TEXAS LANDS OPENED.
Six Million Acres VIII BE Taken by
Actual Settlers.

Austin, Texas. Sept 15.-About g.
100000 acres of state lands, situated
in various parts of the state and here
tofore mostly under lease for cattle
grazing purposes. were placed on the
market for actual settlers under law
passed by the last session of the legis-
lature. today. The cattle men have
been strongly opposed to the sale of
these land and predict that the with
drawal of them from pasture purposes
will work great injury to the cattle
industry of this state.
Under the law which goes into ef-
feet today, the state lands are to be
sold to actual settlers in tracts of from
one to eight sections. The price Is 81
an acre, payable in 40 annual INSTALL
ments, with per cent interest. Each
purchaser must live upon the land for
three years to acquire title. After the
sale of these lands that state Will still
own about 12.OOO,000 acres which Is
under lease to the cattle men.

Ex-Governor Mcconnell, who is in
the city from Moscow for brief visit,
! expresses himself as very much dis
satisfied with the recent action of the
state officers, sitting as an equalza-
tion board, i'm raising the assessment
of land over the state, while making
almost an infinitesimal increase in the
valuation placed upon the railroads of
the state.
Figures compiled by the federal
government" asserted the ex-gover-
nor in speaking of the matter, SHOW
ed beyond any cavil that the railroads
last year We're assessed at only IL per
cent of their commercial valuation.
The figure on the main lines up in
the north was $4,000 per mile, and this
has been increased to $9500 the pres
ent year which figures out by simple
proportion to be just 11.61 per cent,
or an Increase of nearly two-thirds of
one per cent of the commercial valu-
alton.
Meanwhile the land over the state
has been increased from per cent

cent Ill NpONtlllt, anu NelNlt anu ONhtl
property of the farmers of the state
has been assessed up to its full value.
Cows, for illustration, are valued for
purposes of taxation, at SIS per head.
"The assessment of railroads at
| l1.61 per cent of their commercial
valuation, as fixed by the government
| is a trifle over one-ninth of their true
value. Then, to keep the proportion
good, unless the farmer has been as
sessed as greatly more than his share,
| the COW of the poor family that is
| just carving out a home must actual
! ly be worth nine times the assessed
valuation, SIS, or the enormous sum
of $162.
81 understand the land here i'm Ada
county averages an assessment of $13
per acre and even at that was raised
| 10 per cent by the state board. That
makes the land of the county actually
worth. for commercial purposes,
something in the neighborhood of
| SIPS per acre, including the new land
on the outskirts. just being reclaimed
! from the deesrt.
There is some talk, also, of ex-
empting new railroads from taxation

dition to all the other privileges.
There is surely as much reason. or
more. in exempting the land of new
settlers, and of throwing the entire
! burden of taxation upon those pion-
GERS who have bTaved the dangers OF
early days and wrought order out of
chaos, in order that these same rail-
roads and new settlers might have

 The agricultural and horticul- tral exhibits will be attractive features and we want our farmers to come right in and show what can be done all the way from pumpkins to oranges. We want especially to get into communica- ton with all fruit and vegetable growers associations, in fact we want to hear from every one who has anything for exhibit and we will endeavor to arrange classes to suit.
 One of the attractive features of this first meeting of the Fair will be the harness and running races that are now being arranged for. There will be one running and three harness races each afternoon and as $12,000 is being offered in purses and stakes there will un- doubtedly be plenty of good and exciting races.
 The date of this first meeting has been set for December 4th to 9th inclusive and as this is one of the most attractive seasons of the year in the Salt River Valley we hope for a splendid meeting and that every body in the Territory will attend in person or send a re- presentative.

He Biuffed the House

A young American, who had just returned from bonanza hunt in Sonora, where he had appar- ently met with some success, dropped into a local gambling room Tuesday night. A few hum dred dollars of loose change had passed over to the roulette opera tor when the young fellow drew from pocket a wallet, which, without opening, he placed on the red. The ball twirler hesitated. then asked to know what the amount was. "Only few thou sand" answered the youth. "Let Ter go." The young man with the pink shirt hesitated. His hand trembled just a little as he pushed the wallet back to the owner. with the remark: The limit tonight is $20." With a look of disgust the youth replaced the wallet in his pocket and strode flom the place.

The Territorial Fair Commission in assuming the duties of it's office earnestly desires the hearty co- operation of every citizen of the Territory in making the first meet ing a great success.
 The last Legislature appropriate ed $15C00 to be used in the erec- tion of exhibit buildings and the plans for these are now being pre- pared; they will be erected on the grounds of the Territorial Fair As sociation one mile northwest of Phoenix; this Association has raised $30,000 which will be used in paying for eighty acres of land purchased, building a full regula- tion mile track, with grand stand, stables and other buildings and for all purposes necessary to make a success of the enterprise. Work is now commencing on the grounds and will be vigorously pushed until every thing is finished, and as the funds are ample we anticip- ate as complete and attractive a plant as could be desired.
 The appropriation of S75O0 an- nually will enable the commission to offer some attractive premiums and 1t is proposed to make the Fair so general in it's nature as to embrace every interest of our great Territory. To that end we want every individual and every com munity to exhibit any production they wish and the best possible premiums will be offered.
 We will devote one section to a mining exhibit and wish we could get every mine in the Territory in- terested to make a display of it's ore. This being our greatest in- dustry should be one of the lead- ing features of the Fair and we will endeavor to arrange for this display to be cared for permanent ly. We hope to hear from the mining men generally as to the ex- hibit they will make and the space they will require.
 Another leading feature will be the display of live stock. Prem iums will be offered for cattle of the different breeds and So classed that all can find place to enter no matter what kind they are raising.
 We hope for an especially large display for horses; some time ago local horse show surprised every one who attended and we expect the surprise will be still greater when the entire Territory makes

During the month of July the Penn

exactly on the minute of its schedule
every day. The eastbound Pennsyl-
vania Special arrived in New York on
schedule time t%wenty-three days. The
average detention on sever days was
less than ten minutes, due entirely to
conditions for which the train crew
could not be held responsible. The
greatest breach in the schedule was on
