Among the important acts of the
legislature of 1898 the amendment OF
the franchise fee law must not be over
looked. The Legislature of 1891, on the
recommendation of Gov. Luce in his
retiring message, passed AN act TO re-
,uire all corporations fling articles of
Incorporation in the state department
to pay certain percentage on their
capital stock as fee for Incorporation.
The law was so imperfect that the
largest corporations. those organized
in other states but doing business here,
had to pay no tax. The last legislature
amended the law SO as TO include all
such corporations, as well as all in
crcases of capital stock by corporations

could not evade the law by organizing

The popular small cheeses made in
France and Germany, but used every
where, being largely exported from
these two countries, are divided into
two classes, the one being those kinds
that are used within a few days after
the making, the others being cured for
later consumption, and thus being able
to be kept some time after they are fit
ted for use 1t is plain that this latter
class of cheescs is more suitable for ex-
tensive manufacture on this account than
the other kinds called fromages frais, or
fresh chcCsCs, and on account of the great
ly improved quality of the cheese the
cured ones are known as fromages affine,
or refined chooses. And this term is fully
justified by the most careful process OF
curing by which the sharper ammoni-
acal taste and odor are got rid of, and
soft rich. buttery consistence and
pronounced but pleasant flavor are given
by the slow and careful curing. 1t is a
curious fact that this method of curing,
which has been learned during more
than century and has been slowly
evolved Ivy gradual experience, is based
on the most correct scientific principles
and by the aid Of germs which are cul-
tivatcd in the cheese, now only coming

Trespasses on state Land.

One of the most important duties OF
the commissioner of the state land
office is TO look after the trespassers on
state lands. There is a constant temp
tation TO dishonest lumber and timber
operators to make raids on the rich
fields of operations owned by the state,
and the keenest vigilance is necessary
to protect the people from being robbed
by this class of operators. 1t may be

much better their interests have been
