LIKE A FAIRY TALE.

The revelations made by the King
county assessment roll for the current year
present . picture of wealth-creation almost
Is fairy-like AZ is to be found in any tale
from the Arabian Nights. The figures for
the city Of Seattle are even more marvel
lous than are those for the county at large.
King county's total of real estate valuation
is given at SIS, Ill, 255. of which the portion
credited to the city of Seattle (the city
proper. not counting even the immediate
suburbs) is $26. s4l .s45.
6eattle's assessment on real estate for the
year 1850 was SIS o7s. $50. This shows an
increase for the year amounting to $40. 263,-
100. or about 63h per cent. The rate at
which real estate 10 valued for purposes of
taxation is about GO per cent OF its true
cash value. On this basis the figures of
the tax roll indicate an increase within the
year of $i7, los. 266 on the actual value of
real estate within the city, but IL must be
remembered that very large proportion
of the most extensive and elegant business
blocks OF the city are in course of erection;
many of them but half completed.
class of improvements should perhaps not
have been valued at all for purposes of
taxation this year, as they are sources of
expenditure and will not return any in
come until completed, and might be re-
garded as at least not more valuable than
the material that has been used in them.
1t is certainly safe and within the mark to
say that within three months not less than
six to eight millions of dollars will be added
TO the valuation placed upon this class of
improvements.
1t is therefore apparent that sum con-
siderably in excess of twenty millions has
actually been added to the value of land
and improvements within the corporate
limits of Seattle within the past year, with
fully proportionate increase in banking
capital and other personal proper
ty. But applying the 60 per cent.
rule to the real estate valuation as
IL appears on the assessment roll gives a
true value Of about forty-four millions for
real estate and Improvements, which, with
population of about 1000, gives in this
line Of property alone more than 81 900 for
each man, woman and child in the city, and
gain of about two-fifths of that amount
for the year.
It will hardly be claimed that there is any
padding" in this connection. 1t Is not a
practice of the American people to magnify
the values upon which they are to pay
taxes. The reverse is too frequently, if not
invariably. the rule. The ngures of the
assessment roll are very hard facts. And
those figures tell story as to the progress
and prosperity OF Seattle which has seldom
been equalled by the reliable statistics of
any city or country. 1t has been magical,
and the prospects for the future are
brighter than they have ever appeared in
the past.

THE Carson Abdeai of several days ago
mentioned the fact that James R. Shaw, Of
this place, would make an excellent cand,-
date for State Treasurer. We agree with
the Appeal. Mr.. Shaw has been County
Commissioner Of Lyon for many years and
has conducted the business Of the county in
as faithful manner as he would that OF his
own. When the State Board of Examiners
cut down Lyon counly's bill for special cleo
ton expenses Mr.. Shaw decided to contest
the matter, and therefore brought suit against
the State to recover the full amount. The
Court decided the case in favor Of Lyon
county We do not know that Mr.. Shaw is
a candidate for Treasurer, but do know that
the party can hunt long while before find
ing more suitable man for the position.

THE campaign Of education is proceeding
quite briskly. All the Free-Trade papers
are now busily engaged in working the worn
out assertion that an American workingman
is twice as efficient as the foreigner to explain
the difference in wages on this side OF the
Atlantic. Thus we are told that Mr.. Carnegie
can well afford to pay his workers big wages,
because they can turn out twice as many
tons of Bessemer steel a day as English
operatives. OF course this is silly twaddle.
The force in Mr.. Carnegie's shops is large
ly composed of foreigners who are chiefly
Englshmen, and it is simply preposterous
for any one to assert that because they are
working in shops over which the American
flag floats they are twice as brisk workers as
they would be if they were in England.
The truth Of the matter is that the English
Free Trade writers have placed this ridicu-
lous argument in the mouths Of their Amer
lean imtators, and the latter, parrot like,
repeat the statement without knowing wheth-
er it is true or false, and we might add
without caring much either.-S r. Chronicle.

SENATOR DoLPH says the advocates Of
Free Trade tell us that trusts and combinn-
tions to control products and prices are fos-
tered by the Tariff. But every one knows
that some OF the most gigantic and oppres-
siye trusts in this country were formed TO
deal in articles Of purely domestic manufac-
ture, the prize es Of which are not affected in
the least by the Tariff; that others are formed
to deal in articles which are imported free;
and that still others are formed TO deal in
article. which are both imported and pro.
duced in this country. The truth is that the
Tarif has nothing whatever to do with the
question Of trusts.

A Successful Concert.

The concert given last evening by Mr..
William Piutti, pianist, and Miss Nora
Large, soprano, attracted considerable
number of the lovers of higher class
music to Bartlett's hall. The room was
filled with select and appreciative
audience. The programme was appar-
emily long, as it contained large num-
ber OF pieces, but as the individual Sc
lections were all of them short, the en-
tertainment came within reasonable
compass of time and contained pleas
ing element of variety. The programme
was as follows:
''Toccata and Fugue" in d minor,
Bach-Tausig; "Polonaise'' in f major,
List; songs-"A Violet" Mozart;
Clark That Sing Beethoven ''Hark
n hapk fne ppns
H." Schumann; "Rigaudon in e
minor" Rameau; "Minuetto in E ma
jor," Bach; ''Bourree in G major"
Bach "Gavotte in B minor" Bach;
"March (from Ruins of Athens)' Bee
thoven; song-"Jours de mon enfance,"
Herold; "Funeral March," Chopin;
"Nocturne in + sharp major" Chopin;
3 Etudes from Opus 10, Chopin ;
"Ballad in G minor" Chopin; songs
"Spring Night" Schumann; "Thou Art
Like Unto Flower" List; 60, We'll
come Fair Woods" Franz; Condo
liera," List; "Waldesrauschen," List; !;
Spanish Rhapsody" List.
Mr.. Piutti's playing is noteworthy for
its force of expression and correctness
of technique. Miss Large possesses a
voice of pleasing clearness, which she
handles with perfect accuracy of tone
and with much appreciation OF the char
acter of the music she renders. Miss
Douglas acted as accompanist. 1t is
the intention of Mr. Piutti and Miss
Large to give several concerts in the
neighboring towns in Southern Cali
fOrnia
