Business property has not suffered a
reduction in his county, and he would
not lower it.
A general discussion showed that six
teen counties, mostly mountain coun-
ties, have increased their assessment
rolls this year, while forty one have de-
creased them.
SANTA CRUZ NEXT.
Frank Mattison, Assessor of Santa
Cruz County, tackled the board single
handed, with no one to help him in his
uphill fight, and he held his own.
He opened up with the statement that
his reduction of S643 900 was not
| enough 1t was made on city property
and timber land mainly, on account OF
the shrfnkage of values in timber. The
Auditors report of $40, ,62S, $50 differed
from his on account of a slight omission
in adding in some property. The city
of Santa Cruz has gone back but Wat
sonville has gone ahead. There was
very little decrease in the lower portion
of the county, and there is an increase
in the number of fruit trees. He had
nearly doubled the solvent credits in the
county this year.
The highest assessment for land near
Watsonville is $500. There are many
apple orchards assessed for $50 an
acre for trees, and some for 800 for
trees. Sometimes the fruit on the trees
sells for more than the trees are as
sessed for, and some orchards have sold
their crop for five years to come but it
is only a gamble, and several buyers
have gone broke" by so buying. The
packers say that the Santa Cruz prunes
contain too much water, and he himself
has a prune orchard that he intends to
dig up.
He made no general or percentage cut,
but made it on certain pieces of property
that he thought needed it, He made a
reduction, however, on the redwood
lands. Timber from the north can be
landed in Santa Cruz at from So to 81
for pine and redwood, respectively. His
people cannot make redwood lumber for
less than SO a thousand, and the yards
are kept running simply for the pur
pose of keeping their customers sup
piled. He had told the owners of timber
lands that if lumber went up 81 or So
thousand, he should raise their assess
ments next year. He made the greatest
cut on timber that is farthest from
market, and cut it from So to so an
acre.
Property in Santa Cruz is simply at
a standstill and cannot be sold at any
fair value. He instanced case of
property assessed at 81, 900 last year
and $1,000 this year. which the owner
offers for sale for 50, 900. No one wants
to buy until the question of the double
issue of bonds, amounting to SSO0,00O
is settled, as, if the courts decide the
double issue is legal, the taxes will be
enormous. The reduction he made was
on the residence portion, and he did
not reduce the business portion. Wat
sOnville has been growing all the time,
on account of the sugar factory, and is
becoming one of the best towns in the
State.
He thought his county should be re-
duced 10 per cent, and was willing to
stand whatever his people said to him
on account of it. The decrease in real
estate and improvements in Santa Cruz
was a little over $223, 600 He frankly
stated that this year he had reduced
the assessment on mortgages in certain
cases, and that had cut some figure
in the reduction of the assessment roll,
as he had thought it just.

HUNTING FOR ELEPHANTS.
A Recently Tanned Benst That Would
Stand ANY Charge.

A Recently Tanned Beast That Would
Stand Any Charge.
One of the first things the Maharaja
did after our arrival was to hand to
each guest slip of paper on which was
written the name OF the elephant al
lotted to him for shooting purposes.
which bore on its back the structure
known as a "howdah." to carry the
shooter and his guns. AS these ele-
phants were necessarily large. and the
howdah Is high, the oscillation was
much greater than II one were seated
upon a plain pad upon the elephants
back. or on one OF the smaller ele-
phants. which have smoother gait.
We usually. therefore, went to the
cover or jungle, upon one Of the beat
Ing" or pad" elephants, which after
wards during the operations OF the day
were employed in long line to force
the rhinoceroses and other animals out
Of the dense thickets In which they
live.
The howdah-elephant which the Ma
harajah allotted to me was named
"Secunder." Three years previously II
was an uncaptured wild elephant rang
ing at liberty In the jungles of Bengal.
1t was fine female, between nine and
ten feet in height at the shoulder, with
short but perfect 'tushes" projecting
few inches beyond the upper lip.
There were other elephants in the Ma
hara1a's stud which have been tanned
more recently still. 1t was very gentle
and obedient and perfectly fearless, and
therefore, very valuable as a shooting
elephant as, for example, on several
occasions during the following three
weeks, 1t stood without flinching the
charge of wounded buffalo, tiger and
rhinoceros. thus enabling me to take a
steady sot. Almost all elephants show
great fear of the Indian rhinoceros;
there are few that will not turn tail
when they scent their enemy, and few
er still that will stand the crash and
short snorts that precede the charge.
About breakfast time each morning
the elephant told off for each guest was
brought to the neighborhood of his
tent. and the howdah placed upon it,
resting upon sadie composed of two
cushions OF strong sacking about six
feet by two. which rested in turn upon
large cloth covering the whole of the
elephants back. The howdahs for
shooting are lightly built of wood and
canework, and contains two seats, and
racks to hold six guns or rifles, three
on each side. All this is lashed on by
ropes passing under the elephants
neck, belly and tail. The weight which
an elephant is able to carry upon his
back exceeds a ton; for short distances
they have been known to carry as
much as three thousand pounds, but for
long marches half ton Is considered
the limit. Many Of the Maharajas ele-
plants had fine tusks, but most tusks
are cut at regular intervals to prevent
then from injuring one another One
or two OF the fighting elephants, how
ever, had pointed tusks.
