Assessor Finally Completes the Work
Of Assessing City Property and
Result Shows Small Gain.
TOTAL ASSESSMENT SIC, 582, Isl.
Assessments of Personal Property Remain
Nearly the Same as Last Wharf.-The
First Ward Leads In Realty.
(From Thursdays Daily

After many delays the work Of MAX
ing the valuation of the taxable prop.
erty ia the city was finally completed
public the figures this morning. The
total assessment for both the real and
personal property is $40, 540,o22, Of
which $7,657, 87l is classed as real
property and the remainder $2,582,751
is the value Of the personal property.
The valuation shows slight increase
over the values returned by the asses
sor last year, the total amount for 1902
being $40, PSI, 404.
The small increase ia the values of
property in town came as considerable
Of surprise as it was announced early
ia the summer that the increase would
be nearly two million dollars and it is
only little over $280,O0O. With the
the increase in the state tax for the
year it is certain that the assessment
will not allow the raising of any
more money for the uses of the city
than last year ard the aldermen will
be forced to face the old subject Of
raising the levy or. running behind on
money for another year. There is al
ways great deal of talk about an in
crease in the levy but it is probable
that the customary one per cent levy
will win out when the time comes for
the council to make the levy.
The increases that have been made
over last year are exceedingly small
and in most cases the assessment of
both personal and real property re-
mains the same. Some of the indus
trial plants in the city have been
slightly decreased while one or two of
them have been slightly advanced.
It is impossible to tell what will be
done with the figures as submitted
when taken up by the board of review
but it is not thought there will be any
material changes.
The greatest interest is always taken
in the assessment of personal property
and to this end a table has been pre-
pared showing the taxpayers in the
city who are assessed at ten thousand

Now Pesshing had previously sprained
his ankle, and his only concern In the race
was caused by fear that his ankle might
give way. The speed Of tho two men as

until the expected happened.

WASHINGTON, May 3o.-Capt John j.
Pershing of the Fifteenth Cavalry, who has
won fame by his remarkable success in
pacifying and governing the hostile Moros
OF Mindanao, in the Philippines, is one Of
the most popular officers of the army. He
is West Point graduate and an all-round
athlete.
The Moros are similar in many respects
to the North American Indians and admire
strength. skill and daring. Pershing is
tall, well formed and wiry, and when at
West Point was sprinter Of reputation.
While serving in the West number Of
years ago. he was greatly admired BY tho
Indians, and at least on one occasion proved
himself superior to the best Navajo athlete
in a footrace.
The story is an interesting one. PERISH
ing was stationed near the Navajo and
Moqui reservations in Arizona In 1890.
when Gen. Morgan. then Commissioner Of
Indian Affairs, visited these Indians. PERISH
ing was In command OF a small escort
which went with him to Keams's Canon
to attend a council Of the tribes he was
accompanied by Capt. Chauncey Baker,
who had been his classmate at West
Point
While waiting for the council to begin
they sat on a large stone watching the
Indians at their games. The Navajos were
wrestling, racing on foot, racing their
ponies and pole vaulting. It was holi-
day occasion and the Indians were enjoy
ing themselves hugely.
One finely formed Indian saw Pershing
sitting on the stone. and approaching said
something to him In the Navajo tongue.
The Navajo Interpreter, Chez, who was
with the party. was asked what the Indian
wanted.
HE Is challenging Capt. Pershing to
wrestle with him. said Chez.
Pershing looked the Indian over and
observing the grease upon his body re-
piled to Chez
Tell him that he Is too dirty to wrestle
with q white man.
When this was interpreted tho Indians
who had gathered around sent up shout
OF derision at the expense Of the Navajo
athlete The latter was not slow to reply,

with him, and II l am too dirty al he has to
do Is to keep ahead Of me-
Tho Indians now laughed at Pershing and
Chez explained to him that he would have
to run the footrace or lose caste with the
Indians. who appeared greatly to admire
him.
Pershing accepted the challenge and
preparations were made for the race. A
triangular course was laid out, with three
stakes 100 feet apart. Pershing stripped
to the waist and put on pair Of moccssins
20 that he could run with greater ease.
The Navaios gathered around ard offered
to wager on their man against the white
CAPTAIN. The American officers sndeavored
TO avoid making bets but were told that they
must appear to have confidence In Psrslnng.
