BIG TEXAS DIPPING VAT.

disinfecting bath, or, as it is termed,
to ''dip" them. Dipping" infected
cattle into saturated solution of sui
phur in extra dynamo oil will destroy
all parasites. .,
Recently the Fort Worth Stock
Yards company built a large dipping
plant and placed it at the disposal of
the bureau of animal industry, where
the first demonstrations have been
carried out. One of the problems in
regard to the bath was to find a
chemical oil which would not have an
irritating and heating effect upon the
cattle. For this purpose q number of
samples of various lubricating oils
were examined, and one of light spe-
cltic gravity, called extra dynamo, was
selected.
A train load of 81 cattle was
dipped in a large vat of the stock
yard in July last. These cattle were
raised and bred in Texas, and were
infested with Texas fever parasites
at the time of the dipping. The
weather, which had been remarka bly,
to intense heat, and, it being desir-
able not to expose the cattle to the
sun Immediately after the dipping,
they were not passed through the vat
until after sunset. BY II o'clock at
night all had gone through without
a single accident, and they were at
once loaded on clean cars, bedded
with hay and shipped to Rockford. Ill.
OF the 81 cattle all save four ar
rived in good condition at their des-
tination. The casualties were princi-
pally caused by extreme heat during
the first day Of travel and the con-
fnement incident to shipment. A
careful examination showed that not
a single parasite had survived. Most
of the cattle showed absolutely no

day night a valuable horse, which
had been running down for the past

found the liver enlarged to three

The government bureau of animal

of cattle. It is the establishment Of
large dipping watts in the center OF

Nineteen cities in the United States
containing from 5000 to 45, eco inhabi-

average was only So per cent of Portland s

In the publication of statistics OF cities
by the Census Bureau In 1870. it gave q
list of l40 cities. Portland was the ninth
high sat in assessed per capita valuation.
1t was fifteenth in highest per capita ex
psnditure.
There are number Of cities whose
rate CT taxation Is nominally higher
than Portland's, but In all such casss the
assessed valuation Ia so much less than In
Portland that the taxes are lighter. Thus
Elizabeth City. N. with rate Of 2 98,
had an assessment valuation only one
half as high as Portland. Peoria, Illinois.
with q tax rate of 80 on a hundred, and
an assessed valuation of one-tifth that OF
Portland, thus making Its tax much
lighter.
When these figures were taken few
years ago, the New York Tribune said
Brooklyn was willing from excessive tax
alton, yet Its taxes were only sixty per
cent OF Portland's. Its per capita debt
was then $42.50; Portland's was $67;
Brooklyn's per capita valuation was s498,
while Portland's was then 1898. Brook
lyn was raising $3.50 per inhabitant.
Portland WAS raising S193s per inhabi-
tant.
These various figures prove that Port
land is one OF the most highly assessed
cities for taxation In the United States,
and was so when the State Assessors, q
few years ago, began their system of in
creasin0 rs assessed value. Its present
assessed valuation is about 5000 psr
capita, while the average state per capita
valuation is about $3.50, Portiand's being
double. Portland Is also one Of the most
highly assessed cities on personal proper
ty. A few years ago 1t WAS one of the
fret six cities in this regard. Its assessed
value on personal estats Is n early one
third of the total valuation, IS millions
out OF 40 millions. The proportion OF
personal assessment in New York City is
one sixth Of the whole, about one-half OF
the proportion of Portland's.

are not perfectly accurate, but the pro-

WATER KILLS THE ODD PLANT
Of the Desert Land Rapidly
Becoming Thing Of
the Past.

Phoenix, Ariz.-The placing of waite,
on the arid wastes or Arizona land and
| the consequent evolution from desert to

| strangest plants in all the world.
! At recent session Of the territorial
| legislature the cereus giganteus the
giant cactus. better known as the
saguara peculiar to the soil of this terri

Arizona. Not many years will elapse UNI
til new choice will be made neces-
sary.
t. When the first Franciscan fathers
journeyed north from Mexico they took
back a report of the great cacti which
covered the plains of the new country.
and told marvellous tales of the food
value of the new pant, of the Indian
tribes who subsisted on the fruit of the
sagura, and Of the wonderful benefits
in the liquor from its sap AS far as
the eye could reach stretched veritable
forests of these great sentinels of the
desert.
Now as the art Of the American has
reclaimed, foot by foot, the miles Of
former desert and the magic water has
made orange, peach and apricot orch
ards and great fields of alfalfa. the
saguara has fallen, and only in spots

odd plant be found 3'1'=
On the rocky, gravelly mesas these
largest of the cactus family point their
canielabra-like arms straight toward the
sky, not infrequently attaining height
of so feet.
The body CT the saguara, sometimes
two feet in thickness, is composed of
thin pieces of porous wood, arranged in
the form of a Corinthian column, COW
cred and held together by the outside
fiber of pale green.
At some distance from the ground large
branches put ont, while the whole sur
face is covered with sharp, prickly
thorns. A large white, sometimes pur-
pie, blossom springs forth early in spring
and ripens into a shaped fruit by
the last of June.
The fruit, the Petahaya. tasting like a
mixture of raspberry and fig, is highly
priced by both Indians and 'Mexicans.
who bring it to the ground by the aid of
a long hooked pole. Part of the fruit is
eaten while ripe and the rest is dried
in the sun or boiled down to a jam.
Until the advent of the missionaries
to the Papago Indian tribe, some 20
years ago, the gathering OF the saguara
was the signal for the most bloody orgy
| Of the year. All of the tribe contributed
| material for the saturnalia, each bringing
| his quota Of fruit to the medicine men.
This was mixed with water and then
