about s125,ooo.ooo, making

properties about $l25,000,00o, making
a total addition to the taxable valua-
ton for the session Of about $l25,000,-
900. While the exact figures have not
yet been computed and will not be
available for several months, it is es-
timated that this will about cover the
raise. The raise in the personal prop
erty valuation is not as large as it was
last year, which is accounted for to a
considerable extent by the fact that
the board this year did not raise the
valuation of any of the large public
service corporations and, in fact, made
a reduction of $250,0OO in the assess
ment Of the Western Union Telegraph
company.

To tho Man Who Likes to Work.

Here's to the man-whoever he is
who says II like to work." And
here's to him again-and again.-if he
proves it by the way he works! says
the American Printer.
Whoever he isl said. From
railroad president to water bow on a
construction gang; from head Of a
business to the lowest In the ranks;
whether he soils his hands or doesn't.
Just so he likes to work.
Why doesn't everybody like t. work. ?
Somebody will answer that by saying
and he'll be somebody far down in
the ranks, and sure to stay there-"I
wouldn't have to work II there ives a
square deal"
Listen, young man-it's safe to say
you're young man: Considering the
fact that you're far down in the ranks
and sure to stay there for you
wouldn't talk like that IL you expected
to go higher)-what and wherc would
you be if you didn't have to work?
It's more than likely-but let's drop
that The idle without ideals--and
nobody with ideals is ever idle--dont
furnish food for elevating thought.
Il like to work"-say it over to
yourself few times How do you
feel now? A little taller, don't you?
And bigger around the chest' And
your blood runs faster? And you're
glad-you don't know Just why, but
you're glad?
know-because you're growing in
to that perfect stature" that an Old
Book tells about.
You can have your own views on
the general order Of things. but you've
got to agree with me-k you think In
a straight line-on this: Mans mission
is to work, and the better he works
the nearer he fulfills his mission.
How can he work we'll il he doesn't
like to work-if he finds no JOY in
working?
Say: The happiest Saturday after
Moons Of my boyhood were those thai
followed mornings in which did every
one Of the little Jobs my father told
me to do--and did every one well
Playing hockey isn't real fun; shirk-
ing work never made anybody fee

mile dams, and Panama canals alone
are able to hold the public eye long
enough to be even a seven-days' Won

to the eye undoubtedly have an inn

trial and commercial development now
writing itself in such bold letters into
the history OF civilization. There are,
however, other agencies at work in
this development, some Of them surely
destined to bring about great changes
In methods and efHciencies now re-
garded as superlative. and one OF these
agencies, yet quite unknown to the
general public, but nevertheless al.

steel, iron, or other resistent metals.

commonly understood, would not do at
