LINCOLN, July 17.-(Special THE State
Board OF Equalization, with all members
present met this afternoon and began the
work OF eauallzing between the assessment
OF the various counties. While several
persons were before the board today for
an Informal discussion Of the returns from
their counties, the board does not expect
very many people to come in with COM
plants and expects to settle UP the busi-
ness in n short time. Douglas and Nance
counties reported this morning and the
latter was in such shape that It may be
returned to the assessor for corrections
Considerable disappointment was expressed
over the returns from Douglas county,
which showed an increase over the report
OF last year OF only SeO3.O00 From the
reports received from Douglas county dur
Ing the last month II was expected that
the Increase would amount to at least
2,oo0000. Even the assessment OF the mer-
ehandisc was decreased from last years
assessment ard then the State board con-
sldered the figures entirely too low. County
Assessor REED said the reason for the
reduction on this item was that last year
the merchants returned as merchandise
some property which this year they re-
turned as other property. The assessor
saved himself by increasing the valuation
of improved real estate and lots. The
total assessment last year was s2ss49 800
while this year It was 500, 452,5S6. The fol-
lowing table shows the assessment on some
of the important items for this year and
last year:

Eruption at EupoIO.

shortly before my arrival at the islands
there was a severe volcanic eruption on the
adjacent island of Upolo and l took occa-
sion to visit the scene. The natives were
in mortal dread Of after results based on
tradition of former eruptions. Fortu-
nately there we're no native settlements
near the volcano and there was no loss
of life The eruption had subsidized for
some time before 1 went there, and as
cended the mountain with some OF the
natives to get a view of the crater. At
first they were much opposed to my going
and refused to accompany me, but they
were finally induced to do so and the
effect has been to quiet their approximations
very materially since then regarding. the
mysteries of the bursting mountains.
las a rule they are becoming much in
terested in our observatory at Apia, and
stand somewhat in awe of our instruments.
1t will be many years before they can be
weaned from their egotism and self-con-
scious Importance, and until then do not
look for much improvement among them.
Connection with the World.
"A line of steamships run regularly from
San Francisco to Apia and Tatuila, visiting
the islands once in three weeks A similar
line runs from Sydney, Australia, and Auck-
