Granite County Assessment.

Helena. July ll.-Clerk J. J. Ryan.
OF the state board OF equalization, has
received from the county assessor Of
Granite county the valuation OF the
property In that county as shown by
the assessment roll OF 1903. 1t shows
decrease in the total valuation of
property amounting to s6l,197. The
total for 1902 was 81 .S53. .701, and for
1903 sl,79l.5O4
This Is caused by the decrease In
the assessed valuation of machinery.
There were increases in many instan-
ces, but the decrease In machinery
more than overbalanced them by far.
The assessment of machinery for 1902
was S179,262. and for 1908 S90,177.
The valuation OF real estate In 1909
was 3267.043. and for 1903 $263,45
The improvements on real estate In
1902 was sl14,599. and for 1903 $780,
673. The valuation of improvements
on lands. title to which is vested In
another than the person SO listing IL,
shows decrease. In 1902 IL was
s94.755, and In 1903 1t is ssS,O77.
The assessment Of mining claims
filed on or patented during 1902 was
s36,354. and for 1903 is $49,079. The
improvements on these for 1902 was
sl50.000, and for 1908 amounts to
100000.

LAST OFFICIAL ACT.
Lincoln Pardoned a Convicted Spy
Just Before He Was Killed.

Abraham Lincoln's last official act
was to pardon a man under sentence
OF death, charged with being a con-
federate spy. Before the civil war
Allmon and George Vaughan were res
idents OF Canton, Mo. Allmon enter
ed the Union army. His brother es-
poused the cause Of the confederacy,
and in due time he became a member
of the staff of General Mark f. Green,
and old friend and neighbor. George
Vughan, after the battle OF Shiloh, un-
dertook a secret visit to his home at
Canton. and was returning to his COM
mand when he was captured and jail
ed at Palmyra, Mo-, but was soon
transferred TO St. Louis There he
was tried by courtmartial. and, al.
though he stoutly denied that he en-
tered the Union lines for other than
the purpose already named, was SEN
fenced to be shot as a spy.
Allmon Vaughan, who was then a
captain in the Union army, appealed
to Senator John b. Henderson to save
his brother. Henderson laid the case
before Edwin NJ. Stanton. who, after
investigation. decided that George
Vaughan was guilty and that there
could be no change In the sentence
that had been passed upon him. Then
Henderson appealed to Mr.. Lincoln,
at whose instance an order was issued
for a new trial. This resulted In a
second verdict of guilty. Again appeal
was made to the president. who or
dered still another trial. but a third
time court.martial pronounced
against the accused mans innocence.
Henderson. however. continued the
fight for the young mans life. II
was in the spring OF 1865. and, In urg-
ing the president TO exercise clem-
ency. the senator insisted that the war
being practically over, Vaughan's par
don would be in the interest Of peace
and Cancellation. See Stanton and
tell him the man must be released"
said Mr.. Lincoln. Il have seen Stan
ton and he will do nothing" protest
ed Mr.. Henderson. See him again,
was the reply. "and II he will do
nothing. come back TO me-" Stanton
would do nothing and early In the
evening OF April l4th Henderson then
again sought the president, whom he
found dressed for the theater. Mr..
Lincoln shook his head when he re-
ported the outcome OF his interview
with Stanton. Then, without a word,
he seated himself a his desk, wrote
few lines on a sheet OF paper and
handed II TO Henderson. IL was an
order for vaughan's unconditional re.
lease and pardon. and II was the last
official act Of the presidents life

GOVERNMENT BUILDING.
The Great Structure is Progressing
WelI-Maunificent Site.

st. Louis, July 9.-Work upon the
giant structure in which the United
States government exhibits are to be
installed at the Worlds Fair, is pro-
crossing well. Many car loads of the
structural steel have arrived and more
Is on the way. The building Is the
largest structure ever built by gov
ernmental authority for any exposi-
ton. 1t is 800 by $50 feet, and $780,
900 was set aside for its construction.
The government building occupies a
commanding site on a hill in the ex-
treme eastern part Oh the Worlds Fair
grounds. Southeast of it lies the high
plateau on which will be situated the
group of state buildings. The build.
ing fronts northwest, and commands
a splendid view of the main exposi-
ton boulevard, which Is a mile long
and 300 feet wide. The grounds sur
rounding the building are generously
treated by the landscape gardener.
On the terrace In front Of the govern
ment building great flower garden
is laid out on either side Of the flight
OF steps 100 feet from side to side,
leading to the main entrance. These
gardens are on a slope so that the en-
tire beds may be seen from the street
level in front of the building. A plat
form As x 1875 occupies space in the
center of the flight of steps, and the
entire flight is to be richly adorned
with statues. Other means OF reach
ing the level of the government build
ing will be a series of zig-zag roads,
with gentle inclines, 80 feet wide.
The general style of the building Is
pseudo classic. The central pavilion
with the colonade on either side, forms
a portico Is feet wide and 254 feet
long. so feet above the general level
of the other buildings, from which a
splendid view is permitted the visit
or.
An attic, Is feet in height, sur
mounts the colonade of Ionic columns,
and this is richly established with
statues. The dome surmounting the
central pavilion is 100 feet in diane
ter, and in a general way is designed
after the Pantheon at Rome. The top
of the quadriga, which surmounts IT,
is ITS feet above the ground. The
sculpture displayed is symbolic OF the
Republic and the arts Of peace.
The building was designed by James
Knox Taylor. supervising architect OF
the treasury department.

AN EXAGGERATED REPORT.
Wrong Impression Prevails as to the
Destruction by Grasshoppers.

Wrong Impression Prevails as to the
Destruction by Grasshoppers.
Bozeman. July S.-Professor r. F.
Cooley, the state entomologist, has
been receiving letters from the east
referring to the dispatches sent out
early this month from Montana, which
have led people to believe that Mon
tana was getting to be a second Kan
sas In the matter of grasshoppers
These dispatches are injuring the
state. On this account Professor
Cooley has given out the following
signed statement, for which he seeks
publicity:
The situation in Montana as regards
grasshoppers is much less serious
that has been reported in recent press
dispatches. While grasshoppers have
been unusually abundant in certain
sections, their injuries have been
much more apparent on account Of
the very unusual weather of the past
winter. These two conditions, which
unfortunately came together, led to
some apprehension in the vicinity Of
Forsythe. The heavy rains of the
past few days have been great ben
eft, and natural parasites have al
ready begun to destroy the grasshop-
pers. The situation is a temporary
one and the property holders in the
affected region should nat be discour-
aged. R. A. COOLEY,
State Entomologist.
