JOHN SPARKS EXAMPLE.

In these days Of tax-dodging capt.
talists it is refreshing to find at least
one man of wealth who prefers to pay
his full assessment, even when he
might avoid it without being guilty Of
arv overt dishonesty or prevarication.
This man is John Sparks, the we'll
known cattle breeder OF Reno, Nevada
When Mr. Sparks received notice OF
his assessment IN Washoe few days
ago, relates the Carson Appeal, he
found that his cattle had been valued
at $50 a head, while the estimate made
on his thoroughbred bulls was at the
rate OF $1oo each AS Mr. Sparks
keeps nothing but the highest grade
stock, he knew these figures to be far
too low. Instead of pocketing the
difference and eongratulating himself
on the leniency or inexperience of the
assessor, he promptly notified that Of
fetal that his appraisement was too
small. He declared his cattle to be
worth every cent of $40 head and
his bulls not less than $500 and he in
sisted on being assessed at this rate.
In placing his reputation above his
pocket Mr.. Sparks not only sets fine
example Of honesty. but he demon
strates his sound business sense. He
keeps only the highest class of cattle
and he realized that to have them list
ed at an insignificant price would place
him in a false lioht. In short he ap-
preciated that his reputation for hon
esty and integrity was worth more to
him than the dollars he might save by
keeping his mouth shut Nevada ha:
every reason to be proud of such {
citizen, and if there were more bust
ness men like Mr. Sparks in the coun
try, the state treasures would be full
er and assessment rates far lower.
In the majority OF cases tax-dodg
ing is looked upon as matter OF sci
protection. A few dishonest men al
through pulls and sometimes throug
corruption, secure an under valuation

thoroughly did he believe that mind

Washington Says Beers Can Pur-
chase Here II They Want to.
London, Feb. 20.-The action of the
House of Representatives at Washington
in passing a resolution to inquire into the
question whether the United States has
broken the treaty of 1871 by permitting
supplies to be purchased for the forces
In South Africa, created more academic
interest than practical concern.
The war office officials regarded the pos
sibie effects Of any future action in the
United States as being Of small import,
as about all the mules and horses requir-
ed for South Africa had already been Sc
cured.
To the Associated Press correspondent,
Lord Cranborue, under-secretary of state,
to-day expressed the belief that the end
of the war as an active campaign was
now in sight, and that within a few
months military operations in South Afri-
ca would assume that stage which, for
four years, has marked the waT in Bur
NAH, which wore itself out without al
tracing particular interest in Great Brit
ain or elsewhere.
Lord Cranborne produced from the files
of the foreign Office copy of the treaty,
where 1t has peacefully reposed since the
days when the Alaskan matter stirred
both countries, and pointed out that
mules and horses had never yet been
classified as contraband of war. So far
as supplies go, the eff .ial maintained that
Crest Britain has not secured from the
United States anything which would come
under the head of military supplies"
which is the wirking OF article six In the
treaty. He added:
IF timed beef and so forth are the
supplies referred to. why. Il Is true
enough. Bat, 1t would seem impossible
to stop the trade of the two countries in
these commodities, simply because we
are at war with the Beers. Even If ship
ments from America to the Cape were
ints-dicted, the direct trade between Eng
land and the United States,
would continue with exactly the
same result so far as we are
concerned. although probably with
less profit to the American seller"
Another somewhat interesting feature
pointed out was EGG and's express re-
fusal, noted In the treaty. to accept as
q principle OF international law the rules
which Article vi imposes on neutral gov
ernlnents.
las a matter OF fact said a foreign
office official, I'VE have found to our cost
that contraband Is what each nation

determination OF the American House OF

might possibly develop much needed unit

MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE.
May Soon Have Entire Charge of
FIOridn's Quarantine.


Jacksonville, Fla, Feb. 2O.-Hon. w. e.
Henderson, president of the State Board
of Health, win leave Tampa tonight for
Jacksonville TO attend the annual meet
ing of the board, which will be held in
this city tomorrow.
This meeting of the board will be full
of interest and importance to the people
of Florida. mainly in view of the radical
changes now in prospect which may
mean the adjustment of the board Pres.
ident Henderson, in his annual report, will
recommend the acceptance of the offer of
the marine hospital service to buy the
state quarantine station equipment at
Mu-let, KY, in fact there appears 10 be
no other course open. as the government
has ordered the state TO vacate the
premises.
AS the government charges no fee for
fumigation, it is evident that the state
could not continue a station in the bay
as in the past. The state has been oblig-
ed to charge for the service performed
at the fumigation stations, and by this
means the system has been practically
self-supporting.
1t appears probable that the Marine
Hospital Service will take entire charge
of the marine quarantine affairs. leav-
ing the state to care only for internal
affairs. President Henderson thinks this
will be very good solution of the mat
ter, If the government win place DR.. j.
Y. Porter, our state health officer, in
charge of the service for this section.

NEGRO MINERS ENTOMBED.
Thirteen Caught in Flooded Mine az
Tuscaloosa.

TUSCALOOSA.
Tuscaloosa, A.a., Feb. 20.-As a result
OF the giving way of the wall the Asylum
mines here We're flooded this afternoon
and thirteen negro miners are now en-
tombed in ten feet OF water. it is thought
with little prospect of being rescued. The
surrounding waters run into the mine as
rapidly as it is pumped out. When the
first rush of water entered the mine eleven
miners were able to get out.
The accident is attributed to a miner
who was digging coal c.ose to the wall of
the abandoned shaft which has been filed
with water for some time.
Suddenly the wall was pierced and the
stagnant water rushed in upon the men,
hemming in thirteen of them who were at
work below the break. The other eleven
managed to escape and reach the surface
There is large force of hands at work
pumping the water out of the mines, but
little progress is being made, as 1t fills
up almost as rapidly as it is pumped out
The fate of the entombed miners is prob
lematical. 1t is thought it viii take from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours TO clear
the mines.
At present there appears practically no
hope for them unless air reaches them in
