.KENNEW|CK NOT
LEFT OFF AUTO MAP
President of Yellowstone Trail
Assn. Pil0ted Through Here
by Pasco Men.

This paper has been taken to task
for quoting E. G. Burlingame to the
effect that the Yellowstone path
finder was met in Walla Walla by
Pasco men who conducted him via
the Snake river route through Pasco
and across Timmerman's ferry near
Richland, thus leaving Kennewick off
the map.
In calling the editors attention to
the error Of last weeks report, Presi-
dent A. j. Elrod, lof the Pasco Cham
Der of Commerce, writes as follows:
"a full and correct report Of the
trip made by the president Of the
Yellowstone Trail association and a
representative of the Automobile
Blue Book from Walla Walla through
Pasco and Kennewick, with a very
complimentary reference to the river
view boulevard from Kennewick to
Richland is published in this weeks
Pasco Express, which you have doubt
less seen. p
monday morning about $3.50 the
secretary Of our Chamber Of Conn
merce received a wire from the Sec
rotary Of the Walla Walla Commercial
club, stating that an auto from Walla
Walla was to bring the gentlemen
from Dayton, via Walla Walla, to
Wallula, asking us to meet them at
Wallula at two o'clock and carry them
to Prosser, where they would be met
by an auto from North Yakima. We
had no time to waste in making prep
arations to accommodate. them. Two
owners of. cars responded to call
for donations; one to bring the men
from Wallula here, and one to carry
them from here to Prosser; the latter
car being donated by George Long
muir, and the men being accompanied
also by J. r. McKeand and myself.
We crossed the river on Gavin's ferry
and went through Kennewick, the
Blue Book man putting into his log
DOCK every O0IAu VI tuS IOOSS vi
every foot Of the road. The visitors
tarried in Pasco just long enough to
step from one car to the other. They
could not travel after dark because
they could not make log after dark) ;
it was four o'clock in the afternoon
when they arrived here, and they in
sisted that we make haste to put
them into Prosser before night. We
encountered the storm Of dust, rain,
hail, thunder and lightning between
Benton City and Prosser, through
which we drove the Ford at the rate
of 20 miles an hour, and reached Pros
ser after it was too dark for the men
to see how to write their notes. They
made maps Of the route, by the way,
with rotations Of every detail, as they
rode along. The foregoing explains
why they did not stop in Pasco OF
.Kennewick. But both Pasco and
Kennewick are on the map, and Meth
er more conspicuously than the
other" j

Editor of Courier-Reporter:
Dear Sir:-I read with interest
your account Of the action taken by
County Assessor Wheaton, in collect
ing some $44.60 as taxes from the
band of gypsies recently encamped
near the city.
Since you see fit to mention my
name in connection Herewith, / de-
sire to explain that the men who
consulted with me relative to their
legal rights in the matter, were adj
vised:
; First, that under section 6, chapter
t81, session laws 1915, as "Heads Of
Families" they were entitled to the
$4,000 exemption therein provided
for. I take the ground that it is i'm
material whether they are living to-
gether by virtue, Of a. common law
marriage or by virtue of statutory
law. IF theyDwere heads Of families
they were entitled to share the bene-
fits Of said section. y sss ila:-E ;1-
II Second, they were further advised:
That If they and their personal prop
erty were in the state Of Oregon on
the first day of July, 1915, they were
exempt from assessment. c,'~nrex
Third, they were also advised that
they were entitled as matter Of law
to insist upon having the property
assessed according TO individual own
ership, instead of having it listed en-
masse to- John Doe, ct al, as was done
| in this case.
When called the assessors atten-
ton to this phase of the question, he
became extremely wroth, and assured
me that he had the opinions Of the at
torney general, county attorney, ct
al, ad infinitum.
He further took the view that as
city attorney, I was very, very dere-
lict in my official duty in advising
the gypsies in any manner whatso-
ever. /, on the other hand, insisted
that as an attorney, was privileged
to advise a client in all matters per-
tanning strictly to county affairs, and
IN which the city was not directly in
terested.
Now, it seems to me that the as
SCISSOR is mistaken as to his legal
right to assess this property, also as
to his method Of listing same.
First, they were entitled to have
the property listed according to the
individual ownership, and then, If the
tax was Immediately due and col
lectable, because the property was
about to be disposed Of, it should have
been collected from the particular In
dividual attempting to dispose Of
same.s
# they were not actually disposing
of said property the tax was not due
or collectable at this time, as is con-
templated by section 9249, Remington
& Ballinger's Code.
Second, If the property was classed
as stock brought into the state or
county for grazing purposes (which
must be doubted), under section 9119
Rem. & Bal. Code, the assessor is con-
fronted with the preceding section
911S. which provides-ethe owner of
personal property moving into this
state from another state between the
first day Of March and the first day
of July shall list the property owned
by him on the first day of March
Of such year in the county in which
lie resides"
The supreme court has held in eff
feet, that property brought into this
state from another state between the
first day Of March and the first day
of July, may be assessed, but this

LITTLE TALKS WITH
WANT AD READERS

q
Have you ever observed. in walk
ing through a city, on the tops of tail
buildings and even on the roofs Of
many houses, high poles With fine
wires strung between them? Ii you
have, do you kiow that there are
wireless stations, official and private
and that these wires are strung there
to catch the electric waves that YES
sells. far out at sea. and other wireless
stations, long distances away, are
sending out?
What a wonderful thing wireless
telegraphy is! How it is revolutioniz-
ing the whole system of electric COM
municationl
These little, thin wires you see
reach up, as IL were, and catch the
fast flying messages that are con-
stantly going through the air and arc
bringing tidings of JOY or sorrow
from one person to another.
Through this system Of wireless
telegraphy many lives are saved at
sea each month and many thousands
Of dollars are saved on important
transactions that need immediate at
tention.
The Want Ads of the newspaper
arc like the wires at a wireless tele-
graph station, for the Wants reach
out and up into the business world
and catch messages of things doing
and opportunities flying by are caught
by the Wants and made capital of by
those enterprising young men and
women, who are wide-awake enough
to make use Of the Want Ads.
Opportunity flies by with great
swiftness and it is only the alert live
ones who capture it at the right mo-
ment.
If you are out for the opportunity
of your life, do not fail to adopt the
Want Ad system of wireless. for.

TO catch the chance of your lifetime

know why he was called by telephone
last night TO go TO ST. Georges bridge
It was shortly after IL o'clock when
the telephone in DR.. Linn's office rang
and the doctor informed that a son OF
Governor Miller had been seriously
injured and that his services were
needed.
Or. Linn's car was not at home at
the time so he told the party calling
that he should engage a car from one
of the garages for his services.
While waiting for the car DR.. Linn
recalled that Or. Meredith l. Samuel
some time ago had been called 10 the
country only to be held up. Accord
ingly Dr. Linn called the residence of
