an ominously rumbling sound like the
distant roar of the flow Of heavy stream

The current was sufficiently strong to ex-
tinguish the light Of an ordinary candle.
All who witnessed the phenomenon went
away guessing al the source of the noise
and the current OF air. Some suggested
that II the earth's interior were penetrated

posed-the hidden source Of the cyclone,

THE FIGURES ARE FIXED.
The Board Of Equalization Has Com
pleted Its Work.
IT LEVIES A TAX OF TEN HILLS.
a Significant Report From the city
Clerk Concerning the Expense
and the Income OF This Growing
Municipality.

The life Of a city councilman is not
wholly devoid OF amusement. For a
number oil days our city council has been
veritable busybody, aud the entertain
ing feature Of It is that il has been inter
esting itself with other peoples business.
Sitting as board Of equalization, it's
duties have been diverse and not wholly
without rhythmical variation.
Many important matters have come up
for consideration, among which is the
task OF adjusting the assessment Of city
property. Many mp!aints-they came
as a matter OF habit rather than because
they were justified-were made on City
Clerk Bartholets figures, and a result in
a number Of cases was that they were in
creased rather than reduced. However,
the great majority OF items that came
before the board were, in this session,
disposed of with unusual celebrity and
dispatch. On Monday, however, it prac
tically completed its labors in this respect
and, on motion by Reed, the levy was
made as follows: On special, interest and
water and light funds, the levy was made
at 5 mills; for general purposes, 8 mills,
making 10 mills in all--the limit allowed
by law. As shown by the city clerk 8
report, the total Of the tax thus collected
will be needed to defray the expense OF
municipal government, for the sum re-
quired for that purpose is not less than
$27 ,40S, while the tax and the income from
license and otherwise is not at present
p,ore than SIS, 2s7 for the year. In this
connection Clerk Bartholets report will
be interesting;

ell OF the City OF North Yakima.

OF silver coin, was counting out the
amount by piling up the heavy sacks
OF silver, each containing O thousand
silver dollars. AS employees of the
bank were present in large numbers.

any one picking up any of the sacks,
which weigh nearly seventy pounds
While this was going on q we'll dressed

the sack and leisurcly led the way
along the crowded streets for block
