Crowds Paying Taxes.

IT would be we'll for any person who de-
sircs to pay his or her taxes today to
bring along a camp-c chair, as it is more
than likely that an hour or two Will be
required before they can get an oppor-
tunity TO pay. The crowds which in
vaded the trcasurer's office yesterday
were so large that it required the services
of two policemen to keep the people in
line Today is the last day on which
taxes can be paid without penalty.

PUBLIC UNTIDYNESS.
National sIovenIiness of the United
states Is Something to Oc-
casiOn Wonder,

The discovery that there is more of
filth, squalor and general sloveliness
in public places and works, in streets,
squares, riversides, docks, quays,
roads and bridges in the United
States than in any other country of
the first, or even second, rank is a
humbling but salutary experience. In
what may be called our public house
keeping, in the outward appearance
and maintenance of places and works
administered by public or semi-pub-
lie enterprise we rank with Turkey
rather than with England or Ger
many. Oriental Japan, tiny Switzer-
land and slow-going Holland stand
far ahead of the United States in
this respect, says writer in the
Forum. Our national sloveliness is
seen in dirty streets and unsightly
water fronts; in ill-kept squares,
ragged sidewalks, and abominable
pavements; in shabby railway sta
tions and embankment walls built
up of rotting sleepers; and in a
thousand shiftless substitutes for
solid permanent works. The unspeak-
able country roads which abound in
so many regions not only illustrate
the existence, but also demonstrate
the folly of this semi-barbarous
slackness of administration; for they
constitute the most costly means of
transportation possible, impose
heavy tax on every farmer and other
resident, and are a clog upon the gen
eral prosperity of the regions they
traverse. Tidiness and the efficient
maintenance of public works cost
more in the first outlay than negli-
gence; but they save this excess
many times over in the end.

ANTELOPE VIBRATIONS.
The "Trek-BOkken" of Early Days
In South Africa Was n Neigh
bOrhoOd CaIF nifty.

This is the name given by the Dutch
zeal migrations of the antelope from
the upper weld to the lower lands,
These removals are described by the
author of "Kloof and Karroo," says
Youths Companion.
In old days these trek-bokken were
a source of the greatest alarm and
danger to the colonist; quite as great,
in fact, as the locust flights. Countless
thousands of antelopes, impelled by
drought and the loss of their more sc.
cluded pastures, migrated from their
true nursery and headquarters into
more fertile districts in the interior
of the colony.
A trek-bokken might be witnessed
for a whole day, and the weld would be
left denuded of every scrap Of pastur-
age. The immense numbers of the
anteIopes literally swept everything
before them, and farmers frequently
lost whole focks in consequence. From
sheer press of numbers the antelopes
cannot retreat, and one has to be care
full to keep out of their way.
AS the leading antelopes feed and
become satiated, they fall back and al.
low those in the rear to come to the
front. But for this provision of in.
stinctive nature the rear guard would
be starved to death, for those in front,
of course, leave not particle of nour-
ishment as they pass. On these occa'
sions the antelopes are wedged sc
tightly that escape is impossible; and
indeed it is actually on record that
lions have been carried along, whether
.hey would or no, in the midst of q
trek- hokken.

AMERICAN GRAIN ELEVATORS.
Development of system In Americs
Oh Scale Unknown Else
where I'm the World.


The farmers of the United States
to-day are sowing corn fields aggre-
eating over S0,000,000 acres, 100000
more than in 1S90-and even the oat
area Is nearly 100000 acres, an in
crease of 20 per cent. 1t may be i'm
possible to sell such a crop immedi-
ately except at loss. Therefore the
imperative necessity for storage IA
cillties has resulted in the develop
ment of the elevator system in Amer
lea on scale unknown elsewhere in
the world, says the Engineering
News.
On Dakota, Kansas or Nebraska
farm where the harvest field may
cover 500 or 1000 acres only a small
portion of the yield is threshed and
placed IN the barn bins. The bulk is
carried to what is termed railroad
elevators located in convenient towns.
these vary in capacity from 10000
to 100000 bushels, according to
their location in the producing dis
trlct, and from them the transporta-
ton company loads it's cars for the
domestic or foreign market. But the
district elevators, as they might be
called, represent only a fraction of
the space for storage which now ex-
lists in the United States. Before it
is loaded on shipboard at tidewater,
cargo may pass through four or
five different buildings, he trans
rn tn n
again to car, as the modern processes
employed facilitate it's handling with
ease and economy.

IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA.
Growth of Industries and Populate on
In the Last Six Years Have
Wrought a Change.

Since 1896 five events have occurred
that wholly change conditions in
Alaska for the better, says the Engi-
neer's Magazine. U) In that year
the Klondike gold discoveries were
made and in 1897 and 1898 a great
rush to and through Alaska began,
resulting in doubling of the popu.
lation and in an output of gold from
the Yukon region to date Of SIS, 00O,-
900. GU In 1898 the Philippine IS
lands were acquired by the United
States, giving Importance to the di-
rect route along the Alaskan coast
between North America and the new
possessions. CD In 1899 gold was
discovered on the beach of the Nome
and this carried 10000 people to this
part of Alaska and resulted in an
output of $j,0OO,OOO in gold annually,
or more than twice as much as all
Alaska had previously yielded. az
The Alaskan salmon fisheries, in
their infancy in 1896, have grown in
1902 to great companies, capitalized
for S2OgOO,O00, and employing 10000
men. 90 Two railroads have been
constructed in Alaska, one of which
in the extreme southeast, costing
$4,OOO,O0o, earned last year over
S3,O0O,OO0 net, and the other in the ex.
IRENE northwest near Nome, little
road five miles long, which earned
$4,000 net. (6) Coal fields formerly
superiicially known have been ex.
plored and investigated, while new
ones of great value have been dis
covered.
