ONE OF THE SAND cATcHERs.'

sands of tons of sand are carried to
and deposited there.
Engineer Atkins is not altogether
certain of the wisdom of building the
bulkheads OF wood, for says he:
The heavy seas kicked up by the
winter gales, together with the great
mountains of ice which pile up along
the coast, damage the wooden sand
catchers considerably. What ought to
be built are stone bulkheads."
But historic Cape Cod is not the
only coast line which has to fight with
the relentless ocean for existence. 1t
seems that Great Britain is constant
ly suffering from erosion by the sea,
and that her island domain is con-
stantly growing less. There is some
thing alarming in the thought, but the
statements of engineers that 1t takes
hundreds and thousands of years to
make any appreciable difference in the
coast line is reassuring. Wherever
oceans or lakes roll their waters, or
rivers flow. there is a steady alteration

Board.

Some Figures From the State Tax
Board.
The state board Of equalization at
its recent meetings raised the valua-
tion on considerable property that
comes under its Jurisdiction. Only the
cotton mills. cotton oil mills, fertili-
ger plants and one water power COM
pany are assessed by the state board.
The state board has added 1886. 760 to
the taxable value Of these three classes
of property. or course a great deal Of
this amount was due to the natural
development and growth Of the cotton
mill business in this state. 1t Will be
interesting to note how much Of the
taxes of the state the cotton mills, cot
ton oil mills and fertilizer plants gen.
orally pay. The final valuations as
valued by the board are as follows:
Cotton mills, s24.904,386: oil mills,
$1,674,OOO: fertilizer plants s1,944,727.
These figures show a net increase for
the tax department of 1905 over 1904 as
follows: Cotton mills, $2,705,117; oil
mills, s339,45O; fertilizer plants, $751;
1873. It makes a decided difference In
some counties to Have these industrial
items added to the taxable values. The
following figures have been furnished
and show how much the taxable values

fertilizer plants in the counties named

moved from bench to bench and from

tical knowledge which grounded his
success. AS he passed the workers, ne
never failed to nod a greeting, some
times even addressing individuals by
name and making inquiries which
showed an intimate acquaintance with
numerous families and their affairs.
AS a matter of fact, John Kennard
knew almost every man Of the 800 in
his employ. To his mind, this was the
most important detail Of his business,
and in It he took more than business
interest.
There was no need for any one to
enter upon long explanations with the
boss. He wasted no time by inspect
ing the wrong things, but went straight
to the point. Brisk as his movements
were, his work was never hurried.
Sureness of purpose and practical expe-
rience made thoroughness and dis
