Mrs. Martha Roach Pugsley Goes to
Her Final Rest


Mrs. Martha Roach Pugsley Of this
city passed her final rest Saturday from
general debility. The deceased was a
wife of the late Phillip Pugsley, a ma
tive Of Somersetshire. England, and
was born on December IA, 1929. She
was popular and womanly and re-
spected woman. Generosity. without
the least ostentation or show, was
her nature and she did all the good
that she possibly could and only for
goods sake. The poor were all friends
TO her and never did anyone leave her
place hungry. She was religious in
the true sense of tho word and cared
nothing for the glitter OF society or
the frills o. fashion. Her one ambi-
ton waste do good
Mrs. Pugsley leaves six children and

COUNTY BOARD
IS ABUSING LAW
Attachments of Taxes of In
digents Increasing Each
Year.
PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED
Is THE BOARDS EXCUSE
But Little Doubt That Many
Attachments Should Not
Be Made.

Tho County Board OF Equalization
held its eighth session for the year,
Saturday, and tomorrow the last ses-
sion Will be held. which will be tho last
chance for those who desire to have
any adjustment made in taxes to make
their complaint. Figures have been
completed on the first six days busi-
ness transacted by the board. and while
comparison with the first six days OF
last year shows that the reductions
made on the assessed valuations of
real estate, improvements and personal
property are less this year than last.
the amount of tax abated viii exceed
the amount abated last year.
Amount Increasing
During the sessions Of the first six
days OF 1905 the amount of tax abated
was S27o5, and for the same number OF
days this year the abated tax amount
ed to $29s5. This goes TO show that the
abuse OF the law, which allows the
abatement of tax to paupers and indl-
gents, is increasing every year
The intent Of the lyw is that the tax
shall be abated only to those VINO are
Incapable OF raising the necessary
funds to meet their tax. or, in other
words, 10 those who have no income
moro than is necessary to provide for
their daily wants, That this law is
greatly abused there is no question and
the only reason given for the practice
now In vogue by the Board OF Equau-
Eation is that 1t is a precedent that
was established years ago and that
1t would be hard to break away
from il.
How 1t Is Worked.
According to the custom established
by the board. woman has only TO be q
widow, or put on a long face and claim
chat she Is, and put up q hard luck
story TO the Board of Equalization and
out comes the blue pencil and across
the face OF the tax notice Is written.
many cases that are worthy and cascs
Of those who. oppressed for the money
and compelled to suffer the usual cou>
sequences OF failure to pay the tax,
would lose their only place of abode
and be compelled to take refuge In tho
poorfarm, is not denied.
Number Is Growing.
1t is nevertheless true. however, that
each year sees an increased number or
widows in Salt Lake county who de-
mand an abatement of taxes; women
who appear before the board dressed
as well as the average woman who Is
seen on the streets Of Salt Lake:
women who IN many cases are known
to have grown sons who are perfectly
able TO support their mothers, but who
also enjoy the use of the properly
taxed. and are perfectly able to pay
the taxes.
The precedent has been established.
however and thus far no Board or
Equalization has been in office which
has had the courage to correct the
wrong practice. If this ratio OF in
crease is maintained from year to year
the time viii come when
the Legislature Will see fit to do away
with the law entirely and thus deprive
those who are worthy OF consideration
Of the privileges that they should
have.

BEERS IN FROM CAMP
Construction of Road Up Diamond
Creek Progressing Nicely.

w d. Beers. assistant engineer Of
the Strawberry valley irrigation pro-
tect, came IN from camp Saturday. Mr.
Beers reports the work OF road con-
struction up Diamond creek progress
Ing satisfactorily with about fourteen
Of the thlrty-flve miles of wagon road,
TO be built completed.
Nearly 100 men with a full compile
ment Of teams are employed The
road now being built differs from the
old route In that only seven bridges
Will be built as against seventy-two
crossings formerly used, This change
makes considerably more grading than
would be required by following the
old path. but the expense of bridge
building Is avoided Three of these
bridges are now completed and In their
construction considerable heavy rock
work has been done.
While the creek normally IS not a
formidable stream. yet at times IT
becomes a river OF good dimensions, TO
Withstand the current OF which de-
cidedly substantial bridges are re-
quired.

The industry OF scientific soap making
In the United States has mado great
strides in the past few years, Some
toilet soaps are now scientifically pre-
pared SO that they not only cleanse the
skin but they also act as a skin beauti-
fier and a flesh food. You may be sure
when you get hold OF a cake OF toilet
soap that is absolutely transparent that
1t is pure. Such a toilet soap is Jap
Rose, manufactured by Jas. s. Kirk &
Co. who have for years been leaders In
the soap making industry In this coun-
try.
The Kirk plant is a model of cleanly
and sanitary conditions and Jap Rose
Soap is a pet hobby of this firm, In II
are used only the finest Ingredients,
scented with the odor OF natural flowers.
Jap Rose Soap not only cleanses the
skin but 1t whitens and bautifes 1t and
also acts as a flesh food. Jap Rose is
handled by all local dealers who report
customers who are using II,

SALT LAKE MAIL
IS STILL JUGGLED
More Revelations Concerning
InCompetenCy of "ArtfuI
Artie."
NO ATTENTION Whatever
Is PAID TO ADDRESSES.
Found Impossible to Send Let
ter Directly Across
Street.

There Is n limit to everything. Even
Job would lose his patience and pre-
fer those boils to a tussle with the
United States Postoff1ce as personifled
IN little, cute "Artful ArtIe" Thomas.
Here arc more reasons why another
postmaster would be the best thing
that could happen to Salt Lake City.
On June letter was mailed III
JeadVille. Col, to Eddie Wade OF Salt
Lake City. The address was written
as plainly as the mismanagement of
the local postoff1ce Is apparent TO the
people Tho letter was addressed, care
OF the Hotel Belmont.
Nine days later. on June 15, that let
ter was stamped at the local postoffice
rs received. and instead Of being de-
llvered TO Mr.. Wade at the Hotel Bel
mont, was sent to Mrs II. c. Wade, OF
80 South State street.
Mrs. Wade, or some one IN her house
hold, opened the letter and saw that 1t
had been wrongly delivered. Then OH
the envelope were written the follow
ing words. due to Wrong Delivery"
Right below these words was the orig
snal address, still standing out plainly.
How any one, short of being affilct-
ed with blindness, could have made
such a mistake. is hard to understand,
So are the other innumerable errors,
some of them grave, committed by
Thomas.
Here's Rccord-Brcakcr.
But here is the straw which broke the
camel's back. on April End, a letter
was mailed in Seattle to Henry New
man. care of the Lyric Theater, Salt
Lake City. On June 21. Mr.. Newman
received his letter, only SO days behind
time. That's adjust So days,
And TO make the mistake more ridlc-
ulous, and uneXcusable. the Lyric The
ater is right across from Artie's house.
Right across the street, and 1t required
almost two months to deliver that let
ter. Mr.. Newman called for his mall,
and this letter IN particular. time and
time again, and yet this letter lay
peacefully and forgotten in one OF Ar
tie IS Chinese puzzles of receptacles.
The address on this letter could hnve
been read by q schoolboy of 10 years.
1t is as plain as the monument OF mis-
takes built by the little man who has
brought shame and ridicule upon one
of the Governments most important
departments, and upon this city In
particular.
No Receiving Stamp.
AS If In direct violation of one OF the
most stringent rules OF the department,
the local postofflce clerks neglected 10
stamp the date OF receipt upon the en-
velope.
What Is the trouble with the local
postofflce management? Even tourists
staying here but a few days have &C.
come shy OF trusting their mai! 10
"Artful Artie." and prefer sending tel
egrams or telephone messages.
Surely there must be some way for
batting this bunch OF bunglers out of
office. All things have an end, and the
end is not far for Artie.
Concerted action on tho part OF the
many who have been annoyed and who
have suffered because OF the mistakes
md mismanagement OF Thomas, The
placing of their names upon a peti-
tion to the proper authorities, ought TO
bring about some measure of relief.
