STORY OF THE ALASKAN BOUN.
DAIRY QUESTION.

The Alaskan boundary dispute which
now creates friction between the Do
minion of Canada and the United
States. thereby involving Great Britain.
concerns the true line between the
British possessions and the United
States along strip of land running
down the coast from the Alaskan PEN
.insula, shutting off the British terri
tory from the ocean.
This boundary line was laid down in

THE EXAMINERS" ASSESSMENT.

The San Francisco Examiner" ap-
pears to be very much disturbed con-
corning the proper mileage assessment
of the railroad properties of the State.
It's reports of the proceedings before
the State Board of Equalization in this
respect are co1ored by running crit
icism, which reveal wantonness of at
tack. Of course. all property assessable
within the jurisdiction of the State
should bear it's just proper lion of the
of the State Government.
That proposition is one iof justice.
Equally to compel any ore piece OF
property to bear more than it's just
proportion is injustice. Soy too, where
property is not assessed for it's fair
share, or not at all, there. is gross in
justice done to all other tax payers. Let
us take the case of the Examiner"
itself, which boasts of IT'S own value
and its capacity financially.
It's assessment for the purposes of
taxation shows that the fixtures of its
office are valued at $500, horses 500,
harness, ETC., $50, wagons $12O, money
$1,000, library 500. typewriters $50.
machinery $4,000, cash register S75,
printing presses $4,000 We thus have
a total valuation of .moveables Of $685.
1856.
Is that the fair assessment valua-
tion. OF. the Examiners" property list ?
At it's own estimate of it's property, is
it prepared to sell for the figure upon
the Assessors books? AS one of its
contemporaries. whichrit rates it's in
ferior at all points. recently sold at
0O0 for what shoulda the Examiner"
sell?
In this matter of fthe mote and the
beam, since the "E5 saminer' is so So
licitous that all property should bear
its just share of the burden of tax
alton, that no other may be burdened
with an unjust share, what defense
can be made of the showing Of the
books that its great presses, its boast
ed equipment ard superior machinery,
with money on fhand on the first Mon
day in March, dts library, horses, wag-
ons, furniture, ETC., its many boosted
costly preset, colorwork machines
linotypes, etc., are all worth no more
than the insignificant sum of $50. 4S5
The State BOARD of Equalization can
not under The law adjust the assess
ment of tn e. Examiner moveables sc
as to require that concern to bear its
just proportion of taxation In order
to do even.-handed justice to the tax
payers gen orally, its only course is to
raise the assessments OF all San Fran
cisco property, a remedy that if APP
piled would undoubtedly bring forth
from the ratepayers of the metropolis
STORM of protest on that ground
that they should not be made an
swerahe for the failure of the Exam
liner" to list it's property at something
approaching a fair valuation, ever
when the allowance is made, which
Assessors indulge in, Of the percentage
off of the actual cash value as base
for assessment for taxation.

A San Francisco contemporary is fill
turned soldiers. The first question re-
lates to the population Of the Philip
pines and the chances there for white
workers In every instance the an
swer is that the country is sufficiently
populated, and that for white labor
there is no room. But this is not news.
OF course, the Filipinos are best fitted
for labor there, and of course there
are plenty of them. Who has ever dis
puted these facts?

The good physical condition in which
the Nebraska, Utah and Pennsylvania
troops returned from the Philippines
does not speak badly for the Luzon
climate. 1t is half suspected that had
the Oregonian troops been as careful
in their habits there would have been
fewer pinched and wan faces among
them. The report is that the Califor-
MIA troops en- route home are also well
to do in bodily health. Some one has
been lying about the Philippines, after
all.

Mr.. Bryan proposes. Have they had

thanks to Pe-ru-na, my vocal cords and
throas keep in fine condition. You see
for yourself how hot the dressing-room
is, and can imagine the change from
this atmosphere to the stage would cause
sudden hoarseness. I am sure that my

these adverse conditions, and I owe it

the Russian position:

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase Of Heart Troubles.
DO NOT Be ALARMED, BUT LOOK FOR
THE CAUSE.

Heart troubles, at least amo0g the
Americans, are certainly increasing
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry Of Ameri-
can business life, 1t lie more often the
result Of weak stomachs, Of poor Dir
gestion.
Real organic disease is incurabIe;
but not one case in a hundred Of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor gestion is because
both organs are controlled BY the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic ana
Pneumogastric.
10 another way, also the heart is
effected b. the form Or poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food There Is a
feeling Of oppression and hesyiness in
the chest caused BY pressure Of the
dnstended stomach % the heart and
lungs, interf aetion /:
Henes discs paipf
breath.
Poor digestion also poIsons the
blood, making it thin and watery,
which irritaiea ana weakens The
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
ton and to insure the prompt assimi-
lation OF food,
This can be done BY the regular use
after meals Of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, Ike
