1. ““The validity of the tax deed remains to be considered. A number of infirmities .therein are alleged. We shall notice 'but two. The first notice of isale was published in the weekly Astorian, June the 6th, and the last on June 27, 1885, The sale was had on Friday, July 3rd. A computation of the time during which this notice was published, by excluding fist day of publication and including .the day of sale, shows the notice to have been published but 27 days. The statute requires the publication to be four weeks successively. This means 28 days.””
