HOW 1T AFFECTS TAXPAYERS.

SEATTLE. Feb. aS. 1894.
TO THE EpIroR: In proposed amend
ment number four A to the charter of Seat
tie occurs the following provision: The
city council may order the whole or any
part of the streets planked
or may order any sewer with manholes.
catch basins and other proper connections
TO be constructed or repaired therein. and
may provide for defraying the cost OF any
such improvement by the collection of a
special assessment upon the property ben
efiteu in the manner provided in this sec
ton without the presentation of any petit
ton whatever, either to the board of pub
lie works or to the city council. etc."
Will not the practical effect of the
adoption Of the amendment be to compel
property holders along any street which
has not vet been provided with sewer TO
pay the entire cost of putting in sewer
in said street, and that too after having to
pay their proportion of the hundreds of
thousaods Of dollars already expended in
the construction of sewers in the central
and other parts of the city?
Would you kindly answer through the
columns of your paper. and oblige

up some of the money recently sqandered
on the hire of political heelers by the
Democrats. il they get into power again.

In revising the rules of the county poor

commissioners have made one change
which will be greatly appreciated, espe-

admission of patients. SO that now the
county physician is allowed to admit
temporarily patients in cases Of emer-
gency. subjecr to the approval of the CON-
missioners when they consider the case.
Heretofore there has been no provision
for the care of victims of accidents. etc.

were city or county patients. As result
they were usually kept in uncomfortable
quarters at the police station until an in

county as before required

A COAT OF RON RODS.

It L. Bullet Proof and May R~evolutionize
Heavy Armor Plating.
have been stimulated by the recent
trials Of the bullet proof ouirass to try q
few experiments on the subject. I will
only mention one experiment, which I
made this morning, assisted by several
members Of the Junior Scientific club
here. It occurred to me that, if the en-
ergy Of the bullet could be made to act
at rather a large angle to its line Of
flight, its penetrating power would be
diminished.
To effect this I arranged a number Of
soft iron rods one.quarter inch in diam
eter and 3 inches long side by side and
touching apiece Of deal board. On these
another layer was placed, so that one Of
the upper rods touched two Of the under
ones. A sheet Of thin rubber one-six-
tenth Of an inch thick placed on this
separated it from q similar combination
attached to it at right angles, and the
whole formed the target.
The rife used was q winchester, "a
bore, carrying q long bullet. At a dis.
lance Of 30 feet the bullet penetrated
five inches of hard pine with certainty,
but when the bullet, fred at the same
distance, hit my rod target it failed tc
penetrate wen the first layer, but only
drove the upper rods aside nearly al
right angles to the line Of flight. The
next experiments will be made with
heavier materials and larger shot Pos
sibly a similar arrangement, but o.
large steel cylinders, might make a sat
isfaotory barrier to the shots Of biz
guns.-F. J. Smith in London Nature.

Close Of Another Cattle Season.

1t is now nearing the end of another
cattle shipping season, and we notice
that Paris, Burghardt & Allenberg
have issued to the western trade what
will probably be their last circular
for 1894. The firm has given general
satisfaction in this section; and, not
withstanding the sharp competition,
has received a large patronage.
A portion of this Chicago commits.
sion firms circular is quoted for the
benefit of PRESS readers:
Our Western trade has increased
largely this year, and, as it has come
to us without any more effort in ad-
vertising than in former years, we
believe the increase is due to good re.
ports given of us to others by our Gus.
toners. When we consider that the
Western trade has been competed for
by more firms than ever before, and
that the Western country has been
overrun by more solicitors than ever
before, who always "double teams"
to work against the firm that has an
established trade and reputation in
any certain locality, we are more
than grateful that we have made
gains in every such locality in spite
of such competition, and are full of
hope for the future. Any of those
who have yielded to the p]ersuasions
of others solicitors, and are
sorry for it, may he sure that we have
no ill.will toward any man, but that
we will be glad to have them "with
u.s. in 1895, as such men are the best
solicitors we a get.
1t has been, and will he, our aim ut
all times to sell all shipments, each
on it's own merits, and in mixed ship.
ments to sell each owners cattle for
actual value as nearly as that can he
done considering the wholesale char.
acter of the cattle trade ut this mar.
ket, the shortness of market hours
each day, and the fact that buyers
will seldom purchase u carload of
mixed brands and give a dozen differ.
ent prices for different animals, as
they haven't the time. Those who
have ''strays' sold in various ship
ments will often notice quite a differ.
ence in prices of single animals of
the same weight and quality for this
reason, but, as we said before, it is
our aim to sort and sell like cattle to-
gether whenever it is possible to do
so, and we believe we come as near
doing this as any firm here.
