NNOT DRAW PAY ALL YEAR
Assessors Arc Limited in Time to do Their
Work-Opnion by Attorney General.

OLYMPIA. April q. -AsSistant Attol.
ney General f.. W. Ross today render,
an opinion to the auditor Of state in
which he holds that the law does not
authorize As. e,sors in counties whore
they are paid "A per diem, TO keep their
Offices open the year round or draw ii
per diem for more than the time they
are actually engaged in the work Of as.
SesSment.
The attorney generals office was
asked for a construction of the law in
this regard to clear up the question
which ha, been brought up from num-
Der of counties where asSesSOrS have
believed themselves entitled to per
.liem for the full year. The holding is
that the the assessor. according to law,
must begin his work only Us far in aG-
vance Of February | or March | as the
case may be to assure his getting the
liver his assessment rolls to the county
auditor on or before Aug. |.
He can draw his - per diem only for
this length of time. This view is
strengthened, Mr.. Ross holds. by the
act that in the larger counties, where
The WORK requires moip tine, assossors
are paid an annual salary. The coun-
lies in which per diem is paid are
those with Il population of 1000 and
unler.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

BY local applications, as they cannot reach the
deceased portion of the ear. There is only one
yay to cure deafness and that is by conStltu-
uional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucuouS lining of the
Eustichain Tube. When this tube gets inamcd
ng. and when ii is entirely closed deafness Is
the result. and unless the inflammation can bc
taken out and this tube restored 10 its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine eases out of ten are caused by catarh,
which is nothing but the intamCd condition of
the mucuous surfaces.

ReNIVlnG the CurteW.

The people Of Antrim have hailed
with delight the decision Of the town
&C mmissioners to revive the ancient
custom Of ringing the curfew nightly.
AT Antrim, as at great many other
towns in Ulster, the curfew was in
former generations rung regularly ;
but the practice. like that associated
with the maypole, has gradually died
out until now the places where it still
fingers are few ard far between The
action Of the commissioners is based
on purely sentimental grounds They
have simply revived an old custom be-
cause the people like to hear the bell
and are willing to pay for the privil,
eye, as is indicated by the fact that a
sum OF money to pay all expenses has
been banded over to the vestry of the

specimens Of high-class work done be-

were an elaborate iron door grill, a

desks, banjoes, cabinets, iron bed

the highest praise. Richard Barker, a

TOO Much for the Jockey.

James r. Keene, anticipating the
opening of new racing season, went
outside his own wide experience as
an employer of jockeys when he re-
lated a story concerning an over.
anxious horse-owner and particular
ly conscientious rider. The horse
owner had issued full orders as to
the way horse was to be ridden IN
q coming race to a small negro boy,
the only rider he could secure. The
original orders then were added to,
with provisions for all sorts OF emer-
gencies, until the jockey became be-
wi1dered.

The house was dark and though

one Of the servants, it was decided
for lark to try to get in, undetected
through a window opening on the

party forgot that there had been

PAY OF RAILROAD men
THE INCREASE WILL FORCE I'M
PROVED METHODS OF OPERATION.
Pacific Coast Lines Expending Money
Hope of Getting the Erie.

1t seems clear that the railroads will have
TO concede something like a 10 per cent
advance to employees at present receiving
some si0O.000.000 per annum in wages. In
other words. the railroads must prepare
for an addition to their expenses of si5,-
100000 per annum for wages. While no one
questions the justice of an advance in
railroad wages at this time, II will be diff
cult for some roads. now operated. to
advance them even TO moderate extent,
and other railroad managers think that 10
per cent. is more than the circumstances
actually call for. But it is admitted they
have option but to pay, and they will
try and overcome the increased wages by
improved methods of operating and higher
freight rates. That the question is one
of extreme difficulty is plain to be SEEN
nevertheless, it is probably fair to reckon
upon the roads being able to recoup about
one-half the extra wages bill in this way.
The indications are that it will be some
months before wages and traffic conditions
will be moving smoothly. Railroad bust
ness at present is being conducted under
circumstances which entail a tremendous
expense. Practically all the large roads
are short of side tracks at terminals, and
motive power and cars are handling d
very large volume of business with a rush.
The result is that expenses are far beyond
what they would be if the railroads were
properly equipped, as is evidenced in the
blockade at Pittsburg for weeks past.
which is still but partially relieved. Fa-
cilities are being provided as fast as pos
sible I'm the way of charging yards, lay
ing new side tracks and purchasing new
rolling stock. but ii takes time to build
yards and tracks, and rolling stock is very
difficult to obtain in the very near future.
This means that for the next year the rail-
roads cannot hope to make a good showing
in net earnings, for they would be under
the increased wage expense at once, even
before advances in rates can be effected.
and il is safe to say that much of the profit
accrued from this years bountiful crop
and active business conditions will go into
operating expenses. AS a matter of fact,
the railroads employing at present
one man more for every mile of track in
the United States than they were a few
years ago.
