INcre ase in Assessment Over
Sl46. 900
But FEW DECREASES SHOWN
Advances Shown in Most Of
Items Enumerated on
Tax Rolls.

AT the present rate OF progress
the assessed valuation of taxable
property in Quay county will ex.
ceed the million mark in 1908. A
net increase is shown in the. total
assessments this year over last
of SI46,7I8, or almost one-sixth of
the valuation of all property re-
turned for taxation purposes in
1906. The total valuation of the
taxable property in the county this
year is placed at So8o,74I, which,
minus the exemptions allowed to
heads of families brings the amount
actually subject to taxation down
to $S7I,24o.
Increases are indicated in the
various classifications with but few
exceptions. No better proof that
the county is developing into a
farming section is needed than the
enormous gain made in agricul-
tural lands. There were none
listed in 1906. while the assess
ments on this class of realty for
the present year is $I37,776. The
value OF city or town lots also
shows substantial gain Of from
S45,523 in 1906, to SI4o,881 in
1907, more than doubling in value
with the year, or a gain of $780,
35S. There has been a big de-
probation in the grazing lands,
with a proportionate decrease in
cattle, which may be attributed to
the fact that the stockmen are be-
ing driven from the country by the
encroachment of the farming in
clined new settlers. The compar-
ative abstract of 1905 and 1907 as

SIXTIETH CONGRESS
CON v E N e S

Congress convened Monday, the
and. The Senate Immediately ad-
journed out OF respect of the men,
ory of Senators Morgan and Pettus
OF Alabama. Cannon was reelected
Speaker of the House and after the
usual preliminaries adjournment
was had to the following day at
noon when both houses recon
vened. Owing to the fact of the
adjournment early Monday, the
Presidents message was not sent
in until Tuesday. Among the many
subjects embraced in the message,
the most important to the country
at this time is a recommendation
OF revision of the currency laws.
On this subject the message reads
in part:
We need a greater elasticity in
our currency; provided of course
that we recognize the even greater
need Of safe and secure currency.
There must also be the most rigid
examination by the National
authorities. Provision should be
made for an emergency currency.
The emergency issue should OF
course, be made with an effective
guaranty, and upon conditions
carefully prescribed by the Govern
ment. Such emergency issue must
be based on adequate securities
approved by the Government, and
must be issued under a heavy tax.
This would permit currency being
issued when the demand tell off.
1t is worth investigation to de-
termine whether officers and di-
rectors Of national banks ever be
allowed to loan themselves. Trust
companies should be subject to the
same supervision as banks; legis-
lation to this effect should be en-
acted for the District of Columbia
and the Territories.
An income tax is recommended
as follows:

an inheritance tax should receive
the careful attention of our legis-
lators. In my judgment both of

A man who became operator of an
airship purely through chance is
Captain Frank Fuhr who will make
three ascensions at the county fair
this week Even though Fuhr has
been engaged in his hazardous voca-
tion all summer and has taken a
great liking for it. he says that he
does not expect to follow 1t perman-
emily
"As soon as the company can find
man who is able to operate
the ship and who has the nerve to
undertake 1t. expect to return to
my home in Coshocton and take up
my business affairs" said Fuhr in
talking with several reporters, Tues
day. Mr.. Fuhr is man who would
be regarded in Marion as moderately
wealthy. In Coshocton he has q
real estate business and is president
of a loan company and private bank.

stands in the center OF a triangular
framework on which Mr.. Fuhr Is
stationed while making his flights
and must be in perfect running order
so that there will not be the slight
est possibility of breakdown during
an ascension.
The aeronaut stopped his work
and for an hour or more talked with
the newspaper men, explaining the
mechanism of his ship and relating
some of the innumerable interesting
experiences which he has had since
becoming an aerial navigator,

Il most certainly do" was the aer-
onaut's answer. THE day will come
when this sort of travel will be COM
mon. but just how soon is hard to
guess. When II does come, however,
travel will not be made by means of
ships carried by inflated bags, but by
aeroplanes. Five years ago an air
ship was unknown in this country
and even now the science is in its in

the heavens without the least trepi-
dation
At the last minute, with thousands
of people waiting to witness the first
ascension, it was found that Wilson
was too heavy and that furthermore,
he lacked the requisite nerve. 1t was

tops he soon mastered the steering
apparatus and had the machine under
full control.

Fuhr. Il made several circuits about
the city and then brought the ship

Fuhr on at least one of his ascen-
