subject to the inheritance tax,
finding to that effect.
I'm a large majority Of cases there
is nothing to show that the law has
been complied with, except the state
| treasurer's receipt of payment, which
| in a multitude of files and papers, is
| frequently lost.
1.-The members of the bar will
readily see that in passing titles it
will obviate a large amount Of work
in investigating whether property
which has passed through probate is
subject to the tax, and whether the
same has been paid.
Where estates pass to collateral
heirs and strangers to the blood, adj
| ministrators and executors in many
| instances seem to nave overlooked ex-
emption. This is evidenced by the
fact that about $50 estates in this
state have been closed and this tax
| is yet unpaid. This tax remains a lien
upon the property, which will be en-
| forced, and the final account of the
administrator, executor or trustee
should not be allowed until all Of the
provisions of the inheritance tax law
have been complied with.
I'VE ask a hearty cooperation of
the bar in the enforcement of the
concededly just inheritance tax law"
To Prepare Detail Sheets.
Following this the board will then
take up the question with the state
auditor of the preparation of the de-
tailed sheets, for the purpose of next
years assessment. At the meeting
of the assessors in Olympia a number
of valuable suggestions were offered
by the various assessors, and a COM
mittee from their number was ap-
pointed to reduce them to writing and
send them in, for the aid of the COM
mission in the preparation of the
blanks. Great improvement over the
old forms in facilitating the work of
property which might otherwise be
overlooked IS hoped for.
Boards Difficulties.
Some of the difficulties of the tax
commission can be appreciated when
it is realized that the state of WASH
ington is practically without local
statistics On all subjects. 1t mas been
suggested from number of sources
that the board was the proper one for
the purpose of gathering statistics that
might be of use in promoting the
trade within the state and exploiting
it's resources.
Taking it all in all, the individual
members of the board are reasonably
we'll satisfied with the progress that
they nave made with the difficult and
ever-unsettled subject of taxation.
They made an estimate of the in
cTodSou assessment lIllS year prior "
the returns, and the figures now de-
monstrate that they were not far out
of the way. While they say it is too
early to make an estimate of the in
creased values of property for next
year, yet it is the belief that the tax
rolls will snow a gain which will be
very encouraging.
It will be the first effort of the
board to reach the species of property
which from custom and connivance,
has heretofore entirely escaped. The
board of equalization has demon
strated to the several counties that it
will not avail them to shirk their por-
ton Of the state taxes, for the board
as is shown by the returns, mas not
hesitated to increase those values in
the counties which have been man
testify too low.

RockefeIIers MOI Paupers.

my mother lived here until the day
she died sixteen years ago. She
never knew what it was to want for
anything. And they say we were pau
pers! When my brothers married they
left the old home. John built a house
next door. 1t wasn't so grand a house
as this, but it was comfortable. When
1 married, my mother lived here with
us.
MY father? No, didn't say he was
dead.
John looked after the building of
the house because our father was
away much of the time. But it was
built with fathers money and he came
back and forth and stayed here wnen-
ever he could. Since they have made
mystery out of my father it can
stay a mystery for all I care"

NOVEL CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.
Johann Simon Falls in Tan Pit and
Comes Out Cured.

Johann Simon, a tanner of Ulm,
France, has been cured of a rheu-
matte complaint of several years
standing as the result of falling into
a tan pit. Simon remained in the pit
for more than half an hour before he
was discovered and rescued. He then
found himself completely cured of his
illness, with feeling of regeneration
permeating his limbs. The work OF
tanning at Ulm being carried out by
an electrical process, the local medi
cal faculty is attributing this strange
cure to the combined effects OF the
electricity and the fannie acid in ex
polling the uric acid from the mans
body. Simon's tanning yard is now
attracting hosts of visitors, and al
ready more than 100 rheumatic sub
jects have paid all the way from few
shillings to $40 each for the privilege
of standing in his tan pits.

WHAT 10 READ IN GERMANY.

How the Literature Differs from that
Of America.
The Germans are essentially a readA
ing people-as much as, If not more 20
than, any other In the world. says the
Review Of Reviews. The periodical
literature, however, extensive and
high class as it is, is very different
from that Of England or the United
States, and even from that Of other
continental European countries. In
the first place, it Is a fact that the
rope, the less influential does he fnd
public opinion and the more servile
the press.
The French press has less freedom
than that of England, and the German
less than that Of France. German pc.
radicals differ from those Of the Unit
ed States and England in another re-
spect-they are more infinitely differ
entiated. The Germans have month
lies, weeklies and dailies. and these
are usually devoted to some, particul
lar branch Of literature, art, education
or industry. and there is no publica.

examples Of in this country and in END
gland. 4
If the English and American press
is commercial, and the French artist1cs
the German may be said to be techni-
cal. There is an immense number Of
periodicals devoted to technical indus
tries and handicrafts. The literary
style of German periodicals is not 50
polished as that Of the French, nor are
these periodicals SO attractive mechan1
ically as a general thing, but they are
more honest and reliable than the
French; and, instead of being concen-
trated in the capital or in any other
one large city, they are published at
widely scattered points.

OLDEST OF ALL TIN MINES
Deposits of Cornwall and Method Of
Reducing the Ore Described.

Deposits of Cornwall and Method Of
Reducing the Ore Described.
An interesting description of the tin
mines Of Cornwall Is given by I. G.
Fuller, mining engineer who is thor
ougfly familiar with the deposits and
u low in this country. These mines
are among the oldest in the world. The
phoenicians as early as 800 B. G. had
made their way to the southwest part
Of Britain and discovered tin mines
there. Although the mines have been
worked almost continuously since that
time there Is no immediate sign OF
their giving out.
"Tin is the rarest Of the so-called
common metals" declared Mr.. Fullerl
1.-THE annual output Of the world al
present is $1,000 tons, Of which 5000
comes from Cornwall. Prior to 1875
the number Of tons raised at Cornwall

about one-fourth Of the worlds output!
