ASSESSMENT OF CITY PROP.
RRTY.


WE observe that Mr.. E. r. Clute
the new city assessor and collector
desires the adoption in Salt Lake Of
plan pursued by Mr.. Fell, who
holds similar office in Ogden. II
IS presumed that it is the came that
was spoken of by Mayor Scott on the
night of his Inauguration, when he
stated that he favored the plan OF
assessing by blocks.
There can be no doubt as to the
value OF clearly-defined- system
which will facilitate the important
labOrs Of the assessor and that wilI
show whether his duties have been
performed honestly and justly. 1t
would be OF great worth to him and
the public. 1t would he q protection
to both.
Unless some plainly shaped
method is adopted Mr.. CIute's head
will rest on a thorny pillow. A host
Of eagle eyes viii be directed toward
him, many OF them in the heads Of
leading men Of his own party, to
whom he was not an acceptable cam
didate for the assessorship.
We have made some inquiries re-
garding the Fell system, and ut a
.cursory glance are inclined to en-
dorse the view Of the Mayor and
assessor respecting it. 1t prescribes
assessment on blocks by frontage
and area. The frontage embraces a
defined depth from the street line.
The valuation Of this portion OF
realty is, Of course, rated much
higher than the land ut its rear
Or which is located in the interior
Of the block, inside the inner
-rontage line. Hence corners
viii be rated proportionsteIy |
higher than property having |
iireet front. line. The system
'lso requires, on each block, a gra-
iation of assessment based upon a.
Inference In advantages, such as
me side or corner being nearer the
business centre, etc. The land in
he middle Of the block-within
he inner frontage line il rated rs
rea, ami assessed accordingly.
When blocks are equitably ar
anged after this system, a person
aving ground for complaint that
is property has been assessed pro-
ortionately higher than that OF his {
eighbor can carry with him as
roof, when he appears before the :
'ard of equalization, the plot con 1
lining details and defining relative Z
alues. On the other hand. {

it'll n sharp stick in his :

lestion Of that kind, II the latter g
IS done the right thing by the a
operty holder he can point tri-
to the draft Of the assess !.
emit plan by which he had been Il
yerned. Il
Another argument in favor Of the n
option Of a well defined and :,
operly understood plan Of assess Il

CHICAGO, October 1.-The Evening Journal
says: A Santa Fe official virtually admitted
that his company had, in connection with its
purchase of the Colorado Midland, secured
control of the Rio Grand Western and would
operate the two as one line from Colorado
Springs to Ogden.

understood before leaving Denver that Pres
ident Moffatt had been heard to say he would
parallel the Rio Grande Western with road
of his own all the way from Grand Junction
to Salt Lake and Ogden. But there is an
other scheme on foot, in which think the
Rock Island and Rio Grande are interested
jointly. Some years ago the Union Pacific
surveyed line direct from Denver to Salt
Lake, which is much shorter and less COM
plicated with heavy grades than any other
known route. If these two companies can
get that survey, they will put 1t to good use
by constructing an air line road from Denver
to Salt Lake."

Only Few ContestIng Claims Filed Until
the Last Day; When They Came in
by Hundreds-Great IndIg-

GUTHRIE, o. T., September 2e.-Great
Indignation is felt here at the contest fends
who have taken advantage of the present
unsettled titles to set up claims for lots.
The board of town trustees, who have been
given their power by congress to deed town
lots, has been in session here for a month,
and advertising for parties claiming lots to
put in application for them by the 23d of
this month. The applications for most of
the lots we're duly filed, and only few con-
ficting claims were put in until the last day,
when hundreds of contests were filed. Most
OF these contests were filed by two or three
men. one filing as high as III in one day.
Settlers who have been sleeping on their lots
in undisputed sway, are surprised to learn
that others are claiming them. Some of
these contests involve whole blocks, with
valuable buildings. A strong effort will be
made to have all these contests thrown out
as fraudulent but the indignation of the citi-
zens is rising. as one after another hears that
his lot is contested, and trouble may follow.

A CoIonizing Scheme.

CHICAGO, September 3o.-An enterprise in
solving the colonization and commercial
development of a good sized province has
been maturing under the name of the Amer
ican- Honduras company, with headquarters
at Chicago. 1t will plant colonies, build
roads, dig harbors, erect light houses, lay
marine cables and establish schools, all I'M
der its own supervision and without aid from
any government. The field of its operation
is tract more than twice as large as Rhode
Island, Astounding in valuable wood and dye
stuff and natural plantations of tropical
fruits. The tract lies at the most northerly
point of Honduras and was granted to an
American citizen, E. W. Perry, by the Hon
duran government, with the condition that
the recipients should make improvements
and admit honest and temperate colonists.
The colonists were declared free from duties
on imports and other privileges we're be-
slowed. A party of colonists is being organ
lied in Chicago to leave January 1. Other
parties of the same kind will be formed in
other cities.

White House Decorations.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Seutember 26.-Since
the departure of the Harrison family, the
White house has been filed with workmen.
The appearance of the Blue room has been
entirely changed.
The woodwork, formerly of dingy blue,
has been turned to ivory white, and the
wainscoting and frleze are of blue and gold
design in silk. Panels of blue American
silk are placed upon the side walls between
the wainscotlng and frleze, while the ceiling
Is decorated in colors-to harmonic with the
other appointments. At the windows there
are double blue silk curtains with a back
ground of white lace, while the floor is COW
cred with a pigeon egg blue velvet carpet,
which has been specially woven to order.
The east room, also, has been overhauled
as we'll as wired for electric lights under the
supervision of Engineer Baird, of the navy
department.. Twenty incandescent lights
have been placed upon the big crystal chan
delier in this room, and there is also a single
row of burners beneath the frieze. The
effect of this light Upon the two big chande-
liers, which are composed of 6, 900 pieces OF
glass, and which cost Sc, GOO, is magnificent.
The amount appropriated by congress
for refurnishing, repairing and redecorating
the executive mansion was Sl4, OO0, and three
fourths of this has been spent upon the blue
room. As result the state dining room and
the green parlor, both of which are sadly in
need of OVERLAPPING, having been practically
neglected since Grants administration, will
have TO remain as they are for at least an
other year. -l

The Mexican President sho. At.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, September 30.-Ths
startling information of an attempt upOr
the life of President Diaz, of Mexico, wa,
brought here by prominent railroad official,
who is deemed entirely reliable. He said
that during the national celebration, on the
night of the 18th inst, while an immense
crowd was assembled around the palace, 8
volley was fred at the president, who stood
upon the piazza enjoying the celebration and
music. He made a hasty retreat with his
staff and barely escaped several bullets thai
passed his head.
Forty men are known TO have been con-
cerned in the murderous plot, fifteen OF
whom are now in Jail and the others are fee
ing from the country with the military on
the track.
The news of the dastardly deed has been
suppressed in Mexico by government officers.
The attack is assigned to variety OF
causes, the most important OF which Is thai
the president is strongly suspected OF coquet-
ting of late with the clerical party, which Il
in direct conflict, politically and socially,
with the liberals, to whom Dlaz owes ms
power. Mrs. D:az is a devout Catholic, and

Revolution in Metal.

CLEVELAND, O.. September 3O.-An an
houncement of interest to the metal trade is
made by the Cowles Electric Smelling Alu-
minum company. of this city. Heretofore
the lowest price made to the public on alu-
minum in small lots has been $3.50 per
pound. The Cowles company, who are the
largest manufacturers of aluminium in the
world, sent a circular to the trade cutting
the price to 81 per pound.
Five years ago, when the Cowles aluminium
was first offered for sale, the current price Of
the metal was $50 per pound, and little, if
any, was obtainable even at that figure, and
this without any guarantee of chemical
purity. The first price made on the Cowles
aluminium was S. per pound, as against the
above figure. At 81 per pound aluminium
will become serious competitor with nickle
and tin. AT 80 cents pure aluminium would
become formidable competitor with copper.
