THIRTY POUNDS OF WOOL
Gotten At One Clip From One Sheep.

letter from his mother, who is spending the
summer out in Wyoming, and she enclosed

the price of ordinary wool here this season,
it would amount to $40. so and that grade of
wool probably sold for more.
The sheep was of the Ramboullet breed,
a special highgrade Me:no. and is valued
at $500. The sheep is now at Portland,
Oregon, on exhibition at the Lewis and
Clarke Exposition. The sample of this wool
was left at the Argus Office where it can be
seen by anyone interested. So far as we
know there is but one ram of this kind i'm

WRONGFUL ACTS.

1t seems that some of the asses
sors are failing to furnish each citi-
zen with an assessment blank and
are listing the values of personally,
according to their own ideas. This
is wrong. The law plainly stipu-
lates that each person in each coun-
ty shall be provided with blank
and be required to fill it out and
swear TO it. The law is plain and
explicit. 1t leaves nothing to the
discretion of the assessor. 1t is
mandatory and should be obeyed.
Still, it Is said, some few asses.
sors are disregarding this law en-
tirely. If they are leading to trou.
Bile. The success of any tax law re-
quires that all taxable property must
be listed for taxation. The object
of the law requiring the distribution
OF assessment blanks was 10 secure
the listing of all property, and it is
the only method by which this OBJ
ject can be attained. Failure to OBJ
serve this provision means that all
property will not be listed. This
IS not fair, and the fault should be
Notwithstanding News.
This is not the only violation of
the provisions of the new tax laws
to deceive the people. Everything
IS being done to make them appear
harmless and a good thing for the
Common people. But the Machine
and its assessors are deceiying no
one in West Virginia. The real
and genuine taxpayers Of Preston
county are too deeply interested IN

such violations. They know that
when the new tax laws are put into
full operation that they will have to
