Shrinking Their Duty.

Comptroller Roberts, of New York
warns the wealthy people of that state
that they must pay more taxes or they
may bring unpleasant results. He re-
ports to the legislature that while tax
able real estate in that state has in
creased 155 per cent since 1870, assess
ments of personal property has in
creased less than e per cent.
''In Justice, y he asserts, ito the mass
of small land owners and Taxpayers
who have from year to year borne more
than their equitable share of the bur-
den of taxation, l maintain that a
transfer tax on large estates that would
make up to a large extent for the years
of exemption enjoyed. would be simple
Justice" Roberts says that it is mani
fest that in New York from s. 800. 000,-
900 to S., 00O,0 600, 600 of personal proper

one-way figures; From Reno to Carson
an additional 81 is asked, and to Vir-
ginia the fare is So more.
The Southern Pacific almost holds a
monopoly to the point where the fight
is to occur, and it will hardly allow as
low rates as it would if there were
serious competition. AS far as Ell
Paso is concerned the Santa Fe road
could be used to Denver and from there
west there are several routes. But
from Ogden the Central Pacific,
which is part of Huntingdon sys-
TEN, would have monopoly. 1t looks
very gloomy to those who expect a
cheap rate to the Corbett- Fitzsimmous

The Eddy ScooI Situation.

Schools in town closed last night for
an indefinite period. The cause of this
is the Interpretation of the law by the
territorial attorney general TO the eff
feet that all funds held by the school
treasurer must be paid out on warrants
in their order as the Indebtedness in
CURED. This Interpretation of the
law is directly opposite to the view
heretofore held by the members OF
board of education, who have used the
funds collected each year to pay eX-
penses of the same year as far as the
cash would go. Now if the old debts
must be paid before the teachers salar-
les and other items of school expense,
the moneys coming into the treasurer
will all be taken up on old warrants,
held by spectators, leaving nothing
to pay the teachers The treasurer
has been enioined from paying funds
out on warrants except in their order.
The school teachers learning this threw
up their contracts and quit teaching

such as it has been selling heretofore.
When asked wherein the new tires
we're an improvement on the old, the
answer returned was: They will not
slip as easily. Everybody knows when
he puts on a new pair of rubber over
shoes that he is not so likely to slip as
with a pair the sOles of which have
been worn smooth. 1t is just the same
with tires. Our tires have been tested
for several months. In fact, we have
been working on the embossed tire
ever since last spring and we know that
we have a good thing. Experiments
show that these tires can be ridden
from 1000 to $500 miles over ordinary
roads before they are sworn smooth
At the same time we are prepared to
furnish smooth tires to those who want
them. > 1t is a significant circumstance
that this concern has given up the
manufacture of its double tube tire,
which has enjoyed certain measure of
popularity. The agent said that there
was no demand now for tires of that
kind, and he believed that only one
make of double tube tire would be found
on the market to any extent this year.
In say ing this he did not include the
so-called detachable tires, which are

Mrs. Mary Lewis, who owns handsome
brownstone house just opposite the
cafe. The language of her complaint,
addressed to the police commissioners,
reads: NEARLY every night and morn
ing the street is thronged with a mob
of bowling, cursing cabmen, waiting
for departing guests. Flights are
frequent; obscenity continues. Yells
of cab numbers and responsive bowls

The Dam.

crat has the following items of interest
G. N. Marshall, field engineer of the
| canal, was here the past week and says
| the canal will be completed in about
| two months.
| w. N. A. Norton, who has a contract
to do work on the canal, informs Us
that his outfit was shipped from Bur
nett, Texas, yesterday. 1t will be II
| Ell Paso day or two, and he will driv,
| from there to the work.
Work on the, canal has stimulated
enquiries from nonresident property
owners and others. Letters come
every day, asking: "Who is on my
property now? Has it been mortgaged
to defuuct Ell Paso bank"
The following information is furnish
ed through the kindness of Mr.. + G.
Barker. AS an abundant, constant
water supply is a matter of vital import
to the people of the lower Rio Grande
valley, a careful reading of the com
munication will repay all who are in
terested:
The commissioners of the Las Cruces,
Mesilla and Dona Ana bitches have
decided to call upon Engineer Clapp,
formerly of Las Cruces, in order that
he may advise them with regards to
the contemplated arrangements with
the canal company. They will meet
Mr.. Clapp at the new dam near Leas-
burg on Tuesday, February 9th, when
Engineer Campbell, of the Canal Co,
will also be present, so that everything
may be fully explained on the spot.
Interested parties desiring Information
are invited to be present.

Rates to Nevada.

| Col. G. F. Croker, first vice presi-
| dent of the Southern Pacific company
| has been asked if his company would
| oppose making a reasonable reduction
| in rates to the Corbett- Fitzsimmons
| contest. Without hest station he replied
| that he was in favor of making rate
that would induce the largest crowd
had to be taken into consideration. One
was the attitude OF eastern connections
of the Southern Pacific in making re-
duced rates from eastern cities. An
other was the extent to which the
Southern Pacific in its own territory,
like California for instance, could make
reductions without interfering with
local rates between California and Ne
vada points.
He said: 81 realize it is to the inter-
est of the Southern Pacific as a bust
ness proposition to haul as many people
as possible to the contest. The
trip from San Francisco to
Nevada is an interstate trip. If a re-
ductiOn is made in the rates three
days notice must be given to the in
terstate commerce commission before
it can go into effect. Then the reduced
rates must be open to everybody and
on that account the regular daily
travel of the railways will be disturbed.
Now will enough people from the east
attend the fight to warrant the eastern
roads requesting us to join them in
making a reduction from the east? I
for one do not know If they request
it, l am sure the Southern Pacific will
not oppose them. But the eastern
roads must decide that matter for
themselves: we cannot act for them"
The standard fare from various
points to Carson is as follows: San
Francisco, $1,000: Sacramento, S1.05:
