COUNTY ASSESSORS
Agree on The Basis Suggested by the COnn'
ty Clerks Association.

The assessors Monday adopted the
recommendation Of the state asS0cla-
tion of county clerks, and decided to
assess all personal property at iJs
actual value, deduct the constitution
al exemption and divide the remainder
BY three. The resolution was as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That all taxable personal
property be assessed at its actual
value: that from the total assessment
the constitutional exemption Of $500
(whers the party assessed is entitled
TO it) be deducted, and one-third Of
the remainder be the assessed Valua-
tiOn.
The method Of assessing last year
was to list the property at one-Ihlrd
of its cash value, and deduct the legal
exemption. The effect Of this meth
I'd was to exempt many who under
the plan adopted this year will have
to pay taxes. For instance, under
the method of assessing last year, a
person with $500 worth Of persona!
property would be assessed on a basis
Of one-third or $500, and the legal
exemption would wipe thai nut.
Under the plan adopted for this year,
the same person will have TO pay taxes
on $l33B.
Should all the counties in the state
adopt the basis recommended by the
county clerks association, the result
will be a uniform assessment which
will 90 far towards wiping out the
many evils practlced in the past under
the Kansas assessment laws. Under
the plan, sumner county's state taxes
will be increased.

upon Monday is three times what it

that some archaeolOgistS tell US is the

City now has about 5000 population.
Last summer the population num-
bered 5000 1t is expected to reach
6OOOO this summer. The price Of food
was very high last summer, and is
three timas as high this winter. The
prices next summer will depend, Of
course, upon the amount Of food taken
there and the number Of people to
consume it, As almost every person
is going with the expectation Of hunt
ing for gold, it is not improbable that
the few who are smart enough to en-
gage in the mercantile business will
be able to command enormously high
prices for everything, and the price
of food next summer may outreach
the pric, shis winter.

MONIANA'S SHAME.

Already the eastern press is speaking
of Montana as n rotten borough"
when mentioning the result in this
state. IL was zoo much TO expect that
the Republicans would be able to wipe
out Mr.. Bryan's majority of four years
ago, but there was every reason to hope
that with Democratic disaifection in
the populous counties the aspirations
of Mr.. Clark would be nipped ia the
bud. But there is where he developed
his greatest strength and spent the
bulk OF his money. If Mr.. Clark is
satisfied with this kind of n ''vindica-
ton" il Will afford some relief. How
ever, if he still insists on representing
the state in the federal senate there
should be further protest on the part
Of the sclf-respccting citizens of Mon
tana, and this should be given cmpha-
SIS in the form Of memorials and per-
sonal appeals to the members Of that
august body. Should the legislature
choose him then Montana's dirty linen
will again be washed before the civil
lied world and our people subjected
10 ridicule and derision. II Mr.. Clark
has any respect for himself or the peo-
pie Of this state ne will retire from the
political arena and give way to cleaner
men. II he remains in the fight il will
be evident that he wants to reap the
profit from his large expenditure of
money regardless Of the welfare of his
party and the people of Montana in
general.
Although Joseph X. Toole has
pledged that he would serve his full
term IL elected governor, he would be
the best man the Democrats of this
state could send to the United States
senate. And the party has others
nearly as worthy Of the honor. Let us
hope that il viii rise to the occasion
and name some one in the place of w.
a. Clark To represent Montana in the
United States senate. II would at least
rcmoyc some of the disgrace placed up
IN the state by the multi-millionaire.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF FERGUS COUNTY.
JAMESTOWN, MONT, Nov.ll, 1900.
TIE RESULT n THIS STATE.

The overwhelming victory for Clark
and fusion in this state can be attrtb-
uted TO two causes, the expenditure Of
a vast amount of money and the eight
hour day concession. While il was not
possible tn remove both Of the causes
n should have been eliminated from
the campaign by the Amalgamatcd
Copper Company. As the ARGUS stated
editorially some weeks ago il was not
an unjust or unreasonable demand on
the part of underground workers. At
that time we felt that unless this con
cession were made the Clark forces
would have a great following among
the mincrsof silver Bow and other min

One gratifying result Of the contest
in Fergus county is the election Of
James b. Washburn, the candidate for
Commissioners ON the Republican ticket.
Owing to the fact that Mr., Washburn
was engaged in building operation, and
anxious TO take every advantage Of
fine weather he was unable 10 make a
canvass of the county and become ac-
quainted with the voters. lie did not
leave Gilt Edge in the interest of his
own candidacy and did but little work
in his own behalf in that camp, yet he
received 100 votes in that strong Demo
cratic precinct. Mr.. W~ashburn's sue
cess should give him further satisfac-
ton for the reason that as a merchant
and a business man, he could not, like
many others, get along without MAX
ing some enemies, who took the chance
10 get even because he was 4 candidate
for a public office. We have known
Mr.. Washburn for seventeen years and
have always found him square, prompt
and honorable In all of his transactions.
Another thing, nc man could ever
question his Republication, When
men left the grand old party by hun
dreds in this county, carried away by
Organism and the phantaey Of free sill

PROTECT THE TRIES.
They Should be at Once Treated by an
Effective Spray.

Herr Daniel i. Bandmann, the
famous orchadlst Of Missoula, upon
being consulted as to the cause Of the
dying foliage In nearby cities and
towns, warns people to look well to
their trees and recommends formulae
for sprays which he says are sure
death to the pests.
The following is the first of Mr..
Bandmann's recipes: Kerosene, >
gallons, water, | gallon; hard soap
J pound. Make IA suds nf the soap
and water and pour boiling hot In
the Kerosene. Churn with force pump
or large syringe, pumping out OF or
into a bucket or barrel through a
nozzle until completely emulsiiied.
Ii the mixture is sufficiently hot it
will thicken in from D to 10 minutes
and will be, when cold, Of the con-
sistency Of buttcrOrsoft soap. Dilute
with TO II parts Of water to one
part OF emulsion, as occasion re-
quircs. This kills almost any kind uf
plant lice. 1t should be well under
stood that ii onc quart of the cmul-
sion IL Ised from I to T. quarts Of
water should be added to il. II the
emulsion is prepared according to
directions it will keep for months.
After preparing the spray the liquid
Is applied In the usual manner,
usually by means OF a force pump.
The preparation outlined above is
for use during the summer months,
when the trees are in foliage. Then
there is another wash which should
be- used during the months OF NOvem-
Der and March. This second prepara-
ton Is applied to kill the eggs which
are deposited on the bark during the
earlier months, and which, ii permit
ted To remain undisturbrd, will prove
n deadly foe to the health Of the tree
during the following year. Herr
Bandmann's formula for the winter
wash Is rs follows:
Unslaked lime, . pounds; sulphur
pounds; stock salt, . pounds. Stake
the lime and then add the sulphur,
after which boil over IA brisk fire for
one hour. Then place the salt with
1t in "a boiler and boil for fifteen min
utes more. Then add six gallons OF
water and use at n temperature of
100 degrees. Before using strain the
mixture. II n large quantity Of the
emulsion il desired double or treble
the quantity Of the material and for
each pound add a gallon OF water.
This preparation and its use Herr
Bandmann declares To be of the ut
most Importance.
1t would he welliorthose who have
tenderly cared for trees upon their
lawns Tor years, and which are now
gradually succumbing to the pest
which is upon them, to heed the
warning. The sprays herein out.
lined are inexpensive and are easy oI
preparation and application. \ few
hours devoted to the matter at this
time will result In preserving II tire
which next spring may be dead.

The Pathfnder's Trip.


The Herald says: 1t is stated that
the trip of the Pathfinder to Hilo is
by direction of President Mckinley
upon the advice of Senator Clarence
Clark of Wyoming. 1t will be remem-
bered that Senator Clark made two
visits to the Islands last year and on
both occasions came to Hawaii. While
having interests in Honolulu. the
strong card in his interests in the ISL
ands is conferred in his relations with
Col. Sam Parker. The combination on
Hawaii of which Senator Clark is a
member expects to do a great business
in Hilo, and he realizes the necessity
for better shipping facilities, so that
vessels may go alongside the dock
The influence of Senator in this re-
spect is more weighty than that of =
dozen Representatives, and the genial
Senator from the cattle ranges of Wv
oming may be using his for Hilo and
this Island. The logical exhorter for
Hawaii in Congress would be from
California or Oregon, but the peonlp
here will not object in the least to one
from the sage brush country, particu-
larly If he be as close to the Admins
tration as is Senator Clark.

e, Hitchcock passed through HlIo
on Monday with some elopers. from the
Oiaa plantation in tow, whom he had
caught to the north of town. He re-
ports the runaway tendency pretty
strong in Olaa, and says there have
been about hundred escapes from
contract duty in the last few months.
There is something of a candy famine
in Hilo on account of the Honolulu
quarantine. Pringle has about reached
the end of his three hundred pounds
holiday supply, and the young man
who can keep his best girl in candy
these days will probably prove the
devotion of his pocketbook as well as
his heart.
Mails from Honolulu for ports on this
island as far as Ookala were landed
at Kawaihae on Thursday. 1t is diff
cult to understand what right the
steamers have to land Honolulu mails
at any ports on this island. 1t is still
more difficult to understand why
to others. Are the latter more subject
to infection than the former?
The Hilo Sanitary Committee have
finally come to the conclusion that per-
haps the sputum ON stamps and en-
velopes is not so dangerous after all,
and mails will be received here-if they
come. At present they seem a little
shy about seeking our shores, and a
sad lack of information relative to the
outside world will probably be for
some time the penalty of our exclusive
ness.

HILO, Jan. 2S.-The Tribune says:
The multitudinous burnings of the Ho-
nolulu Board of Health, and the natur-
ally favorable conditions of the eli
mate together, must have wonderful
ly depressing effect upon the plague
microbe, otherwise it would not have
failed to take advantage of the many
leakages in quarantine regulations
caused by the continuous shifting and
vacillation at this end of the line, and
the free and easy methods of dealing
with ingress and egress at the other
end.
1t is certainly nothing less than
amusing to learn that when the Kinau
on her last trip returned to Honolulu,
with her load of freight rejected here,
a great roar wentup from the authori+
ties there against allowing this same
freight to be landed at the place from
which it originally came, on the
ground that it was dangerous stuff and
never should have been handled and
shipped at all. The chickens that came
home to roost looked much sicker than
the chickens that left at dawn. We dare
say the whole system of quarantine
and of intercourse between the Islands,
as looked after at Honolulu, has been
of the slipshod fashion, that would
have caused the hands of Honolulu to
be raised in horror had the plague ex-
icfnd OF nfh ivX
been the objective point of vessels sent
out with goods and passengers from
such infected point.
/ AS far as we in Hilo are concerned
we wake up every morning with a diff
! ferent idea of what is and what is not
required in the way of quarantine. This
is probably caused by the revolution
of the earth upon it's axis. One day
we consider it dangerous to even allow
a vessel from Honolulu to appear above
the horizon. The next day we are
willing to receive almost anything, ex-
