The Pueblo, (Colorado), Chfeftain.
says that it is stated, upon good au-
thority, that the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe Railroad Company have made
arrangements whereby that line will
be extended west of Pueblo 10 miles
I1 is not fully decided whether the
road will be run through Hayden's or
Punch pass. If it should pass
through the latter opening the next
step would be to carry it westward
and make q connection with the Utah
Southern. The fact that the company
recently purchased q road sixty-fiye
miles in length, from Pleasant Hill,
Missouri, to Lawrence, Kansas, seems
TO indicate that it commands money.
TIE law passed by the late Legisla-
ture respecting the assessing of per-
sonal property may not be generally
understood. Ir provides that the
property must be listed in the school
district in which the owner lives, re-
gardless of where the property Is held
March 1sr. Heretofore the owner o.
stock living in q town, district or
county where the rate of taxation was
high. could easily slip his stock into
some new county about the last of
February, and by leaving it there q
few days take them back to his own
corral, aud thereby evade the taxes
thereon, and at the same time ep;ov
all the advantages of . heavily taxed.
and consequently well improved
neighborhoOd. Each man, by the
new law, pays his tax where he lives.
and helps to maiRtain the improve
ments and privileges he enjoys,
and nothing more. II there Is
good school near and he enjoys its
benefits, he must pay to help support
it, and it there is no school his tax is
lessened proportionately.
