rails and rights of way this year. upon
sum slightly in excess of $15,54O, 900.
The state board of equalization yester-
day fixed the valuation per mile to be
placed upon every mile Of railroad in
the state.
The board made small! increase over
the per mileage assessment of last year,
and made a horizontal increase of ~
per cent on all roads, with the exception
Of the Big Horn Southern, or Burling-
ton and the Montana railroad.
Before making the increase of 212 per
cent the board reduced the Big Horn
Southern from $4,000 per mile, the sum
at which it was assessed last year, to
$500 per mile.

ing of r. NJ. Pollard, tax agent of the
Burlington, that the road lost $50 900 in
Montana last year.
The per mileage valuation of the Mon
tana railroad was increased from 81 200
of last year to 81, 500 on account of the
belief of the board that there should he

road.
After making these changes in the
Burlington and the Montana railroad

of 21a per cent upon the valuation per
mile of last year.

has Increased about AZ miles since last
years assessment.

for increased mileage.

ton per mile upon all railroads in the

MAYALLEN Wins THE JOHNSON STAKE
Broad and Sullivan Again Fight
a Draw Battle.
PORTS IN q E n E r A /

Should plans mature the two big base
ball leagues will be brought together, says
the Philadelphia Item, and the adoption
of the scheme will sound the death knel
to high-priced ball players. Only Napoleon
Lajoie, according to the Item, will get
big salary, as he stipulated that his $1,000
must be placed in bank. The account goes
on:
IAN idea of the gigantic proportions of
the plan may be cleaned by the fact that
it includes Ban Johnson, Connie Mack.
Charles Comiskey. Col Rogers. Al Reach,
Joseph Hart and MesSrs. Soden, Conant
and Billings, well other magnateS in
the two leagues. 1t awaits the stamp of
approval or disapproval of the other club
owners.
THE plan is said to have originated in
the mind of President 'AP Reach of the
National League club of Philadelphia, to
protect his own interests. While president
of the Philadelphia ball club, limited, he
is also business partner of Ben Shibe
who occupies the same position at the head
of the Athletic club. 1t is only natural to
assume that Reach had some knowledge of
the jumping of the players from the Phil
lies to the American League, and 1t may
be added that the friendship between him
self and Col Rogers was not increased by
ReachS silence.
This plan means the continuation of the
two leagues having two clubs in Phiadel-
phia and Chicago, and the placing of Amer
lean League clubs in New York and st.
Louis. Jimmie McAleer is already making
up the st. Louis team, and should the pres
ent agreement be accepted the entire Bos-
ton American League club will be trans
ferred to New York, leaving the triumvi-
rate in sole possession of the base ball sit
uation in Boston.
Several meetings have already been
held and the magnates of both leagues have
been In conference. Perhaps there Is no
one In the land who could better explain
the object of Ban Johnsons recent visit
to this city than Jim Hart of Chicago.
Maybe Jim" would explain Johnson's visit
to Col. Rogers Office as being purely a
social CALI of the American League presi-
dent upon his former legal adviser"

WITH THE TROTTERS.
May Allen Captured Rich Stakes al
Lexington Meeting.

WAY AiIeh captured h1cn stakes at
Lexington Meeting.
The second week of the Kentucky Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Association meeting
began yesterday at Lexington, Ky, with
three races on the card and a crowd Of
5000 in the stands.
The Johnston stake, for 224 trotters, was
the stake feature of the day. The track
did not dry out we'll and the time in all the
events was slow
A field of eight faced the starter for the
Johnston stake, but the favorite in the
overnight pooling, the sensational Country
Jay. warmed up very lame and was ex-
cused all bets being declared off The race
narrowed down to a fight between Leola
and May Allen. May Allen got the first
neat and Leola the next two. The next
two heats and the race went to May Allen.
j. l.. Druien the half owner of the Trans
sylvania stake winner, Onward Silver,
drove his first race in the Johnston stake,
but remained in the sulky for only three
heats. Thinking that his entry Chase
might do better with a more experienced
driver, the Judges, at his request, substi-
tuted Irwin The change saw no improve
ment in Chase's performance.
The 2.OG pace an. the 2 25 trot went in
straight heats. Today three stake events
are on the card. including the $4,000 Louis
Vile prize and the Mcdowell stake. worth
about 5000.

he has advocated that action. He thinks
all the baseball that fandom wants could
be crowded into five months from May 1

games. That would mean q series Of nine

spective homes In Fort Plain. N. Y. and
Catcher Fred Abbott. who has signed

popular, winning the prize offered for the
most popular player hands down. He played
in no games. His batting average is 2S6
and his fielding average 1854. He led the
team in extra base hits, making twenty
three two-baggers, eight three-base hits
and three home runs during the season.
