BOARD. RAISES ASSESSMENTS
EQUALIZATION Board Recommds 0ener
al Increase All Over the Stcte.

After lively session with Mimi
eeota business men, the state board
of equalization raised the assessment
on goods and merchandise III HEM
epin county 20 per cent. Ramsey
was increased % per cent, and st.
Louis county IS per cent. .
The following appeared in the
Minneapolis Journal Sept. 80; -' ,
The committee on goods and mer-
chandise reported yesterday morn
ing IN favor of an increase of 80 1-3
per cent, which would have put
Hennepin $4,000, 900 above last
years assessment. Emerson Cole Of
Minneapolis asked that action be
postponed up.n afternoon, in order
to grant a hearing to merchants in
terested. The delegation that came
over was headed by W. L. Harris Of
New England Furniture Il Carpet
Co., who made q strong presenta-
ton. He said the stock in Hennepin
county had been valued on so per
cent basis, and it is not fair to in
crease them. He did not believe
the state reven ues demand any in
crease in present valuation. The
last year had been poor for business,
and values ought not be so high as
in 1903, altho the actual valuation
returned ISL, 500, 900 higher. Judge
Flannery spoke for the Powers Mer-
camille Co., and Geo. D. Dayton, OF
the Datyon Dry Goods Co. said that
the high valuations were putting q
penalty on enterprises and honesty.

The board finally compromised as
already stated. raising Hennepin 4
valuation 20 per cent and making i

The increase made raises the assess
mont all over the state by $5, COB,

FAME or WILLIAM e.. CURTIS
Great Newspap german Rises From Re-
porter to correspondent.

The success which has attended
William E. Curtis, the famous cor
respondent of The Chicago Record
Herald, is rarely attained by news
paper writers. Beginning his Ca
reer in Chicago in 1872 as report
or, he rapidly rose to the position of
managing editor. He resigned that
position on receiving government
appointment as secretary OF, the
South America commission. Mr..
Curtis travelled extensively in, Cen
trail and South America while in
this position, producing several pop
ular volumes as the result of his lit
erary labors. Afterward co.operat-
ing with Secretary of States James
q. Blaine. Mr.. Curtis organized the
work of the bureau of American re-
pubfics, with the result that he was
placed in charge OF that organiza-
ton, and at the Worlds Columbian
Exposition he distinguished himself
by his labors as the executive head
of the Latin-American department.
AS correspondent of The Chicago
Record Herald, Mr.. Curtis travels
have carried him into every section
of the United States as we'll as into
all quarters of the globe. His China
and Japan letters were published in
book form; likewise his letters from
England, Germany and France, as
we'll as those written during his
travels in Mexico and South amer
lea. -
No newspaper possesses the facill-
ty shown by Mr.. Curtis in writing
on any Of the diversified subjects
embraced in his corresp. ndence
and making it luminous: Nor il any
correspondent followed so closely
year after year by the thousands of
readers Of The Chicago Record Her
aid. On his recent trip to the Holy
Land Mr.. Curtis letters have been
read more closely than ever, and
his descriptions of that interesting
section of the globe as it appears to-
day have been quoted everywhere.
