George Sabourin, one of the

He is now familiarly known to
his friends as THE Man in the
Moon" and although he doesn't
hold his head as high above the
rest of humanity as the sure
enough moon-man, George is in
clined to be little puffed over
the new name.
Sabourin, who is proprietor of
the st. Helens Auto Sales COM
pany, landed the agency of the
splendid Moon car this week. And
he feels that his achievement is
something to be proud of.
For the Moon, although one of
the newer cars on the market, has
already proven one of the most
popular. And SO far as beauty of

chassis are concerned, the ma

q. & w. Pays
Tax; Gives
City Jolt

Conjecture as to the possible
intention OF the o. & w. r. & N.
company to extend its terminal
improvements in Tacoma was
aroused Wednesday when Com
missioner Gronen told the coun-
Gil that the railroad had unex-
pectedly paid to the city its 800
tax on a franchise granted in
1909.
This franchise provides for a
viaduct over Pacific avenue, con-
Meeting the abandoned U. p.
right of way through South Ia
coma with the tideflats.
Ever since 1909 the company
has refused to pay its 500 tax
on the franchise, and as result
the franchise automatically be-
came extinct. When the tender
was made Tuesday, the city treas
urer's office accepted the money,
thus reinstating the validity of
the franchise.
1t had been understood that
the company had abandoned all
its plans for use of the 1909
franchise.
If the company intends to use
the franchise, and build the via
duct, 1t will have to pay the tax
for other years, totaling 5000.
City Attorney Harmon was or
dered to investigate the matter,
and demand payment Of the tax.
1T looks to me as though the
railroad has suddenly decided to
use the old franchise comment
ed Gronen. 81 can't see any 9TH
er reason for their paying the tax
now, after refusing to pay it for
seven years."

II. b. Gooch, an oil magnate from
Tulsa, Oklahoma, has leased 80 acres
of oil land from the San Juan Oil
company in the Pennington meadows

company. Arrangements have been
made to commence operations at once.
About six weeks ago, Mr.. Gooch was
in Durango en- route to the company'E

experts to examine the property and
they agreed the showing was one of
the best in the west. According to
Mr.. Gooch's plans he will bore the
present 600-foot well to a depth of
5000 feet. The San Juan Oil COM
pany's derrick, which has been loan

Funeral of Mrs. E. C. Condit.

Funeral of Mrs. +. c. COndit.
E. p. Wilson goes to Silverton to-
night to attend the funeral of Mrs.
E. G. Condit who died in Silverton
early yesterday morning from gun
shot wound, inflicted with suicidal in
tent. Mrs. Condit was a charming
woman who had hosts of friends in
the San Juan basin, the Wilson fam
lily and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Bunker
of Aztec being among those who knew
her best. For years the deceased
had suffered an abscess in the
inner ear, which caused her the most
terrible pain. Her immediate family
realized the terrible suffering had al
most unbalanced her mind. Recent
ly her condition appeared to show i'm
provement, and the mental danger
seemed much less. When she was
in Durango 10 days ago she was in
quite good health and the best of
spirits. A sudden return of the old
pain is supposed to be the cause of
her rash act. Her husband, DR.. f. C.
Condit and her brother, Mr.. Neid-
hauser of Rawlins, Wyoming, had
planned a days outing at the mines
in the Eureka vicinity, in which the
Condits are interested. Mrs. Condit
prepared their lunch and they started
on their way. When they reached
their destination they received a
message that all was not well with
Mrs. Condit and they hastened home,
to find her at the point of death with
gun shot wound just below her
herat. She was hastened to the hos
pital where the end came about IA
hours later. Indications were she
took poinson before she fired the fa-
tai shot. In addition to her husband.
the deceased is survived by four
children, two daughters 16, and IS
years of age, and two sons, seven
and 10 years of age. Arrangements
have been made to hold the funeral
IN Silverton tomorrow. 1t will be
conducted by Rev. Courtice of the Du-

pected that Mr. and Mrs. Bunker of
