ASSESSING IN TRANSIT.
Assessor Wiley Is Confronted With
Two Problems. Which He Is
Trying to Solve

Deputy Assessor A. c. Girard was
in the city Wednesday. looking after
the collection of personal property
taxes upon a carload of Ford auto
mobiles that lies in the railroad yards
and about the collection of which
there is dispute. The autos were
shipped to the F. & F. Garage by mis-
take and that firm refused to accept
the shipment, and. of course, refuses
to pay the taxes. The assessor Is
obliged under the law to assess all
property he finds in the county on the
first Monday in March. and will hold
the autos until settlement is effected.
which will probably be made by the
factory in Detroit.
While here, Deputy Girard's atten-
tion was called to a case somewhat
similar at the Bay City whaling sta
ton. A large shipment of fertilizer,
said to be worth from $4,000 to $15,.
900, is on the dock awaiting the
steamer Columbia to be taken south,
and the officials of the Whaling COM
pany refused to give the deputy asses
sor any information concerning it.
The property in question will pro-
badly be detained by the sheriff
pending an explanation or settlement.

Star on Monday and he was apparent
ly in the best of spirits and talked
cheerfully Of taking ship from this
port.

LANCHORNE MAY
Be CANDIDATE
Well Known Tacoma LAWYER
Is Mentioned as Possible
Aspirant
FOR SENATORIAL TOCA
Democrats Of Washington
See Good Chance Of Carry
ing State in November

TACOMA, March 6.-With four
Washington democrats already in the
senatorial race and another man from
Tacoma, being mentioned as a posi-.
BILE candidate, Tacoma democrats are
beginning to fear that the second
choice leader in votes at the primar-
les will be the man at the top of the
ticket this fall, instead of the demo
Gratis strongest candidate And with
this fear confronting them, there is
talk Of trying to get the democratic
senatorial field cut down to three
candidates, SO that the second choice
provision of the primary law will be
done away with and the man who re-
ceives the largest vote be the party's
nominee.
The Tacoma man mentioned as a
possible candidate is Maurice A. Lang.
horne, who is we'll known throughout
the state. Ashton Dovell, prominent
Pierce county democrat, says that
unless the democrats succeed in re.
ducing their crop of candidates to less
than four, Mr.. Langhorne would
stand good chance to win the nomi.
nation on second choice votes. The
candidates already out are: George
w. Turner Spokane; Hugh Todd and
Mayor George Cotterill, Seattle, and
Judge Black, Everett.
Turner to "Stand Pat"
According to Mr.. Dovell, who has
just returned from trip to Southwest
Washington, there is surprising
sentiment down there in favor OF
Hugh Todd. Mr.. Turner, it is said, is
likely to cause split in the party
ranks because of old friction said 10
exist against him. Mr.. Dovel says
there are many democrats who view
Mr.. Turner as one of the old stand
pat" democrats, rather than as a
progressive" democrat.
The progressives have in the sena
torial race three men, Congressman
Falconer and Bryan and Ole Hanson
none CT wnom is considered espec
tally strong. However with the large
crop of democrats and the three bull
moosers running, and the possibility
of a weak second choice democrat
| winning his party's nomination, the
prospects are regarded by some oi
the democrats as looking rosy for the
republican. Senator Wesley Jones.

CRAB FISHING
AT WESTPORT
Grabbing is Fast Becoming
An Important Industry
At Seaside Resort
HAZARDOUS OCCUPATION
A Dozen Gasoline Launches
Are Engaged, and Seme-
times Take Chances

WESTPORT, March 4.-Crab fish,
ing is one of the principal industries
of Westport. At present dozen gaso.
line launches are engaged in the busi-
ness. In the winter season most of
the fishing is done in what is known
as the sink, near the jetty. Iron
traps are sunk at intervals and the
catch is hauled aboard. Five hun
dred crabs is considered an average
days work, although if everything is
favorable nine to twelve hundred are
brought in. The price at dock ranges
from so cents to S100 per dozen.
When condition of the bar permits
the fishing is done outside in the
ocean. The largest and the finest
crabs are caught outside and bring
top market price. Crabs are very
fond of clans and fishermen pay as
high as $1.00 for an eight-pound box.
Crabs will not feed when an east
wind is blowing and the boats do not
go out at that time. Crab fishermen
are very skillful in handling their
boats on account of the rough
weather they sometimes encounter.
In fact, crab fishing occasionally is a
very hazardous occupation and the
life savers keep a very close lookout
for any indications of trouble and are
prompt in sending relief when dis
tress signals are noted from the look.

Cost Of County Offices For
1913 Show Slight Increase
Over That of 1912
BUSINESS INCREASED
Total Increase About $1o.-
900. Taxes Collected More
Than Million Dollars

MONTESANO, March 5.-While the
cost of government in Chehalis coun-
ty has been some higher in 1913 than
in 1912-$185,909 as against $175,926-
the percentage of increase in cost
has not been large in comparison to
the increase in business done. More
over, in some of the offices where
the increase of business is plainly
shown there has been a decrease in.
expense instead of an increase.
The total receipts from taxes liz
1913 were $1,O51,314, as against $964.'
IT'S in 1912. The total receipts from
all other sources was $2O5,928 as
against $151,440. This increase OF
money handled might account for an
increase in the expenses of the treas
urers expenses, but as a matter of
fact the office was operated $19S
cheaper than in 1912, or for $10,1
Moreover interest from banks on coun-
ty funds shows an increase of nearly
$500 or $5953 as against $4522.
In the auditors office, also there
is saving in expenses of $2O7, the
total being $S249. The revenues OF
this office amounted to $1O,866, while
in 1912 they were only $9665 plus fill
ing fees of candidates which comes
only once in two years.
The clerks Office shows a little over
$500 increase in fees, but owing to
the new laws, requiring the opening

expenses, this increase does not cover

an increase of about SITS. His dis
bursements were $11,785, as against
$10,477, the increase being largely
accounted for probably by the Tor

| The assessors expenses, though
real estate was assessed in 1912 and
was not assessed in 1913, shows a
small increase, $9649 as against $9441.
This is largely due to the new plans,
of making assessments introduced by
the assessor.
An increase of about $11O0 in the
engineers expenses is easily account
ed for when the amount of road work
done in the two years is considered.
His expenses were $685.. In 1912
about 100000 worth of road work
was done. In 1918 about $175,000
worth was done, and besides what
was done lot more of detail planning
was done for this year.
The superintendent Office cost
s9669 as against $3604 and the earn
ings or fees were $203 to $2O5.
The attorneys office, which has one
more deputy this year, has cost $497T
as against $4,000 last year.
The commissioners have cost the
county s3OS2 to s2e64 in the year
before.
The coroner's cost was $1OO7 to
$106S the year before.
The poor farm got off with an ex-
pense of $3244 as against 1885 year
before, but the increase in the item

the small saving. 1t was $10,874 as
against $S,5SS in 1912
