If you are an admirer Of the bungalow
style Of house, here is an excellent exam
pie With it's low roof and wide project,
ing caves, we get distinctive features
which are restful and out of the ordinary.
1t has the advantage Of having all of
the rooms on one floor, which is particu
larly desirable where one objects to
climbing stairs. There are five large
rooms and bath, all opening up together
nicely, and well lighted. The bathroom
has a small private hall Of its own, hence
you do not have to pass thru bedroom
to reach 1t, as is often the case in a one
story cottage.

Use Of Cretonnes.

Among the late departures in decor

enterprise, for to use both, in the pro-
nounced patterns that are favorites in

to- it, is to entirely overdo the matter.

Restful Livingrooms.

For living rooms and others in con
slant use, restfulness is most desirable
quaHty-something Of which one will
not tire. More pronounced effects may
be used in a more formal room in less
frequent use, as the drawing room or
the hall that is not expected to fulfill
any Of the functions Of a living room.
For the drawing room the striking col
onia1 combination Of white woodwork
with rich red paper in velvet and satin
stripes is entirely appropriate On such
walls there should be q few pictures and
Just enough colonial brie-a--brac to pre-

will be effective on such wall, but
nothing exceeds in beauty and fitness

The general rule for interior decora-
ton is to have the darkest tone for the
floor and the ightest for the ceiling
Except where white woodwork is used,
the walls should be lighter than the
woodwork. Red should be used with
discretion as it is neither restfnl nor
cheerful, and instead Of lighting. up a
room as is popularity supposed, it ab.
serbs light. Red and also yellow are
called advancing colors for they reduce
the apparent size Of a room, while
green and blue give a spacious effect.

bunch of them and in the fight that
followed he was badly beaten up, but
it is thought that he is not seriously
hurt. After putting the officer out
of commission the men separated.
but later four of them were appre-
hended by Deputy Sheriff Parks and
Gid Thompson, and it is likely that
all of them will soon be landed
safely in Jail. Alberto Munguia is
recognized as one of the best officers
in the county. He is a man of
undaunted courage and of great
strength, and has been known to take
desperate chances OF several occa-
sions. 1t is likely that he had too
much confiaence in himself on this
occasion sn5 got into the bunch of

John J. Birdno, Graham county's
efficient assessor, spent few
DAYS in Clifton this week on
business in connection with his office.
He reports that the taxable wealth
of the county this year will be about
Sc, 700, 900, which is more than as
much again as it was four years ago.
In the matter of mine assessments,
Graham county heads the list, and
will be taken by the territorial board
of equalization as the standard of
values, and the mines of other Coun-
ties will be raised to correspond with
it. 1t this policy is carried out there
will be an increased taxable wealth
in the territory this year over last
of about SIS, 100000, which is an
indication of the rapid strides Ari-
IONA is making. Mr.. Birdno also
informs the ERA that the cattlemen
of the country were touched up by
the supervisors for about $50, 900.
There were no changes made in the
returns from the Blue river, where
Judge Bake made an excellent
assessment The new map which the
assessor recently had made showing
the patented land of the county, will
also materially increase the tax roll.
Since this map was made many
people have discovered that they own
much land which they had ap-
parently forgotten all about In
some instances it cannot be told who
owns the land, which will be returned
as unknown. Most of this land is
valuable. This large increase OF
taxable wealth will have the effect
of lowering the tax rate to about
81. 25 per 800.
