Delinquent Tax
Lands Near Eureka
Sold by County
Bid in by Representative Of Irrigation
District Bond Holders-TotaI Sum
for Lot. $4O,82l76.

The sale of certain lands in the Glen
Lake Irrigation district at Eureka, for
unpaid taxes, was brought to a con-
clusion last Monday after having been
pending for some little time. The acre
age sold by Lincoln county was 3,644
and fraction acres and the sum bid
for the lot was $4O,82176. Howard c.
Paulsen of Spokane, trustee for the
bondholders of the company, was the
purchaser.
The disposition of this matter has
required careful study and more or
less time, and the legal steps in the
transaction have been taken under the
advice of County Attorney Blackboard.
Following the law in such cases pro-
vided sustained by supreme court de-
cisions and opinions of the attorney
general, the money received for these
lands will be apportioned as follows
Lincoln county will receive $4,5556l.
The sum of $l3,49183 will 20 into the
maintenance and general fund Of the
irrigation district and $22,77432 will
go into the bond interest fund, to re-
tire the interest on the districts bonds.
1t is understood that the company
now proposes to sell this land at a
price of SIS per acre, payable SIPS,
per acre over period of 20 years.
This is an unusually low price for ir-
rigated land and should find ready
purchasers. Its sale by the county
means that the land is again back on
the tax rolls and hereafter there will
be that additional revenue for Lincoln
county, from property that had gone
delinquent and from which the county
was receiving no revenue. Its sale and
settlement will also mean more de-
sirable development for the Eureka
district.
The three county commissioners were
present Monday when the sale was

greving nation aloud. How long
Shall heart-tom mothers mourn their stolen sons,
Stolen to de-the little, helpless ones.
And shall no one avenge the cruel wrong?
Shall yet hold our peace while Rachels song
Turns to a wall and every brother shuns
Her eyes, nor looks when life's steep pathway
Past where fair Justice lies IN chain and thong.
Arise! Put Justice on her throne!
Too long she's been defiled the time has come
To end this foul disgrace and help her hold
The scales aloft. They reap what they have sown
Thus only shall we stop the martydom
And crush the fends who kill our babes for gold
