THE BRITISH MUSEUM.

The British museum, famed all over
the world. was born of a lottery. 1t
was in 1853 that the trustees of Sir

coins, manuscripts, printed books and
natural history curiosities. AS an ad-
ditional inducement to the state to pro
vide house room it was pointed out
that the Hap!eian collections of manu-
scripts could still be secured for the
nation on payment of 10000 and that
the collection of Sir Robert Cotton. a.

ma ton. was so carelcsSIy housed that
q large part had already been destroy

The government refused to ind the
cash but declared its readiness, after
the true British sporting manner to
allow the public to gamble the British
museum into existence. A lottery was

is IT FOR Us,

Authorities at Portland report
that the fast stern wheeler Tele-
graph left that city March 18th for
Seattle and is 10 take Sound run;
it is further stated that the lessees
of the I. c. Reed have arranged for
this steamer TO take its place AT an
early date.
This sounds good, il, as We are
hoping. the Telegraph is going on
our run. BY the way, many Of Us
believe that an earlier and late boat
would prove paying Investment
all around, as we understand there
are various town people, who have
their eyes turned to our community
and are waiting a chance TO come
out, and still hold their town jobs
these home seekers are the class OF
people we want they will prove
desirable not only for us but for
the transportation company, a.
with good morning and evening
service, the distance from the city
would be no obstacle whatever to
citizens residing here and working
in either town.

Ht NEEDS BE PROSPEROUS.
How the Washington Farmer
pays the Taxes.

This is what Commissioner Frost
who has been studying the tax pro-
blem OF this state says OF the tax
paying farmer.
In this state, as in all other
states retaining our system, real
estate pays practically all OF the
tax; personal property, for the
most part, escaping. For the cur
rent year, 1907 personality repres-
ents but Il per cent of the>taxable
property OF the state, while as>mat-
ter OF fact, nearly 20 per cent of
our wealth is purely personal. The
county assessors and their deputies
assess all the property they are
able to discover. The farm mach
merry, tools, horses, cattle and other
personal property of the farmer,
are visible, easily found and count
ed; they do not escape their mar
ket value is common knowledge,
hence the assessor has 30 difficulty
in assessing them at a ull and fair
value. Intangible, and other easily
concealed personal property escapes
almost entirely. Stocks OF goods,
manufacturing plants and supplies,
manufactured articles, etc, the value
OF which is OF bu, common knowl-
edge, the quantity of which cannot
be rapidly and easily ascertained
and which requires a special knowl-
edge and skill to appraise, escape.
at a very small proportion OF its
value. The result is that til,
farmer pays most OF the persona
property tax

Both Legs Cut Off.

Thomas Roylance of the Springville
contracting firm of Roylance & Reynolds
had both legs severed by an engine this
morning. About 10 O'Clock he was
standing on the track of the Utah Cop
per railway, and owing to the dense fog
did not see the approaching locomotive
until it was upon him. The unfortu-
nate man was knocked down and the
wheels passed over both legs, complete
ly severing them.
Mr.. Roylance was taken on special
train to Salt Lake and placed in st.
Marks Hospital. AS he is about so
years of age, the outcome of the case is
looked upon with much apprehension
by his friends. He is brother of ex-
