PACIFIC COAST.
E. w. Clark, Superintendent of the
Pacific Coast Railway, appeared before
the board His road was, last year
assessed at 81 80 per mile but he sub
mitted that since that time a parallel
road had been put through the coun-
try, and the earnings have, on that
account, been materially reduced. For
the year ending March 81, 1896, the net
earnings Were SIC, 700; for the year end
ing March 81, 1895, the net earnings
We're $23, 900, and for the year ending
March 81, 1897, the net earnings were
only S11, coo, and from present appear
ance, he asserted, the earnings for next
year will show a still greater decrease.
Mr.. Clark submitted that the road is
not money maker, and estimated that
an assessment of $3,j 500 a mile would
be high enough for all purposes.
PULLMAN CAR COMPANY.
At the afternoon session ]. P. Nee
han, representing the Pullman Palace
Car Company, was before the board
In 1896, the total assessed valuation
Of the property of the company in the
State was S110, 800, and in accordance
with the returns of the company, and
with that made by the Southern Pa
cific Company, Mr.. Meehan asked that
eighteen Pullman cars and twenty-five
tourist cars be taken from the roll of
1896. Thirteen Pullman cars, he ex-
planned, have been turned over to the
Southern Pacific Company to be made
into day coaches, and a similar dispO-
s1tion has been made of twenty-five
tourist cars, while five Pullman cars
have been transferred to other sections
out of the jurisdiction of the board
Pullman coaches, Mr. Meehan ex-
planned, are assessed at $4,000 each,
and tourist cars at 81, 500 each. The
reduction, if allowed, will be appor-
toned to the several sections of the
roads in the State over which the cars
are operated.

ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.


Judge G. n. Sterry was on hand in
the interest of the Atlantic and Pacific
people, and said it had, in the past,
been the wish of the company he rep
resented to have a separate assessment
OF It's property. That course, owing to
the statutory provisions had been i'm
possible, and in order to make the mat
ter possible bill had been put through
the last Legislature which would al
low Of the leased line of the Atlantic
and Pacific in this State being Jumped
with the rolling stock of the company
The line leased by the Atlantic and
Pacific road from the Southern Pa
cifc Company is 242 miles in length
and lies between MOjave and The
Needles, and, according to the state
ment of Judge Sterry, never had, and
never can have any net revenue. 1t
runs through a desert country, which
has no value whatever and since the
road was built betterments, except for
SAFETY, have never been made.
AS part of the Southern Pacific sys-
TEN, Judge Sterry said the lin of track
had been assessed on par with other
portions of the road, at about $4,000
per mile, which figure was clearly ex-
cessive. The Atlantic and Pacific COM
pany had not, he said, made a return
of the road in its statement, for the
reason that it was embodied in the
return made by the Southern Pacific
Company, but as the former had under
the existing contract, to pay the taxes
on the property, they thought it but
just that it be included in the assess
nnents to the company, and in conjunc-
ton with the rolling stock used upon
it. He agreed with Mr.. Ryan who
was present, that the road ought, under
the new law, to be assessed to the
Atlantic and Pacific, through the
Southern Pacific Company, and the
probabilities are that the equaIizers
will follow that course.
Judge Sterry submitted that at the
very outset the road, franchise, right
of way and the rolling stock ought not
to be assessed higher than $4,000 per
mile.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
G.. Holterhoff, Secretary and Treas
urer of the Southern California Rail-
way, was also present, and made a
statement concerning the financial con-
dition of the road he represented.
Much of the road, according to Mr.
Holterhoff, and particularly the branch
roads, are being operated at a loss, and
at least 156 miles out of the 400 oper-
ated are in that condition. During the
past year, he submitted the net earn
| ings of the line have increased 1S per
cent, and while in 1896 the road was
assessed for $2950,000, he requested
that the board equalize matters by
cutting those fiures down to 81, 797 900
All of the roads in the State have now
had representatives before the board,
and the time of the latter between
this time and Monday evening will be
fully occupied in fixing the assessments
for the several corporations. The as
sessments must all be fixed by Mon
day evening

spend the summer visiting among
their Western brothers and in try
ing to induce some friendly tribe

Some of the red men were afoot,

other wearing only breechcloth.
Each carried a little black-eyed

"The average young man is the
agreeable fellow who earns enough
money to take care of himself and
to put by little for special occa-
sions," writes Ruth Ashmore in the
June Ladies Home Journal. But
he is not a millionaire, and he is
not the young man drawn by those
illustrations who, in black and
white, give US so-called society
sketches. A combination of foolish
influences makes the girl of to-day
expect entirely too much from the
young man of to-day. She reads,
or is told, that when young man
is engaged to be married he sends
bis fiancee so many pounds Of
sweets, so many boxes of flowers,
as we'll as all the new books and all
the new music that may appear
each week. If there were more
honest girls in this world-honest
in their treatment of young men,
there would be a greater number of
marriages and fewer thieves. Yes,
/ mean exactly wha: I say. It is
the expectation on the part of a
foolish girl that a man should do
more than he can honestly, that
has driven many men to the peni-
Tertiary, and many more to lives Of
so-called single blessedness.

NcKinley's Prosperity . Myth.

In the House last week Champ
Clark (Silver Dem.) of Missouri
made a few observations upon the
illusions of Republican promises.
His remarks were received with
lively appreciation by the Demo
Gratis, and should interest good cit
liens everywhere. Mr.. Clark said :
eff there ever was party committed by
every rule of justice and of logic to the
passage of bankruptcy bill, it is the Re-
publican party. 1t is the great mother of
bankrupts, and its laws have reduced a
great number Of people to that lamentsble
plight, and now it owes it as duty to it's
victims to give them an opportunity to
pull out of the hole. And in 1893 the
Republican party itself will need an easy
way of going into voluntary bankruptcy.
mckinley prosperity is q myth. 1t is
always just over the divide, in the next
county, on the other side of the hill. It 10
like the mirage of the desert, pleasing to
the vision, but impossible to reach; like
the pot Of gold at the rainbow's end, which
no man ever found; like the tabled foun-
tain of perpetual youth, which Ponce de
Leon sought for in vain; like the pleas
ures of dream, which the awakening
dissipates forever; like the a!chemist's
deferred discovery, 'hugged by the old to
the very verge Of the churchyard mold
"lf we live till Mckinley prosperity
comes we will all double discount Methu-
selah in length of days."
President Mckinley has appointed three
commissioners to go junketlng over Eu-
rope at an expense of $4,000 to the peo.
pie, to see If bimetallism can be arranged
by international agreement! That's the
pretense. The real object is to save from
destruction his bosom cronie, his Fidus
Achates, Marcus Aurelius Hanna at the
November. election. That's device No. /
to hoodwink the people; and it will fail
utterly. The thing is ridiculous farce,
and everybody knows it."

Pocatello Tribune: Little Ellen
Reeves, the eight-year-old daughter
of Mayor and Mrs. w. T. Reeves,
met with a terrible accident Monday
afternoon and is still in very seri-
Gus condition. When standing on
top of the gate, she fell, striking
the pit of her stomach squarely
upon one of the sharp pickets and
causing a frightful wound. A ply
stefan was at once summoned and
it took eight stitches to close the
wound. At last accounts the little
girl was resting easy and the doctor
had hopes of her recovery.

It is said that amateur hypnotic

It is said that amateur hypnotic
exhibitions are growing common
in Sioux City, Ia. The practice is
q fad there, and is INDUCED in at
social gatherings almost every
evening at various places in the
city. School children have taken
it up, and boys and girls yet in
knee breeches and short skirts
amuse themselves by throwing each
other into the hypnotic trance.
Doctors say this is most injurious
to the subjects, and may be expect
ed to result in cases of serious ILL.,
