WILL CAUSE EXTRA SESSION.

The meeting of the state board
of equalization and county assess
ors held in Denver this week, ac-
complished practically nothing,
and the consensus of opinion
among the assessors is that an OK
ira session of the Legislature is now
absolutely necessary.
For years it has been the general
impression throughoutthe counties
of the state that Arapahoe was
never assessed at its full valuation
and this year Assessor Ames threat
ems decrease in Arapahoe's assess
ment of Sl0,000,000. Against such
action there was a protest made in
the way of a resolution proposed
bv County Commissioner Fl. l..
White, of Fremont county, but it
failed to carry.
The White resolution follows:
Whereas, 1t appears that the
difficulty in adjusting the ASSESS
ments to meet the demands of rev.
enue lays between the state board
of equalization and the assessor
and board of county commissioners
OF Arapahoe county; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of
this meeting that the board of
equalization and the assessor and
board of county commissioners of
Arapahoe county, the assessment
of which county appears to have
been unjnstly reduced, restore the
valuation of said county to an
equality with the valuation placed
upon the like property throughout
the state.
According to the statements
made by the various assessors there
will be decrease of S3,OO0,0O0
from present figures. As matter
of fact the valuation of property
should be fixed at S3OO,OOO,OOO, at
least, in order to provide sufficient
revenue.

The TRIBUNE deprecates the
policy of the writer of the commu-
nication which appears below in
continuing the agitation of the
question of water supply. In less
than n month it will be condition

sidered. and that will be time
enough for disappointments il

lasting faulttiuding and quibbling
conduces more to the detriment of
n town than any other factor that
can enter into the business et ono

nothing to be gained by it-there
is much to be lost by such proceed
ure. 1t is in bad odor with all

not necessary to allude, was a party.
The husband and wife appeared at all

As it was an English ship and butter
was not served at many of the meals,
some who were neighbors were delight

spirit Of murderers
When murder is committed any
where in these hills, the water Of this
pool is reported to turn blood red.
Now, when this happens it is warn
ing sign to the villagers, who are the
sgardens Of the pool, to be on their
guard lest the murderer, whoever be
may be and from whatever village he
may come, unobseryed, succeed in
reaching the pool, for the Chin law or
custom is that If murderer manages
to elude the avengers Of blood" (who
are usually some near blood relations of
the victim) and the vigilance Of the
guardians Of the pool and succeeds in
gaining it and washes his hands in its
blood red water, which, as soon az this
occurs, resumes its usual appearance,

peased, be is absolved from his blood
outlines and is thereafter free man.
