STATE BOARD ISSUES ORDER
MlssouLA ASSESSMENT MUST
BE RESTORED.
Reduction of Five Per Cent on All
Property Means Big Loss to
the State.

Helena, Aug. 21.-An interesting
into the courts for settlement, as a
result of the reduction of 5 per cent
made by the county commissioners
of MissCula county upon the total
real estate and personal property val.
uation of that county, which the state
board of equalization thinks was
made to keep the county in the fourth
class. BY Looping off oyer $500, 900 the
state loses two and cne-half mills
taxes upon every dollar.
The state board of equalization does
not intend that this sweeping reduc-
ton shall be made unless the board
of county commissioners, acting as a
county board Of equalization, shall
show u other than to keep the
county in the fourth class.
Members of the state board of equal
ization thought it was a pretty good
soula county when lit was discovered
that the assessment of valuation of
railroad sidetracks raised the valua-
ton of property in that county to
a sum over $40 100000 and changed
the classification eff the county from
fourth to third class.
The change of class, however, does
not restore what the members of the
| state board of equalization say was
an unwarranted reduction whereby
the states loses its assessment Of ~
mills on over $500 1000.
BY resolution the state board OF
equalization has called upon Missoula
county to increase it's assessment.
The order follows:
ct is heheby ordered that the as
sessment so reported by the said
county clerk of Missoula county be,
and the same is hereby increased by
adding 5 per cent to the assessed val
raticn of each piece or class of prop
erty contained in the assessment book
of said county, so as to equalize the
assessment contained therein and
make the assessment conform to the
true value of the said property SO as
sessed as aforesaid. That is to say
that said assessment, exclusive of
railroads or sidetracks. be increased
from $6,5OS,32 to $6,85O,S70 and that
the clerk of this board be, and he is
hereby directed to forthwith notify
the said board of this action by mail
ing to the county clerkSof Missoula
county q certified copy of this order

RoAsTs THE FACTIONS.
Roosevelt Declares That He Will Rec.
pgnize None of Them.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 21.-Presi-.
dent Roosevelt today, in no uncertain
terlns, expressed his disapproyal of
fractional differences in the republi-,
can party. Cecil "A. Lyon, chairman.
of the republican state committee of
Texas, called Upon him and explain
ed his side of the controversy which
has arisen among the republicans of
the Lone Star state.
The president stated to him with
the utmost emphasis that no man had
any authority to speak for the pIesi-
dent as regards Texan matters, that
the president was taking no side, for
or against any man or any faction,
among Texas republicans: that, as
a matteryatof fact, the president was
exceedingly impatient with those ne
visions, and IL at in any such states as
Texas or Virginia, in which the re-
publican party is in the minority hut
yet had a chance to do something,
the president felt that credit should
he given to those republican lead
ers who were able to make a good
showing at the polls, and especially
for congressional candidates, and not
to those who spent their time plotting
how they could get delegates Or re-
ceive offices. He told Mr.. Lyon that
he could explain this to all Texans, and
to men of every faction.
The president also told him that
if in any such democratic state a re.
publican congressman was elected it
would amount to 10 in the .presi-
dents mind than anything that could
be done in the way of office, and that
he felt that there was little need for
the recognition of any faction.

Up the Fight.
The Hague, Aug. 21.-The confer
ence at Utrecht between the Boer
generals and the delegates and Mr..
Kruger lasted for three hours. Ac-
cording to some reports, it was rath-
er stormy. At the end Of an hour and
a half the delegates withdrew, leaving
Generals Botha, DeWet and Delarey
together with Mr.. Kruger.
Little is publicly known as to what
took place, but it is understood that
the generals found the former presi-
dent of the Transvaal in no way in
clined to a%cquiesce In British domin-
ion in South Africa, and still clings
to the idea of United South Africa un-
der the Boer flag. Mr.. Kruger is even
said to have bitterly upbraided the
generals for giving up Boer independ.
ence.
The generals returned to The
Hague tonight.

II PROVOKED MUCH COMMENT.
King Has Granted Charter to lncorp'

King Has Granted Charter TO lncorpo-
rate New British Academy.
London, Aug. 21.-King Edward has
granted a charter, dated August 8,
Incorporating the new British acad-
envy for the promotion OF historical,
philosophical and other like studies.
The institution Of the new academy
together with the creation of the re-
cent order Of merit is regarded as a
striking experiment or the part OF
the king and has provoked much com
ment and comparison to the French
academy, which, it is recalled, has
failed to enroll many of the greatest
names in French literature. Salts
faction is expressed that members OF
the British academy r to be called
simply fellows" instead Of the high
sounding French title "immortals."
Both Cambridge and Oxford uni
versities are reported among the char
ter members, but a notable omission
from the first list of names is that OF
Herbert Spencer. .

Commander Pillsbury to attempt to
approach the coast under the cloud

coastguard ships were on the move

flower and the Scorpion were on duty
off the Isles of Shoals and the other
vessels were stationed at more dis
tant points or were moving to and
fro, acting as patrols along the picket
lines.
Just after 8 o'clock the torpedo boat
Bagley was sent into this port to gel
dispatches.
