The Remaining Exemptions.

The taxpayer should remember that
the decision lately rendered by the
Supreme Court covers only two diyis
ions out of the eight which apply to
exemptions. Therefore the other six
divisions remaining exempt from tax
alton according to the closing words
of the Supreme Court decision. 1t
may be we'll enough to call atten ton
in general way to what the other
divisions cover, and exempt from tax
alton accordin, to the Supreme Court, !:
a. All burying grounds, cemeteries
and places of general worship.
o. School properties belonging to
district, county, state or United
States.
(3.) All fire apparatus belonging to
the municipality.
~ Public libraries, asylums, homes
for the aged, hospitals, etc.
(5.) Fruit trees for four years after
being transplanted.
Co. Ships, vessels and boats while
under construction.
The. sixth related to the exemption
of five hundred dollars worth of per-
sonal property and the eighth related
to the improvements upon lands, both
of which the Supreme Court declare
to be unconstitutional, and therefore
such property and such improvements
are subject to taxatiOn.-Seattle

ONE evening last week two Indians
from the Nisqually reserve, named
George and John Williams, brothers
entered the home of Napoleon Ie-
Gard, a Canadian Frenchman wbo
lives on the Ike Hawk place, and pro-
ceeded to assault him with knives. and
LeGard was fearfully hacked by his
assallants. Deputy Sheriff cClellan
lett for Nisqually to. arrest the muir
derous depredators. They were soon
found, but George, manifesting an
ugly disposition, started in to "clean
out" the officer. In order to accom-
plish his object, the officer was COM
PEELED to use his pistol, and the con-
sequence is that one of the murderous
rascals lies in the county Jail with
several holes through his tough hide

The assessor of Skagit has been do
ing some figuring on the effect of the
recent supreme court decision, which
declared invalid the special exemption
section of the new revenue law, and
according to his computations it will
add about 100000 to the taxable val
ue of property in that county. The
equalized value of personal property
in Skagit county in 1895 was 1922 32
and of real estate, exclusive of rail-
roads, in the assessment of which ex-
emption would not have been counted,
was 1854, 541, making a total of 81,
343,973. This was the value as equal
lied blythe state board To add $500
600 to this will increase it by nearly
Is per cent If this is an index II the
effect on the whole state the reduction
in the rate of taxation as conse-
quence will be very considerable. :,
g., - 1t has already ,lb9s?en pointed out by
the Ledger that the decision does
away with all exemptions and makes
it necessary to tax all property, so
that many poor people as. a conse-
quence Of the clumsy work of the late
populist legislature, will be compelled
to pay taxes that they really ought
not to pay, and that the heavier tax
payers would gladly see them exempt
ed from. But this is only one of the
natural results that always follow the
efforts of those who persist in med
ding with thi ngs that there is no rea-
son to change, under the ppetense
that they desire to be helpful to those
who do not need help.

IHE populist party in this state has
abandoned fusion. They propose to
STICK to the middle of the road hereaf-
ter, so they say, and sink or swim on
the Omaha platform; but as nearly
every populist has different road in
view, from nearly every. other one
they will wake up some day and find
these have led them a long way apart,
and that they must fuse among them
selves, or they will be unable to collect
even quorum for caucus.-Ballard

A COSTLY piece of redwood was ship
ped from San Francisco a short time
ago, consigned to William w. Astor,
London, England. The piece was the
cross section of a big redwood tree II
feet in diameter, and was valued at
SIG. Mr. Astor was telling some of
his guests of our large trees, and his
stories were generally ) doubted by
them. The shipment of the slab was
the result of wager that he could
supply section of a tree which could
be used as table to seat so guests.
Mr.. Astor deserves great credit for his
enterprising way of convincing the
Englishmen. No doubt his dinner
party may be the means of inducing
some of them to invest in our forests.

The Uses Of Fruit.

OF all the classes of Natures edible
productions, that of fruit is most
pleasing to the senses. That fruit
alone will not sustain life for a pro-
longed period is true, but that the
organic salts and acids of fruit are
necessary to the maintenance of per-
feet health is equally correct. Prof.
A. R. Elliot CDietetic and HYGIENE
Gazette, November) summarizes the
uses OF fruit as follows
l.. To furnish variety to the diet.
2. To relieve thirst and introduce
water into the system.
3. To furnish nutriment.
4. To supply organic salts. essential
to proper nutrition. III:
5. To stimulate the kidneys, increase
the flow of urine and lower its acidity.
6. To act as laxatives.
Z. To stimulate and improve APP
petite and digestion.
s. To act as antiscorbutics.
Concerning the mode of preparation,
ripe fruit as a rule do not need to be
cooked, and are much more palatable
and equally nutritious in the uncook-
ed state. The proper time to eat fruit
is either at the beginning of the meal
or between meals, when they aid di-
gestion and exert the greater laxative
effect. Taken at the completion of a
meal, they dilute the gastric juice and
tend to embarrass digestion.
