Judge Humphries and the Postal Law

Judge HUMPHREYS has mailed The

The Port Of Grays Harbor.

The Port Commission of Grays
Harbor is preparing to do what is
absolutely necessary if this harbor
is to become the commercial port it
should be, and to reap the increased
commerce its position entities it to

lanai, and will soon have funds avail
able with which to begin the improve
ment of the inner harbor according
to the plans prepared by Engineer
Virgil Bogue.
The depth of water on the entrance
bar is now deeper than at some
points inside, and these places must
be dredged out. The crying necessi-
ty at this time is dockage where wa
ter freights can be economically
transferred to cars for shipment to
the interior, which, it is understood,
will be among the first improve
ments made.
The appearance within a week of

The Park Subject

On an average of once a year, for

public parks for the city, and this

that when the population of the city
becomes so dense as to require parks

Or, if. they do not. the city will be

Those Delinquent Taxes.

The Aberdeen World, in discussing
the delinquent personal property
taxes that have been allowed to run
for five or six years, suggests that
the county commissioners wipe these
back taxes off the books, and open an
'inefficiency' account"
This might be pleasant for those
who are delinquent. but decidedly un-
fair to the big majority who have
paid. In justice to the latter, every
effort should be made to collect those
taxes, and suit brought against the
bonds of the officials responsible for
their non-collection for such as can
not now be collected.
