PAY YOUR TAKES.

Taxpayers should not overlook the
fact that next Monday Is the last day
on which taxes can be paid without in
curing the penalties OF delinquency.
According to the new law, only one
half OF the taxes on property need to be
paid at this time, the other half not
coming due till next June, but poll taxes
must be paid in full.
Up to last Monday, with about one
fourth OF the taxes paid, only eleven
payers had taken advantage of the new
law, effecting loss to the county at
this time of the use of s404.e7 for six
months. AT the same ratio the total
loss to the county win exceed $1,000, .
serious matter when II is considered
that II is fully year behind In paying
its salaries and current expenses. Al
ter ell, the saving to the individual tax
payer is very slight, being the interest
on half Of his taxes for the 1rst six
months only, which In most csses isin'
significant, yet II large number were
TO defer the payment till june. ths
county will be seriously hampered for

A Prosperous Colony.

Bishop Judd, Manager of the White

the colony, passed through town Tues
day morning. They were returning to
Lund from Taylor, where they have
purchased the old opera house building

new grist mill and other buildings.
Bishop Judd informs Us that there
are now about fifteen families located In
the two settlements Of Lund and Pres

and next spring there viii be at least
forty. He has himself purchased that
part of the property located around the
former ranch buildings, and viii move
his family out from St. George, Utah,
as soon as the weather moderates.
The affairs OF the colony are being
managed on sound business principles
and are in prosperous condition. A
lime kiln and several residences have
been already built AZ Lund. The or
chard that was set out last spring has
made a good start and II was demon
strated that as fine vegetables can be
raised in White River valley as In any
part of the country. All OF the settlers
that we have met are men Of Intelligence
whom the people of White Pine can
gladly welcome as fellow citizens.
1t may not be generally known, too,
that there have been two residences
built and another is nnder construction
at Georgetown, the branch of the colo

SPAIN WILL DIE HARD.
A Paris Paper says Madrid Government
win Not Surrender Philippines Without
q struggie--Sesaion OF Commission.

Paris, Nov. 10.-The Gaulois says:
It Is certain that the Spanish p,acc commits
sion will maintain the contention that all the
clauses of the protocol must DO faithfully
observed by the Americans, rs they have been
by the Spanish regarding Cuba and Porto
Rico The spanish commission holds that
no division Of the Philippines can be
tolerated and that the sovereignty OF
Spain over those islands will be
maintained. The rumors relative 10 COM

Yesterdays joint session of the peace
commission began at 2:l5 p. m and
ended Mt p. m. When the meeting
opened the Americans presented to
their Spanish colleagues the answer of
the United States to the claims sub
United on Saturday last on behalf of
Spain. The document in which the
American answer was set forth con-
sisted of nearly so sheets OF typewfit-
ten tndbIcTs ~ was ICAatobiou VI
the Spanish allegation that because
the words possession" Ownership"
or cession" do not occur in the
protocol clause touching upon the
Philippine islands, the peace commits
sions have no right to discuss them
here, and that even II they did SO. II
must be in the light OF the alleged fact
of an exterior agreement that SPANS
sovereignty should not be impaired. Il
Is quite safe to say that the Americans
made no new propositions regarding
the possession OF the Philippines, but
confined themselves to n discussion of
the proposals and assertions made by
Spain at the previous meeting. Just
what were the terms Of the American
rcjoinder cannot Of course, be ascer-
tanned.

the loss of Cuba and Porto Rico, and
even the Philippines, is the threatened
secession from Spain of several of the
richest and most important provinces
of the kingdom Of Spain itself, and
this problem is now confronting that
nation. 1t is no longer any secret
that the districts embraced in the

MAN AND HORSE.
An Incident which Nicely illustrates she
Proper Feeling Between
Them.

The wagon was heavily laden with
great bags of meal, too heavily laden
for 4 single horse to draw 1t, one
would have thought but with urging
and feck of the whip now and them
the one horse did draw It.
The wagon turned into Henry street
and half way down the block again
turned, this time into the alley ut the
rear of livery stable. 1t required
considerable Juggling on the part OF
the old horse to pull the load up the
incline OF the alley driveway, but he
did II, and the driver looked pleased
when the back wheels had made tho
rise and settled down TO level ground.
At the barn door 1t was necessary TO
turn the wagon around completely
and back In. Surely, one horse could
not do that. The turn was made
easily enough, but there remained the
backing.
Back up, jim" said the man, pull
ing lightly at the reins.
The horse braced his fore feet and
showed.
The wagon didn't move.
The man got down from the seat and
went around to the back Of the truck
and pulled. "Back!" he commanded
sternly. The horse put every muscle
to the strain. Back" The wagon
moved, this time ut least foot Two
more and the back wheels would be
over the theshold OF the barn door.
"Backw The sternness Of the COM
mand moved the horse to exert his
greatest effort. There was q crunch
of splintering wood and the wagon
rolled back.
Not q blow had been struck the
animal. Only words Of gentle stern
ness had been spoken. And the horse
had done the rest
And when II was all over the man
did not 60 on unloading the wagon
without further thought of the great
obedient animal standing still between
the shafts. He went to him and took
his nose in his hands and patted him
between the eyes and said, Good, old
Jim. You did do 1t; didn't your I
knew you would"
And the horse rubbed his nose
against the mans cheek.
1t is pleasant now and then to see
horse like that-and man.-Detroit
