PAYING MUCH TAX
This Is Last Day > Per Cent. Reuuo-

This is the last day ON which the
taxpayers may obtain the per cent
rebate on city taxes, and in consequence
the two city collectors were rushed dur
ing the day. They were unable 10 say
how much they had collected 50 far, but
the amount is expected to reach at least
100000 for the day. which Is in excess
of the amount collected on the same
day last year. The increase is partly
due TO the fact that there was an in
crease of ten cents on the 500 of as
sessed value in city tax rate this year

Washington, Aug. 14-Lieut.- General
Miles, commanding the army, has is,

It admonishes officers and men regard.
ing their duties, and points out the
essentials of a good soldier, specifical.
ly mentioning patriotism, discipline,
physical development, self respect
self-reliance and resourcefulness, also
adding that professional knowledge
is necessary at all times. The general
says that on account of large acces

v SHORT HRlFT
City Rid in Summary Manner Q
Human Vampire.

w. III. Heating, a 'strifin' niger
was arraigned before Judge Mann yes
terday on the somewhat .serious
charge of attempted rape. Upon in
vestigation by the county attorney
that official satisfied himself that the
testimony was insufficient to secure
conviction and the charge was per-
mitted to drop. Heating, however,
is one of the class of men without
whose presence the city can we'll get
along, consequently he was made to
face the court on a complaint alleging
him to be an idle and dissolute per-
son. He admitted that the only source
of his income had been such money
as his wife could earn by leading a
life of shame.
The confession, made without any
apparent feeling of shame or humilia-
ton, caused him to receive a verbal
threshing from the court and prosecut-
ing attorney, after which his honor
imposed the maximum penalty allow
| ed under the law-six months in the
county Jail. Upon his promise to
leave the city at once if given an OPP
portunity to do so, sentence was U.S.
| pended ten minutes to enable him to
! put his promise into execution. To
aviod any possibility of deception,
Heating was taken to the city jail and
there confined until the time had ar
rived for the departure Of the west
bound train and a police officer escort
ed him to the depot and remained
there until he had seen his prisoner
safely on board and the train under
a full head of speed.

SUPPLY OF VICTIMS OBTAINED
BY RAIDS.
SOME OF THE PRICES PAID
Traffic Suppressed in Egypt But
Still Exist in Italian
Territory.

Washington, Aug. 14-John G. Long,
consul general at Cairo, has sent to
the state department an interesting re
port on the slave trade in Egypt and
Abysinnia.
He says that the success of the
government in the celebrated "Shar-
eieh'' case, which was tried at Cairo
in 1899, and subsequently the case
of kidnapping at Luxor, on the Nile,
virtually put an end to slavery in
Egypt.
The suppression of the traffic in
Egypt, says Consul General Long,
has been brought about largely by the
energy and zeal of the 'Slave trade
department" There is still, however,
more or less slavery in the Soudan
in spite of all efforts to check the traf-
fic. Two hundren and fifty-five men
with camels, are employed by the
government to break up the trade in
the Soudan and last year 25 persons
were convicted. Most of these con-
victed persons were shieks OF Rashi-
das, one Of the most troublesome and
dreaded tribes in the Soudan. Activ-
ity against them has driven most of
them east into Italian territory.
The slave trade at Jedda has been
most seriously aroused. The princi-
pal traffic is from Nassau and the
coast to the northward in Italian ter
ritory, Abysinnia, Hodeida and Yemen,
Yemen is noted for the export OF
eunuchs, who are procured from Ably
sinnia. At Jedda there are II vel
to do slave merchants whose names
and depots are weel known.
The prices of slaves are: Male o.
female, IA years old, about $50; IA tt
20 years $10O to $125; 20 to 80 years
$3.50 each. In Medina and Mecca
prices of both sexes rise so per cen
and upward, and eunuchs command
readily from $4OO to $500 each.
Consul General Long states that {
traveller who recently crossed Ably
sinnia entering by the Bitzula route
and leaving by the Blue Nile, report
ed that he had had especially good OPP
p~ortunity of noting present conditions
of the trade in that region. He in
formed Mr.. Long that slavery existed
in that portion of the country under
control of Menelik, but in very re
stricted and comparatively humane
form. Powerful chiefs alone are per
mitted to acquire domestic slaves, who
become, in effect, members of the
household. There are no auction O.
open sales. In the country of Godjam
to the menelik, the institution of slav
cry openly exists and public sale
take place in the ordinary week.,
markets. The supply Of victims TO
this traffic is obtained principally b
organized raids upon the country il
habited by the mixed Shanghai
tribes, which separates Abysinni
from the Anglo-Egyptian Soudan. Du
ing the last year the slave trade d.
partment granted Manumission p
pers to $50 slaves. Mr.. Long says thu
the complete suppression of SLAYER
and slave traffic in the Soudan i
wolves many difficult problems Yet
be solved.

STATE AS BOOMER.
Public Lands To Be Sold At Auc-
ton.

In order to raise needed money and
to create a better demand for them,
the state land commissioners have
decided upon the Inauguration of a
system by which it is believed a large
amount of the states lands can be
sold within a short time. They have
arranged to offer large tracts of the
lands in different parts of the state at
auction and in order to. make a sue
cess of the new scheme propose to
follow the example of all land sales
men and create a regular BOOM" if
cry county will be put on sale and
all remaining unsold at the conclusion
OF the auctions will be leased, provid-
ed lesees can be found.
Although the lands will be offered at
auction, it is not the intention Of the
commissioners to sell any of them at
a lower figure than $40 per acre, that
being the minimum price at which any
may be sold under the law. They think,
however, that by exploiting the field
and inducing competition they can
create a demand where zone now ex
lists and at the same time obtain more
than the statutory minimum price for
much that will be sold. To keep
within the law, not nor than
16O acres of agricultural, or GAO
acres of grazing land will be sold to
one purchaser. With this restriction
it is believed that purchasers will be
found In plenty, as it places it within
the means of poor people to acquire
tracts of good land in such localities
as they may choose, without being
exposed to the danger of having some
rich person or company step in and
buying an entire township to the eX
clusion of themselves.
The first county in which auctions
will probably be held is Carbon, as
there is much agricultural and grazing
land in that county that it is believed
can be sold to good advantage.
The reason for the adoption of the
auction system is furnished in the urg
ent need for money in which the state
finds itself just now. Nearly all thu
funds created for the m~aintainanc'
of the various state educational in
situations are depleted and warrants
aggregating large sums are OUTSTANDING
against all Of them. AS the income
from the lands is the only source o
revenue available, the commissioner
have arrived at the conclusion tina
something must be done with thOs
lands in order that may accomplish
the for which they have bee
retained by the state, and at n sam
time prevent the accumulation of larg
Indebtedness for principals and intel
;, est.
1t is said that large tracts OF Ian
in Flathead county have already bee
applied for and that the state ma,
realize the best possible prices TO
them they will be included in the list
of lands selected for sale at auction
Much of the land in that county 10
which claimants are said to exist
occupied under lease by grazers.
Register Long will act as auctionee
and is preparing to thoroughly adv
tise the forthcoming sales.
