(From a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Jan. 29-(Special)-The state
Board of Equalization and assessment held
a meeting this afternoon to discuss the as
sessment. Every county assessor in the
state is under the orders of the board and
a mighty effort is going to be made by the
board this year to place every dollars
worth of taxable property in the state on
the assessment roll. The board ordered the
secretary to formulate some instructions to
the county assessors and urge them to do
everything in their power to uncover hidden
property. The board will call the attention
of the assessors to the notes and bonds
and money which 1t is generally believed es-
capped assessment last year and urge them
to discover that which is hidden.
The board will be in good condition to do
business this year as all of the members
have had experience and there will be no
new members on the board. 1t is thought
IL will not take long to decide on the valua-
ton of railroad property as the board
knows it's power now since the decision in
the railroad tax suit.
The secretary will formulate rules and
will then submit them to the board for adop-
ton. The secretary will call the attention
of the assessors to the supreme court de-
cision on the revenue law.

JnentO company would cease paying divi-
dends pending the outcome of the litiga-
tior.

action begun against it. The ordering of

treated. as well as in the production of
quicksilver from the CinnabaT rock being
mined and fried out in the COmpany's Own

pany is just about earning the dividend

ating expenses, costs Of repairs and main
