the additional help which was
used. The present salary list
is s$S68. 39, with no additional help,
andslittle likelihood of additional
help unless it be while Deputy C.
M. Durland is acting as clerk of
the commissioners, or unless some
one is i'll.
In the engineers Office, K. B.
Thomas is still holding the fort
alone, the first instance of the
kind in years. But he still says
that when he needs a deputy he
will get one, but thinks that won't
need to come for a month or two,
when the road business starts.
In the sheriff's office, Sheriff
Woodard has adopted a plan of
making the Office deputies do
all the work on the outside where
it can be done more cheaply than
by hiring an outside deputy. So
far he has named but three out
side deputies, and only one of
them has had anything to do
it being cheaper than to send a
man from the office. In SPRING
dale he has Strengthened out
matters by naming B. H. Taylor
as deputy-a man known for
years throughout the country for
character and ability, and who
does not get excited. Deputies
scattered over the county will be
named from time to time to act
when needed, or to serve papers
when found advisable.
The taxes in every county in
the state of Washington become
due on the first Monday in Feb
ruary. They become delinquent
on June 1, and bear Is per cent
interest thereafter until paid.
Ifone-half of 1912 taxes is paid
by May 81, 1918, the remainder
will run until Nov. 30, 1918, with
out interest, provided the total
amount Of the tax must not be
less than 50; and further provid-
ed that if said last half is not
paid on or before Nov. 80, 1918,
interest on same will be computed
from June l, 1918.
Three per cent rebate will be
allowed on 1912 real estate taxes
if paid in full before March Is,
1913.
Persons desiring to ascertain
the amount of their real estate
taxes must write to the county
treasurer, giving a complete de-
scription of their property, the
same as is contained in their
deeds thereto, upon receipt of
which a statement showing the
amount of taxes due thereon will
Immediately be sent them.
Personal taxes, while falling
due on the same date as those on
real estate, become delinquent
March Is, and draw Is per
cent interest therefrom; and i'm
mediately after becoming delin-
quent are collectable by distraint
and sale of the property upon
which they are levied. Notices
stating the amount of personal
taxes will be mailed to all persons
in whose names they are assessed.

During 1912, under the Taft
brand of unexampled republican
prosperity, business failures were
Is, 5,542, amounting to 5000, Ill.,
392-the highest totals in 10 years
with the exception of 1908, when
the republican panic stepped in
again. (Take notice, you States
man-Index.) These figures are
given by the Development League
press bureau. The year 1911 had
only 2.011 less failures, and $12,-
045. 722 less losses.
If President Wilson is able to
make so great a showing after
he has been in office three or four
years, he will have to 60 some.
And if after 16 years of continu-
GUS democratic control the bust
ness failures keep pace with past
samples of republican achieve
ment, it may be we'll to try some
one else.
The u. S. census shows that in
1910 there were a total of 341, H7
divorced people who had not re-
married. Of this total 156, 176
were men, and 1876, 101 women,
showing that the women are less
hasty to try it again. 1t is also
found that Of all the marriages in
the last ten years, one half of
the contracting parties were men,
and the other half women.
Strange figures these.
Settlers on the odd sections in
township 32-42, about six miles
east of Chewelah have prepared
a petition which will be forward
ed to the department of the in
terror, asking for a speedy hear
ing in the matter of the contest
instituted by the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, which claims
the odd sections under an old
government grant. The settlers
have in most cases lived on the
land for seven years, settling
upon it when it was unsurveyed,
and are anxious to be allowed to
make application for final proof,
which has been denied pending
the settlement of the Northern
Pacific contest. The squatters
affected by the contest are:
George W. Paige, John Hurley,
Truman J. Westurn. William B.
Kirk, Vinton A. Sampson, Arthur
H. Palmer. j. Albert Hodge,
Zillah M. G. Palmer, George W.
Green and Caroline s. Moore.

Fraud is claimed in the recent
Pend Oreille county election for
representative, when Jens Jensen
the progressive was elected. The
Spokane Chronicles account of
the affair says:
1T is claimed that H. Larsen
and George Himmilguard, brother
and brother-in-law of Lewis P.
Larsen, president of the Lead and
Zinc company and business part
ner of Jens Jensen, the successful
candidate for the office of repre-
sentative, had no right to vote in
this election because they have
not received their second papers.
Joe Busta is a prominent business
man of this place, and it is claim
ed that he influenced the other
men to vote. The men were
taken to lone to appear before J.
w. Ferguson, but claiming a
change of venue, they were Or
dered to appear before Justice
Moore of Old Metaline. If this
contest is successful it is likely to
cause Jens Jensen to lose his seat
as representative and to put in his
place Alva Sherlock of Newport,
the democratic candidate for the
office. Besides this the contest
may be taken back to the national
election last November, and if
carried so far may change the
entire list of county officials elect
ed at that time."

showing the location and extent
of their rights of way is recon-
mended, as is also an amendment
regarding the plating of irregu-
lar tracts to provide that the
county commissioners shall order
the county engineer to make a
survey" at the expense of the

Cook of Pierce county to have
assessors 60 into the abstract
business and furnish abstracts at

commissioners was rejected.
The matter of stocking the
ranges of Stevens county with
elk is a question that is now being
discussed by county officials and
sportsmen from various sections
of the county.
County Auditor Sansburn in
investigating this matter has
found that these animals can be
secured from the federal govern
ment, on application to the de-
partment of the interior by the
county auditor. Inasmuch as
there are many thousand of these
animals in the Yellowstone nation
al park, it seems to be the inten-
tion of the department to distrib-
ute a portion of them throughout
various sections where suitable
ranges can be secured. mo charge
is made for the elk save and ex-
cept the cost of loading on cars
at Gardner, Mont, and transpor-
tation to the range. R. J. Town.
send has been appointed by the
commissioners as caretaker, and
when the proper papers arrive
from the department Of the in
terror, will probably 60 to the
national park and see to the Sc
lecting and loading of at least
two cars of these animals for
Stevens county ranges. The Of
ficers and members of the vari-
GUS rod and gun clubs throughout
the county are very enthusiastic
over this matter and pledge them
selves to do all in their power to
assist the county game warden
in placing and protecting these
herds. Jim Hill, who lives at the
foot of Bear mountain, a we'll
known frontiersman, with years
ofexperience in the national park
with these animals, has volunteer
ed to look after a small herd on
his range. Mr.. Hill states that
in order to get the best results
the elk should be divided into
small bands of six or seven cows
with one bull. He further states
that they should be fed a little
hay during the winter, and if this
is done they will never leave the
range where they have been fed.
There is now over $4,000 in the
game fund, which has accrued
from the payment of hunting
licenses, and it seems to be feas-
ible and would be generally satis-
factory if the county commission
ers would spend at least $1,000 for
this purpose.
Six hundred qualified teachers
