The reports of the lapsing of life

and are getting out. In that case
they sacrifice little, but they save
something out of the wreck.
These policy holders are uDwise
Vast amounts of crookedness have
been revealed in the big companies,
and some policy holders fear that the
rest of the companies are also honey
combed with graft. This is an I'M
safe deduction. The companies
which have been run chiefly for the
benefit of their leading officials and
friends are probably very few. And
general housekeeping has taken
place in those few. Corrupt and ex-
trdyagant officers have been thrown
out and men who will run the COM
panies in the interest of those who
pay in the money--that is. in the in
terest of the policy holders-have
been installed. A great improve

mel and the management Of the big
companies. This change, 1t is like
ly. will be permanent.
Under the new conditions a policy
is worth more in 1906 than it was in
1905, or in any previous year since
the grating began. The man who
holds a term policy Is likely to real
ize more on ii when II natures than
did those whose policies expired in
recent times. The expenses of run
ming the companies are being low
cred. The absurdedly large salaries
of the heads of the companies and
the big commissions allowed the ia
vorites of the insurance chiefs have
all been abolished, so far as the gen.
eral public has learned. The steals
of various sorts which seem to have
been perpetrated with considerable
freedom in the past few years have
ended. In the absence OF all these
drains much larger sums will neces-
sarily be left for division among the
policy holders. Pay up your prem
iums regularly. Hang on to your
policies. This is the advice which
should be needed by every insured
person in the United States.

The total annual number OF deaths
from tuberculosis in this country is
placed at not less than 10000. and
the total number of sufferers from
consumption at given time is esti-
mated at 100000. Statistics. how
ever, indicate a decrease of 30 per
cent in the mortality in comparison
with few years ago in proportion
to population. This Improvement is
attributed to advanced methods OF
treatment, to measures for prevent
ing infection, and to education in
wholesome ways Of living and work

Successful Open-Air Treatment in
England.

The open-air treatment for con-
sumption has been started at Not
bingham, England, with successful
results, according to United States
Consul Mahin. of that district. who
reports to the state department that
three years ago sanatorium was es-
tablished in that county on elevated
ground, with southern aspect, at the
edge of forest. 1t is primarily for
persons of limited means or none at
all. and is, therefore. supported
mainly by contributions from philan-
thropic people. The cases of con-
sumption are chiefly among the poor.
and these can only be reached
through charitable institutions. The
annual number of deaths in the city
from consumption is nearly 500. be
ing about 10 per cent of the total
number from all causes. The ratio
in the entire county is about the
same, the annual number of deaths
approaching 1000. An interesting
fact is that the percentage of NOR
tally among males is much greater
than that among females, even
where the two sexes are employed in
the same trade, as in lace or hosiery
manufacture.
About 200 patients have passed
through the Nottingham Sanitorium
since 1t was founded. OF these. the
disease was arrested in about 20 per
cent; Stationary" was reported for
10 per cent, while the remainder
grew worse. No deaths are so far
reported. Altogether, this record is
considered good. in view of the fact
that most of the patients are in ad-
vanced stages of the disease. II Is
found very difficult to induce persons
TO take treatment at the first signs
of tuberculosis. An "after-care
committee" endeavors to follow up
leaving patients TO discover IL re-
lapses occur. An organization is
also effected for discharged patients.
1t is proposed besides. to provide
some light outdoor wurk, such as
horticulture. fer patients at the san
atorium.
The sanatorium is long. one
story frame building. with a central
part of two stories. A rooted We
randa facing southwark extends the
full length of the one-story wings.
Extensions can be made indefinitely
as means are obtained. In Derby

vided small huts with one side open

Besides sanatoria various drugs
have been tested in this country for

OPPONENTS OF BANK FAIL IN
ATTEMPT TO INCREASE THE
SCHEDULED VALUATIONS.

The application of DR.. ]. F. Crop,
asking that the Walla Walla hospital
and training school be placed on the
list of property exempt from taxation
was denied by the city board of
equalization in adopting the final re-
No reason was advanced why the pc
tition was rejected, the application be-
ing acted on with several other petit
tons.
The city board of equalization
cleared up the last of the complaints
and petitions for a reduction on tax
assessments at last nights meeting
and adjourned sine die on motion of
Councilman Mexican.
The board last night came to the
conclusion that the protest filed by the
Baker Boyer bank against the assess
ment of the First National bank last
week was a false alarm and voted to
let the assessment stand at $3.50 per
share as made by Assessor Bergman.
Bank Matter Up.
A. r. Burford, cashier of the First
National bank, in an affidavit showing
the amount of real estate owned by
the bank and which had been deduct
ed from it's capital stock as provided
by law. cleared away the charges that
the assessor had Disseminated in ia
vor of the First National in assessing
the stock of the Baker-Bo bank
and the First National.
j. L. Sharpstein, addressed the coun-
Gil and explained that the First Ma
tional bank carries its holdings Of
real estate under the head of bills re-
ceivable. The land owned by the bank
is valued at s55.45O, and this amount
he said was properly deducted from
the capital stock by the assessor
which placed the book value of the
capital stock at $177. The assessor
placed a valuation of $3.50 on the stock
or three dollars higher than it should
be.
Is Final Report.
In adjOurning last night the board
adopted the following recommended
lions of the committee of the whole.
I'VE, your committee of the whole,
to whom was referred several tax
complaints, beg leave to report that we
have duly considered the same and
would recommend as follows:
THAT the complaints of the Walla
Walla Hospital and Training School
for Nurses, Jane Singleton, Maurice
Murphy, Rosena Murphy, w. S. Gill
liam be not allowed
1--WE also recommend that the valu-
alton of the property assessed to the
Amelia Ward estate be raised from
$4,000 to $4,000; that the personal
property valuations of Peter Werner
be placed at $3.50; personal property of
John Patros be placed at $3.50.
I'VE further recommend that the
valuation on tax No. s, block l., Walla
Walla city, assessed to Lizzie Conn, be
reduced from $3240 to $500 and that
the valuation on lot 6, block 10, orig
inal town of WaIla Walla, assessed to
