The state board OF equalization will soon
finish its work in the adjustment and equal
ization of the taxable property among the
several counties of the state. The labor
involved in this work has been SLOW and
tedions on account of the great amount of
statistical matter. The table below gives
the total amount of assessable railroad
property in the state apportioned among
the different counties. This includes road
way. roadbed. rails, rolling stock, station
bindings, round houses, lands, etc. The
amonnt would be much largest if the entire
land grant of the Northern Pacific Railroad
company were included. AS yet the gov
eminent has surveyed but e small portion OF
the railroad lands. There are number OF
other tables showing the taxable property
of the state. These are not yet completed
but will be published IS soon as the board
passes upon them. The total amount OF
assessabIe railroad property is S9,4SOo21.
Included in these figures are 5-5''5f acres

after she had ridden around several times
Grasping the handles around surcingle, she
gracefully leaped to the ground. and Wilson,
gently pulling the rope that was attached to
the ring back of her neck, she vaulted back
again. This was repeated until she at last
vaulted without the aid of the rope. The ex-
else was violent, and her cheeks glowed with
a flush of health. giving roseate tint to her
fair complexion that would have put to
blush any painted carmine stage beauty that
ever trod the boards. The horse kept on
the lope, Wilson cracked his whip, the rings
and chins ratified and cracked, the horse puff
fed and painted, and the young lady rose to
her knees and then on both feet. Bear on your
toes!" shouted Wilson. Crack went the
whip. "Walk up and DOWN. "All over the
horse" "Bully for you" "Watch your
toesp' were the quick, short orders that
came in rapid succession between the cracks
of the whip and pants of the horse.
Suddenly slip was made, but not fall,
Wilson quickly pulled the cord, and dang
ling in the air perfectly unconcerned the
lady hung. while the horse cantered uncon-
cernedly on. 1t was the work of moment
to let her easily down into the ring, and as
the horse came around she vaulted on his
back again.
