State and County Attorneys
To Confer on r. r. Tax Case

Attorney General John H. Dunbar,
peared as attorney for all of the tWen-
ty-nine counties involved in the rail-
road tax litigation, announces that he
has called a meeting of the various
prosecuting attorneys interested with
him in the cases. The meeting will be
held in the County-City building at
Seattle on Saturday, August 20, 1882.
At the meeting the effect of Judge
Webster's recent decision will be con-
sidered and an effort made to settle
shall be taken, or whether the decision
shall be acquiesced in by the counties.
Dunbar pointed out that while Judge
Webster in his decision did not sustain
the valuations fixed by the state Off
Gals, he did find against the railroads
on their claim of discrimination on
account of ratios, and that this fea-
ture alone involved more than half of
the sixteen million dollars which the
railroads claim to be entitled to re-
cover from the counties in all of the
suits brought to date. Dunbar says
that he has been notified that on Au
gust goth at Spokane, Judge Webster
will pass upon incidental matters in
connection with his decision, such as
fixing the compensation of the special
master, allowance of COSTS ETC., and
that he will then enter the final decree
in accordance with his decision. Dun
bar states that the counties will be
allowed three months in which to APP
peal after the date of the entry of
the final decree

PIONEER STORY

The following narrative, published
upon request, won for Mrs. G.. T. Sla-
vens of Hanford the dollar prize Of
fered over radio station KHQ in Spo-
kane, for the best story of early days:
My father had an uncle (John Nor
ris by name) who lived in Indiana in
the pioneer days. His possessions con-
sisted of wife and seven children, a
team of horses, wagon, and COW.
With this outfit, he started for the
tall timber and, arriving at the desired
place, began at once to cut down trees
to build his cabin and stable for his
horses. That task accomplished, he be-
gan to raise corn and other food
In those days the corn was taken
to the mill to be ground into meal
for family use. In order to reach the
mill, creek had to be crossed. On
the last trip the father took on his
horse to the mill, the creek was quite
swollen, and horse and rider were
drowned. So from that time on, the
family had harder struggle than
ever.
There was one boy, William by name,
who seemed to have been born tired.
Anyway, he hated to work. One cold
moonlight night the mother told this
boy to go to the wood pile and cut
back log for the fireplace. When he
arrived at the wood pile he saw band
of Indians going along headed for the
west. The mother died shortly after
that; she never knew what became of
her boy.
About fifty years after that 1--WE were
then living in Iowa. when we heard a
knock on our door, my father opened
the door and recognized the long lost
William at once While shaking hands
with him, my father said: well, Will
Ham, have you the back log cut yet?"
William said that he had been with
the Indians in Idaho all those years
and that he expected to remain with
them as long as he lived.

he had managed to get the horse out
of the shafts and all the other straps
and things off the horse. he realized
he never had known how many parts
there were to one horses harness.
Taking the reins into the barn, he
passed them around post at corner
of the stall. Then. by walking away
with them-a good deal as you might

into shelter without taking chance of

Julian Street has been qualifying

discovered New York. True, Mr.
Street has been man of Manhattan
for years past, but this was another
city. 1t was the New York of the
dawn age. Because of an early oper-

before that he was to make the trip,

Don't be silly" he responded.
"What would taxi be doing out at
that hour"
II think there will be taxis," said
Mrs. Street, "but, of course one could
always charter a milk wagon"
Emerging from his door few mo-
ments before six, Mr.. Street found
New York he did not know. The air
smelled crisp and clean, free of gaso-
line fumes. The voice of the city was
still. But there was taxi.
Mr.. Street now believes the taxi
was driven by man training for the
motor races on the indianapolis speed
way. The streets apparently were
empty and the driver took full advan-
tage of the fact. Mr.. Street main
tains that through the window he saw
what appeared to be one of those mo-
vies, where they speed up the film, of
a deserted village. He thinks they
passed other taxis; it was just like
two limited trains passing in opposite
directions, If the engines had cut loose
from the cars and were going ri
along without them. He saw some g.,
