MEN ARE SCARCE.

A scarcity Of laboring men is re-
ported from many points through
out the mining and numbering dis
tricts, despite the fact that wages
continue commensurate with the
enhanced price Of staple conmodi-
ties. The demand for men, owing
to several logging road extensions
and much new railroad work in the
district, is unusually large, and the
present wage scale of So per day
bids fair to hold as the price of la
Dor throughout the winter.

The annual visits of McPhee's
big show have been looked for
ward to with pleasure by our peo-
pie for years past and their enter
tainments have been excellent ones.
This season has improved his COM

given were exceptionally good. The
music furnished on his visits is a
rare treat and is listened to with
pleasure by all. Those present at

The value of the metallic products
OF the year is given at $527,21s,oS4 and

latter class includes, of course, the

Of the metals our pig iron is worth
almost as much as all others together,
the value of last years product being

next, worth $104 1000, 900, and the ST.

Muscles and Brain.

In one of his recent lectures at
Clark University, Prof. Angelo Mosso,
of Turin, averred that physical edu-
cation and gymnastics serve not only
for the development of the muscles,
but for that of the brain as we'll"
1t is becoming evident, he said, that
as much time should be devoted to
muscular exercise as to intellectual
exercise, and children should begin
reading and writing only after they
are nine years old. Muscular fatigue
exhibits phenomena Identical with
intellectual fatigue. Nerve cells show
on the average every ten seconds a tend
ency to rest. It is probable that only
part of the brain is active at a time:
the various parts relieve each other.
The more mobile any animals extrem-
tiles are the more intelligent, other
things being equal, he says.

There Is a good deal of criticism Of
the state tax commission some of
which seems to be well founded. The
expenses OF the field men who have
been out I'm the state looking up valua-
tions OF property have been so heavy
as to excite suspicion, and the accounts
of the commissioners and the expenses
OF their employees have been brought
to the attention OF Gov. Bliss by the
board of state auditors. The allowances
of the board of auditors for the tax
commission for June were S7,f46.O9,
making the cost of the commission n
heavy burden. The salaries and pay
rolls of the office aggregated $4,000;
railroad fare, $367.11; telephoninS,
$12.49; telegraphing, SLIPS: assistants.
$13.O5; livery hire, $560.05; hotel eX-
penses, $099.02 Some OF the field has
been so badly done that 1t will have to
be done over ut heavy expense. The
men were instructed to obtain from the
supervisors certain information to be
used i'm determining the actual value Of
the counties for the benefit of the state
board of equalization which meets in
August. A necessary part of this in
formation is the values of property in
1896 when the last board of equaliZa-
ton met as well as in the present year.
In some cases the field men have failed
TO take the valuations required and
their work is therefore worthless to the
state.

The commissioner Explains.

State Tax Commissioner Freeman,
in an interview with the Detroit Free
Press, denied some OF the rumors
which had been in circulation regard
F, ing the commission and the work OF
its field agents. Mr.. Freeman adj
mitted that he had had reason TO in
vestigate the charges of some of the
boards agents now ascertaining land
values in different parts of the state,
but said that he could not find that
anything was wrong with the expense
accounts, and they were all sworn to.
He says there is a disposition TO charge
state employees the limit when they are
out in the state. and he believes that
while the expense accounts are high,
they are correct.
This work must he finished by Au-
gust next and obviously requires the
hiring of at least the twenty-five men.
The duty must be done and the eX-
pcnse met for the legislature has COM
manded it, and there is no alternative"
