ONE CHANCE IN A THOUSAND

A gentleman conversant with the oppor-
tunties for railroad building In all parts
of the country declares the proposed San
Joaquin road the very best he knows of.
1t is what he calls soft snap for inves-
tors. 1t can be built at less cost than ordi-
nary roads. move freight at less expense
per ton per mile. and its business Is wait
ing for it, Everybody along the route
wants it and will patronze it. There is
not such an opening in the entire northern

roads have been constructed forth future !;
in this case it is for the present. The road
will not have to wait for business. The

TAXES IN NEW YORK.

The rate OF taxation in New York is
increasing ct both ends. About ST.
600. 600 is added to the valuation this year,
and mills increase in the levy is de-
clared necessary. The amount to be raised
by tax this year is $685. 177.4 29 To this
will be added S1.000000 to cover deficien-
cies. Tie total valuation is 1888, SIS, 52S.
Whether this increase in valuation is
actual or in the mind of the Assessor can
only be known by real-estate experts. In
view of the fact of the enormous shrinkage
of industrial and other stocks listed in
the exchange, the apprehension is no.
without foundation that the increase in
valuation is made 10 provide larger sum
without material raise In the tax levy.
