Equal Taxation.

EDITOR SUN: Allow me to call the attention of your readers to a subject of great importance to them, and one which has heretofore received but little attention. A great deal has been said 7in the past two years, and justly. about the need of economy in the administra- tion of county affairs. It seems to me
 equally desirable, at least, that fair and equitable assessment of the taxable wealth of the county should be made.
 It is notorious that the sO-called heavy taxpayers of the county have been for the most part it's light taxpayers in fact: and many small property owners have been as negligent, to use the mildest term possible, in making their returns for taxation. It seems to me we have already allowed this evil to exist too long, l believe our board of supervisors would be willing to do it's
 who.e duty, but it is very hard for them to overthrow the precedent of years in
 such matter without some assurance of approval from their constituents. To this latter end, petitions will be circu- lated in Flagstaff and Williams within few days asking that the board of equalization comply strictly with the law in fixing the value of property,
 without favor to any individual or in-

stitution. From personal investiga- tiOn can testify that the assessment this year is a much fairer one, on the whole, than those of the past few years at least, and in many instances where property has been given in at too low figure the assessor has made notation to that effect. It only remains now for the citizens of the county to give the needed endorsement. and l am satis- fled the board will give us an impartial equalization of the taxes. This is an evil which exists everywhere, it Is true. but there is no reason why it should not be remedied. Let every good citizen lend his name and his in- huence to this much-needed end. Very respectfully, FRANK c. REID.

FOREST AND THE PAR.
SON.

Oae of the fercest and most deter.
mined fighters in tie OWL war was
General n. B. Forest, commanding the
Confederate cavalry His name was a
redoubtable one. aud few of bis oppo-
Lents we're aware of humorous side
OF his dis position familiar to his friends
For many years the general loved to
tell the story Of an incident wkioh
occurred near Gowao's station.
The few troops be bad With him we're
being botly pursued by the fede:als,
aud the general was gallopiog along
at top speed. A fe.y southern dame
happened to be standing by the road
side, and when she ssw the flying con-
federatc officer her indignation boiled
ever. Shaking her 6ss in scorn, she
screamed
"Wby don't you turn aud fight you
eowsrdly rascal ? If old Fcrcss we're
here, he'd make you fight !"
Fortunately the generals horse soop
carried him out Of range.
Forests biography relates that osoe

80 Make Paper of Cotton
Seed Hulls.

To an Atlanta man belongs the
distinction of having discovered g
process by which the common cotton
seed hui! can be made into paper al
shout one half the cost of the manu-
facture from wood pulp
The inventor is Robert Thomas
formerly superintendent Of the Glen
dale paper mills, and Col w A
Hemphill Mr Thomas is at present
a resident of New York city, and has
already interested several we'll known
capitalists in the enterprise with tie
result that $5,0O0.o0o company is
to be organized at Trenton. n J
for the purpose Of erecting large
plants in various parts of the cotton
belt
II ia expected that Mr Thomas
discovery will cut the present price
of paper in hsIf According to the
inventor himself this latest consum
nation of the cotton seed bull about
exhausts the use of the cotton plant
Mr. Thomas was for many years in
the paper making business in the
south and few months ago, while
operating small mill in Florida, be
learned the chemical action which
will reduce the cotton seed hulls tc
pulp Realizing at once that he mad
made an important discovery, be dis.
posed of his plant and devoted the
entire proceeds of the eale in pur
chasing machinery with which tc
prosecute his experiments
The cost of producing the new
pulp will be about one half the cost
of manufacturing the wood pulp Its
tensile strength is said to be very
much greater than wood fibre, which
makes it invaluable for bags and
wrapping paper
