prominent position in the worlds COM

more interest than those of coffee are To-

vested, both in the production of cochi-

tatlon. While Spain was the ruler of the

IT Is matter of record that during the
last half century over 500 100000 was paid
out In OaNaca to the cochineal producers
which probably does not represent more
than one-tifth of the price paid by tn.

In Memory of William Treweek.

Minute adopted by Mineral Point
Lodge No. |, Free and Accepted Ma
sons concerning the death of William
Treweek:
We, on our own behalf, and on
behalf of the lodge which we repre-
seut, desire To testify to our deep
sense of, and unfeigned sorrow for,
the great loss this lodge has sustained
in the death of Brother William
Treweek
During many years he has been one
of the foremost and earnest sup
porters of this lodge.
Ever faithful and diligent in the
performance of the duties devolying
upon him, he filled in manner that
commanded the admiration of his
brethren, all of the offices to which he
was appointed and elected.
Constant in his attendance at lodge.
he showed himself an example of
Masonic zeal and dev otion.
Temperate and upright, just and
charitable, honorable and honest, in
all of his transactions with his fell
lowmen, he showed the practical side
of Masonry in his daily life and con-
versatiOn.
Impressive and dignided in the rem
dering of the ritual, he showed how
the man was merged in the Masonic
message, and the fire of intense feel
ing made the words shine and burn.
1t is eminently fitting that we
should bear this testimony to his
character and service,
To his family, we tender the assur-
ance of our profound sympathy, and
we heartily commend them to the
never failing compassion of the
Heavenly Father.
Resolved, That this minute, adopted
concerning the death Of Brother
William Treweek, be spread upon the
Records of this lodge, published in
the city papers, and copy, under
the seal of the lodge, be sent to the
family

Sed valuation of the taxable property of the
state as u university fund, The last state val
uation was $500 100000. aud the above rate on
this sum amounts TO s2550 600 which the univer-
sty has been receiving annually under the
present law.
Assembly Bill No. 20, which has passed the
lower house, and which supported, provides
for specific sum instead of certain per cent.
ON the assessed valuation of the property of
the state. viz: S26s,0o0 or 1900 more than the
present fund This increase was thought
necessary rs everything in connection with the
University is on the increase, and, in order TO
effect the desired change in the law, the sup
porters of the bill conceded TO the increase.
That the change from "A certain percent to n
specific sum is desirable change to the tax
payers must be apparant at sight. To Illus
trate: Valuation of property is subject to
change whenever, in the opinion of the State
Board of Equalization, the assessed valuation
of the property needs to be raised, the uniyer-
Sity fund would increase in proportion. We
will suppose that the state valuation of prop
erty be raised in the near future from s6oO,0o0.-
900 TO $500 600 600. which in the opinion of COM
petent judges would be a just valuation, then,
under the present law, the University would
receive the benefit of an additional 80 per cent
or nearly S13i, 900. plus toe S255, 600 under the
present valuation. Hence the change in the
law for which this bill calls must be egis-
laton in the right direction.
