Town Lots and Improvements Sold at '
Auction Because Owners Don’t j
pay the Taxes.
I
('ily Attorney Charles Ganty sold
the property of the property owners
of Valdez who were delinquent in the
payment of taxes and who had been
advertised to eome across with the
needed silver or have their property
sold.
Before making the sale the attor
ney announced that any purchaser
who paid more than the price of the
taxes stood a good chance to lose the
excess, as the law provides that the
owners might redeem at any time
within two years. The city was forced
to purchase a number of lots because
no one wanted to >ake the chance.
Albert White purchased the Y. M. C.
A. lot opposite the Congregational
church and paid for it, which was j
the total of the tax.

Comforting to the Eyes
EVENING is the most enjoyable
time for reading. The quiet
world allov.s you to see more
clearly the scenes', and to feel more
deeply the emotions, portrayed bv the
author’s words.
It is very essential, however, to have a good light, other
wise the strained eyes tire the senses and rob the evening'
reading of its-keenest pleasure. •
Fdectric light, which can be readily obtained in any inten
sity suitable for the eyes of either young or old, affords the
best reading light, and Edison Mazda Lamps furnish an
abundance of it at minimum cost.
.V
Substitute Mazda Lamps for the oM dirboli lamps in
your lamp sockets and note the difference in the amount a&d
; 4uallty p/the light. •*, : 7 .
