Uniform Assessment.
Tt is true that the law now in force
requires all property to be assessed
at it's actual value, but everyone
knows that no propsfty is assessed at
| its actual value. There is no uniform
ity about the assessment of personal
property. The law is not enforced in
relation to the assessment OF real
estate, and the railroads are only
assessed at small proportion OF
their actual value. 1t seems that the
present law is Insufficient to accom-
plish the results intended, viz: to-
assess property at its actual value
On account of the low assessment
the rate is necessarily high, which is
q bad recommendation to the inn
migrant and to the investor from
other states, and at the same time,
on account of the low assessment
cities are often hampered and some
times prevented from having modern
conyeniences on account of the debt
limit, which is based on the assessed
value of the property. therefore
recommend to you the enactment of
a law providing. severe penalties for
the neglect or refusal of assessors to
assess property at its actual value.

so at its actual value, and for the
neglect or refusal of any member Of
a board of equalization to increase
the assessed value of any property to

State Board Of Equalization.
And I further recommend that the
board of equalization be given power
i to subpoena any property owner to
appear before such board and to
answer upon oath all questions rela.
tive to any property owned by him,
subject to assessment, and to. produce
]:all books and inventories in relation
to the same, and that the state board
/ of equalization be given the fullest
! power to inquire into the value OF
! railroads in this state by subpoenaing
the officers of said roads to appear
before said board and furnish informa
ton upon oath concerning the value
OF railroad property, and the said
railroad companies should upon notice
furnish to the. board of equalization
all books and records required by the
board of equalization, and when the
value Of such railroads. is ascer
tanned by the board of equalization,
such board should be assessed at thei1
actual value, and not at an arbitrary
4 figure, as is now, done, under the
present system.
Protection of Game.
further recommend to you, for the
protection of game in this state, ia
amend the present game law by pro
hibiting spring shooting. believe
. that this amendment will materially
assist in the protection Of game
Spring shooting has a tendency to
drive the birds out of the country
Game is not good at that time of the
year and the killing Of one bird al
that season OF the year would be equal

THOSE CHANGES IN SCHEDULE.
Further Details of the Lengthening
of the Running Time of Trains
Between Chicago, st. Louis
and Colorado.

Schedules of the Union Pacific
Burlington, Missouri Pacific. Santa
Fe, Rock Island and Northwestern
railroads will be heightened six hours
between Chicago and Colorado or
May 1, but the time between Chicago
and st. Louis and the Pacific coast
will remain the same.
This agreement was reached by the
executive heads OF these lines at Chi
cago last week for economy's sake, II
is claimed. since the price of all ma
terIal used In the equipment OF
railroad has gone up in the last few
months. The receipts, as a general
thing, have correspondingly dimin-
ished.
The cost of maItaining the fast
trains is a tremendous item. increased
at times by accidents and their great
er liability. The executive heads de-
cided, therefore, that the reduction
of expense could most naturally be
accomplished by cutting down the
speed OF the trains. keeping how
ever. the present equipment.
The time between Chicago and
Denver has been twenty-seven hours.
After May /, unless the railroads re-
cede from their position, the time
will be thirty-three hours, a differ
ence of six hours. However, neither
Union Pacific nor the Santa Fe. the
only two lines which reach from the
middle West to the Pacific coast Will
lengthen its schedule time between
Chicago and San Francisco and other
points on the Pacific coast.

Every newspaper man, | think.
cherishes the hope that he may some
day be a land owner. own a farm

"The difficulty generally is to secure
good land at cheap price, amid con-
genial surroundings, In fertile dist
rict. where values are now low, but
will soon rise.
These conditions prevail In the
Little Snake River valley in Routt

this is an ideal place in which to es-
tablish n colony of newspaper men.
The valley is beautiful for situation
and in the heart of rich territory to
be opened by the Moffat road. The

build into the valley"

parts of the country have already ex-
pressed their intention OF locating In

SOCIETY WOMEN SMOKING.
fashionable Washington People to
Have Smoking Rooms for the
Ladies-Hablt Is

a dispatch from Washington, D. c.
stores that according to gossip that
is whispered from the inner circles
the latest innovation in the homes of
the smart set here Is the establish
ment of smoking room for the wo-
men; that the habit which long ago
fastened itself on the capitals of Eu-
rope is finding firm place in Wash
ington.
Stories calculated to make the pur-
itanical hold up their hands in hor-
ror are told among the fair ladies of
the Washington smart set. 1t is said
that the habit is already strong and
has seemingly got fast hold on the
feminine part of the Four Hundred

cry all such practices as belonging to
the Understandable diplomatic set,

arctic smoking is limited to the wo-

men Of the highest social circles here
have taken to using tobacco in this
form. Names so prominent that they
would make believers in the simple
life gasp with astonishment If made
public are mentioned in this connec-
ton. 1t will be recalled that when
the Countess Marguerite Cassini, of
the Russian embassy, was here, It
used to be said that she was not
averse to the cigarette. Plenty of
American young women. however, are
now addicted to smoking it.
Without doubt, the practice OF
smoking cigarettes has become SC
common among young women of the
Washington Four Hundred that it is
no longer an occasion for remark
that one is known to have the habit
