FFHHE trading schooner Tax had come down from
the Labrador. She was riding at anchor in
the home port, with her hold full of salt fish,
and the stock of goods in her cabin sadly low.
We had gone aboard that night to shake the hands
of the skipper and the clerk. 1t later in the
fOreCaStle when a modest celebration of the pros
porous voyage was in full swing. that Cook the
clerk merry, blue-eyed little man. told the story

he lay on his oars something puzzled, m thinking,

Unfalrness to Flagstaff.
To The Sun:

10 The oun.
 The editor of the Williams News and few people of Williams seem to have an unsurmountable spite at Flagstaff, which either arises from spirit of jealousy or a nat ural inclination to unfairness that neither helps their cause or creates the impression that they are replete with wisdom.
 About the only criticism which they have found so far with Flaf- staff's celebration was typograph- ical error made by the printer on a few bills in spelling the word tin gle" While the people of Flag staff rarely ever say things dispar- aging Williams, with or without opportunity, the News prints slur after slur, all of which amounts to nothing and merely discloses very petty spirit.
 It is easy to get into such hab- it; it never does the slightest good; the people are wise enough to know the relative merits of the two towns and to engender a mean feeling be- tween neighbors is one of the things that minded people avoid whenever possible. This alludes to the News and select few at Will jams who continue what they seem to think is heavy knocking, and not to the better class in Williams who have better judgment.
 The people generally in Flagstaff ignore this petty spirit and have hoped for some time that a ray of light might break in on the News, and that it might discover that Flagstaff was not being materially injured by such smallness.
 The editor of the News might at least remember that he has been honored with the votes of many people in Flagstaff; that if they were inclined as he is to see no good outside their own town, his election might have been a defeat. Carry ing on his same methods would lead to few more unpleasant things. Flagstaff intends having an old time celebration the Fourth with the biggest crowd that ever was in the town, and the general sentiment among people from the surrounding country shows it at this early date.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Increased Assessments for the Rail rOads-The Grand Canyon Rall-
 way Assessed.

ization met in Phoenix last week.
 When the board met it was pre- sented with a petition from Coco nino county to put the Grand Canyon road on the tax roll, on the ground that although the road had been built by Lombard, Goode & Co.,, the property had passed out of the hands of the beneficiaries of the ex- emption act by foreclosure. It was further set forth that this company was organized under the law of this territory, which provides for the transfer of franchises and exemp- tions at private sale, but which pro- hibits their transfer by a judicial sale.
 There was no increase in the as- sessment of Pullman cars; on the contrary a reduction on standards of from $6, 900 to $5 ,0O0; tourist cars remain the same, sl,5OO. The total value is $lO0, ,220.61.
