State Tax Commission Assesses
Baraga County at
$4.560, ,997.
THEIR FIGURES ATTACKED
When the State Board Of Equali-
zatiOn Re-Convened
Monday.

The state tax commission has de-
livered to Secretary Hammond OF
the state board of equalization its
figures showing the estimates of the
cash value of most of the counties
of the state. The commission has
made no percentages for counties,
taking the position that townships
and wards are the proper units. 1t
has, however, given the equalizers
percentages showing the relation
of the assessed value OF each town
ship and ward to the actual value as
fixed by the commission.
In the figures submitted Baraga
county is fixed at cash value of
"a, 1859, ,997. The valuation as fixed
by the board Of supervisors for
1901 was 81, ,361, ,929. Thus it will
be seen that the commission almost
doubles the assessed value as fixed
by the supervisors.
LATER-In a statement of the
equalized valuation OF the state as
determined by the board Of
equalization and given out Wednes-
day, Baraga county is put down at
50, 700, 900. The equalized valuations
of other upper peninsula counties
are as follows: Houghton, $140,-
600, 900; Keweenaw, $4,000, 600;
Marquette, $3O,OOO,OOO; Ontonagon,
IS, 200, 900; Luce, s2,OOO,OOO; Iron,
SO, 900, 900; Delta, 80, 400, 900. The
equalized valuation of the state is
81, ,57S, 100000, as compared with
81, los, 100, 900 as equaIized FIVE years
ago. This is an increase OF $473,-
600, 900.
A Lansing dispatch says: Fiji
teen counties were represented when
the state board Of equalization re-
convened Monday afternoon and all
of them had been heard when the
session ended at night. The meet.
ing was the last open to the public.
The rest of the sessions were execu-
tive. At Mondays meeting the sta
tistics of the state tax commission
were fiercely attacked by the repre-
sentatives who claimed that the
work had been done in a slipshod
manner, and that the representatives
OF the various counties could not oil
necessity do as thorough work as
men who have lived for years in the
townships aId counties. In a sharp
| passage at arms between Chairman
Robinson and Commissioner Sayer,
the latter stated that the Hougtor
supervisors come no nearer to living
up to the law than the common male.
factor on the streets. He was re.
minded by Land Commissioners Will
dey that it is the duty of the com
missioners to see that the law is
obeyed.

of State Warner TO the effect thai

to allow the board and commission
to attend the funeral OF the presi
dent at Canton, was adopted.

oHlo's UNDERGROUND RIVER.
Mighty subterranean- Stream Flowing
 Across the Buckeye State.

From, the Indianapolis News.
 r Roaring wells in widely separated parts of the State indicate the existence of q mighty subterranean river that flows across the State at depth of compara- lively few feet below the surface, at least at certain places. The latest of the roaring wells Is at Chardon, suburb of Cleveland. The men have refused to work In it. and plans are being made to dynamite 1t.
 The phenomena are exactly the same as those noticed in a well on the farm of Mrs Amanda Ensminger, near here. When this well had been dug to depth of about fifty feet the roaring noise be- came alarming, and during the night the bottom fell out and left an opening into a subterranean stream that was so swift that 1t was impossible to sound 1t.
 The wells at Chardon are evidently on the same underground river, for the phe. nomena are identical, and indicates that the mighty unseen river extends across the State from north to south.

USE A soBERINe MACHINE.
Pennsylvania Town Has Springless
 Cart for Relief of Tlpay Villagers.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 The 'Tattler' recently met a quaint and amusing old gentleman who told of a cu- rous institution for which wide use could be found. He said: "A portion of my life was spent in a sleepy Pennsylva> mia town which has grown little in the course of a half century and still pre- serves many of the quaint customs of it's earliest days. You will find in this idyl- lie retreat counterparts of all the celeb rites who figure so delightfully."- in Miss Mitfords Our Village In my boyhooe it had an institution which distinguished 1t from all sister villages, an institution quite unknown to modern communities. It was called the sobering machine. This consisted of a rude, springlesS, two wheeled vehicle. with a board body, drawn by a motley assembly of bummers and roysterers, old and young, who can always be summoned in country place . on the slightest signal when anything ex- citing Is in the wind When one of the rather numerous town drunRards was discovered in a favorable position, the sobering machine was slyly backed up to the curb. the victim was quickly pushed into the cart, and then pulled through the streets over every possible obstacle by the jeering mob that manned the ropes. The victim, 1t was assumed, was jolted, jerked, and thumped into semi-sobriety by this rough riding. At any rate, few of the town loafers who had tested the tonic virtues of the sobering machine yearned for second dose. Many of the noisy, ragged crowd who helped to dras the sobering machine over Its devious route had themselves taken similar trips. The rude apparatus, I suspect. did more for the cause of temperance in its day than the more gentle and respectable methods of promoting the reform. The appliance was carefully housed. and ah A the bloods In town knew where 1t was to be found Sometimes 1t figured in pa- rades and when bedecked and bediRned with flowers, flags, and ribbons, 1t at- tracted almost much notice as the lit- tie sputtering hand engine which was supposed to do duty, at haystack fires"
