lines
The 1000 tons represent twenty
one miles of rail and 1t is understood
that almost an equal amount yet re-
mains to be purchased for use in
building the Galveston terminals.
This would give about forty miles of

TAXES HIGHER THIS YEAR
Like Everything Else, Taxes Have Also
Gone Up

On Sept. 9th, the state board of
equalization fixed the rate of taxation
for 1907 at six and seven tenths mills,
this is an increase of one and three
tenths mills over last year. 1t is es-
timated that this will produce in round
numbers million more dollars of state
revenue, made necessary by the appro-
priations OF the last legislature. In
1906 the state revenue amounted to
50, 1868, 1872. This year it will be
about a million more. The general
fund levy is made mills this year, as
against 1.8 mills a year ago. This is
the highest levy allowed by law, and
even then may not quite care for the
large appropriations made by the last
legislature. The school tax levy last
year was 3.25 mills, and this year is
reduced to 8 mills. Under the law
this levy must be sufficient, with in
terest and earnings from the permanent
school fund, to produce $40 for each
census school child in the state. The
increased valuations of state property
this year, together with greater revenue
from school funds made possible the
reduction of this levy to mills flat. By
acts of the last Legislature the military
levy is raised this year from the usual
one-tenth mill to one-fth mill, and
state road tax from one-quarter mill to
one-half mill. All property in the
state as eqnalized by the county boards
this year was reported at $3.50, 179,830,
as against 1922, 082,502 in 1906. 1t
was equalized by the state board at
$573,070,528 this year, as compared
with $3.50, 209,882 last year. The
state board took the position this year
that King and Pierce counties had
practically honest assessments, and
rather than penalize these counties by
forcing them to pay a higher proper
ton OF state tax, the board reduced
King county's assessment about
$4,000, 900, and Pierce county's ass
essment more than $4,000,000. Sno-
homish county was reduced about
Sc, 100000 and Spokane county rails
ed 81, 900, 900; Douglas, 80, 100000;
Lewis, $1,OO0,0OO; Pacific, $1,000
900; Stevens, 50, 100000; and Whit
man more than SIS, 100000.

To Clear Out Rapids

According to the Seattle Times,
Major H. M. Chittenden, chief of the
corps of the United States engineers in
charge of river and harbor improvement
in the state of Washington, has per-
fected plans for clearing the channel
OF the Columbia river through the En-
tiat and Methow rapids and workmen
will be employed on the job during
the low water stage of the coming win
ter. The rocks which block the chan
mel and menace transportation will be
blown out with dynamite.
The last congress appropriated several
hundred thousand dollars for the i'm
provement of the Columbia river from
its mouth to the mouth OF the mouth
of the Okanogan. Of this fund
$42, 900 was apportioned to that part
of the river between Wenatchee and
Brewster, and, of course, the greater
portion Of the money, will be expended
in the Entiat and Methow rapids.
That amount of money, if judicious-
ly expended, should reduce these dan
erous rapids to state of comparative

Very little activity was shown in the

Is Hubert Cassidy. At one time he was
one Of the most prominent builders in the

wilmington.
Mr.. Cassidy has practically retired from

BUILDING BOOM
DUE In SPRING
Many Houses Will Be Erected
and Contractors Expect
Much Work

The advent of open weather is hailed
with delight by not only the laborer and
skilled mechanic dependent upon the
building trades for livelihood, but also
by contractors and others who require
ehtir services.
1t is prophesied by real estate leaders
and builders that the coming spring and
summer will establish a building record
Unprecedented in the history Of the city.
as the sale Of lots has been unusually
heavy during the past season, and dozens
of homes and some few large operations
are TO be started as soon as the frost Is
fairly out of the ground.
This building boom is not OF a spasmodic
nature, but rather Is a sure indication Of
a natural expansion, brought about by the
wonderful prosperity Of the city and its
inhabitants. While Nery many are content
to pay rent. yet the rates have so abb
normally increased that IL has virtually
forced those who desire a permanent
home to build. rather than annually pay
in rentals sum sufficient to so a long
way toward building a comfortable home
OF their own.
With the wonderful increase in manu-
featuring and the consequently increasing
number Of employees who come here to
