The Assessments.

The reassessment returns show odd fes-
lures.
In some Of the richest counties values
are decreased; in others of the poorest
they are increased.
Several sections from which much was
expected Welded little. while sections iroin
which nothing cheering was hoped have
done admirably well.
The general result will be probably On
increasein tho grand totals, and the greater
part Of this viii be from the cities and the
booming" towns Of the Commonwealth
Year by year our urban population ~
bearing more and more Of the burdens oil
taxation. and 10 this extent, at least are
relieving country people. Richmond alone
carries a great big share, and II we continue
TO GROW in the rext ten years rs we nave
in the past three or four, We will be able
70 do still more. SO, it will be seen, every
citizen Of this State has direct interest
in helping to build up Richmond.

Brutality of Indians.


number OF Stony Indians have been in and
around Donald for some time. Before they left
on Monday they threw one of their best horses
down, then piled wood upon it and burned it
alive. It was reported to Sheriff Redgrave
about o'clock on Tuesday morning. The
sheriff and Officer H. Redgrave proceeded to
their camp, about two miles from Donald, and
found the or creature standing up, burned
from shoulders to head, flesh all charred and
skin burned and eyes blind, and in a horrible
suffering state. Other Indians, the Kootenays,
were camping there. and the sheriff insisted
they should shoot the animal, which they did,
the officer finishing its misery by his revolver.
Later the sheriff found out that the cause of
their burning the horse was that one of their
children was very sick, and to make 1t well
they placed the horse in misery. These are the
Indians who are said to be Christians, who
have their own worship, and who attended the
Episcopal church at Donald and conducted
themselves outwsrdly the same as white men,
but who still practice their devilish pagan
torture. No wonder Mr.. Duncan refused to ad.
minister the sacrament to these tribes OF peo-
pie, for he knows, after thirty years sojourn
among them at Metlahstla, that they are not
worthy of il. But Bishop Bidley, after few
years experience with them, and perhaps bet
ter knowledge of their qualities, admits them to
the sacred rite.

ind rather than of heart Power OF mind in
itself no more makes q true woman than does
wealth. beauty of person. or social station. But
clear intellect, well-trained mind, adorns
q woman. just as an ivy will adorn splendid
oak; true woman has q power, something
peculiarly her own. in her moral influence,
which. when duly developed, makes her queen
over wide realm Of spirit But this she can
possess only as her powers are cultivated. Gull
tiyated women WELD the scepter OF authority
over the world at large. wherever cultivated
woman dwells, be sure that there you will find
refinement, moral power and life in its highest
form. For woman to be cultivated she must
begin early; the days of girlhood are transitory
and fast-feeting, and girls are women before
we know 1t, in these rapid times. Every girl
has certain station to occupy in this life, some
one place to 6ii, aud often she makes her own
station by her capacity to create and fill 1t. The
beginning influences the end.

The very first step toward the develop
ment of the water system, for which at
last the money is provided, should be the
selection of an engineer. We have an en-
gineer. it is true, but he has signally failed
to commend himself to the confidence of
our people. This is said, not in spite nor
for any personal or private reason. 1t is
said regretfully and only because it is
fact. Mr.. Williams's engagement was made
without notifying or advising with the pub
lie and under system Che is paid per-
centage upon expenditures) which violates
the fiscal practices of the city as well as the
rules of sound business. A large part of
his work has been upon a vast scheme ten
years ahead OF the necessities and resources
of the city, and he has urged this scheme
with unbecoming persistence against the
best judgment of our people.
When, finally. the big job with its blan-
ket debt attachment was given up, Mr..
Williams assumed to fall in with the modi-
fed plan-and the results we have seen.
The new pumping machinery at Lake
Washington, bought under his supervision
and set up under his planning. turns out
to be something very different from what
was necessary. BY practical experts of
known reliability it is declared to be too
limited in capacity and OF an obsolete pat
terra mere makeshift, and poor make
shift at that. Furthermore, it has been
set up in manner so unscientific and
faulty that it will not do the work of which
normally it is capable. Mr. Williams
claims that he is not responsible for all
this. But why did he permit it2 Surely,
if he were man of the right spirit he
would not remain nominally in charge of
work actually being carried on in viola
ton of his wishes, and in violation of the
principles of engineering science. Surely
he would not, as an honorable man, draw
pay for service he was not renderingl
Mr.. Williams may be competent en-
gineer; but he has not shown it in his
work at Seattle, and it Is, we believe, the
universal wish of our people that he should
step down and out.

Nothing is more common than an an.
nouncement of this, that or another inven-
ton, or process, or improvement on exist
ing methods that sis destined to reyolu.
tionize" this, that or another business
trade or occupation. Keely with his motor
and multitude who have discovered new
mining processes" will at once suggest
themselves.
But there is q German chemist in Chi
cago. Professor G. NJ. Hirsch, who an.
nounces with great positiveness that he has
made discovery which many of his pro-
fession have been working upon for MANY
years with varying success, and to which
he himself has devoted his attention for no
less than fifteen years. If the Professor
has not allowed his enthusiasm to get the
better OF his Judgment or his veracity. he
has indeed made discovery which will in
evitably "reyolutionize," and to tre-
mendous extent. more than one industry
and more than one line of business.
Professor Hirsch feels quite sure that he
has discovered process by which he can
extract aluminium from common CLAW in A
condition suited to manufacturing pur.
poses. at cost not exceeding Is cents q
pound. II such be the case it is the cul
mination of splendid exhibition of per-
sistence in scientific pursuit.
Within the lifetime of many who are vet
hale this metal commanded a price equal
with gold. Within twenty five years il has
had commercial value of Sis an ounce.
One after another improved processes have
been discovered, until it has been produced
at less and less cost, until about a year ago
the announcement was made that a mer.
charitable sample had been produced at a
cost OF - a pound. At Cleveland. O.. an
incorporated company has been experi-
menting for years with the sole object of
producing aluminium suitable for manu-
facture at cost of so cents pound.
At the latter price, it has been claimed
this metal would supersede steel for MANY
purposes, and would enter into an almost
countless number of manufactures. 1t is
to be found everywhere. and in almost
