20 the assessment Of taxes: (Reyised

All property shall be valued for
taxation al its true value in money,
which, in all cases not specially pro
vided for by law, shall be held to be
as follows, TO wit: For personal prop
erty, the usual selling price Oh the
usual terms of similar property at
administrators or executors sales, at
the place where the return is made;
and for real property, the usual sell
ing price on the usual terms Of SINH
lar property at sales for partition
under the order of the count, at the
place where the return is to be made.
If there is no usual selling price,
then at what is honestly believed
could be obtained for the same at a
;air sale under the conditions above

The lands on the West Side are

the State Land Board.
Tuesday, Mr.. Fem, agent for the
board, filed Application No. 2, for sub
stantially the same lands as were APP
piled for in Application No. !, and, Of
course, this ties them up for period
now unknown.
The Secretary Of the Interior decid-
ed against Application No. ], and as
practically the same conditions exist in
the second as in the first application,
IL is safe to predict results in the case
now pending But these delays are
dangerous to the interests OF the set
tiers who are camping near the lands
and are anxious TO make filings and
homes for themselves and families.
The course Of the State Board is be.
