and bonds for five years the commission
estimated the valuation of railroad pro-
perty in 1902 at $217, 1854, O26. BY capital
zing the income from operation from
1892 to 1902 the valuation was found to
be 1920, 341, $50. Having devoted a year
to the most painstaking investigation,
during which they appraised all of the
physical property of the roads, they
now assess the holdings of the COM
panies at 1921, 431, 400.
The point to be determined now is the
rate of taxation to be assessed against
this valuation. If the amount deter
mined by the commission is the full
value of the railroad property, the rate
assessed against that property must be
the rate which the taxes paid on gem
era1 property bear to the full value of
such property. The average rate of tax
alton of the general property of the
state last year was .0117736.

big, red apple, and of these it supplies
thousands of car loads to the Rock

boasts 924,OS6 apple trees, and in the
whole United States there is no record
to approach this except in Washing
ton County, Arkansas, where there
were at the same time-1900-1,5 55,-
900 apple trees; and Washington
County has planted half million ap-

LAMONT SET 'EM UP.
Conductor Got the Best of the Rail-
road Politician in Repartee.

Colonel Daniel S. Lamont who is
vice president of the Northern Pa
cific railroad. encountered a smart
Yankee in the conductor of a train
on which he was returning to st. Paul
after a trip of inspection over the
Northern Pacific system. To relieve
the monotony of the long ride Colonel
and through the train, which was go
ing at a good clip through a pictur-
esque region. While standing on the
platform of a day coach enjoying the
cool breeze and the scenery, he was
approached by the conductor, who po-
Htely called his attention to train rule
No. w, which requires passengers to
stay inside of a car while it is in
motion.
81 hope you will excuse me,
colonel said the conductor, but my
instructions are to enforce the rules,
regardless of persons. Nobody is al
lowed to ride on the platform
Lament loves a quiet joke and, af-
ter looking the conductor sternly in
the eye for a few seconds. replied:
That is all right, conductor. AS vice

face. But you must admit that plat
forms are only made for politicians to
get in on-not to stand on"
A look Of appreciation came into
Lamont's eyes. A good cigar changed
hands and Cleveland's old-time conf
dental adviser passed into his own
car chuckling to himself.

The live stock traffic of western roads
last week was the heaviest of any week
in the past four months The total re-
ceipts were 293,719 head, an increase OF
"a 583 head over the previous week ana
a decrease of only $3.50 head over the
corresponding week of last year. These
figures indicate that the packers are
now operating nearly on normal ba-
sis.
The eastern railroads also made good
gains in traffic last week. feature
was the increase in shipments OF gen
eral merchandise from the east. East
bound shipments of grain last week,
however, were $780, 900 bushels, de-
crease of $50, 900 bushels from the pre-
