Treasurer Hammond of Moscow has
notified those who are subject to the
payment, but it is understood that no
paving taxes are due.
The last day for paying state and
county taxes is December 31st after
which they become delinquent. I'm
der the law passed by the last legisla-
ture the half payment of taxes has
been changed. The tax collector is
authorized to accept half the sum of

Under the new law taxpayer need
not pay interest on the unpaid sec
ond half of taxes but upon the de-
linquency of the full amount of taxes
on the first of the year or of the sec
ond half six months later, the interest
and penalty is II per cent per an
mum. This is reduction from Is
per cent per annum provided under
the old law.
Assessor Vennigerholz has been
meeting with much success in the col
lection of delinquent personal proper
ty taxes. His report will be filed with
the county board Monday and all those
delinquent on personal property taxes
may be proceeded against after that
date.

VALUABLE LESSONS
IN ROAD BUILDING"
NJ. E. LEWIS STUDIED HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENTS ON HIS RECENT
OVERLAND JOURNEY TO COAST
Travelled Nearly 1900 Miles in His
Ford Touring Car-Visited Oregon,
California and Mexico

The rapid progress in highway
building in California was Of great in

turned from a tour Of California in
his passenger Ford, and he pre-
dicted that before many years that the
highways OF the Northwest would be
improved on a par with the Californ-
ia roads which are supreme on the
coast because of the economy in build
ing by the use of crude oils.
MIR. Lewis left Moscow September 22
accompanied by Mrs Lewis and their
son, Carl, making the trip overland
to San Francisco in eight days. In
the journey to California they travers-
ed Washington and thence through
central Oregon reaching California via
klamath Falls. The trip to San Fran
cisco was made over the famous Pa
cific Highway and Mr.. Lewis asserts
it is one of the finest roads in the ma
tion. Good roads were encountered
-or the entire distance aside from
same heavy grades in Oregon and
slight grades on a 50-mile lead near
Redding.
Mr.. Lewis states that a $20,000,00
bond issue is building California
roads, the highways being made III.

feet wide. This is covered by natural
road oil spread by tank wagons and
sprinklers. Crushed rock and sand is
the topping used Mr.. Lewis made the
trip from San Diego to Los Angeles,
a distance of $50 miles, in six hours.
He observed that where the highways
were not completed that evidence Of
the use of the King drag was upper

lated an average of rs miles per gall

"An right, I'll be there in min

door with her hair a-hanging. She
had been dressing to go down town
and said so as she took up the re-

"Oh, no, not to shop" she denied,
laughingly. What did you want.

Thought you might like to walk
down this way and look at CATS" said
Warren.
Warren, you're a dear. I have
been wanting to ever since we came
back, but there never seemed to be
any time.
What time? In about half an

Now I wonder why he didn't want
me to go to the Officer" unused Helen
as she hung up the receiver and went
back to her dressing. That seemed
strange. She wondered If she ought
to make up an excuse and go anyway.
But then after Warren had suggested
going that would hardly be fair. No,
she would meet him at Morrow's just
as he had requested; just the same 1t
was strange.
Since the other evening at Carries,
Warren had been on his best behavior.
He had been more considerate of her
than he had ever been before. Helen
really flattered herself that she had
managed her end of the unpleasant
episode in mastery way. Some
women might have infuriated a man
of Warren's temperament, but she had
held her temper, and in a way she
felt repaid for the effort.
1t clouded up as she was about to
leave. and she hesitated about taking
an umbrella. She finally decided to
take her small one, and after she had
started was glad that she had, for 1t
began to rain in a fine mist almost i'm
mediately. BY the time she reached
Morrow's, the rain was coming down
hard. Warren stood just inside the
glass outer doors and stepped up to
her with a smile.
Have you any idea of where to
go?" inquired Helen.
Sure. I have two places. We

Have you any cats?" said Warren.
Just one cat" said a wizened little
man from behind the counter. And
he disappeared inside for a moment
and then returned with a small blue
kitten, who imme diately upon being
placed on the floor hid under the
darkness of the counter.

Helen in an aside to Warren.
Neither do l. Is that all you have ?"
said Warren aloud to the storekeeper.
This is all we have at present"
I'll tell you where you might find
