Probably one of the most notable results
of the return of the liberals to power In
England is in the progress that has been
made toward the establishment Of repre-
sentative government In the former Boer
colonies. SO long as the Chamberlain party
was in the ascendancy 1t was to be eX-
pected from its associations and habit of
thought that the interests responsible for
the determination of the Boer republics
would have matters their own way In the
Transvaal. But with the entrance of the
liberal government better days were pre-
dicted for the Beers. So 1t has come about
that representative government is to be
established much sooner than had been
considered possible even by the most opu-
mistic. The new constitution of the colony
provides for the election of legislative
assembly of sixty-nine members, the cleo
torate including all males, except negroes
over 21 years. Returns from the first
election show a clear majority for the
Boers. who viii have the satisfaction OF
initiating legislation for the protection and
preservation of the homes they yaliantly
fought for.

A Hearty Feeder.

To see q furnace standing round,
So innocent and free Of care,
So quiet. modest and serene
And with an almost childlike air,
You never would believe it had
So powerful an appetite
That it could lunch along all day
And fairly eat up coal at night
The gentleman who put it there
No doubt expressive things would say
Could he but see the way 1t worked
To make the coal pile fade away.
When he was putting in the joints
And deity fixing ZIP the fue
He solemnly declared that it
Would only burn ton or two.
No matter If the coal should last
Or II the wintry winds should roar.
The furnace. he declared. would not
Lift up its voice and call for more.
No: as the weather colder grew
1t was his most alluring guess
That 1t would gladly make things warm
And bright by burning even less.
A theory is a cheerful thing,
But practice knocks 1t galley west
And makes 1t look like thirty cents
When put severely to the test,
And as you shovel in the coal
And forty times the fire renew
You pause between the strokes and
watch
Your bank account go up the fiue.

FOR BLACKSMITH
Former Partners Allege That kist
| Agreed to Keep Out of Busi-

Hall & Woodruff, blacksmiths,

smith.
In August, 1906, F. r. Kist, L. O..
Hall and r. T. Woodruff were part
ners engaged in the blacksmithing
trade in Wenatchee. F. R. Kist de-
sired to retire from the business,
and accordingly sold his interest to
his partners. At the same time he
signed a stipulation that he would
neither engage in the blacksmith
trade himself, nor work at this vo-
cation for another in the city of We
natchee for a period of ten years
from August %, 1906.
The defendant is now employed
by the Eagle Livery and Transfer
company, having opened black
smith shop for them, on Columbia
street.
Suit has been instituted in the Su-
perior court for Chelan county to
restrain the defendant from engaging
in the blacksmith trade in this city,
during the ten-year term covered by
the stipulation in the agreement
made last year.

WARNING TO
The TAXPAYER
Treasurer Butfles Ssys Courts Cam
not Equalize Taxes--Oniy
Board OF Equalization.

C. E. Buttles, county treasurer, IN
discussing the question of the equal
ization of taxes, says that parties
claiming exemptions should make
this request at the time Of listing
their property.
He also makes the suggestion that
requests for changes in assessments
by taxpayers should be brought be-
fore the Board of Equalization In
August. and not delayed for subse-
quent court proceedings.
In talking the matter over yester-
day Treasurer Buttles views were
summed up as follows:
"Under a decision of the supreme
court it is held that the assessment
of property, both real and improve
ments, cannot be attacked after the
board of equalization has adjourned
except under a charge of fraud, or
implied fraud on the part OF asses
sors. An error of judgment on the
part of an assessor would not be a
basis for any suit to reduce valua-
ton. In view of this decision it is
necessary that property owners look
to their valuations, and if the same
are not satisfactory, to use their eff
forts before the board of equalization
at the August session to have the
valuatino reduced; the board is the
last resort for any change in valua-
tons.
'Also, in turning in list of per-
sonal property to the deputy asses
sor, care should be taken that the
claim for the exemptions of $500
be made as the property is listed.
The attorney general of the state has
held that unless such claim is made
at that time, the exemption priv
ilege is waived and will not there
after be allowed"
A recent case in the superior court
of King county brought out a deci-
sion along the same line from Judge
Albertson. An action was instituted
to compel the county treasurer to
accept less sum, as taxes, against a
valuable piece of business property
than was charged on the treasurer's
books. The claim was made that
while the assessor had intended to
assess at one price, he had really
assessed at a much higher one. The
Judge decided that such an action
had no place in court, and should
have been settled before the board
of equalization; that 1t was only in
instances of malicious fraud, or i'm
piled fraud, that an action could be
brought in court.

FRUIT SHIPMENTS IN BOX CARS
Contract of Southern Pacific and Ar
mour Company Has Expired.

Box cars are now being used for
fruit shipments into Spokane, instead
or refrigerator cars, as heretofore.
The contract between the Armour
company, which owns the refrigera-
tor cars, and the Southern Pacific
has expired and will not be renewed
by the railroad company, as the lat
ter is constructing cars of it's own.
1t will be several months before
these cars will be ready for use, and
as the Armour company refuses to
enter into another contract for less
than five years, the fruit shippers
are compelled to use box cars for the
present. Practically all of the fruit
shipped into Spokane comes over the
Southern Pacific lines.

In South Africa some Of the fruit

good guard has 70 be kept or the re-
suits Of long labor would be lost. In
some Of those gardens grow certain
shrubs which r much affected by
wasps, the insects liking TO attach
thereto their nests. These wasps,
though small, have n very venomous
sting. Balloons had often been noticed
eying with envious glances the fast
ripening fruit In one certain garden,
but feared to gather for fear Of at
tracing the assaults of the wasps.
One morning the farmer heard terrible
cries. and with the aid OF n good field
glass he witnessed the following trag-
edy: a large, venerable baboon, chief
Of the band, was catching the younger
apes and pitching them into the shrubs
whereon hung the wasps' nests. This
he repeated again and again In spite
OF the most piteous cries from his vic
Tins. OF course the wasps assumed
the defensive I'm swarms. During this
part OF the performance the old brute
quietly fed on the fruit, delgning oc-
