Assessor E. 0. Chapman has con-
c]uded his work of assessing the
personal property of this city. The
total valuation, according to his
books, is about $1O4, 900, or about
$l6, 900 less than last year. Mr..
Chapman states that personal pro-
pertY owners insisted on running
down their valuations. and hence
the tax rate of the city will probably
be high for the 1901 taxes. Mr..
Chapman found 81 male dogs and

The owners of male dogs will pay a
tax of 81 each and of females So each.
Judging from the appearance Of the
streets, at times, it would seem that
the Squire did mt get all the dogs
on the list.

Thursday has the following: &C.
H. Hopkins Of Fairfax, who is
prominent in the work of organizing
the farmers, is sure that the time
has come when the farmer must
organize on business lines if he is to
protect himself. The fact that the
farmer must put his products on the
market at the other fellow price is
particularly CALLING to Mr.. Hopkins
He says that the farmers of this
country, properly organized, can do
awav with the present system of
wheat inspection and have the pro-
duct inspected on his farm, which
will force the other fellow to paw
the freight instead Of taxing it on
the farmer. Mr.. Hopkins says that
the farmers of the State are ready
