Stevens Auditor Makes Good Showing

A comparative statement showing the
earnings, cost OF operation, gain or loss,
and the percentage of the fees used for
operation of the auditor offices through
out the state for the year 1909, prepared
bv the State Bureau of Inspection and
Supervision of Public Offices, makes a
very creditable showing for L. E. Jes-
seph, present auditor of Stevens county,
and Republican candidate for reelection.
This statement shows that of the SO
counties of the state in only IA did the
auditors Office show greater earnings
in fees than it cost for all expenses OF
operating the office. Of these Stevens
county stands fifth in point of greatest
net receipts. The percentage of cost to
receipts in Stevens county is 1913 per
cent. Total receipts of the Stevens
county auditor, exclusive of hunters Ii
censes, are $8,659.sO, and the total cost
of his office was IS, 524.S5, leaving profit
to the county after all salaries and ex-
pense of the office was paid, of 81, 1874 .95.
Not only in this particular, but in
other details of his work has Mr.. Jes-
seph made good in manner that en-
titles him to reelection to the office
that he has so ably handled.

Court at Colville Tuesday. The case

plaintiff and gave his attorneys thirty
days in which to file an amended petit
ton. 1t is understood that the next
opening of the case will be mandamus
proceeding to compel the town council
to make levy to pay the warrants In
question.
The history of the case dates back to
the. spring of 1907. when the town coun-
Gil contracted 99-year lease on the
Carter springs, two miles east of New
port. The lease was executed and filed
tor record and town warrants to cover
the lease price of $1,000 were issued to
Mr.. Carter, who presented them for
payment. The town treasurer stamped
the warrants mot paid for want of
funds"
Before the warrants could be paid Mr..
Carter sold them to Mr.. Craig. Later
the Newport Water company, through
Harry saddler, started suit in the SUI
perior court to enjoin the town from
paying the warrants or taking any fur
Their steps toward acquiring or develop
ing the springs.
The town failed to appear and de-
fend the suit, and now Mr.. Craig, owner
of the warrants, has started suit to COL
lect the amount. Belden & Losey, of
Spokane are representing Mr.. Craig and
City Attorney E. I. Jones and S. W.
