GENERAL NEWS NOTES, The Spanish cruiser Vizcaya has gone to Havana from New York. The government has let contracts for 300,000 tons of coal to be delivered at Fortress Monroe and Florida points for the use of naval vessels. It id expected that the battleships Kentucky and Kearaarge will be launched this month at Newport News, and the Illinois a month or two later. The work of construction of the Fair haven can factory is being pushed. About forty men are at work and more will be employed as fast as the work progresses. It is reported that on account of the wave of prosperity which has struck Kansas the corn-cob pipe factories have had to close down. The farmers throughout the state are smoking good cigars. On February 28, Bromwell, of Ohio, introduced a resolution in the house appropriating $20,000,000 for the pur chase of war vessels whenever in the judgment of the secretary of the navy it shall become expedient for the best interests of the country so to do. A Washington City dispatch, dated February 28, says, Secretary Alger is seriously contemplating the abandon ment of the Klondike relief expedition. If he becosttes satisfied that private ex peditious going in will remove the dangers of starvation he will stop the government's project. The Echo de Paris, one of the great French papers, expresses the hope that European statesmen will be fouud to intervene with a view of maintenance of peace between the United States and Spain. Continuing, the paper says it regards the dissolution of the Spanish Cortes as an encouraging symptom. Within the past ten days there has been turned into two Chicago banks on LaSalle street about $0,000,000 for Joseph Leiter's account. Thid is con firmation of the sale of wheat. Within forty-eight hours ocean tonnage has been taken at a very low rate for 4,000, --000 bushels to leading English ports.

Assistant Attorney General Vance Gives An Opinion Regarding Them The assistant attorney general has is sued the following letter on personal property taxes. Hon. Neal Cheetham, state auditor, Olympia, Wash.,—Dear Sir: Your favor of the 11th inst., enclosing Mr. Whittlesey'a letter of inquiry, duly reached me. Mr. Whittlesey's inquiries are as follows: »I.—What kind of notice is it essen tial for the county treasurer to give un der section 71—personal notice, or no tice by letter, or notice by publication, or all three kinds mentioned, where possible? We have 10,000 personal property taxpayers to serve in this county. Personal notice is ofter im possible, always the most expensive. "2—What is meant by the qualifying phrase in said section 71: 'Unless se cured by real estate ?' Does it mean that, if a personal taxpayer owns real estate, the county treasurer cannot ex ercise the power of distraint? And does it then become necessary for the county treasurer to charge the tax on personal property against real property, under section 93 of said revenue act ? In this connection it might be well to state that the county treasurer is unable, from the tax rolls, to ascertain what real property, if any, belongs to any in dividual: that he cannot find out the state of the record, unless he shall em ploy competent experts to search the books of the auditor's office, or gain his information from abstractors of real property titles. Would a distraint for personal property taxes not be good, if the owner thereof also owned real es tate? "3—Do personal property taxes for 1897, under said section 71, become de linquent on thirty days' notice, or when? "4—Under said section 71 interest and costs are commanded to be collect ed. Please inform me when such in terest begins, and at what rate per an num the county treasurer is to collect it?" Replying thereto, I beg to say: First—That in my opinion notice by letter should be given to each iudivid ual tax debtor. Second—l am of the opinion that the words "unless secured by real estate," included in the act, mean that where the taxpayer possesses sufficient real estate to serve as security for the per sonal as well as the real estate taxes, the treasurer may not distrain, but his personal taxes should be charged against said real property. I believe, further, that the right to have the per sonal taxes charged against the real property is one to be availed of at the option of the tax debtor, and that after notice of delinquency of personal prop erty taxes, if the tax debtor desires to avoid distraint, he should notify the treasurer that he possesses certain real estate referring to the record against which he desires to have the personal property taxes charged rather than pay them immediately, or have his personal property distrained. The pre sumption in the case of personal prop erty tax I believe ia against the exist ence of real estate security, and unless you are notified as above, your distraint for taxes would follow as of course, and be good. I am further of the opinion that there is considerable discretion vested in the treasurer by a necessary implication in this act, and that if the real property owned by a personal tax debtor is not in the sound opinion of the treasurer sufficient security for both the real and personal taxes, the treasurer should treat it as if it were not such security and distrain for the personal taxes. Third—Personal property taxes for 1897 become delinquent at the expira tion of thirty days' notice, to be given by the treasurer after the first Monday in February of each year. Fourth—lnterest attaches to these personalty taxes immediately upon the expiration of the thirty days' notice; and while the law is silent as to the in terest rate, the delinquency rate pre scribed by the general terms of the rev enue act is 15 per cent per annum. I am therefore of the opinion that delin quent personalty taxes should bear the same rate as delinquent real property taxes, and so advise you. Very respectfully, Thos. M. Vance, Assistant Attorney General. It is, or should be, the highest aim of every merchant to please his custo mers; and that the wide-awake drug firm of Meyers & Eshleman, Sterling, 111., is doing so, is proven by the fol lowing, from Mr. Eshleman: "In my sixteen years' experience in the drug business I have never seen or sold or tried a medicine that gave as good satisfaction as Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy."

Not for a long time has the Sunday school as an institution been handled so absolutely without gloves as in Ed ward Bok's editorial on "The Decay of the % Sunday school" in the March Ladies' Home Journal. Mr. Bok has evidently studied his subject closely, and the results must have been far from satisfactory, judging by the way in which he handles the entire topic. In words which no one can misunder stand, with a sure aim, he pillories the average Sunday school, and declares it to be a rebuke to intelligence and a discredit to the church."

Miss Kate Buckley attended the Valley dance last week Tuesday. Mrs. Wicks will soon start repairing her wharf, which needs repairing very bad. Judge I. J. Lichtenberg went to the Harbor on business the last of the week. Mrs. J. C. Paine, who was visiting in Whatcom and Fairhaven, returned home Tuesday. There is some talk of building a hall on this end of the island. "It's a good thing, push it along." Judging from our present fine days, we are commencing to believe summer has made its appearance. Steamer Buckeye delivered 30,000 shingles to "Gem" farm last week, to be used in building an addition to the present barn. According to telegraph dispatches Mr. C. T. Butler, our popular mer chant, has been appointed postmaster, vice £. A. Taylor, resigned. We are pleased again to note the ar rival of two more families on the isl and. After looking around the islands for a suitable location they finally de cided to settle here. The Buckeye made a special trip with their household goods. The amusements of last week con* sisted of a dime social, given for the benefit of the church, and a dance at Richardson hall. The social was well attended, four couples being noticed from the other end of the island; $4.70 was realized. The dace at Richardson was well attended also. Mr. Ben Idchtenberg is erecting a brooder house on his plant and, when completed, will present a fine appear ance. One 100-egg incubater has al ready been started and in the course of another week a 200-egg machine will be put in operation. Three brooders are daily expected from the east to ac commodate the output from the above mentioned incubaters. We are very sorry to hear that Rev. Mr. Wilkinton has an attack of heart trouble, and on this account his doctor has advised him to give up preaching, so Mr. Wilkinton will soon leave our midst. We again say, we are very, very sorry to lose this gentlemen and his family and sincerely hope that wherever Mr. Wilkinton decides to go he will be benefited.
