AS has been previously stated in the
SENTINEL, the Board this year was COM
PEELED to make a reduction of 10 cents
in the tax rate levied by it in 1903.
The new law provides for a gradual
reduction in the rate for taxation pur.
poses, but it provides nc means by
which the valuation of property can be
raised to furnish the event neces-
sary to run the county.
The State Board of Assessors at its
last meeting in Carson City raised the
valuation of the Central Pacific Rail-
way in Eureka County less than 8 per
cent, while it requires an average raise
of Ga per cent on all property in the
county. including the railroads, to meet
the reduction of 10 cents in the tax
rate of 1904 under the new law.
1t will require about S1700 for election
purposes this year, and the Board esti-
mates that at the beginning of 1905
there will be about the same amount of
money in the General Fund as there
was at the beginning of this year. which
amount from the first and second in
stallment of taxes will be about $4,000.
The Board has been very liberal in its
estimated expenditures for the schools,
for the reason that some of them are
running behind. The Board desires to
call attention to this matter at the pres
ent time, and to state that at the meet.
ing in October next it may be COM
PEELED in case of extraordinary demands
on the General or Road Funds of the
county, to order 8 cents on the 800
transferred from the School Fund to
either of the above funds. This action
may be necessary because the new
County Revenue Reduction Law pro-
vides that the Commissioners shall not
contract for any debt for which the
money is not in the proper fund to pay
for the
The condition of the several county
funds and the amounts therein may be

Distractions in the Air.

From the New York Tribune.
A current item of news serves as theme
for jocular chatting, but should call atten-
ton to a serious evil of our highways 1t
is to the effect that a man bought small
frame house for trifiing sum, thinking he
had made good bargain; but when he
started to move 1t to his own land he found
his way blocked by overhead trolley wires,
with the result that he had to abandon his
house and lose all he had paid for it.
His predicament may provoke smile. 1t
suggests to thoughtful minds the fact that
freedom of traffic is really much interfered
with by overhead wires. The old-time tele-
graph wires dfshgured, but did not OBJ
struct, the streets, because they were high
above reach. But the trolley wires are
necessarily placed low. so low as to inter
fere with the passage of any vehicle or
other object Of considerable height. In our
city streets military and other parades with
banners often have trouble in going along
or crossing streets equipped with trolley
wires, and run no little risk Of injury
through inadvertently touching live wire
with a banner stan. Trucks carrying pieces
Of merchandise of unusual height meet with
the same trouble. In suburban and rural
districts farmers often find 1t difficult to
drive a load Of hay with safety under q
trolley wire. For the one case Of house
mover thus blocked there are many cases
Of other traffic similarly obstruoted.

Value Of Advertising.

More and more is the value of newspaper
advertising coming to be appreciated in all
lines of business. 1t is most appreciated by
the most successful everywhere. In these
modern days of competition and live bust
ness methods the wholesaler as well as
the retailer, the manufacturer as well as
the merchant finds 1t necessary to adver-
tise. Mills factories, railroads. theaters.
hotels banks, ETC., find that newspaper adj
vertising is the best advertising. Even
churches are learning to advertise The
mosSback business man who expects Gus
toners to hunt him up unsolicited Is rapid
ly passing out of existence. In recent years
no class of advertising has grown more
rapidly than bank advertising.
The manufacturers of breakfast foods
have advertised so extensively they have
binary mill men. to advertise their brands
of -four in the newspapers. something many
Of them never did before. They found their
sales were being materially reduced by the
use of breakfast foods and the various
preparations which have been SO freely adj
vertised and most Of which have little
merit
Newspaper advertising has become to be
a necessity In every line of business which
depends upon public patronage for its ex-
istence. In some Of the cities the theater
managers have abandoned all other forms
of advertising and rely on newspaper adj
vertisements, and are wholly satisfied with
the results. Never before was newspaper
advertising 80 much of q necessity as 1t Is
now.

Apparitions After Death.
Lang, in Harper,s Magazine.

Andrew Lang, In Harper's Magazine.
How are we to explain apparitions of the
dead? The evidence for these was much
less copious, and. necessarily, much less
satisfactory. No coincident crisis In the at
fairs of the dead could, of course, be de-
tected. as In the case of the living. Again,
even If we grant that telepathy between
the living is a fact in nature, ghost Of
the dead can hardly hope to prove his iden-
tity.
To take a case: A young American COM
mercial traveller. alone in his room at a
hotel, suddenly saw his dead sister stand
ing beside him. He rose to embrace her,
but she fed like the shade of the mother
of Odeysseus in Homer. He went to his
distant home, and told his parents. adding
that on the cheek of his sister there was
a scratch which he had not seen in her
lifetime The mother explained that in ar
ranging, when alone, flowers around the
dead body of the sister in the coffin, she
had accidentally scratched the face, but
concealed the mark with powder.
Now II telepathy exists, the mother,
brooding over the memory of the daugh-
ter, might transmit the whole vision Of
the dead, scratch and all, to the mind of
her distant son.

sQUIREs IN THE SOUTH.
The Title, Once Acquired by Citizen
is Carried to the Grave.

From the New York Sun.
1.-THE title of squire, which is rarely heard
in the north, Is still in vogue in the south.
When a man Is elected justice Of the peace
In Dixie he is squire, and although he may
have subsequent titles his old friends and
ne!ghbors always refer to him as squire, =
said southern lawyer who Is attending the
sittingS of New York court for the first
time So
He had been introduced to several attor-
neys as Squire Blank. of Alabama ana ne
was asked by one what the title Signlfed
in his case. He said he was elected justice
of the peace in his town in Alabama at the
close of the civil war. and although he has
been state senator from his district sew
eral times, and is a major in military or
ganiza ton, he Is still squire.
Our people," he continued, ARE given to
lacking a title to any citizen who is at all
active in politics, but they have a sort of
reverence for the old English esquire. which
they abbreviate by eliminating the first
letter.
ct knew a man who refused to be a candi-
date for the office of justice of the peace
simply because he would have had to give
up his professional title If he had been
elected. He was a retired physician. He
was solicited to become candidate by
every voter In the town and was about to
accept when 1t occurred to him that he
would be called squire. and he declined for
that reason alone. He said he preferred
to live and die as doctor.

Canals Not Obsolete.
From Harper's Weekly.


That the canal as a means of inland COM
munication Is by no means obsolete is we'll
demonstrated by the fact that there is at
present under discussion a project for
ship canal from the Rhine to the Danube,
which. If constructed. will prove the most
important waterway in Europe. The propo-
sition involves the dredging Of the Neckar
from Mannheim, where it flows into the
Rhine, to Heilbroun, and thence to Caun-
staff or Essingen and Neckarems, SO that
1t would be navigable for steamers and
barges of considerable draught. The dis
lance would be 10 miles and the expense
Is estimated at about $10.O00,OOO. From
Neckarems to the Danube, a distance of
seventy-one and one-half miles, the beds of
the Rems. Kocher and Brenz, all small
streams, would be followed and there would
be required a considerable amount of ex-
cavation and engineering work, such as
lock construction, which is expected to cost
about $25,000,O00. There would be a certain
amount of water power available from the
various locks and feeders of the canal.
The commercial advantages following the
construction Of such canal are readily ap-
parent-it would bring the various states Of
Germany and other parts of Europe into
much closer relation For example, Bavaria
would be connected not only with the upper
Rhine district, but also with the French
and Alsace-Lorraine canal system, while to
the east 1t would gain access to Russia,
Austria Hungary and the Balkan peninsula.

CARAVAN ROAD 5000 YEARS.
Scenes Along One Of the Most Ancient
Highways in the World.

From ScribnerS Magazine
The road from HONS to Hama runs almost
due north, straight white line cutting
across the green fields. 1t is one of the old
est routes in the world. Caravans have
been passing along it for at least 5000
years. Just as we saw them-long strings
of slow moving camels with their bright
colored bags of wheat.
One could almost imagine that Pharaoh
was again calling down the corn Of Ha-
math to I'LL his granaries against the seven
years of famine. But even here the old
things are passing. Just beyond the long
line of camels was a longer line Of fellah
women, their dirty blue robes killed above
their knees. carrying upon their shoulders
baskets Of earth and stone for the roadbed
of the new French railway. The carriage
road is French, too, and a very good road
1t is Some men were repairing 1t with a
most ingenious roller. 1t was a great round
stone drawn by two oxen. and having its
axle prolonged by a twenty foot pole, at
the end of which bare-legged Arab was
fastened to balance the whole affair. II the
stone had toppled over the picture of the
Arab dangling at the top Of the slender
Flagstaff would have been worth watching.
All along the ride we were reminded of
the past. 1t is fertile soil, but the very
wheat fields are different from ours. Only
few yards in width. they are often of ire
mendous length. l hesitate to commit my
self to figures, but 1t is certain that the
thin, green fields would stretch away in the
distance until lost over some little elevation.
At one place the road was cut through a
hill honeycombed with rock tonabs, which
the hal said were Jewish. Every now and
then we passed q tell, or great hemispherical
mound. built up of the rubbish of dozen
ruined towns, for even as late as Roman
times this was well-cultivated and popu-
lous country. There is now no lumber avail
able for building purposes, and in a number
of villages the houses are all built with
conical roofs of stone. Where the rock hap
pens to be Of a reddish tinge the houses re-
mind one Of nothing so much as collection
Of Indian wigwams; where the stone is
white, as at Tell ct Biseh. 1t glitters and
sparkles like a fairy city cut out of loaf
sugar.
