tor Shipman Will Ask
For Nomination.

MIR. M. L. Shipman, assistant COM
miss ioner of labor and printing, who
has been intending to go as private Sec
retary with Congressman Crawford to
Washington when Congress opens in
December, decides not to leave the SER
vice of the state. He was asked the
pointed question yesterday and replied
that while Washington life might
be very pleasant and profitable in many
ways that he had decided to remain in
Raleigh and continue his work with the
department of labor and printing, with
which he has become thoroughly fami-
liar. He says he enjoys living in Raj
eigh and likes the work of the depart
ment with which he has been connected
for nearly three years now. Mr.. Ship
man moved his family to this city about
two years ago and has been devoling
his entire time to the duties of the posi-
tion he holds.
The report that Mr.. Shipman expects
to be candidate before the next Demo
cratic State Convention for Commis-
having determined not to stand for re-
election, was confirmed. When ques-
toned concerning his Intentions in tEis
regard Mr. Shipman said he would be
in the race at the proper time, but did
not approve the idea of annoying the
people with his candidacy so long before
time for the convention to be held. He
says the Democratic party is aware of
the services rendered it by him in the
past and if the decision should be reach
ed that he was entitled TO recognition at
its haEds, we'll and good. He further
suggested that his record az an officer of
the state government is an open book
and feels confident that he could make
ment, otherwise he should not con-
sent to the use of his name in connec-
tion with the position of commissioner
Mr.. Shipman insists that the old
sterotyped expression most candidates
for Office employ about being Tin the
hands of their friends" may truthfully
apply in his case, as the proposition for
him to become candidate really did
originate with friends and without his
knowledge of their intentions. He ad-
heres to the opinion that a newspaper
man ought to have the place and jocu'
larly remarked that this would be about
all they could expect to get out of the
shuttle" The custom has been to Sc.
lect an editor for commissioner since
the supervision of the public printing
was placed with the department in 1895
and the friends of Mr.. Shipman think
him capable OF filling the bill will

A Suggestion as to Taxes.

note in your issue of the 18th yon
say, in reference to taxes; that all prop
erty owners ought to receiveSqua con-
sideration, that is; each taxed upon q
just and equitable assessment OF his
holdings. This is true, but you omit the
remedy, which herewith submit
The only fair way to arrive at what is
equitable and just, is to publish openly
list of all such property q allude to
real estate onIy,) showing the acreage
total, } the estimated value of lands and
buildings separately, and the aggregate
tax on such holdings for the year.
We can only arrive at a reasonable es-
innate of what our own assessment,
should be, by comparing it with what
our neighbors have to pay; and most OF
US can make pretty close guess at the
relative value of at least adjacent prop
erty.
1t would only confuse matters to in
clude taxes (if any, on personal property,
investments. and the like, as they come
under very different head, as we can
not, as rule, even as to our neares
neighbors, ascertain at all closely what
they really possess in such a shape.
Therefore, claim, such published tax
list should be confined to real estate
lands, buildings, and the like; or in any
case if other taxes levied and listed, the
above two items classed and recorded
separetly. As am not q resident, nor
a capitalist, but only land holder in
your county, in saying this, am not in
huenced by selfish motives,
It may be claimed that one can now
always ascertain their data by appli-
cation TO the proper authorities; but,
even assuming that these never disposed
to misrepresent facts, and always anx-
ious to give such information, to that
very large majority of our citizens
do not live in or very near the town,
such researches cost time and therefore
money. Besides, if all interested in
these matters as taxpayers should in
sist on examining the records, il would
put the proper authorities" to much
loss of valuable time-if not of-patience.
If however, these lists of real estate
taxes, published in each of the county
newspapers Gust as lists of delinquents,
not only would it simplify matters, and
save time to. both the taxpayers and
the tax officers, but it would preYent
any possible misrepresentation; and
even ensure the discovery and correction
of unintentional errors; as it is safe tC
say, nearly every taxpayer would sooner
or later closely scrutinize this tax list

Telegraph Company said today regard
ing the walkout of operators here
last night: 81 received no petitions
and no requests, except petition for
the reinstatement of a discharged op-
orator, Ryan, which l received at four
O'Clock yesterday afternoon. l mad ta-
ken no action when the men walked
out. Ryan was discharged for deliber-
ately delaying messages"
President William Woote1, of the
Los Angeles local union, said: at is
greatly to be regretted that the men
took such hasty action in this case.
The operators, however. were unable
to resign themselves to apparent dis
elimination as between the San Fran

reported the particulars to National

Ta1gier, Morocco, Aug. 8.-A steam.
Casa Blanca reports that quiet has
been restored there among the ma
tives and that Europeans are all well.
The bombardment of tile place by the
French cruisers lasted 48 hours. The
native quarter was much damaged.
Additional French forces were landed
at Casa Blanca yesterday afternoon.
The reported bombardment of Maza-
gan by a French cruiser is confirmed.
French war ships yesterday landed
two thousand additional men at Casa
Blanca, where the strife apparently
continues despite reports to the con-
trary. The Jewish quarter of Casa
Blanca has been sacked. Many pers-
ons were massacred in the streets.
The city is said to be full of dead
Moors and the Moorish quarter is ia
ruins from the shells of the big guns.
The war ships continue to drop an
occasional shell into groups of Ka-
byles on the beach in order to pre-
vent them approaching the town.
Advices from Rabat say that the
Kabyles have given the governor a
fortnight in which to withdraw the
French controller OF customs. Other
wise they say they will attack the
town. Activity among the tribesmen
near Taagiers is creating some ap-
preaension that surprise attack may
be made upon the city.

A POLISH PRiTsT
SHOOTS TWO MEN.

Pittsburg, Pa. Aug. s.-Ludwig Sc
zegial, said to be an unattached Pol
ism priest, walked into hotel on Car
SON street early today. and without
warning shot the two proprietors,
twin brothers named Steven and An
drew Starzynski. Steven died within
an hour and Andrew cannot recover.
The cause of the shooting is mystic
ry. Senegal, who was arrested, re-
fuses to talk, and nothing could be
learned from the victims. Senegal
came to the hotel about ten days ago
accompanied by woman who gave
the name of Francisco Sprock, saying
sne was his hosekeeper. The Sprock
woman was arrested, but denies all
knowledge of the shooting. The wife
of Andrew states that ten minutes be-
fore the shooting her husband went
to the room occupied by Senegal and
reprimanded him for making too
much noise. Andrew then went down
stairs and shortly after, she says, the
priest appeared and opened fire.

crumbling prices of the American
market are attributed to local causes.
principally to reports of tae depress-
ed sentiment in Wall street over the
difficulties in which many corpora
tions find tmeselves with the national

prices, various stocks selling from /

The market later became steadier,
but when the earlier losses mad been
relieved there was no disposition to
follow the advance, and the market
fell into extreme dullness. The price
of Standard Oil stock on the curb

nights closing to ATT upoa the sale
of 75 shares. The stock subsequently
shared in the vigorous rallying ten

FOREST PLANTING ON
THE SEMI-ARiD PLAINS.

The U. S. Forest Service has just
issued a circular devoted to the inter-
ests of forest planters in the western
portions of Kansas, Nebraska, and
Oklahoma, northwestern Texas, east
ern Colorado, and New Mexico.
This entire region is practically
treeless. Here and there, of course.
trees have been planted, but forest
planting has in no way kept pace with
agricultural development. There is
real need for forest growth. BY care
full selection of the species, the choice
of suitable sites, and proper manage
ment of plantations, enough forest
effe4 upon farm development and to
supply wood for most domestic pur-
poses. The object of the circular is
to show just what it is practicable
to undertake in the way Of sucn plan
tations. Planting may be done for any
one of three chief purposes -protec-
ton, wood supply, and shade.
A windbreak consists of one or
two rows of trees planted primarily
for the purpose of checking the force
OF the wind. The term "shelter-belt"
is applied to larger groups of trees
which form forest conditions and
serve a protective purpose. Any spe-
cies which is adapted to the region
may be used for windbreaks. Where
evergreens will succeed, however,
they are more desirable, since they
afford better winter protection than
deciduous trees. A windbreak consist
ing Of a single row should be COM
posed of a densely growing species
with branches close to the ground.
Wherever agriculture is practiced
in the plains region, the farmer will
find it profitable to devote few acres
Of good land to trees.
The circular contains suggestions
as to the choice Of species, with notes
on their requirements. and directions
for planting and care.

THE NEW MEXICO MILITARY
INSTITUTE AT ROSWELL

From Santa Fe New Mexican.
In Saturday issue the New Mexican
published an article on the New Mexi-
CO Military Institute, at Roswell, which
also contained three illustrations.
These and the contents of the article
are sure evidence that in the Military
Institute the people of the Territory
well be proud, and which is fulfilling
in every particular the worthy OBJ
|jects for which it was created. Its
growth il every direction has been
most satisfactory, and it's scope and
usefulness could be increased immed-
ately double and treble were appro-
|priations available for additional build
ings and accommodations for more ca
diets. The number of such for the com
ng scholastic year has already been
secured, and nearly 100 applicants
have had to be refused for lack of
room to properly house and take care
of all the young men and boys VINO de-
sire to attend the Institute, and who
are qualified.
The board of Regents is composed
of as good citizens as can be found
in New Mexico and consists of the
following:
Nathan Jaffa, president; w. M.
Reed, vice president; E. A. Cahooa,
treasurer; W. A. Finley, w. M. At
kinson and James w. Wilson, super
intendent.
The superintendent of the Institute,
Colonel James w. Wilson, is prov
ing himself the right man in the right
place in every way and has been the
directing influence for five years. In
this as in all other matters in life.
nothing succeeds like success" and
nothing proves like full attainment
the fact that Colonel Wilson posses
ses the requisites for the proper admin
listration of the affairs OF the institute
Every member of the faculty has been
selected because of the special fitness
ability and experience.
The equipment of the institute is
not what it should be, but compares
very well indeed when conditions ex.
listing in the rich and populous states
that maintain similar educational in
stitutions and the struggling Terri
tory of New Mexico are considered
In this as in every other respect. mat.
tiers are very creditable, and there Is
genuine cause for congratulation al
around.
