WANT ASSESSMENT RAISED.

County Commissioner William Dit
man, County Attorney Straud NJ. Lo-
gan and Assessor n. N. Smith have
been in Denver since last Saturday
on a mission to secure the localiza-
tion of the taxation of the various
railroads operated in this county.
For some reason or other the state
board of equalization cut down the
assessed valuation of the Rio Grande
Western road in this county, so thar
it was entirely disproportionate to
the assessment made against the 9th
er roads, being too low.
The board of county commission
ers endeavored to see Governor
Buchtel when he was in this city
but they could not, and they thought
the matter could be presented better

THE FIRST DIFFERENCE.

As an oratorieal effect, Taft's speech
is not remarkable. There is little rhe-
toric in it. There is not one impassion-
Ell phrase in it. There is nothing that
dazzles or surprises. 1t is a calm. can
did and judicial treatment of the sub
jects of rate legislation, trusts and tar
iff revision. with references to fedearl
inheritance tax and a federal income
tax, and with the earnest champion
ship OF President Roosevelt and a con-
trast of his policy with Mr.. Bryan's.
On railway rate legislation Mr.. Taft
endorses the present laws and favors
several amendments that have been cal
led for by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. one of which would give
permission to railroads to form traitf
agreements subject to the approval OF
the Commission. He is opposed to gov
ernment ownership and he does not be-
lieve that in order to secure federal reg
ulation of railroads "the constitutional
limits upon federal action should be
blurred out or an undoubted federal
power should be expanded by doubtful
construction into a field which un-
doubtedly belongs to the state" This
is taen by some papers to indicate that
Mr.. Taft does not take stock in the sug-
gestion made by Mr.. Farrar Of Louis
ana and countenancei by President
Roosevelt that the post roads clauce OF
of the federal government gives the
federal government fuller powers over
the railways than the interstate COM
merce clause confers. This is the first
differnce detected between Taft's views
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT Literature for
October.

FEWER SHEEP OR NONE AT ALP

The Butte City, Mont, Miner quotes
a stockman who says there are l,O00,0OO
fewer sheep in that state today than
thHe weye twelve months ago. this
difference having been brought about by
the forest reserve policy of the present
administration.
But if the range pastures are all
eaten up how is it possible to keep as
many sheep as before! The admins
tration has not eaten up the grass; 1t
is only protecting for future use, such
grass as is LETT, in, order that the sheep
population will not have to be reduced
still more.
Gov. J. G. Cutler, Of Utah, at the re-
cent luncheon entertaining the Goddard
newspaper cOrrespondents' excursion
spoke wisely on this point: 1T may
sometimes appear that in seeking the
greatest good Of the greatest number
an injustice is done to some who are
interested. This would appear in the
case Of setting aside certain forest re-
serves, to the detriment of lumber,
stock and sheep interests. Also in the
withdrawal of certain mineral lands
from entry under the present system,
until the real value Of these lands may
be at least approximately determined.
But it is easily seen that the disad-
vantage is only temporary. Because the
first of these will result in the great
of the water supply and the growth OF
new timber and additional vegetation,
the value Of which vii more than bal
ance any temporary Inconvenience. And
as for the second case, the Government
and the State should be entitled to a
fair price for the lands they have to
dispose Of.

Students Fasten a HaEed Victim In a
Coffin.

CHICAGO. Sept. 3O.--A special to the
Tribune from Dubuque, Ia. Says:
To lie for ten hours in coffin, to see
through the glass covering over his face
the glimmer OF candles, was the fate OF
Roy Lorraine, a student OF the Dubuque
high school, who was the victim OF a
school fraternity initiation. .
The young man was to be submitted
to the most trying ordeal. Gagged and
bound, he was taken under cover OF
night to farm in the vicinity OF tie
city. Here he was escorted to a cellar
long in disuse and led down the stair.
way, Candles were lighted and placed
about in inches in the wall and young
Lorraine, blindfolded, was induced to
lie down in what to him seemed box,
and the cover was fastened. The cover.
ing soon was removed from his eyes
and he awoke to the realization that he
was in coffin. There was sufficient
air to keep him from smothering and
he remained there all through the night.
Early in tie morning he was released
by some of his friends.
