TAX ROLLS ARE READY.
They Will Show Little Decrease in
the Total Assessment


On Monday, County Assessor Lynch
will have his assessment rolls complete
and file them with the county clerk for
extension. This will bring him well with
in the provisions of the statutes govern
ing such matters, and enable the clerk
and his deputies to finish their portion Of
the work in good time. 1t will be some
weeks yet before the extensions will be
completed and the rolls ready for the in
spection of the members of the board OF
equalization.
AS has been stated by The Herald
would be the case, the reduction in the
total assessed valuation, as compared
with that of the previous year, will not be
material, a careful estimate of the ag-
gregate having placed it at not less than
100000, which would be a. decrease of
in the neighborhood Of per cent. This
decline is not found in the valuations
placed on the real estate of the county,
but upon the personal property. Realty
has been valued at practically the same
figures as were in force last year and
the improvements have been eVened up,
but the cut came on the personal prop
erty. In the country there will be very
little if any change, except in the lands
over the river, while the decrease in val
uationS comes almost entirely out Of the
city.

The Past rIonth an Active One
in Utah.
PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE.
THEY ARE OF THE MOST ENCOUR-
AGING NATURE.
The Crops Are in Good shape and
stock Looking Well-Snlt Lake
City's Retail Trade-COIlectiOns
ImprOved-With the Local Banks
But Few Failures During the
Month.

With the month of May ended a
very active commercial and financial
season for this territory and the indi-
cations for the future are very flat
tering. In his monthly review Super
intendent Harold NJ. Pitt, Of Brad
streets, takes a very encourag ing view
of the condition Of affairs here in
Utah His report makes the following
showing:
With May the active period of the
first half of the year usually closes.
Commercial travellers in dry goods,
shoes, clothing and similar lines have
been out during the entire month for
winter orders and reports are to the
effect that country dealers are buying
freely and give every evidence of con-
fidence in future trade.
Copious rains throughout the terri
tory insures good crops and improved
ranges for sheep and cattle. Stock
and sheep men anticipate much benefit
from this condition, while among far
mers there is a general feeling OF Sc
curity in the knowledge that crops
should be exceptionally good.
The wool clip has been satisfactory
and returns seem to be coming in
freely.
Through Cache Valley most Of last
years wheat is still held and a much
better price is now being realized than
could have been obtained before. 1t is
estimated that in Cache Valley shere
is still upwards of 200 car loads. or
100000 bushels, available, most of
which will very probably go on the
market within a few weeks time.
Compared with last year general
trade shows d substantial improve
ment both for the month and the
year thus far advanced. Collections
are also improved in proportion Com
pared with years preceding last, how
ever, the falling off is quite notice
able and business cannot be called up
to the standard of former years, FL
though it is being conducted on an
unquestionably better and more con-
sentative basis.
The city's retail trade does not ap-
pear to have increased very n1ateri-
ally. The months clearings in Salt
Lake City were $4,7S4,6S4 an increase
of 1924, 576, or per cent. over May OF
last year, and as compared with May
of 1898, show a decrease Of S1,379,5l6,
or % per cent.
The banks report conditions steady
and money plentiful for legitimate de-
mands. There is a satisfactory move
ment towards industrial development
and much activity is shown in the
promotion of new enterprises.
Commercial failures in Utah during
the month were few in number while
the amount involved was small.
Following is a comparison with the

COMING FROM SOUTH DAKOTA.
Another Colony of Homeseekers
Now Figuring on Utah Lands.

For several weeks past Messrs. James
Gregg and X. II. Huntley, of South Da-
kota, have been in the territory as repre-
sentatives of 8. colony of home seekers
recently organized in their district for
the purpose of migrating to one of the
states or territories of the west where
irrigating methods are in use. AS is gen.
orally the case with this class of people,
they are very desrious of securing gov
eminent lands which may be reclaimed
by the waters OF some canal system
either now in use or TO be built in the
near future, for they do not care TO make
purchases of improved property If the
other kind is obtainable. The gentlemen
have visited the Bear River, Mt. Nebo
and Beaver valley lands, and with the
latter were particularly struck on &C
count of the abundance of INDICATED
land which will come under the canal
system recently completed by the Beaver
Valley Land and Water company. They
were shown several of the very desirable
tracts in the territory by w. E. Hubbard
and it is more than likely that the colony
will go to the Beaver valley country
Both of the gentlemen left for their
homes yesterday afternoon, and within
the next week or two Mr.. Hubbard ex-
poets TO hear a report favorable to the
Utah lands. Should the colony decide

STATE BOARD OF MONTANA.
Has Been Officially Recognized BY
the Pacific Board.

r. A. Luke one of the prominent insur-
ance agents Of the state of Montana and
one of the members of the special COM
mittee sent by the recently organized
board of underwriters of Montana to the
city of San Francisco for the purpose OF
receiving official recognition at the handS
of the board of fire underwriters OF the
Pacific. arrived in the city yesterday
morning. and after spending the day
among the local agents, left for the
north. To a Herald reporter he stated
that the mission of the committee had
been an extremely successful one, and
within the next few days the board OF
Montana will get into working harness.
This is the first of several steps Whlcn
will be taken by the agents within the
jurisdiction of the parent board, which IS
just now in such hard lines, and 1t is not
at all unlikely that within the present
month several other state boards will be
organized and placed in working order,
among them one for this territory. Inc
Montana board will handle all business or
that state and the northern part OF the
state of Idaho and make reports direct 10
the home offices instead of TO the board
of fire underwriters of the Pacific, as was
formerly the case.
In conversation with a reporter of The
Herald, Mr.. Luke stated that all IS quiet
in the state of Montana, and there is no
likelihood of any rate cutting belnS done
outside of the city of MiSSoula, whose
agents have been engaging in small war
among themselves. 1t is anticipated that
within the next week or two every agent

of the state board of fire underwriters,
including those of the Home and Phoe-
nix. In Montana they are maintaining
rates with the others but mere IN tan
they are responsible for the chaotic state
into which the insurance business has
been thrown.
Conditions are in a terrible state down
on the coast, says MIR. Luke, and there is
no indication of a favorable change. The
general managers seem to have given up
all hope Of getting together in the near
future and they are waiting Tor official in
structions from the home offices of their
companies.

congressman Dorsey, of the state

evening that the rains which visited the
states of Nebraska and Kansas during

people of those states many thousands OF
dollars; and, in fact. saved from bank

Youthful Offenders Arraigned.

Charles Chapman. aged 16; Frank
Jennings, aged 16. and Frank Wilder,
aged 13. the trio arrested by the police
a few days ago and indicted by the
grand jury for housebreaking, were
brought in to plead. They are a very
tough outfit and have been guilty Of
numerous acts of thieving and house
breaking, and the worst of it is that
they seem to glory in their achieve
ments in that line.
They all entered pleas Of guilty, but
as they had no attorney his honor ap-
pointed Morris Sommer to defend them
with the understanding that after
consulting with him they might
change their pleas i they so desired.
