easily reach this amount, which is exact

CUT DOWN
Abstracts Of Assessments From
TwenN.Hght Counties Show
Reduction Of $4,000, ,OOO. 900.

Abstracts OF assessments OF twenty
eight counties have already been filed
with State Auditor John Holmberg.
When compared with the abstracts filed
last } ear for the same counties they are
found to be e4.OOo.O00 lower than the
same counties were valued last year.
From these figures it is apparent that
the threats OF the county assessors to
retaiiate on the state board Of cqualiza-
tion have been carried out.
There are tfty-nine counties in the
state and nearly half that number VI
assessors have already reported.
At the state house it is said that the
state equalization board, sh:ch meets
in October to pass on the assessments
made by the assessors. will raise the
valuation placed on all personal property
to the limit Of the law. 10 per cent 1t
has power to do this and will do it. it is
reported.
The action taken by the assessors was
caused by the failnre OF the equalization
board to do its duty in assessing the
railroads. it is claimed. The assessors
claim that the bosrJ made the assess-
ments at ridiculousIy low figures and
that they have had to tax personal
property at very high rate to make up
the deficiency thus created.
The abstracts already filed with the
figures OF 1902 Tor the same counties sre
- foIlowe:
Estimating from the abstracts already
filed. the valuation OF the several coun-
ties in the state will be from el5! 900 600
to e2O,O0O.9 800 Ices than in 1872. This
will mean q corresponding decrease Of
revenues and the state officials think
that the revenue will be lowered to such
an extent that not more than e25.000
can be paid on the 100000 appropria-
ton made for the Worlds Fair.
Governor Peabody may now carry out
the threat he 10 said to have made 10 the

TUNNEL CONTRACT
MAY BE LET SOON.
Sisners May be Cut off at an
Early Date.

From letter received from ]. F. Kyle.
OF Montrose, Monday, it seems that
signers will not have much more time
to secure shares in this mammoth irrigat-
ing enterprise. Those who have not
sufficient water when this enterprise is
begun are likely to never have it.
it will be long time before another
Gnunison tunnel will be constructed,
consequently those who need tn. water
and have not sig ned for the same will
certainly lose their last opportunity
when this contract is closed. up and
from all indications but short time is
left in which to do 60.
The following is Mr.. Kyle's letter in
regard to the matter:

Delta, Colo.
Dear Sirs:-On next Saturday / in
tend making supplementary report to
the secretary OF the interior OF the sub
scriptions that will have been taken
since the regular report went IN and
deem it OF the greatest Importance that
all who want to sign be in before make
that report for from a conversation had
with Mr.. Fellows by P. T. Stevens last
week it is altogether probable that a
contract will be let for tunnel that will
carry water sufficient for the land sub
scribed for in addition to the land re-
served by the government and no more,
and while that proposition would be all
right il it would only reach the fellow
who refuses to sign. still when we con-
slider il tunnel is constructed that
will not carry water for all the land in
this valley that has not sufficient sup
ply now then all the land in private
ownership not subscribed for can never
have sufficient supply of water and
can never produce and can never be a
place to build homes, then the PROPOSE
ton is serious. So everything you have
send in on or before Saturday.
Respectfully,
j. +. KYLE, Secretary.
