 The State and county tax rate is 1L per cent. It will be seen, therefore. that in 1903 citizens of Montgomery County paid for State and county taxes $269,77r,71. Tn 1904 they will pay $2s4,429.72, an increase of $14,653.91.
 Discussing the increased property values yesterday, Deputy Assessor Ben jamin, who compiled the statement, said that the figures showed that Montgomery was forging ahead as a manufacturing city.
 Tt mus be considered" said Mfr. Ben . jamin, that in the year several new manufactories have begun business and others, notably the big chemical estab . Jshments,' have increased their capital stock. Then again one of our banks has increased its capital $150,000 and an other has increased its capital $1oQ 0eo. These things. of course. contribute to the tax values of the county. Nothing so emphasizes the progress of Mont gomery as these increases in property values"

MANCHURIA A VAST LAND
Contains Twenty MIlIIoa Of People and Is a
Garden Spot.

The most populous province of
Manchuria is that of Laotung,
which is penetrated by the branch
railway from Harbin to Port Ar
thur. For distance of 400 miles,
extending from the Sungari River
to New-Chwang, the railroad pass
es through a level, well-watered
region, densely crowded with pop
ulation and under the highest
state of cultivation.
The total population of Manchu-
ria is variously estimated from Io,-
100000 to 25,ooo,ooo, but there
seems little doubt that Laotung
has a population of as much as
I2,ooo,o 900 and that the total can
not be much less than 2o,ooo,ooo.
These, however, are largely Chi
nese.
The Manchus are fading race,
their success in arms having, as is
often the case, led to their ultimate
decay, for ever since the estab
lishment of the Manchu dynasty
at Pekin, in 1914, they have been
drawn in large numbers to Pekin
and to the garrisons stationed in
all the principal Chinese towns.
Here, leading comparatively
idle life and depending largely
upon pensions from the general
government for their support,
they have become enervated,
while the quality of those left be-
hind in Manchuria has deprecated
in character. The Chinese, on
the other hand, have gradually
invaded Manchuria until they car
ry on nearly all of its business
and swarm in nearly all the cent
ers of population. Gradually they
are bringing under cultivation the
vast areas of fertile land which
under the Manchus has been de-
voted to pasture or left to run to
waste

waste

On one of the tracts of virgin
soil in the Stockton colonies of
California, in 1903, an enterprising
Chinaman named Sing Kee, rent
ed 200 acres. Planted to pota-
toes this shrewd son of Confucius
sold his crop for $4,000, and
when rent and expenses of cult
walton and marketing were paid,
had 100000 left for his seasons
work. Another Chinaman rented
as acres at $25 per acre, planted
the land to chicOry, and cleared
$4,000. On an island an Italian,
in 1908, produced commission
house receipts showing sales of
fruit and vegetables to the amount
of $I,ooo-the proceeds of one
years crop. Yet the island only
embraces eight and one-half acres.
