Captain ]. M. Wells, assessor O
Canyon county, is a Boise visitor
Captain Wells has not vet complet
ed his assessment, but he ha.
assessed enough property to arrive
ut a reasonable estimate OF the in.
crease in this county. He estim
atcs the assessed valuation OF Can
yon county for this year will be
100000. Last year it was 80
10000.
1 This increase is the result of the
new law relative to assessments.
and IT is expected every county in
the state will show proportionate
increase.
In the course OF an interview
Captain Wells said he had made an
average raise in the assessment Of
land in Canyon county 66.2 3 per
cent. Some land was increased 100
per cent and more, but the average
the county over was about the
figure named. The increase in
personal property in that county
has also been very heavy, The
captain tells OF one mercantile
establishment that was assessed
last year at $4,000 on its stock, |
which this year has been assessed |
at $4,000. Another increase on
merchandise was from $4,000 to
$4,000.

There has been some little COM

SEAT SELLS FOR S35 900.
Record Price for Membership of New
York stock Exchange.

John Henri Townsend, assistant secre-
tary of the Knickerbocker Trust Company
Of New York, yesterday paid $4,000 for a
seat on the New York stock exchange. The
Herald says: Wall streets rising tide of
speculation has created an unprecedented
demand for stock exchange memberships.
resulting in the prices of seats being forced
up TO the highest price on record. The
highest previous figure was $4,000, in 1885,
At the time of the great boom in 1881 the
highest price touched was $4,000.
There were several bidders for the seat
that was bought by Mr.. Townsend.
1t is expected by the officers of the eX-
change that seats will go on breaking rec
ords. and that before long $4,000 will seem
a small price to pay.
AT the close of business yesterday s3S 600
was bid for seat and none was offered at
that price, because, as one of the officers of
the exchange said, none of the eleven hum
dr ed members a present cares to sell. Dur
ing dull periods there have frequently been
seats for sale with no buyers in sight
One of the officials of the exchange said
yesterday that he believed seats would be
selling for $4,000 within ten days, and at
$4,000 before spring.

After the smoke passed off the members

part of the plate was blown off the face

IMPORTANT STRATEGIC POINT.
London Times Discusses Question of
PagO Page Hurb0r.

LONDON, January 20.-The Times, in a
special article this morning. dealing with
affairs in Samoa. after pointing out that
when the Central American ship canal is
completed the possession of Page Page
harbor. incomparably the safest in the en-
tire Pacific, will become a world-important
question: says:
The decision of Chief Justice Chambers
that the Berlin act disqualified Mataafa
must be accepted with considerable reserve,
for that act expressly reserves to the Sa-
means the free right to elect their king and
to choose their form of government. This
right has been so,emnly recognized by the
three powers.
The only obstacle to Mataafa's election
appears to be the promise wrested from
him before he was permitted to leave the
Marshall Islands, to renounce participation
in Samoan politics. This remuneration evil
IDENTIFY owed its origin to Germany, yet Ger
many now champions Mataafa. Nobody ac
quainted with the islands can be surprised
that the islanders uphold Mataafa. The
astonishing thing about the whole business,
apart from the German wolfe face. is that
Great Britain and the United States should
vacant. to allow such a firebrand to be
thrown among the smOldering embers of
Samoan disaffeCtiou-
The part the United States has played in
the matter must be considered in connec-
ton with President McKinleys last mes
sage to Congress. 1t must not be forgotten
that these Islands were. as long ago as
1872. a cherished object in the eyes of
American eXpanSiONiSIS: and even now Ssa-
moa is word TO conjure with through
out many western states. The present sit
uation will not be devoid of benefit if it
serves to convince the three powers that
the Berlin act requires immediate and Tadi-
cal amendment, in default of which Samoa
will always be liable to become the prey
of civil war and a source of anxiety to
the siEnatory powers. 1t may even be, as
was nearly the case ten years ago, the the
