A sTUpENDOUs MISTAKE
Former Deputy Assessor Russell
johnson Makes Msscalculation
of 1908 City Assessment
of S31 ,335.-Inex
cusable Error.

In November 1905 when the city
council was about to make the tax
levy 1t was amazed to discover that
the assessment of the city had been
reduced from s1.353.73S to s1,017,-
511. The latter amount was certified
to City Clerk Conley by Deputy as
SCISSOR Russell Johnson, as theamount
of assessable property in the city up
on which levy could be made
The explanation given for the re-
1uction was that on account of such
large amount of personal property
being exempt the assessment was ne
cessarily largely reduced. The exact
amount of the reduction was $780,
227.
The council could hardly under
stand the matter, but went to work
and by raising the levy to &c mills
against a levy of 23 mills in 1901
believed they could pull through.
The available revenue with a 26 mill
levy gave them s26,455 or s4.-
6S0.69 less than the council had for
the preceding year.
A few weeks ago in adding up in
dividual tax schedules for 1905, AS
SCISSOR N. n. Smith discovered that
a tremendous mistake had been made
by Former Deputy Assessor Johnson
The amount he certified up to City
Clerk Conley was $311.335 short OF
the amount he should have certified
to or the assessment should have
been $1,32S,S45.
The trouble to discover how suf
ficient funds could be secured to con-
duct the financial affairs of the city,
is nothing to what such a mistake
might have meant to the county. If
all the other business of that office
was conducted on the same loose plan
| there may be a multitude of mistakes
yet undiscovered. 1t Is hardly pos
sible to conceive that a mistake of
over three hunded thousand dollars
! could be made and remain undis-
covered for nearly a year.
1t might be very profitable mat
ter for the county to have expert ex-
animation made of the records in all
the affairs. as is done each year by
all great companies.

SALOON ROBBED
For the Third Time Within Sil
Months burglars Entered the
Pacific Saloon-Did not
Make a Rich Haul
However.

The Pacific saloon on South Sec
ond street near the depot has been
robbed again. 1t seems that bur-
blars and holdups are exceedingly
partial to that place.
On Sunday morning about 1:4O
O'Clock Night Marshal C. C. o'Neil
and Officer Mcfarland passed the
Pacific saloon as Captain O'Neil was
making the regular rounds. The lat
ter noticed that the light that is al
ways left burning just over the big
safe in the saloon, had been exiting
once aroused. Captain O'Neil and
the man with him at once began an
investigation. 1t was found that
every door and window was locked
as usual O'Neil then helped Nc
Farland over an eight foot fence in
the rear of the saloon and 1t was
found that the transom over the back
door was open. Before entering the
saloon Officer O'Neil summoned
Walter Payne one of the proprietors.
anu Stiiel "ateh "oS hOPt O'NA shN
premises until Mr.. Payne arrived.
The saloon was then entered, and it
was found that the transom fasten-
ings were broken on two doors. the
transom over the outside door that
lead into the hall in the rear of the
saloon and the transom over the In
ner door was broken In the same man
ner.
1t was found that nothing was
missing save a forty-five calibre re-
volver that was the property of Dell
Burnell, the bar tender. The big
safe is always left open at night as
money is never left in 1t at night. The
lock had been broken OFF small cash
box in the safe In which Mr..
Kane, one of the proprietors. had
some private papers in keeping. Pos
sibly the burglars carried away some
bottled goods.
Captain O'Neil states that he be-
lieves that the burglar or burglars
were in the saloon when he first not
iced the light out and seeing the of
ficers from the inside the thieves
quickly made their escape through
the rear door before the officers could
get over the big board fence.

Barefooted in Winter

If you saw a person walking with
out shoes or stockings in the snow.
you would doubt the soundness of
their mental makeup. People as
rule care for their feet in and out of
season as the case may demand, but
their eyes can strain and ache, pull
and water and they never seem to
think their eyes are as precious as
their feet. Can you understand now
why people have such strong limbs
and feet and weak eyes when they
grow old?
Between feet and eyes the average
person has more brains in their feet
than in their eyes. If you doubt that.
watch people crossing the street or
dancing.
If you would like your eyes to be
strong spend the care on them you
do on your feet and have them prop
erly examined to be sure they're right

.BEAUTrEs OF FRIENDSHIP" :"

Our old time, long time friend
Samuel Francis Woolard. of Wichita
Kansas. is out with another publica
tion called "The Beauties of Friend
ship" Mr.. Woolard in the accepted
sense is not an author, but a compil
er of the beautiful things said ant
written by the worlds greatest and
sweetest singers.
But in truth he is an author, as
in the gathering and selection oi
things, he is a critic of the written
thoughts of other people-an artist
with an ear attuned to the good
things, the rich and beautiful senti-
ments of life.
Beauties of Friendship" a copy
of which is before us, is an art treas
ure for the library and home. Mr..
Woolard could not get up a mean
book even If he tried ever SO hard.
The beautiful and sentimental must
be welded together to make an en-
semble, which will pass his critical
eye.
An Illuminated picture symbolical
of friendship adorns the front page.
together with a facsimile of the au
thor's signature. The diverse of the
cover contains a photo of his three
beautiful children. The foreword
follows within the first pages of the
book-and then comes the dedication
to his mother
But the contents of the book
there's the charm, filled to overflow
ever spoken on friendship. We have
only glanced at the pages. Some of
the poems are with the authors
signatures, others are by permission
of the authors. Gene Fields unpol
ished manuscript; a portion of a ser
mon by Cardinal Gibbons, used by
his permission; a famous prayer by
William Ewert Gladstone; "Eulogy
on a Dog" by late senator George
G. Vest, with a letter of permission
by Mrs. Vest.
These are only few of the COM
piled gems.
We are not intending to draw i
comparison to Mr.. Woolard's form
er effort. his book of "Toasts." but we
might say this fills our ideal of what
a book on friendship should be. just
as much as "Toasts" filled its field.
Keep on Mr.. Woolard, the field in
which you are working is a broad
one. Aside from Kate Sanborn, we
know of none who have approached
your efforts.
Many name is compiled in that
wonderful book Who's Who in
America" that has less charm to
adorn its pages as literateur as have
you.

From some unknown cause it takes
passenger train longer to run in and
out of a station in Colorado, than in
any state IN the union. Whether all
the time used is necessary. we are un-
able to state. However, If a train
loses five minutes at each station
from Denver to Grand Junction, sew
eral hours can readily be consumed.
It is our belief that the cause in the
delay in many trains is due to the
laxity in this regard. The time use
may be, absolutely necessary, but we
do know that on eastern roads with
great trains and cars filled with pas
sengers, hardly third of the time is
used in getting into and out of a sta
ton. The tfain hardly stops before
the conductor yells. "all aboard. -
The time is almost increditably short.
The duties of those in the train serv-
ice there are certainly as numerous
as they are here. There are hundreds
of trains and from the dense popula-
ton, thousands of passengers to han
die. The passenger department of
the various roads might make a great
saving Of time, if they would inquire
into this feature of train service.
