A SPLENDID REMEMBRANCE
Darwin P. Kingsley Provides A
Splendid Offer for Son Of His
Old Partner...-A Testi-
monial to Friendship.

The family Of Edwin Price. postmaster
was most agreeably surprised yesterday
by receiving a letter, the contents OF
which means very much to one member
of the family.
The letter WAS from Oar win P. Kings
ley, formerly Of this city and former
partner OF Mr.. Price, now the third
vice president of the New York Life In
surance company, in which he makes
the family a most desirable offer for the
education of their SOL kingslsy Price,
who is named after Mr.. Kingsley.
The letter states that. il Kingsley their
son is sufficiently advanced 30 that he
can pass the entrance examination to
Lakewood seminary in Connecticut, a
school enjoying a reputation among the
first in the land that, he would like to
undertake his education.
The proposal em bodies that the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Price shall take the full
four years course at the seminary, pre-
pairing him for college. That all his
personal expe nses OF whatever character
shall be borne by Mr.. Kingsley, as il
the boy was his own and il he ahows the
aptitude necessary for full college
course that MIR. Kingsley will undertake
at one OF the best colleges in America
and that thereafter his future will be to
a great extent looked after and safe
guarded by Mr.. Kingsley.
The offer of Mr.. Kingsley is couched
in the warmest friendship for his old
partner Mr.. Price and he undertakes to
confer the benefits OF this most liberal
education upon the SOD of Mr.. Price, in
view of old friendships sake and for the
reason that tho boy bears his name. The
family without any hesitancy will accept
the most kind proposition OF Mr.. Kings
ley, as it is an opportunity that comes
to one boy in thousand and it prac
tcally relieves his parents OF the burden
OF providing a liberal education for their
SON. In fact 1t is more than money can
buy and Mr.. Price and his worthy wife
were overcome almost with the great
liberality of the offer, which will entail
the expenditure OF considerable sum
Of money for an eight year course at one
OF the best preparatory educational IN
stitutions in America to be followed by
thorough collegiate course.
II kingsley is not yet prepared tor en-.
trance to the prep. school the splendid
offer will hold until he is fully prepared.
No finer testimonial to old friendship
and business relations could have been
given by Mr.. Kingsley, whom fortune
has favored 80 we'll than TO have done
what he has offered to do and Postmas-
ter Price fully appreciates the spirit in
which it is offered.
II men of wealth would surround
themselves with boys and provide for
their education, it would seem that no
better scheme could be secured contri-
butive to their happiness.

Give Merchant a Rest.

There is seldom a week passes, and
hardly day, when citizens who are en-
gagged in business are not called upon to
contribute something for charitys sake.
1t is always the merchants who are ask
ed to shoulder this varied and gratuitous
giving Some people seem to think that
they who are in business can pick up
dollars anywhere and ought to contrib
ute willingly and liberally every time
they are asked. AS rule dollars are no
mere plentiful with business people than
with any other. Just remember they
have troubles OF their own. Beg your
money for while of the land owners
and retired men who have plenty Of
money drawing interest. The business
men would appreciate the change.-Wes

SO THE PEOPLE
MAY KNOW

In the matter OF the settlement of the
corporation taxes with the board OF
county commissioners, The Sentinel
desires 10 give just credit where credit
is due, and that is to the majority OF
the board and the county attorney for
the business like manner in which they
faced the situation and solved the prob
lem at little or no loss to the taxpayers
OF Mesa county.
1t is held by the best attorneys Of the
state and admitted by the attorney gen
eral that there was no legal assessment
of the railroads in 1901 and that the 1900
assessment was the last assessment
made by any known legal tribunal.
Without an assessment it is obvious
tha t no collection OF taxes can be made
and the uselessness OF rushing into court
without leg to stand on becomes ap-
parent at once.
At the time that the levies for the
1901 taxes were made by the board OF
county commissioners, they recognized
the injustice and probable illegal assess
ment of the railroad property and at
that time they made their county levy
upon basis OF double the valuation as
assessed against the railroads in 1900,
practically ignoring the assessment
made by the state board OF assessors
They placed themselves in position to
compromise and lose nothing OF the
revenues they had estimated As neces
sary for the conduct OF county affairs.
They prevailed upon the city council
and the board of school district No l to
do likewise, and in the light of recent
events the wisdom OF this action is con
The daily sentinel., 1902-07-01

elusive. This basis was adopted because
of the belief that the valuations in Mesa
county had been by the county assessor
increased 100 per cent.
Subsequent calculations proved that
the total increase of the valuation OF the
property assessed in 1900 was but 80 8
per cent, and upon this basis the rail
road companies have made settlement,
paying to the state, however, a little
greater proportion since they paid to the
state upon the valuations of 1900 at the
full levy OF Al mills on the dollar,
in two for the 1901 taxes. Such roads as
have made settlement have paid exactly
tho same proportion OF taxes as all other
Taxpayers. some papers to the contrary.
notwithstanding.
The assertion made by an evening
paper that e90, 900 was charged against
the railroads on the books of the county
is misleading in the fact that the levIes
were extended on the valuations as re-
turned by the state board OF assessors
which, in some instances, were ten times
more than had previously been assessed
and which the board ignored in making
it's levies. 1t was never the intention OF
the board to require this sum OF the
corporations except in 30 far as the state
taxes were concerned had the assessment
been legal. The county loses nothing
from tn revenues which ithad originally
expected to collect and it has wisely re-
Trained from entaDgling the people in
costly litigation with no hopes OF a
judgment for the county.

done last season in the case of the Atlantic

said that the Princeton team is urging second

CONSUMPTION AND OPEN AIR.
From Advance sheets Of Consular Reports.

Consul General Mason sends from Berlin m
der date of November is. 1901, a translation OF
report by the Imperial Health Office on the
successful results of the open air treatment OF
consumption in Germany. This report was re-
quested for the benefit of the Marine Hospital
Service. and copy has been sent to the Sur
geon General. Mr.. Mason notes that the sue
cess of this treatment caused the erection OF
large number OF establishments in Germany
60 with 5000 beds-in the spring OF 1901 In
almost half the cases the patients had been sick
for less than a year before applying for ad-
mission to the institutions. The average iura-
ton of treatment was 92.4 days for each patient.
Data as to the final results show that OF each
100 patients treated SIT per cent were dis
charged as cured improved. IS per cent left
unimproved. 81 per cent were worse. and one
half of / per cent died The favorable results
were in part due TO careful selection of cases
suitable for treatment IN the institutions.
