we have been able to settle down to what will be good and what will be bad.
 It is now conceded that small shapes in neckwear will be fashionable, and that large shapes will be cheap.
 It will run something on this order so far as proportions go: Ties will be one and an eighth inches wide and made to fit the various collar sizes Four-in-hands will run from one and quarter up to two inches in width. Bows, knots and puffs will be strict copies of the tied-by-hand affairs.

A NICE QUESTION RAISED.
Was the Western Banks Property
 Doubly Assessed?

A very interesting and somewhat novel question was discussed in the board of supervisors yesterday It is still a question and it's ul- innate solution will probably be of fered in the courts. Acting under a law of the present legislature County Assessor Luke listed the capital stock of all banks other than national banksc, for taxation. Among the banks so assessed was the Western Investment Banking company's stock. MT. Hickey of the company objected to the listing as a double assessment, but for some reason the matter was not disposed of by the board of su- pervisors during its sittings as board of equalization MT Hickey had made the return required of him, under protest, and not long ago filed his formal objection to the assess ment and yesterday appeared before the board accompanied by his attor- ney, Judge Early. Some of the books of the company were brought along and it's workings and history were ex- plained by Mir. Hickey.
 Notwithstanding the sign on the building and on the companys sta ] tionery,, the company, he said, was not bank. It received money on de- posit and performed other functions of banks, yet it's organization and aims were different from those of banking institutions. The business had been instituted in a small way at first for the purpose of making in- vestments and dealing in real estate It had afterward been enlarged and 1 capitalized, the basis of the capital i stock being the real estate owned by the company. The capital stock repre- sents, therefore, only the real estate. Considered apart from the real estate the stock was absolutely without value. The real estate had already been equitahly assessed, so that the | listing of the stock was a double as- sessment upon the real estate.
 MT. Hickey intimated that the un- favorable consideration of this mat ter by the board would result in liti- | gation.
 Judge Kibbey, assisting district at torney, addressed the board briefly. Whether or not the listing of the bank stock might be regarded as a double assessment upon the real es- tatte was a matter which could not be considered. Assessor Luke had plainly followed the law in assessing one and in listing the other. The Western Banking company, though not performing all the functions ot an ordinary bank, performed at least some of them and was for instance as it's books showed, a bank of 6e- posit. It was, therefore, bank with in the meaning of the law and the as- sessment of it's capital stock had evi- dently been contemplated in the leg islative act. MT. Hickey's position that the stock of the bank would be valueless apart from the real estate upon which 1t was Issued he believed to be erroneous. The stock of nc other bank was based on real estate or on anything else, still it had g value and was assessable The board declined to order the stock removed from the list.

COAL FIELDS SURVEY.
The Work Will Begin as Soon a:
 Washington Approves.

Charles F. Solomon visited Tucson last week to attend to business in the surveyor generals office, in connec- tion with the completion of the sur vey seggra gating the Deer creek coal
 fields from the San Carlos Indian res- ervation, says the Bulletin. l. E.. Solomon and J. c. Pursley were bondsmen for Surveyor Samuel Logan who run the original survey in which an error was found by one of the de- partment inspectors sent to examine and receive the work. A correction was ordered from Washington, but when that order came Logan had disappeared and has never been heard from. The surveyor general has al- lowed the bondsmen to complete the survey under the Logan contract. MT
 Solomon went to Tucson to represent his father and MT. Pursley, the bonds men, and while there made arrange ments with Philip Contzen, a compe- tent surveyor, to complete the sur vey. Everything has been satisfac- torily arranged at the surveyor gen erals office and as soon as the mat ter can be approved at Washington MT. Coutzen will begin the work.

Southern California from this report
has 10000 acres devoted to orange or
charae and HOP acres devoted to lemon
orchards, or total of 41,076 acree de-
voted to citrus fruits. or a total of "a
sections of land-less than two town
ships.
1t ie estimated that a fair yield
of oranges, in good orchard prop
erly located and properly cared for,
Is a carload to the acre. Mr. Fuller i,s
conservative in placing the yield at half
a carload per acre. On this basis the
orchards now planted, when they come
into bearing, will produce annually over
10000 carloads of oranges and lemons
But many of these orchards are not
properly located and properly cared for;
some of them are in the wrong kind Of
soil; others are in the wrong kind of
climate, subject to damaging frosts;
many of them are owned by men who do
not give them the proper attention.
hence theywill not produce even the low
average fixed III this estimate of half a
carload per acre; but, on the other hand,
many orchards are producing more than
this estimate and hence it is fair TO
assume that the orchards now planted
will give average returns of half a car
load per acre when they come into
bearing.
II the government gives this industry
a tariff of cent per pound, or 60 cents
per box-$195 per car-there will be no
difficulty in finding a market for the
entire crop from California at an average
OF $500 per car or total of over SIC, O,O0O,-
900 when the orchards now planted are
in full bearing. Even this output would
not meet the present demand for this
class of fruits in the United States. which
demand is now a. low ebb because of
the depressed condition of business. Not
only this. but if the public demand for
citrus fruits in the United States in
creases in the next twenty years as it
has in the past twenty years, the present
acreage of citrus fruit orchards inEali-
fornia will have to be more than dupli
