Speaking to an Intelligencer man
yesterday afternoon, Assessor Heiskel!
said one reason an increase in assess
ments on personally is not shown in his
report is that he did his work conscien-
tIously and did not carry dead" as
sessments from former years as his pre-
decessors are alleged to have done. He
gave an instance of widow who had
been assessed year after year for $500
personally and head tax for her hus-
band, when as matter of fact the hus-
band had been dead several years and
according to the assessor, her property
would not be worth more.than &75.
'If had known that the board want
ed quantity and not quality, I could
have given It," said the assessor. ~
could see nothing to be gained by re-
cordIng excessive and dead assess
ments, and did not attempt to work
out an increase where there was none"
In addition, Assessor. Heiskell says he
was never able to secure the old books
which would have aided him in his
work: that Collector Hall has made no
changes in the books, and that in the
Main street district there wasn't a
house that returned an increase in pee
sonalty.

IN THE POLICE CIRCLES
Chief Guerin Has Made a Fine
Record.
IN RECOVERY OF PROPERTY
The Best Evidence of the Efficiency O
the Departm ent-Great Falls May
Well Feel Proud of Its
Peace Guardians.

Great Falls, April 30.-A day which
suddenly changed from a promise Of
spring to a wintry blizzard has kept
people from the streets, and even the
vag and drunk are invisible. AS a re-
suit not an arrest has been made to-
day. The police, however, have been
able to add another article to the list
of things stolen and recovered. Sew
eral weeks ago an inmate of Pauline
Bells house on South Second street re-
ported the loss of bicycle, a lady's
wheel. After a good deal of work Chief
Guerin located it on the west side and
traced the theft to one Andy Parr,
who disappeared about the same time.
The shield bearing the name of the
maker had been changed and the
spokes had been painted red to change
it's appearance. The book containing
the stuff that is stolen and then found
again and returned to the owners by
the police is the best evidence of the
efficiency of the department to be had,
and were it published the pride which
Great Falls feels over its police sys-
tenn would be more than doubled.
George JUNG, who is charged with
having thrown rocks at Hugh Ball
with such success that the latter's face
reminds one of hamburger steak, has
been bound over to the district court

tiary

esting historical paper concerning the
attempts to remove the New England
people from the region of their choice
to other countries These attempts
were made between 1885 and 1860. The
first movement of New England peo-
pie was voluntary. People about Bos-
ton moved to the Connecticut valley to
find better soil and better natural re-
sources. immigration from the old
country fell off during the contest be-
tween Charles Stuart and the English
parliament and this was very detri-
mental to the welfare of the New Eng
land colonists for about 20 years. Eff
forts were made to draw them to the
West Indies and Central America and
one colony actually went to Barbados
in 1641. The promoters of this move
ment put forth publications advising
people not to settle in New England on
account of its sterility and harsh eli
mate. The drift to the West Indies did
not last long.
When Cromwell came into mower. he
did not have the sympathy of the New
Englanders, who were very suspicious
of him. They had reason to be So for
Cromwell entertained a scheme to set
tie the Irish question which showed his
hard and cruel disposition. He pro-
posed to depopulate Ireland by sending
the Irish to New England, Virginia and
the West Indies and then repopulating
it with New Englanders. Some of the
leaders in New England actually en-
tertained this proposition favofably,
but Massachusetts put her foot down
upon it and crushed the scheme, for
tunate}y. Cromwell contented himself
however, with shipping several ship
loads of Irish people to the West Indies,
where they nearly. all persisted by the
hostile climate and hard work. A few
New England families went in 1856 to
Limerick, Sligo Bay, Galway and some
other points in Ireland. Cromwell tried
to depart New Englanders to Jamaica
after that island fell into his hands,
but the scheme was a failure The fact
is, in his deportation schemes, Crom-
well was fighting against the destiny
of the American colonies. Had New
England emptied itself into Ireland and
had Ireland emptied its people into
New England, it is possible that the
Irish problem may have been solved,
for the New Englanders would have
asserted their rights under the crown
in rational, irresistible way. and sys-
tematically and successfully backed
their demands with blood and IRON"
With the New England population
Celticized it would have been help
lessly factionized and the -,use of the
colonists, as against England, would
have been seriously weakened. Mr..
Strong, however, contents himself with
narrating the historic facts without
drawing the legitimate conclusions

illustrative of the advantages of WIN
ter feeding.

Henry O'Hanlon expects to enlist in
the naval department and hopes to OBJ
tain an appointment with the Pacific
squadron.
Some of the land which was under
water last week has received a deposit
of from two to three inches of silt

fertilizer, unless it is thick enough
to kill out the grass underneath.
Nicholas Dowen, one of Chinook's
oldest and most respected citizens. died
on Thursday after a lingering illness
of many months. He was 66 years Of
age and native of New York He

STATEHOOD COMMITTEES
The Rest of the Appointments Made
by the Governor.

Governor Murphy yesterday appoint
ed the executive and financial commit
tees OF the statehood committee. The
members of the former are Webster
Street, B. Heyman, Walter Talbot, E
F. Kellner, George w. Vickers, C. D.
Doris, NJ. e. Collins. of Phoenix; w
J. Kingsbury of Tempe; John C. Hern-
don, of Prescott, and NJ. P. Freeman
of Tucson.
1t will be observed that a very larg5
majority of the members are of Phoe-
nix. This arrangement was made not
with the object of sighting the rest of
the territory, but because since the
meetings are to be held, a quorum will
be always available.
The finance committee is made up
as follows:
Maricopa county-William Christy,
chairman; ]. G. Sweeney, G. H. Hirsch-
field, J. L. B. Alexander.
PIMA. NJ. Ormsby, H. B. Tenney,
J. Knox Carrie.
Graham-Frank Dysart, W. H. Hop
kins, Walter G. Scott.

man. W. H. Benson.

Mohave-H. H. Watkins, C. E. Bowes,
E. T. Thompson.
Santa Cruz-Robert Williams, ]. A.
Pascholy, Fred Herrera.
Cochise-Warner, w. F. Nichols, ].

The members of the transportation
committee are C. NJ. Frazier, chairman;
Epes Randolph of Tucson, B. F. Por-
ter of Phoenix, and R. E. Wells of
Prescott.
The papers of the territory are re-
quested to copy these committee lists.
A method by which the visiting COM
mittee may be aided has been sug-
gested to The Republican. Let every
man in Arizona who knows a congress
man write to him requesting his sup
port of the statehood bill. There is no
doubt that every member of congress
is personally known by some resident
of this territory. While it is hardly
possible that the support of all OF
them could be enlisted, enough of them
could be favorably interested to make
the work of the visiting committee
easier.
