant public servant doesn't travel far
in this country. Mr.. Poindexter will learn the
lesson in due time. e.-P.-I.

our jury system. Both of them state emphatically
that there is something wrong with our present
jury system. Under these circumstances the pub
lie should take immediate steps to fix up this little
matter in manner satisfactory to these gentlemen

Under an opinion given by Attorney General Bell
to the state health commission, an osteopath is
physician, and is eligible to hold office as county,
city or town physician. This is the first time
ruling has been made on this point it has usual
ly been accepted that an osteopath was not eligible
and few have made any attempt to hold such
offices.
