the fire-swept district to the north
of this city, where flames are spread
ing untold death and desolation I'M

that the number of dead will exceed
SO and may run up well towards 100
Early yesterday it was known that
22 had been sacrificed to the flames.
Later advices confirmed this report

victims. 1t is certain that the casual
ties will largely exceed every pre-
vious report. In some cases whole
families lost their lives in the flames.

Washington, Oct 19.-"I expect
to be elected to the Presidency" said
Judge Taft, standing In the East
Room of the White House last even
ing, facing 80 or 40 newspapermen
who had gathered to meet him after
he had spent the day as President
Roosevelt's guest.
The answer was in response to a
question after a brief discussion of
Mr.. Taft's recent tour through the
Southern states, of which he has
spoken as pleasing experiences.
Judge Taft expressed a delicacy in
revealing the issues which he and the
President had, discussed and when
pressed for statement as to the
Presidents views of the situation, he
would only say, "The President is
not a pessimist.' -
Nor am l." he added.
While not especially arranged for
that purpose, the Presidential can
didate found in his stay here a con-
venient opportunity for a consulta-
ton with the President, who Is his
chief adviser, and that both were
pleased with the arrangement and
made the most of 1t was made evil
dent by the fact that they spent the
entire time in the company of each
other and for the most part with
others excluded.

The arrival of Admiral Evans feet
of warships at their destination on the
Pacific coast four days ahead of sched-
ule time stirs anew the pride the Am
erican people feel for their navy. The
growth of the new navy has been re-
markable. especially so when we con-
slider that it has been built up within
a few years, our first iron-clads being
the crude monitors that were developed
during the civil war. At that period
the navies of the world were of wood,
the appearance of the armored vessel
changing the whole plan of naval con-
suction. and making obsolete the
navies of the civil war period.

Railroads and Prosneritx.

It is but natural that soRne people
fear that the railroads may attempt to
mask the commercial situation and
spread the impression that business is
abnormally dull. Railroad men are
only human, and they have their par
ticular point Of view, which they stand
by as jealousy as any other element IN
the community defends its convictions
The railroads cannot go BACKWARD
without cutting their own threats, and
they are not likely to commit that fol
ly. They may, however, mark time
and not be much the worse off for the
breathing spell.
But If the railroads should call hal
upon all improvements and shut off
vast vein of expenditures which To-
seven years has helped to swell tht
volume of prosperity, 1t does not follow
that hard times will be a certain re
suit. The Iron Trade Review points
out that railroad enterprise runs 1t
periods. 1t says that within the pas
twenty years periods of heavy rail
road expenditure have been followed
by periods of light expenditure, yet thu
general prosperity of the country was
not affected. The argument of the Re
view seems to be that other industries
take quick advantage of the new ia
cilities created by the railroads during
a period of extension and improvement
and that feature alone prevents {
slump in prosperity, even when the
railroads suddenly adopt conservative
methods. Furthermore, when the rail
roads are not brisk buyers in the sup
ply markets other interests have thei
chance, and there is really a better dis
trlbution of benefits. When the rail
roads compete, the raw material is tieC
up and operation is monopolized by ;
few great mills. On the whole. thi
paper thinks that, given adequate ia
cilities for transportation, "the whole
rank and file Of industry" is favored
when railroad competition in the sup
plies and labor market Is only normal.

Dogs Not Taxable.

Dogs are not taxable in Washing
ton. This is decreed b.. the state board
of tax commissioners. j. E. Frost. a
member of the commission has written
a letter, which is made part of an
opinion by the board, in reply to a
question raised by l.. Ozum, rancher
in Lewis county, as to why CANNES
should not be taxed as personal prop
erty. After going into details. Mr..
Frost clinches his argument in these
words: at is an axiom that the more
dogs man possesses the more shiftless
and impecunious he is, and that the
number of dogs in neighborhood is a
never failing index of the thrift and
character of the population. So far
as We have been able to ascertain, our
courts have never been called upon
to interpret the status of the dog, and.
in consequence. we are without a guide
to our faltering footsteps. and must
perforce grope in the dark without the
Illuminating rays of judicial wisdom
to dispense the mists of ignorance that
befog our pathway"
We are inclined to believe that the
mists of ignorance needs dispeling
from the pathway of our friend Frost.
especially in the question of dogs.
There are dogs and dogs. just as
there are men and men. If tax
able value were placed upon men, the
county would find a bunch of them on
its hands at the first tax sale, but ur-
fortunately they would not be so easy
of disposition as the dog, But if the
dog that this man owns were taxed,
the lord high executioner could make
a good dog of it if the taxes were not
duly paid.
In all earnestness. if dog is worth
owning it is worth paying taxes upon.
If it is worth paying taxes upon it has
money value that should be estab-
lished by law, and if the dog is NAL
iciously killed it's value should be
collectible and the killer punished.
Dogs should be treated as property,
and when that is done. better ones will
be owned, and man will get dog
because he has use for it. And per-
haps it would be we'll if a law were
passed providing that our canine
friends should not run at large unat-
tended. The cultivation of flower
beds and the irrigation of rose bushes
would be at least more within our
control, and neighbors would get along
with less friction.

The people can not fail to appreciate
the dignified, straightforward campaign
Wesley l.. Jones is making for the
office of United States Senator to sue
coed Levi Ankeny. Jones has come to
be looked upon at the national capital
as one of the solid, dependable men,
a man whose opinion is sought and
whose word is given weight. The ar
gument advanced by MIR. Ankeny in
his personal appeal' that he will be
able to do more than a new man does
not hold good, for Jones has proven
himself much the better of the two in
promoting legislation and caring for
the interests of his state. and he will
not step into the senate in any sense
as new man. Jones' service of ten
years in congress has given him wide
acquaintance among public men, and a
keen insight into the methods of con-
Quoting the public business, and as a
senator he will be in a position to be
of the greatest possible service to his
state.

The decision of that North Yakima

man criminally liable who fails to

MisIaid Bank Denositora.

One of the curious things about the
Knickerbocker Trust company's affairs
disclosed by the recent suspension of
the concern is that depositors for $780,
900 cannot be located After some
search one depositor was found living
within q hundred miles of New York
who had $4,000 on deposit. He paid
no attention to the closing of the bank
doors and acted as though he had for
gotten that he was a depositor.
Maybe he had intended to change his
bank and overlooked the fact that he
had not done so.
1t is often said that stories of wealth
held in the Bank of England for the
owners or their heirs to claim are
largely mythical. A list of depositors
showed that last year there were some
who had not been heard from in years
and were last located In Cape Colony,
the California gold fields or CONSTANT
up, and it is fair to assume that the
same will be the case with some of
the Knickerbocker Trust company's
missing people. Reports since the fail
ure show that the classes which fur
nish globe trotters and adventures are
represented on the books, such as au-
thors and theatrical folks. New York
savings banks hold vast sums In I'm.
claimed deposits, ranging from a few
dollars to thousands. Trust companies
are in the nature of savings banks for
those who have a big sum to safe
guard. Doubtless they hold an aggre-
gate of several millions marked "un-
claimed"
