A cAMPHoR FARM.

Drug to BE Secured In Large Quanti-
ties In Texas.
A ca1npho.s farm is being established
near Floresville, Tex, under the au-
spices of the bureau of plant industry
of the United States department Of ag-
riculture, says a Floresville special to
the New York Tribune. The govern
ment already has large camphor ex-
perimental farm in operation near
Wharton, Tex. It is believed by DR..
w. j. Watkins, who Is In charge Of the
experiments in Texas, that the new
industry has wonderful possibilities
and that the time 10 not far distant
when this state will be one Of the
greatest camphor producing regions In
the world. That title is held by the is
land of Formosa, which is now under
the control Of the Japanese govern
ment. The worlds supply Of camphor
now practically comes from Formosa,
Dr. Watkins says.
The demand for camphor has tncreas-
ed to such an extent in the last few
years that the attention Of not only
the United States government, but Of
all of the leading foreign governments,
has been attracted to the product, and
they are making efforts to open up q
new source of supply. 1olis Is made
necessary by the fact that in the manu-
facture of modern explosives, which
are used in high power guns, camphor
forms an important Ingredient. Now
that the Japanese government controls
the worlds supply Of the product it is
by no means certain that 1t may be OBJ
tanned in the desired quantities at all
times in the future. In order to pro-
vide against any such contingency as
this the growth Of the camphor shrub
Is being encouraged In Texas and
Florida.
The camphor experimental farm at
Wharton was established nearly year
ago. The shrubs have grown wonder
fully WELL They are now as high as
a mans head, and it is believed that
they will quickly attain the size Of a
tree IL permitted to stand. In FormO-
So the ca1nphor tree grows to size Of
three or four feet in diameter. The
process In operation there for extract
Ing the camphor is to chop the trees
down and cut them into small pieces.
from which the camphor is then dis
titled.
Dr. Watkins says that he will adopt
a different method Of operation. He
sows the camphor seeds like wheat OF
oats. and the shrub quickly sprouts.
When 1t has attained height OF about
three feet it will be cut down by a
moving machine at height Of about
one foot from the ground. The severed
portion will be put through the distil-
ling process and the camphor extract.
ed. From the tender stubble other
shoots will spring up. and the cutting
process can be repeated once year for
several years. 1t is said that more and
a better quality of camphor can be OBJ
tanned by this method than by the
process that Is in use in Formosa. The
crop requires no attention except the
sowing and harvesting.
It is said by DR.. Watkins that at
present prices one acre of camphor
would yield profit of about $3.50.

PERSONAL FORTUNE OF s5o,ooo,ooo
Widow Now Called Upon to Pay $780,
600 in Taxes-city Of New York May
Sue to Recover Large Sums for Back
Taxes Of Previous Years-other I'm.
portant News.

New York, Jan. 16.-Fifty million
dollars is the valuation at which the
tax assessors have written down the
personal fortune left by Russell Sage,
the Wall street money lender, on the
tax books for 1907, which the tax de-
partments have just thrown open to
public inspection.
This is easily the biggest individual
personal tax assessment ever recorded
on the city's tax books. Andrew Car
negie, at $5,0O0,O00, has stood at the
head of the list. John D. Rockefeller,
said by some to be the richest man in
the world, came next at $2,500,000 Only
about half dozen other New Workers
pay taxes on s1,OO0,O0O personal prop
erty.
Mr.. Sage. who was regarded as the
champion tax dodger in his lifetime,
escaped with an assessment OF $2,000,-
900, which he sought at first to have
reduced or wiped. off the books. In adj
dition to this, Mrs. Russell Sage, to
whom was left practically all the Sage
hoard, is assessed on $5,000,0O0 per-
sonalty in her own name.
If these two assessments Standard
there is great curiosity to see whether
Mrs. Sage will combat them-she will
have to draw her check in favor of the
city treasury for something like $780,
600. Besides that, there is a very strong
possibility that the city will move to
collect the tax for the two past years,
which 1t can do under the law.
But John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., sub
mits to taxation on only $4,000
worth Of personally Personally In
cludes jewelry, furniture, paintings,
stocks and bonds and everything not
taxed as real estate.
I Under this same list 1t will be OBJ
served that Alfred r. NJ. Goslin,
fugitive from justice and high finance
swindler, is assessed for 100000, or
SO 900 more than John D. Rockefeller.
Jr, Hannah Elias, the negress, who got
$3.50, 900 from old John r. Platt, Is re-
quested to pay a tax on $4,000 worth
Of personally.
William Ellis Corey, comparative
newcomer in the city. who is now In
Europe to marry Mabelle Gilman. 1t Is
said. has not taken the time to swear
off an assessment of 100000.
All of the Vanderbilts total an es-
sessment of s., $780, 900. August Belmont
is let down with tax on 100000. His
brother, o. H. p. Belmont, is assessed
twice that much.
The assessors could find only $4,000
on which Senator Chauncey M. Depew
should pay personally tax while John
w. Gates, who has no more of a home
in New York city than a suite at the
Waldorf, is assessed at $250,000.
j. Pierpont Morgan is assessed at
$500 900 and John Jacob Astor at $780,
900 less. Morgan, according to reports,
has spent millions for art treasures.
Among the assessments are: William
Rockefeller, $250,0OO: H. H. Rogers,
$500, 900; Alfred g. Vanderbilt, $780,
900; Cornelius Vanderbilt, $150,000; J..
Pierpont Morgan, 100000.
