State Does Not Collect Rents

During past years the state has been
very careless in the collection Of its
rentals, as is shown by the check now
being made of the leases issued by
the state during the period since
Washington was admitted to the union.
During that time a total Of $4,000
tracts OF land have been leased, and
thus far in the work it has been
found that $4,000 is due the
state for back rentals, and before the
work is completed it is thought that
this will run up to at least $780,
900. The appropriation of $4,000
voted by the last Legislature for the
checking Of the land Office was vetoed
by Gov. Lister. and Commissioner
Savidge is having the work done by
his regular Office force.

COST OF COLLECTING
CHILEAN COUNTY TAXES
Over Half Million Dollars Went Into
TreaSurer's Office Last Year-COSt
of Collection $1.32 per Hundred

That from the taxpayers point OF
view an improvement has been made
in the state in the running OF the
county treasurer's Office in the various
counties is the showing made by fig
ures which have been compiled by
the state bureau OF inspection, which
show that in 1910 in Is of the coun-
ties OF the state it cost more one dol.
lar for the collection of each 800 in
taxes, while in 1911 there were %
counties and in 1912 only II in which
the cost exceeded the one dollar mark.
In 1912 the best showing was made
in Lewis county where it took only SO
cents to collect each one hundred dol
lars, while in Ferry county where the
cost was greatest it required S2.19.
In King county there were collected
in 1912 $o,700,000 while in Ska
mania county only $4,000 was col
lected. There were nine counties
where the taxes collected exceeded
one million dollars, and with the ex-
ception OF Wahkiakum county none
went below 100000
In Chelan county the taxes col
lected in 1912 amounted to $540,773.
The cost OF treasurer's Office in 1910 in
this county was $5,301 which means
that the taxes were collected at cost
Of $1.32 per hundred in that year. In
1911 the cost Of the Office was $4,375
and the cost of collecting each 500
in taxes was IS cents, while in 1912

Judge Gives Mayor a Jail Sentence

Judge VIM, Galloway Of McMinville,
Oregon recently sentenced Mayor w.
T. Vinton. OF McMinville, to pay a
fine of $500 and to be imprisoned six
months in the county Jail, withou,
bail, or until such time as he should
see fit to obey order of the court. He
was placed in Jail by Sheriff Hender-
son, of Yamhill county.
Mayor Vinton's life in Jail, however,
was short, for he was released after ex-
periencing three hours Of cell life, to
appear in habeas corpus proceedings
at Salem.
This is the climax in the long,
fought suits, which first originated in
the form Of an injunction suit insti-
tuted by private citizen of McMin-
vile, enjoining the mayor and re-
corder signing the contract entered into
by the city with a paving company.
Immediately following the setting
aside OF the temporary injunction man
damus procedure was instituted by
the State OF Oregon, ex. REL, A. c.
Chandler versus William T. Vinton.

G. N. IMPROVEMENTS
NEAR CASCADE TUNNEL
One Thousand Men Employed in Con-
structing Snow Sheds and Making
Other improvements

1t costs $401, 900 a mile to build
timbered snow sheds in the Cascade
mountains, and the Great Northern
Railway is expanding $l,2o3,0oo err
Getting three miles OF sheds over Sec
tons OF its track most open to ava
lanches. The cost OF $401, 900 mile
includes timber and labor involved.
The expense Of building one mile Of
concrete snow shed is 1902, 900, and
the Great Northern has several miles
Of that permanent shedding in the
hills.
One thousand men are employed
along the line Of the Great Northern
building sheds and tunnels and max
ing other repairs through the Cascade
mountains, all working under con-
tractors.
The scenes of activity start a half
mile east of Scenic. Horseshoe tun-
mel, Alvin and Windy Point are re-
ceiving chief attention. At the point
the 1900 foot tunnel, that straightens
out the line and protects its roadbed
from heavy slides frequently encoun-
tered during the winter, is progressing
rapidly, though the rock work is heavy.
Practically all timber purchased for
the $1,2o3,OOO snow shed improve
ments under way was procured from
Everett saw mills. Fifty per cent Of
all food supplies used by the army Of
/ 1000 workmen is also drawn from this
market, while all workmen are paid off

Washington a Real Wonder

While talking and writing about the
many things in the beautiful and pros
porous commonwealth Of Washington
just remember:
Our wheat crop in 1912 was worth
Sal, 900, 900; other grains 81, 000,-
600, hay and forage $20,0o0,O00,
fruit $40, 100000; dairy and poultry
output SO, 100000, and that the ag-
gregste value of our farm products was
1882, 100000.
The total value of our lumber, shin
gle and wood manufactures was $685.
100000.
The value of our agricultural and in
dustrial output for 1912 was $422, l25,-
900.
We manufactured $21, 100000 worth
OF -four in this state last year.
Our foreign commerce increased
from $50, 780.989 in 1911 to $114,-
71o.7o7 in 1912. Our exports in
creased IN that period from $4o 1884,
OILS to $68,o55,083.
We have an actual property valua-
ton OF $2,353,725,512, or a per cap
tia wealth of about $4,000.
Our factories output in 1912 was
worth approximately $300,000,000.
Washington farms were valued at
about $3.50, 100000 by the census Of
1910, and of course they are worth
much more than that now.
Remember, too, that Washington
population was only 1916 in 1880,
only $3.50 in 1900 and that it had
jumped to 1,141,990 in 1910.
Seattle alone now has a population
more than three times as great as the
population of the whole state in 1880,
and more than half as large as the
whole population Of the state in 1900,
Washington, as state, is real
wonder; and we are still in our swad-
ding clothes. Seattle Sun.
