SOLVENT CREDITS.

Solvent credits must be assessed
separately, and their value must not
be Incorporated with the value of
other personal property, but the as
sessment be carried separately into
the column of value of personal
property.
Where deductions for "debts due
bona fide residents of the Territory"
is claimed, the amount of such debts
may be stated in the aggregate. The
difference between the sum total of
the credits and the aggregate debt is
the amount to he assessed.
Care should be taken, when assess
ing unsecured solvent credits, to bear
in mind that it is the intention of the
law to assess all unsecured credits due
and owing to the party assessed by
all non residents as we'll as residents
of this Territory; but in making de-
auctions from the aggregate amount
Of such credits, allowance must be
made only for such unsecured debts
as the assessed party owes to bona
fide residents OF the Territory.
The only deductions allowable on
account of such debts Of the party,
are debts which are not secured by
mortgage, trust deed or other lien on
real or personal property due by him
to bona fide residents of this Terri.
tory, aud such deductions can only be
taken against that special class Of
property and not against real or other
personal property.
VII.
Assessors must not assess the prop
er.y of any person in "gross," but
after demanding and receiving from
each person to be assessed specific
statement, setting forth in detail, and
in accordance with the assessment
lists, the quantity, number or kind of
each class of property assessed, the
Assessor will then fix the proper
values at which the several properties
are to be assessed, according to his
own Judgment, governed by the re-
quirements Of the Revised Statutes.
II the person being assessed makes
any statement of the value of the
property, or any portion thereof,
whether under oath or not, the As
SCISSOR should consider the same, but
will not be bound thereby, but must
assess such property at its "full cash
value"
Assessors must not accept returns
or statements from agents for persons,
when the persons themselves can be
found in the county.

by stories that the mines were sailed.
Whether Cresus himself originated
the stories or not, am unable to say.
He would also borrow money from
the people he conquered, and then he |
would forget the amount, which made
it impossible to return any. His |
creditors we're too bashful to remind
him of the state Of his account, and
these sums naturally went to swell his
balance at the First National Bank.
Cresus engaged in these enter.
prises for revenue only.
A gentleman named Scion seriously
offended Cresus once. This gentle
mans other name is not given, but we
will call him Scion Ehrenbreitsteiu
for short. This man had acquired
uble.jolnted reputation for his
smart remarks at debating societies
and political banquets, and it was con-
sidered the proper caper to invite HIM
to things of this kind. Scion presumed
on his popularity to say things which
no one else would have dared to say.
One afternoon, having been invited
to take tea with Cresus and to meet
the phenomenal catcher Just secured
for the Lydian Blue Stockings at a
cost of $4,000, Scion thought he
would shoot one of his smart quips at
his royal host just to show the base
ball prodigy how solid he was nth
crowned heads.
Cr9sus was accustomed to have
planked shad early in the season, and
the first strawberries brought to town
always found their way to his table.
Scion thought he would exhibit his
smartness and at the same time re-
buke Cresus for these extravagances,
and show him the vanity of attempt
ing to extract happiness from early
strawberries and planked shad.
So Scion told Crnsus that no man
should be called happy until he was
dead.
CrGsus paid no attention to this
remark at the time, other than tc
order Solon's immediate execution
and SO expedite his bliss; but subse
queutly it appeared to raukle in hi
bosom with a very high rank, for one
day, when Cresus was being roasted
to death, he remarked several times
in shrill staccato voice, 80, Solon!'
1t is said that Cyrus "a gentleman
also extensively engaged in the mon
arch business), who was superinten
ding the bastlng, heard him make thi
remark, and was so affected thereb,
that he put the fires out, ba,het
Cr9sus' burns with goose oil ant
presented him with a SIG suit o
clothes.
This may be doubted, however.
think myself that Cyrus released hin
on the plea of an insurance agen,
who had policy of $4,000 OF
Cresus' life, and who offered Cyru
81, 900 to postpone the roasting, as
burning to death would in all proba
bility prove fatal, and cause prema
ture ripening of the policy.
You may think 1t strange tina
Cyrus should be so ungentlemanly a
to try brother king in so unconven
tional a manner, but l understand
that he had promised to make it no
for Crnsus, and of course his roya
word could not be broken.
He Accordingly resolved to bur-
him to death in cold blood, but re
Tented as above related.

COUNTY ASSESSORS.
Their Duties as Defined BY the Terri
tOrial Controller - How Property
Must be Assessed Etc.

Their Duties as Defined BY the Terri.
tOrial Controller - How Property
Must be Assessed Etc.
The Territorial Controller has Just
issued a circular of which the follow
ing is the substance:
The design Of the law in the mat
ter of assessing and collecting the
public revenue, is to carry into effect
its requirements, that all property
(not exempU SHALL BE TAXED IN PRO-
PORTION TO ITS VALUE; and the
central idea in an assessment should
be that the Assessor" list shall show,
with all possible exactitude, EVERY
PARTICLE OF PROPERTY in the COUNTY
WHICH IS LIABLE FOR TAXATION.
In this Territory are divided into
two classes, improved, patented and
unpatented lands, and the improve
ments DO separately assessed. The
law relative to the manner of return
ing lands for taxation is one thing,
and the value at which you as an
officer receive them is another.
l especially call your attention to
the value at which they should be re-
turned, by the taxpayer, Revised
Statutes, Sec. 1926. aud that is,-"at
its full cash value" Our lands are
worth great deal more than they are
being returned for taxation, and you
cannot be too careful in the discharge
of the duties imposed upon you in
receiving their returns.
NOTES, ACCOUNTS, BONDS, MERCHAN-
Disc.
From a careful examination OF the
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1888-04-05

reports on file in this Office, it is
evident to me that such property is
not returned as it should be, and as
an officer whose duty it is to see that
all property is returned, l instruct
you to give this your careful atten-
ton, and in order that you may do so,
I request that you read carefully
Chapter w. page 205, Revised Stat
utes, and post yourself thoroughly on
the laws governing the return Of this
and all other classes of property, in
order that you may explain to the tax
payer his duties in the matter of re-
turning this class of personal property.
All notes, accounts, and other evi-
dences Of debt are taxable, and like
other property, At their "full cash
value"
desire to invite your attention
especially to the returns Of merchan-
disc. An examination of the re.
turns of this item of property in the
Territory for 1887, discloses the fact
that at least 60 per cent. Of this class
of property is not returned for taxa
ton at all. BE vigilant IN looking
after the returns of this property, and
the result will be a larger increase in
the amount returned.
w.
HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE, JEWELRY
AND vERpIATE
Perhaps no class of property is SC
undervalued by the owners when re
turning it for taxation as that above
mentioned, from the fact, no doubt
that it is regarded as unproductiv,
and therefore should not be valued a
its "full cash value" am quite sur,
that a very large percentage o
watches, jewelry, pianos. organs, etc.
ETC., owned in the Territory are no
returned at anything like their value
This class of property, too, is regard
ed as worth little by the owner there
of when returning it to be taxed, ant
while this is to some extent true, it i
certainly worth more than it has beef
valued at, and should be SO returned

CRESUS, THE WEALTHY.

1t was Il never-failing source of
wonder to the citizens of Lydia how
Crnsus obtained the vast amount Of
collateral which made his name look
so lovely at the bottom of a check.
Possibly you would not think that
a name with cross.eyed diphthong
in its midst could be beautiful under
any circumstances; but just look at it
in this connection, and you will per.
ceive that it is handsomer than d

That sort Of pulchritude can be ap-
preciated by men whose education in
art has been neglected, or even en-
tirely overlooked.
But, as l said before, the people Of
lydia wondered where Crpsus got
his scads.
He was not a plumber, unless he
ran a laboratory under an assumed
name, which was not probable, as his
own was assuming enough.
He was not an ice dealer, nor YET
the engineer of soda fountain, fol-
in his day these businesses had never
been thought of. Neither was he an
alderman, for dealing in railway fran
chises and rights Of way is an industry
Of modern growth.
We cannot, either, cast the respon
sibility of his having accumulated {
surplus upon the fact OF his being /

But still it is certain that Croesu'
did attain great wealth, and he did i

The information we have about hin
is not particularly reliable. as tn
modern method OF writing autobiog
raphies and selling them at $40 TO
two volumes bound in calf was not il
vogue in Crnsus' time.

mines, and some more from his con
quests.

The strcetsof Richmond are generally

dust. dirt, paper, cast of bustles, orange

The fact is, we have a very small

nence to the great thoroughiares, such as

Often the ash-barrels are allowed to

The Health Department is not much,

much as the public, regret to see these
things but find with their present force

EXPOSITION MATTERS.
To he opened October 3rd and for
seven weeks-Rtecfrfc Cars.

The time of opening the Exposition
has been changed from October 10th TO
ono week earlier. 1t will be kept open
for seven weeks (to November 2lst)
should it be found practicable to do So.
Originally it was thought that the
necessary preparations could not be
made to open the Exposition earlier than
the 10th, but they have progressed so
satisfactorily that it is now quite certain
that all things Will be in readiness.
As soon as the specifications for the
main building are complete the contract
will be let.
President Starke is still at work on his
committees. and Secretary Venable,
Treasurer Elicit, and Director Jones are
all busy with the labors pertaining to
their respective departments.
The Electric railway Will have a line
to the grounds, but the plans have not
been perfected. A meeting of their
Board of Directors will be held about
two weeks hence, when the matter will
be considered and the route determined
upon.
1t is expected that the line will go ont
Clay street from Hancock, its present
western terminus, to the Hermitage road,
and thence to the Exposition Grounds.
