ution oi ali property in Afifant is vefy high while in New Mexico lt is very low Outside of tbe mines and railways in Arizona Inc assessed valoaiion of property ranges from i0 per cent Co 60 per cent of its actual value In New Mexico the assessed valuation of of ali property is but about i65 per cent of it's actual value. Anex animation of the census returns for the two territories will bear out this assertion. Here are some of the figures from the census of 1900;
 Value of live stock on farms and ranges Arizona, sl5,545, 6S7 New Mexico, s31 ,727 400.
 Value of farm lands and buildings : Arizona, sl3,6S2 ,960; New Mexico, s20, ,SSS,S1
 Total number of farms Arizona, , 1909: New Mexico, 12,31l.
 Number of males engaged in agricul- ture: Arizona, 13,473; New Mexico, 25,947.
 Total value of farm products of 1899 :. Arizona, s6, ,997 ,097; New Mexico, SlO,- l55,2i5.
 Total expenditure for labor on farms in 1899: Arizona, Sll, ,l52, ,670; New Mexico, SIP, ,926, ,635.
 Gross farm income of 1899; Arizona, sS,ll1, 132 New Mexico, SIP, ,926, ,635.
 New Mexico ranges thirtieth among the states and territories in total num- Der of farms reporting wheat raised, and Arizona thirty-fifth.
 New Mexico ranks fOrty-fourth in tbe production of cereals in number of pounds, and Arizona forty-sixth.
 New Mexico ranks thirty-seventh i'll total number of wheat bushels and Arizona thirty-ninth
 In value of all crops raised in lS99 including vegetables, Arizona with $2, ,432 AT worth ranks tiftieth and New Mexico forty-seventh, with S3,030, ,299
 The official figures issued by the United States Bureau of Statistics for 1908 show the following:
 Wheat production: Arizona. 4S3, ,96l bushels, worth $450,0S7 New Mexico, S22, 70l bushels, worth $8l7, ,O26
 Corn production Arizona, l94 ,025 bushels, worth $l75, ,432: New Mexico 956, ,OSS bushels, worth $7l7,5l6
 Oat production: Arizona, 64, 46S bushels, worth $39 ,325 New Mexico, 345, l47 bushels, worth $2l3,S9l.
 Wool production: Arizona. 1887 300 pounds New Mexico, l6, ,250 GOO pounds.
 Arizona had over million sheep {; New Mexico nearly four millions.
 So from the very latest census 1t is apparent that in all the proper ty enumerated New Mexico ex- ceeds Arizona in valuation by q very large percentage. In farm lands and buildings the excess IS nearly 54 per cent. In the num- Der of farms it is 12 per cent. In live stock on farms and ranges 1t is 106 per cent greater. Taking the two items together Livestock and farms) and the valuations shown give New Mexico an excess of nearly so per cent more than Arizona. When those properties are all under one state govern ment there will be one basis fol assessment. The state board ot equalization will regulate it; and either the basis for the entire state will have to come up to the Arl. zona basis, or go down to the New Mexico basis. That will be ont of the first duties the new state board of equalization will have to perform, and very likely 1t will be q dutv mt mon 1t by cOnstitu

 The trolley terminal was the scene of much excitement at 9:25 last night, when trolley car. which had been waiting at the driving park for about an hour, on account of the power giving out, came humming along, failed to stop until it smashed ipto the large pole at the railroad bridge, which supported several electric. light wires. The force of the collision was so great that it broke the big pole in two, as though 1t were mere scantling. There were about half dozen passengers on the car, most of them ladies, but fortunately no one was injured. The conductor and shrdletaoishrdlushrd jumped, the latter just in time to save himself. The cause of the ac- cident was probably due to the fact that the air failed to hold when ap- piled by the motorman, who showed remarkable coolness, by reversing his car and making every effort to prevent the accident. The peanut man, together with Edward Cham paign, Herbert Place and Henry Hockey. were standing near the end of the tracks and narrowly escaped being run down. The peanut mans stand was smashed and peanuts went flying in all directions. to the delight of the small boys. who had a free peanut feast. The railroad tracks were blocked for over an hour by the electric light wires. which were cut just in time to clear the 11:06 train for Watertown.

THE FISHING DISPUTE.
President Preparing to Have New
 foundland Affair Discussed Again,

Washington, Sept 6.-By direction of President Roosevelt preparations are being made in three of the execu- tive departments for a resumption of the study of the Newfoundland fish, ing dispute which was carried on through the last year. A. B. Alex ander, chief of the division of statis- tics and methods of the bureau of fisheries for the department of con- merce and labor, who spent several months surveying conditions in New foundland waters has again been se- lected as the agent of this govern ment. He will have the use of the naval tug Potomac in making his in- vestigations and will be armed with authority from the state department in his negotiations with officials in Newfoundland. The date of his de- parture for Newfoundland has not yet been fixed.
 A new treaty defining the rights of American fishermen in Newfoundland waters is the probable outcome of Mir Alexander's visit, but of prime i'm portance to the fishermen themselves will be the instructions he will un- dertake to give to captains of fishing smaeks as to their exact rights under the existing Newfoundland treaty. It is believed at the state department that fully one-half of the seizures of American fish.lg vessels have been caused by ignorance on the part of fishermen as to their treaty rights or their exact location at the time seized. While the question of getting bait for the fishing smacks has been one of serious concern the real trouble has come from violations on the part of Americans in getting la- bor to man their fishing vessels. On several occasions Americans have en- tered Newfoundland ports and there have contracted for local fishermen, taking them on board beyond the limits of the waters patroled by the British. This has resulted in the seizure of many fishing smaeks when they entered Newfoundland ports and the violation of the Newfoundland regulations has been held to have been as great as though the Canadian fishermen actually were taken on board within the ports. Other troubles have arisen through trawI- ing for fish. which Is not permitted in Newfoundland waters. yet Ameri- cans have construed existing treaty rights as authorizing them to use trawI lines.
 Mir Alexander will gather statis- tics concerning the extent of the fisheries and the values of the in- dustries. making comparisons be- tween thte British and American in- terests.
 This investigation Eill be for the purpose of determining just what damage there has been to the inter eSts of both countries by reason of ,be long continuing dispute. Chand- Ter Anderson. who vas secretary of the Behring Sea arbitration is pre- Uarsur data which will b. useful in ibe event of negotiations for a new treaty. This information uill be given to Secretary of State Root. ubo has arranged to take up the ea- fire subject immediately upon his return from his South American tour

THEATRICAL.

Chauncey Olcott delighted large
audience at the Academy last night.
when. supported by a company of ex-
ceptional merit, he presented his new
play Edmund Burke" The play is
an attractive romantic drama with a
plenty Of clean comedy and whole
some pathos. interesting from start to
finish and containing several very dra-
matte situations. 1t would be a sue
cess even without MIR. Olcott's win
ming tenor voice. which he, as usual.
uses to excellent advantage. He sings
four dainty songs. written and com.
posed by himself. the best of which is
called Mary"
After the third act the star made a
graceful little speech after responding
to half a dozen curtain calls.
Almost every member of the cast
might dcseryedly be given special
mention. Miss Edna Phillips made a
sweet and attractive Mary, while Miss
Elizabeth Washburn, as Mrs. O'Grady,
kept everybody laughing. Miss Elean-
or Browning. local stock favorite of
several years ago. was given a hearty
reception when she made her appear
ance. Miss Browning's work as an adj.
venturess was clever, although tho
part is thankless one.
Mr.. Daniel Jarrett did an excellent
piece of character work as Oliver Col.
smith. Last, but not least. must be
mentioned the children. Misses Gladys
and Lottie Melbourne, who have the
pleasure of having the star sing "You
Can Sail in My Little Boat" especially
for their benefit.
The play is handsomely staged and
numerous handsome costumes are
worn by the players.

her heart. As one woman expressed

thath her death l1ncll had sounded
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations.
1t Is quite true that these troubles
may reach n stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases arc
much rarer than is generally supposed.
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia Il. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-

the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.

women who, by taking Lydia Il. Pink
