work. The unions which join rhe alliance have
10 exchange union cards with the unions in other

If you will further consider,
that here on the forest reserve at
least, the cattlemen pay now S5
cents per head grazing fees, of
which 1T is proposed to pay 90 to
the county, and all are required to
pay at least one cent brand tax,
you have total tax 73 IL cents
per head paid this year, which,
supposing 50&S of the number
owned were rendered only, would
make total tax of nearly Az of
the full value of their property.
If there is any other interest in
the county, not counting the poor
devil with nothing but wagon
and team, all IN sight, or who
owns nothing but the house he
lives in and the necessary furniture
like myself for instance, which
pays more, or even near, that pro.
portion of taxes, l will be glad to
have it shown to me as fact.

gested the above q doubt if any

it only fair to the cattle owners on
my part. knowing the facts, to
give their side of the question, and
because Friend Birdno's statement
"that he had not had time so far
to attend to the cattIemen," leaves
the inevitable inference, that his
deputies, to whom be intrusted
the work in the cattle districts,
were either incompetent or delib-
ately neglected their duty. think
it also fair to myself, for though
only a hardly known deputy,
rather pride myself in the con

portant, l have always tried to do

Benton, July II, 1905.
Mr.. Bake certainly misunder-
stands the GUARDIANS article. 1t
was general reference and not a
local one. There arc many cattle
men who have been fully assessed
and particularly on the Blue, in
proof of which we may point TO
the fact that while the board at its
session last week made slight raises
on mum Der of stockmen, those on
the Blue remained as assessed.
The article was not intended as a
reflection on any of the assessors
deputies, We believe if they were
incompetent that officer would dis
charge them, and Il number have
acted as deputies during his entire
term. The deputies certainly fol
low Mr.. Birdno's instructions
when assessing, The article simp-
ly meant that the assessor, whose
duty it is to direct his deputies,
had had his attention fully occu-
pied with more wealthy interests,
and now that those interests had
responded with heavy increase,
that the cattle industry should re-
ceive closer attention. Ed

A Rank Pessimist.

A Lady Bountiful living in a subur. ban village met an old man on the road one day and asked after his family, his health, etc. The old man gave rather gloomy account of things. He had to work all day and every day, and he was growing old and felt the cold and was always tired. He wished he could rest a bit after his long life of labor. He was weary, very weary.
 Lady BOuntiful reminded him gently that every one had his share of work to do in this world, and that it was all only q preparation of the world to come. where there will be no tears or labor.
 The old man shook his head and smil' ed cynically.
