SOME ~BooMHRANo FIGURING.

h Boomerang calls attention Ia
the statement Of members OF the board
Of equalization thAt railroad
10 assessed at fro0 - to 80 per cent
OF Its actual value, and says the board
has raised the valuation of cattle this
year on an average Of 3si per head and
Is urging that the various boards OF
county commissioners increase the
valuation of other property, although
we'll knowing that the property is al
ready assessed at go per cent of its
value"
1t then asks. why should such a
state Of things exist?" The answer
Is easy. 1t doesn't.
In the first place, the state board
has not raised the valuation of cattle
on ar average So per head. Deputy
Auditor Niswander- has figured the
classification of 1903 and 1904 care
fully n finds a net reduction this
year Of So cents per head. However
1t Is believed by the board that the
change In the classification will cause
. larger return of the $40 class and a
consequent increase over the total val
uation Of 1903. The statement that an
increase Of IS per head has been made
u not true.
Again. the Boomerang alleges tha,
the board we'll knows other property
than railroad property is assessed at
% per cent OF its value. The board
does not know 1t, nor does anyone else
The Boomerang 10 careful not to cite

1t Is notorious that moneys and cred

that the lands of the state as a whole
are not taxed above 20 per cent; that

Sheridan county commissioners made

for the commissionsrN Of Albany and

He COMES TO TAW
ASSISTANT POSTMASTER eRIs.
TOW TAKES BACK ON
HIS REPORT.
Claimed Responsibility for Only First
Seven Pages Of the Report and
Practically Clears Members From
Wrong Doing Touching Clerk Hire
Section Of His Report.

Washington. d. c.. March 19.-Fourth
Assistant Postmaster Bristow, In testi-
flying before the house committee on
the postotfice report affecting 1911 men,
bers OF congress. claimed for himself
responsibility for only the first seven
pages of the report, which was sent to
the postofice committee. and said the
other portions were the work Of other
officials. The clerk hire section was
prepared in the office of the first as
sistant postmaster general and that
part relating to leases by inspectors
and others in his own department.
Mr.. brissow practically cleared mem.
bers of congress from wrongdoing
touching the clerk hire section OF the
report by stating that it was the duty
of the first assistants office to ascer.
tain the condition Of the work in an
office where an increase had been rec
commended.
Mr.. Bristow said that he became
sick from the grip January % and was
away from his Office until last Monday.
Inspectors prepared part of the report.

Calderhead and Bowersock of Kansas
from h charges against them and
acknowledged that he knew of only
four cases concerning members of the
present congress in which the law
might have beer violated.
Mr.. Bristow acknowledged that he
had secured unjustiiable clerk hire
in Erie, Kas.. through First Assistant
Postmaster Perry Heath. He could
not look into the cas- because of rules
of courtesy and practice.
Mr.. Bristow refused to answer
whether President Roosevelt knew of
the report under investigation before
it was sent to the house, and Messrs.
Mccall and Burton upheld him. No
action was taken on the question.
After an executive session the COM
mittee adjourned until Monday, when
Mr.. Bristow will resume his testimony.
Mr.. Mccall said the task before the
committee was much greater than had
been anticipated.

Some Actual Results.

The results already obtained by the
experiments are remarkable. There is,
of course a death rate, since some of
the patients who are taken to the is
land are already more dead than alive.
From the actual results, however, Doc
tor Biggs says that he feels justified
in saying that unless a patient be in
quite the last stage of the disease, and
if he have any vitality left, he will be
cured by the new treatment A num-
Der of men who went to the island in
a pitiable condition three or four
months ago have been discharged cured
This does not mean, of course, that
the tendency toward lung trouble has
been removed, but it does mean that
with proper care they will never die
of tuberculosis.

blankets to keep out the cold, but
many of them keep up their regular
walks, nevertheless. Several of them
last year made it their daily custom
to walk a certain distance. passing
around several buildings in very ex-
posed positions on the way.
During several of the storms of last
winter it was almost impossible to keep
ones feet in the face of the wind which
blew from the sea, but the men never
failed to cover the distance.
At times the snow fell or blew so
thckly that their footsteps on one part
of the track would be completely filled
in, so that they must break a new path
on each round, but their enthusiasm
never faltered and they pushed ahead
persistently, when many a strong man
would have found it difficult to keep
his feet. The energy thus displayed
had it's reward. and now. with the
coming of spring. all of these men are
For the weaker ones the summer, or
rather winter, house has been provided
as we'll as the rows of steamer chairs
on the sheltered sides of the pavilion.
The men spend hours each day out of
doors. even if they have to be literally
carried from their beds to do so. They
are provided with comfortable rocking
chairs, while for the weaker ones there
are steamer chairs, and even a form
of cot where patient may be without
effort.
The summer pavilion attracts them
in all but the severest weather. They
are carefully watched to see that they
are property clad. The pink pajama-
like suit is worn over heavy under
clothes, while over this in turn are
placed several folds of soft blankets.
They are never allowed to suffer from
