Oyama's left and centre continues slowly to

the Russian army occupies a line of defence

Russians yesterday. They moved forward and
occupied a line extending from Tatepjf TO

they will reach the right bank of the Tai-Tse

DIED AT HIS POST
$. P. Fireman Creighton Stricken as
 Ills Train Was Leaving

Tuesday morning when the time ar- rived for the train tO start for Old
 Beach the conductor gave the usual sig nal. The fireman sitting on the station side of the cab usually sees this signal and dOtifies the engineer. But in thls case the fireman gave no indication of seeing 1t, and finally the engineer, sur prised at the delay, looked for himself, saw the signal and started. He got un- der way and as far as the "Y," several hundred feet, when he investigated more closely the condition of his fire man, who was sitting with his head out of the window, and found him bleeding from the mouth. The engineer then gave the alarm whistles, stopped and backed up to the station when the fire man was removed. He was already in a dying condition from hemorrhage, and expired in few minutes. His name was Will Creighton, sent here from Los Angeles by the company six weeks ago, and had no known relation here. Last night, however, cousin, Wm. Benton, from Pasadena, came down and took charge of the body, which had been prepared by undertaken Vessel, taking it to Los Angeles Wednt sday. The cause of death was decided to be hemorrhage of the lungs, though he was a strong, hearty y-lOoking man and the last to be suspected of such an ailment. His age was 26, thought to be from Kansas and mem- Der ot the Firemen's Brotherhood. An accident policy for $500 was found on him, and it Is thought the relatives will try to recover on this.

SI2,OOO TAXES
imperiaps Contribution tO the State and County ln Polls and Personal
 Property, no Realty as Vet.

The Imperial Valley pays tlis year year about twelve thousand dollars state and county taxes, and this on polls and personal property alone, the realty not yet Icing assesrablc lrcause of the title in the government.
 Of this amount, tlGO0 is poll taxes, representing 800 citizens between the ages of 2l and G0.
 When to this k a'ldcd the realty it is easy to see that tlis section will bc a heavy taxpayer, for in a new country like this the personal property is com parativcly small proportion of the whole.
 The property that this, with realty added, represents would be nice start for d new county. and the old county spends a big proportion "f it every time she sends an official to the Colorado river, 100 miles, as ia the late instance of the Picacho murder.
 From the rate of taxation. about 2.35, the reader can estimate the assessed valuation of the property represented by the $lO, 100 personal property tax, as distinguished from the flG0J poll tax This is the richest outside district in the county, outside the city of San Diego, except Escondido.
