Secure that he shall make you fair

HouLr ITEMS.

H0ULT, Setp. 2S.-After a long abb
sence we come again with small
batch of news.
News items are very scarce.
Indications are that this will be
a late fall so far as ripenlng of yege-
tation and unless frost holds OF till
well into October there will be much
corn that will not ripen. This is due
partly to the lateness of the spring
that made planting late and partly
to the cool, wet summer that is In
cllned to prolong growth and retard
ripening. But very few persons have
cut any corn yet, Corn will prOba-
bly, be fairly good Il it gets to rlpen.

Arm Broken
PITCHER SNAPPED HIS ARM
WHILE PLAYING GAME ON
EMANCIPATION DAY

The chief feature In celebrating EN-
ancipation Day yesterday was a base
ball game between the colored BARRIERS
and the hotel men. The game was a
good one, but unfortunate for Garfield
Banks, who snapped his arm while
pitching. Banks was the slab artist
for the BARRIERS and in delivering the
ball to a batsman he gave quick
jerk that broke his arm above the ell
bow.
The injured man was taken to a
and the fracture was reduc-
ed. The game resulted in eight runs
for the BARRIERS and seven runs for
the hotel men. Things passed of quiet
ly and the celebration was a success.

NEW YORK, sept "a. One Of tho

cans In this State predict in chatting
with your correspondent about tile
spread of Hughes sentiment in the
west that the friendsof Senator For.

Vice President Fairbanks would unite
with The friends Of Governor Hughes

cies Of Roosevelt, which, We believe,
are not beneficial to the interests Of
the country. Governor Hughes has
shown by his veto Of the Two-cent
Fare Bill, passed almost unanimously
by the New York legislature, that he
has not lost his heal in the popular
clamor against railroads and other
lawful corporations. It doesn't seem
that either Knox, Foraker or Fair
banks can get the nomination, and as
| am opposed to both Secretary Taft
and President Roosevelt, 1 look upon
Governor Hughes as the hope of con-
servatlye Republicans in the nominal
ing convention. Anyone with half an
eye can see that there is little sentt'
ment in this State for Taft, although
a good deal for Roosevelt, and the
only thing to-day that stands in the
path Of the Governor is the attitude
Of the Republican organization OF tho

For fifty years, in shade and SIN,
The while their true hearts blended,
Until for him the fort was won,
And there the pathway ended.
Since love is Gods forget-me.nQt
And blooms in glory vernal,
The links that bound are not forgot,
But hold in life eternal.
And though the flower of youth is past
And many a love song given,
The hearts that loved until the last
Shall meet again in heaven.
BY many a winding path they went,
And tolds salvation's story, I
Until the Angel God had sent
Called one to live in glory.
But still his name is green to-day,
AS Gods own burden bearer
Who helped the Christians on their
way
And was of grief their sharer.
Who gave the kindly word and look
Some thought of heaven that frees
us,
Whose life was like an open book
On which was written Jesus.
For life is love. and love is God,
And death can ne'er be lonely
To those who leave this weary sod
With that sweet message only.
And so the husband, father, friend,
Who loved the old, old story,
Has found of death and pain the end
And lives with God in glory.
And she who loves the Lord. and he
Whose endless love was given,
Shall meet beside the tldeless sea
With rapture there in heaven.

Will Increase Property Valuations.

From recent reports of the state tax
commission it is shown that the COM
mission will increase the assessed
value of the property of the state this
year, an appreciate amount over the
figures made last year. The board has
practically completed the assessment
and the figures will be made public in
few days. 1t is believed q large in
crease has been made over last year 8
assessment, which was then fixed at
1924, 100000. This is considerably
more than the total valuation made by
the local assessors of the state this
year. Since 1901 the board has grad
ually increased the value of the prop
erty of the state, basing the figures on
an extensive investigation carried on
by corps of experts in the field in all
sections of the state valuing property.
The state assessment each year is
based upon the local assessment of
the preceding year-1906 state assess
ment corresponding to the 1905 local.
The increase of the 1906 state assess
ment over the 1901 assessment is
4724. The increase of the 1906 as
sessment over the 1904 assessment is
1873. The county assessors report the
value of the property in their county
to the tax commission. With the data
from all these counties, reports of the
sales of real estate and personal in
vestigations, the state tax commission
sets .aboutzto determine If the counties
are all valued on the same basis. 1t
appears from the reports of the tax
commission that county assessors are
prone to attempt to keep their assess
ment down, thereby relieving them OF
state and mill taxes to an appreciablc
extent.

Farmers May Buy Elevators.

AS a result of the visit to Superior
made by Theodore Nelson, president
of the grain department of the Socie.y
of Equity, it is possible that one or pcs
sibly two of the elevators of that city
may be acquired by the society In
their efforts to give the farmers of the
northwest what it considers to be
fair deal. 1t Is stated on reliable Au.
thority that Mr.. Nelson while in Su.
perior examined the situation careful
ly, treated with the owners of at least
two elevators and if the result of ne
gotiations is successful there may be
two Independent elevators in the city
Of Superior, devoted entirely to the
use of the members Of the Society of
Equity. The object of the society is
to do away with the middleman en-
tirely in the marketing Of the product
of the farmers of the country and
much success has been experienced in
the matter of tobacco and cotton. The
grain situation has only recently been
taken up by the society and the sue.
cess achieved is very gratifying to the
officials. If the negotiations for the
purchase of the elevators go through
there is but little doubt that an enOr-
nous quantity of grain will be held at
Superior pending the quotation of a
reasonable price in the markets of the
world.
