Don't KNOW WHAT TO DO
Confusion About the Western Union
Assessment.

County officials are writing letters
to various state officials asking what
they are supposed to Go about the
Western Union assessment which, on
the division Of assessment reported by
the tax commission and state auditor,
was excluded by order of the federal
court.
In this case the tax commissioners
and the state auditor are in peculiar
position, for by the restraining order
of the federal court they can not tell
the county officials what they should
do.
Most of the county clerks will prob
ably take the hint, however, and go
ahead and make their tax levy on the
Western Union assessment which was
reported to them. That assessment
has not been eQualized, but there won't
be any serious trouble II it is used as
the basis for the tax levy. If the state
officers dared to talk. this would prob
ably be their advice to county officials.
The order Of the federal court is
making . good deal Of confusion and
bother for both the state and county

OFFICIAL "SNAPPER. "
Kermit Will Make the Pictures for His
Father in Africa.

New York, Aug. 15.-Kermit Roose-
welt is to be the official photographer
with the presidents party on the
African hunting trip. In preparation
for this important work, the young
man is studying with Frank NJ. Chap
man. the ornithologist, Of this city.
The responsibility which will rest on
Kermit's shoulders, will be heavy, for
all his fathers accounts of his adj
ventures in the jungles of the dark
continent are to be illustrated. It is
also understood that the president is
anxious to bring back photographs of
African birds and animals taken in life
for the big museums, including the
Smithsonian institution at Washington,
and the American Museum of Natural
history here. The president was anx-
ious to have Mr.. Chapman accompany
him, but when this was found to be
impossible, 1t was decided that Kermit
should get a complete camera outfit
and be trained in its use by Mr.. Chap
man.
Mr.. Chapman has long been friend
of the president. He Is associate
ogy of the Museum of Natural His
tory, and has made a study of the
photographing of birds and animals
The question now under considera-
ton by Kermit and Mr.. Chapman is
the best Photographic outfit to take.
1t is expected that the camera alone,
with the several lenses, Including a
powerful long range lens, will cost
about $3.50. He will have to SNAP"
birds hopping and flying, and wild
animals in motion. 1t Is not unlikely
that a taxidermist of either the Amer
the Smithsonian Institute, may ac-
company the president to prepare the
skins of the big game which the presi-
dent expects to kill.
