The STAR is in receipt of the first an
nual report of State Auditor Mayhem,
being for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1897. The auditor in his recon-
mendations says: ''There is a general
feeling among the people, which seems
to be justly founded, that some of the
wealthy corporations doing business
in the state are not bearing their pro-
portionate share of taxation The duty
of assessing railroad, sleeping car, TX
press, telegraph and telephone COM
panies devolves upon the state board
of assessment and equalization and
the reports furnished by these various
corporations do not. within themselves,
constitute IL very satisfactory basis to
work upon. The present board at its
last session appointed a committee of
it's members to procure further in
formation than is contained in these
reports. But the committee had no
legal standing and is powerless to OBJ
lain amy further information than may
be impaired tn them.
sit is therefore recommended that
the board he empowered by the legisla-
ture to inquire into the affairs of all
corporations to such extent AS may be
necessary to enable tenn to make Il
just and equitable assessment"

EDITOR STAR: Interested as we are
in the growth of Hot Springs, being
among the heaviest as we'll as the
smallest taX-payers-representing all
interests and classes that go to build
up u city-we desire to protest against
the reelection of Major
Anderson for mayor, believing that his
administration has been "a detriment,
rather than Il benefit to the best inter.
ests of this city. We believe in the
candidacy of DR.. Hargens, who is Il tax
payer, and a radical man in the eco
nomical administration of affairs, vet
one who will not unnecessarily ham
per the best interests of public mat
tcrs in order to gain Il little temporary
notoriety. the taxpayers have IL
worthy champion.
Personally, many of us enjoy the
friendship of Major Anderson, but this
is not the time for personal friendships
to dictate. We want a business admin
lstration, and we contend that no other
candidate will exert the same care and
watchfulness, the same progressive.

time persist in the economical conduct

He will not favor the expenditure of

find employment in repairing side

engaged in the discharge of his official
duties. In short, the marshal must
earn his salary under Hargens' admin

MONEY MAKING lin TAcoMA.
Tho City of Destiny Once Coined Its o.vn
Cash.

The City of Destiny Once Coined It's Own
Cash.
Tacoma once had a mint that coined
all of the money in circulation where
the City of Destiny now stands, and it
did not require the fiat of Uncle Sam,
the silver of Idaho or the gold of Cali
fornia to make the pieces from Tacoma's
mint pass current among tho Indians
and the few hardy pioneers who were
blazing the path of civilization through
the forest on the shores of Commenc"
ment bay. says the Tacoma Ledger.
Back i'll the early seventies the Tac..
ma Mill company, not being able To
handily secure gold and silver for use
in trading with and paying off the H.
dian laborers aud early settlers, hit
upon the novel plan of issuing its own
currency. and to this end set its black
smith to work to fashion for it out
Of scraps of iron aud brass pieces of
money, or, rather, tokens, which could
be used as q circulating medium. The
pieces consisted of 40 cent and 40 cent
iron tokens and brass 81 pieces. The 40
cent pieces were about an inch in diam
eter and the 45 cent pieces were about
the size of the present silver half dollar.
The 81 pieces were oval in shape, about
IA inches long, an inch wide and u
sixteenth Of an inch in thickness. These
pieces were stamped with the figures
showing their value, and readily passed
current all ove the country tributary to
the mill. Nearly all of this old "mill"
coin has passed away, but a few days
ago William Hanson of the Tacoma Mill.
company presented q set Of these queer
coins to the Ferry museum. In his let.
ter to the museum he said:
"The honesty of the people and the
absence of any blacksmith shop save
that of the company made the use of
this money possible"
Oregon has long boosted that the
"Beaver" coin, minted at Oregon City
in the early fiftics. was the only money
minted i'll the northwest il the days of
the pioneer. but here in Tacoma, long
years after Oregon's Beaver" mint
had become u historical incident, was Il
primitive mint that supplied the coin

The Chinaman's Care of Horses.

There is Il Chinese vegetable peddier
in Portland whose two horses have long
been admired by his customers. He
feeds them on the street, and one day
lately. some passers-by, who saw that
the man always seemed to be concoct-
ing some special dish for the team,
watched him prepare their MONDAY
meal
He led the horses into the shade,
loosened the traces and took off the
brides. Then he took Il noSe-bag for
each, and into each bag poured good
measure of rolled barley. Next he cut
up some carrots small, put them into
the nose-bags. and mixed them up with
the barley. Finally he went to his Wag-
on, and got four eggs, two of which he
broke into each measure. and stirred
them up with the barley and carrots.
The horses watched all these prepara-
tions with great interest, and were
'.correspondingly elated." as the elec-
ton DISPATCHES say, when the bags con
tanning the appetizing mixture were
hung on their noses. They proceeded to
eat with much gusto, and the Chinaman
turned to frugal luncheon of his own,
consisting of an onion and Il piece of
dry bread.-portland OregOnian.
