The Mine Tax Output.

The action of the state board OF
equalization in fixing the tax value OF
ores and coal for 1907, has been
awaited with much interest all over
the state and the news that a material
increase has been made in such valu-
atoms for the present year will meet
with general satisfaction.
The mine output tax law was pass
ed by a republican Legislature four
years ago and since that time the
state has properly received a share OF
the revenues derived from its rich
coal and ore deposits.
A provision of the law requires that
the tax value shall be obtained by de
Quoting from the actual value OF the
coal or ore the cost OF mining It,
This cost is held by the board to
mean only the underground cost OF
getting the coal to the scale and does
not include screening, marketing, etc,
Since this practically places the tax
ON the profits of the mining compan'
les. Since the law Vas first put into
effect there have been new and econ
omical systems of mining introduced
in the various fields, greater veins
have been discovered and developed
and it was expected that the state
board would be cognizant of such
improvements and economics which
have IA bearing upon the net value for
taxation accordingly.
That this has been done viii
confirm the confidence which the PEG,
Pile of the state felt in the republican
state officers who compose the board
and is another demonstration that the
state under a republican administra'
ton is in competent and careful
hands .-Cheyenne Tribune.

The fact has been established that
the people of the United States con

annually grows in our forests. The
increase in the consumption of wood
for thedifferent purposes is far greater
than the increase in population, which
is matter for surprise. But one-fifth of
the forest area of this country is in

A Chicago man Is trying to organise
a society to be known as Nebuchad-

and knees at all times, but will not be
compelled to eat grass. So far this
society has not lourished very largely
but when we come to look at the

we need not be surprised to see a So

Definition of a Tack

Tack, IA short, sharp pointed nail
The comon, ordinary, everyday, do.
mistic tack usually has a flat head on
one end and Il human being on the
other. The tack is most solepiercing
instrument we know of and "A lift
more for its heft then any other arti-
Gle known to ironmongers. 1t can
raise a full-grown man from SIX to
eighteen inches without any apparent
effort in ii catch as catch can contest.
The tack has IA kind of perpendicular
way about it that seldom fails to
make an impression. Well-trained
lacks stand on their heads at night.
They do this in order to make it
warm for papa when he gets up with
the baby. Papa's feet would freeze if
he had to walk on the cold tloor-the
tacks keep his feet off the floor.
Well, anyway, it's IA good thing the
tack is short. Five feet added to its
length would %endanger the human
heart. Does man know when he is
in luck?

By an oversight as to dates the
town election was called for the 18th
of May, instead of the 18th of May
the proper date. The law provides
that the town election shall take place
on the '.second Tuesday of May
AS this date fell on the Sth of May
last year and Immediately following
the school election, it naturally fol
lowed that the elections would Occur
at the same time this year. But the
month came in on Tuesday last year
hence the 9Th of May was the ''sec.

The facts surrounding the demise
of the little Petty boy, who had been
i'll with cerebro spinal meningitis,
casts grave doubts on the contaglon
of that disease. There have been six
children closely quarantined with the
child during its entire sickness and
they have been right with it every
hour of the day during the entire
time and yet none of them have
shown any signs of taking the dis
ease. Mrs. Petty says that her child
never was exposed to the disease, as
she had kept him in the house and
yard all winter and that he had never
had any chance to contract The dis
ease from any source. 1t is "a very
doubtful question about this disease
being contagious, yet every case OF ii
is strictly quarantined as soon as il
makes it appearance.

this program were at their best, and

many of her friends, who made appro-
pirate remarks.

WAGER OF BATTLE.

The First Duels Are said to Have
Been Fought In Italy.
The first duels were fought In Italy.
according to Millingen, who speaks OF
a manuscript discovered at Cassel and
describes a duel between a father and
a son in the reign of the Emperor The
odoric. When Charlemagne forbade
wager of battle among the Lombards
he encountered the fercest opposition
from the mobiles. Early in the ninth
century De Medicis, a knight, defeated
in single combat the bandit Mugel,
who devastated the F'lorentine district
now called after him, Mugello. Ohio
III. granted the prayer of the nobility
for the accomplishment of wager OF
battle In 9ss. Women and priests
were not compelled to accept it The
Normans showed less galiantry. With
them a woman had to accept. nor could
she name champion. Her male op-
ponent. however. was buried to his
waist in the earth. Armed with a
club. he tried TO strike her as she cir
cled around him. his weapon being a
ball of iron al the end of cord. If he
failed to touch her at the third at
tempt be was vanquished. which
meant to him death with dishonor.
Beccarin says that the reason so
many duels were fought in Italy IN
the early days is that where the law
does not afford protection one must
look to single combat to retain the re-
spect Of ones fellow men. In the mid
die ages the ferocity Of Italian duels
passes belief. Amy way OF putting an
enemy to death cogni modoJ Is good
