sessed valuation OF the state.
The figure is evidently too low.

five northern counties is $26, 545-

TAX MATTER EXPLAINED
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)

equalization in this matter was
purely mandatory, the statute ex-
pressly stating the manner in
which this ad valorem tax is to be
raised. The various counties are
not called to collect their appor-
tionmcnt on a basis of last years
roll, but are simply notified that,
on basis of the assessment in
1904, they are required to furnish
certain sums of money. The 1905
tax rolls at the time of a submits
sion of an abstract of them to the
state board of equalization, were
in many cases either higher or
lower than the rolls of 1904. This
is explained by the fact that var
ious county assessors have not yet
completed their labors on this
YEARS rolls. Especially is this true
in the case of kootenai county,
where the assessor made affidavit
to the state board that his rolls for
this year were short one million
dollars owing to the fact that he
had SO far been too busy to list a
large acreage which would later
show on the rolls, In the case of
Shoshone, also, the 1905 rolls
show decreased valuation, ow-
ing to the annexation of a large
part of Shoshone territory to Nez
Perez county. The assessed valu-
Iation Of this territory is $I,197,-
637.45. The Nez Perez rolls con-
sequently show corresponding
i increase. Shoshone evaded the
necessity of paying taxes on a
basis of the 1904 valuation, by
submitting to the state board OF
equalization resolution, setting
forth the facts relating to the an
nexation of this territory to Nez
Perez county, and asking the
board to not compel them to pay
taxes on sI,197,637.45 worth OF
land they do not own. On the
same showing the board consider
ed Nez Perez as being that much
richer, and the apportionment was
made on that basis.
The state board raised the as
sessment of kootenai county this
year. Some rather strenuous kicks
consequently arose from that part
of the state. Attorney General
Guheen explains that this raise
was not really raise; that the
1oo5 tax rolls as submitted to the
board for consideration were in
complete, as aforementioned, and
that the board, basing its action
on the assessors affidavit that a
large acreage would later show on
1.-THE rolls, ordered raise.
| Attorney General Guhecn is
preparing an exhaustive opinion
on the subject for submission to
the governor.

Tragic End to Career Of Crime,

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7.-Trapped

aware that his last avenue of escape
had been barred, Milton Franklin
Andrews, who murdered Miss Bessie

tain, Colorado Springs, 10 months
ago and m~urderously assaulted and
robbed William Ellis, an Australian
horscman, at Berkeley, CAL, last
night shot and killed Nuida Olivia,
his last female companion, and then
sent a bullet into his own head, caus.
ing instant death. That Andrews, for
whom the police of the entire country
were searching, was fully prepared
for the tragedy that closed his career
was shown by the fact that he acted
without q moments hesitation.
Having learned that Andrews and
Nuida olivia were living in an upper
dat at Is McAllister street, the police
department last night sent a detail OF
two policemen and two detectives to
make the arrest. Although certain
that the persons wanted were in the
two.room apartment they occupied,
the officers received 20 answer to their
repeated knocking on the door. AT
the moment Of the officers was dis.
patched for an axe, with which the
door was broken open, Andrews fired
the shot that ended the career of his
companion. When the officers gained
entrance to the apartment they found
Andrews lying on the floor, graspinp
his revolver in one hand and a miro,
In the other. The weapon was of 1;
caliber and but two of the cartridges
had been fired. Extra ammunition
was found in his pockets.

Will Oil Railroad Track.

SALT LAKE, Nov. AT a cost of
$75, 900, the management OF the new
Clark road between Salt Lake and
Los Angeles, will sprinkle $4,000
barrels of oil over the road bed along
the entire 10 miles Of track from San
Pedro, CAL, to Salt Lake City. The
work was begun this week and will be
prosecuted during the entire month.
There are now more than 500, 600 gal
Ions of oil at Caliente and lots of it
at Las Vegas and various other sta.
tons along the line. Between Bars
tow and Caliente q portion OF the
road is particula rly sandy and dusty,
q double portion Of oil will be ap.
piled.
Special cars are being employed in
the work. They are so constructed as
to hold thousands OF gallons of oil
and q device attached makes it
possible to sprinkle the roadbed while
the q moves slowly along the rails,
ANA these cars are now at work on
the desert portions OF the Salt Lake
route.
The oiliug Of the entire roadbed is
the largest piece Of work of the kind
ever undertaken. Many roads have
oiled small sections of track which
are in desert countries, but the San
Pedro expects to make its route alb.
solutely dustless during its entire
length, and it is considered that this
feature will attract hundreds OF tour.
