FOR CONVENIENCE
Way for Taxpayers in Each District to Get Amount of Their Taxes.

Sheriff Burnett, by extra trouble to himself, and ever anxious to serve the public well, has made arrangements so that taxpayers in outside precincts may ascertain the amount of their taxes without making a trip to the sheriff's office. He has prepared a list of the persons who pay taxes in all save the four Corvallis precincts together with the amount of taxes each citizen has to pay, and has placed these lists in a convenient place in each of the precincts of the county.

These lists are to be found at the following places:

Summit, the store of Titus Ranney.

Blodgett, the store of J. A. Wood.

Wren, the store of T. Huff.

Kings Valley, the store of Miller & Alcorn and Frantz Bros store at Hoskins.

Soap Creek, the store of J. A. Carter.

Fairmount, residences of T. B. Williamson, Chester Skeels and Frank Hughson.

Monroe, the store of A. Wilhelm and Sons.

Willamette, the store of Norwood Company and the postoffice at Inavale.

Bellfountain, the store of Nathan Clem, store of D. Perrin & Son, and postoffice at Glenbrook.

Alsea, the store of Wade Malone.

Philomath, store of Hill & Son, store of Judson Weed, store of Moses Brothers and store of F. P. Clark.

These lists as prepared by the sheriff, show the number of taxpayers in each of the precincts outside of Corvallis. They are as follows: In Summit precinct, 41; Blodgett, 58; Wren, 42; Kings Valley, 118; Soap Creek, 91; Fairmount, 128; Monroe, 122; Willamette, 108; Bellfountain, 150; Alsea, 130; Philomath, 182.
