1t is being whispered around that
the Democrats expect to center their
strength on Judge Raymond for the
Legislature and by trading off some
of the others on the ticket they think
they may be able to pull him through.

cents. What does that mean? 1t
means that the railroads would pay
less that half as much in taxes under
The new law as they did under the old.
Can such a fight be considered sim
cere? The B. and o. Railroad Com
pany's property In this State is worth
at least $1O0,00O,OO0 in the open mar
ket to-day. The net earnings of the
system in this State, for the year 1905
were $5,494, 094.20. Is It reasonable
to suppose that, $5,494,094,20 could be
made On railroad property worth only
S170O0,00O? Do other railroad compa'
ries expect such high dividends on
stock? In our opinion the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company is injur-
ing its own cause in trying to insist
on such low valuation on its prop
erty. There seems to be no middle
ground. The Board of Public Works
las assessed the property at about
SSO,OO0,OO0 and the figures given in
the case seem to our mind to indi.
cate that the assessment Is. consld-
erably below the true worth Of the
property. The stock and debt of the
3. and O. Railroad Company, accord.
ing to the records, amount to $110,-
643 per mile. The company owns and
operates 1913 miles Of road In West
Virginia. Therefore, the creditors of
the road think 1t is worth at the very
least, $117,719,939. If they believed
the sworn statement of the officials
that they considered the property in
West Virginia worth only $17.00G,000
what would happen? The road would
be in a receivers hand at the earliest
possible moment for many millions
of the company's Indebtedness
would be unsecured. We repeat the
question propounded at the beginning.
Is the B. and o. making an honest
fight?

The Times said a few days ago
that, the West Virginian was publish
ing only about SO per cent. OF the tax
payers in the county in showing the
decreases in taxes. Then the Times
must be publishing only about five
per cent, for the West Virginian is
running more than twice as many
names each day as the Times and it
has been keeping 1t up right along
for quite while. It is no use talking

SAVING THE MIKASA.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The
steamer Stanley Dollar, formerly the
Arab, which was confscated by the
japanese for blockade running, and
afterward sold back to her former
owners, has just returned here.
She brings a story of the original
and essentially Oriental methods being
pursued by the japanese in their eff
forts to resurrect the battleship Mika-
sa. the old flagship of Vice Admiral
Togo, mysteriously sunk at her an
chorage in the naval port Of Sasebo,
after the conclusion of the war with
Russia.

MORE TIME GIVEN
TO FOOD DEALERS

There is nothing doing as yet IN the
enforcement of the new regulation OF
the Board of Health which forb1ds
the occupancy for dwelling and living
purposes of any building in which
human food II sold
The reason of the delay, since the
time limit contained in the resolution
has expired, is to give the Chinese and
Japanese further notice. To this end,
after publication by authority IN the
English press, the health authorities
have had the regulation inserted in the
Chinese and japanese papers with the
full time limit from date of first puo-
Ication therein. Thus the Asiatlc
proyision and fruit dealers are given
ample notice of the prohibition IN
their own languages.

COHEN OFF

What Is Band Doing
on the Southern
Route?

The cable dispatch from Joe Cohen
to the Advertiser on Tuesday relating
to the death of John Edwards and
dated at Memphis, Tenn, occasioned
something of surprise to many peo-
pie here. The surprise was on account
of the place at which the band is
playing, for it was thought it was
After leaving Omaha and Kansas City
Cohen s itinerary was thought to take
in st. Louis and then up to Chicago
and eastward to New York. 1t looks
now as if Cohen intended taking the
band to New Orleans, and some think
he may bring it back to California by
the Sunset route.
Letters have been received here
since the band left Denver to the ef-
feet that business has not been good
and that the Denver engagement was
very poor indeed. This can be ac-
counted for by the high carnival times
prevailing there during the entertain
concert.
Mr.. Cohen said just before leaving
that the band would be taken through
to New York and that an engagement
of indefinite length awaited the or
ganization art Madison Square Garden.

opium which il was the intention Of

The consignment, which consisted of
900 tins. was valued at $500. The Aus

suspicious that there was a consider
able contraband trade in opium being
carried on between the Dominion and
the Commonwealth and watched the
Miowera closely, their vigilance being
rewarded by th- discovery and seizure
Of the gum. The tins were found after
the vessel had discharged her cargo,
