STATE ASSESSMENT INCREASED
100000,

Olympia, Wash. Sept. 18-Assessed
valuations of all property in the state
this year as reported to the state board
of equalization aggregate about 1874, =
900, 900, an increase of about 5000, 600, =
900 over the county board aggregates
of last year. All county reports are
in, except personal property for Kitti-
tas county. and the state tax commits
sion has completed its assessments of
railroad, electric lines. etc., except for
the few miles owned by the Washing
ton Oregon line.
Real property this year is returned
at about $127, 900, 900 more value than
in 1907. This includes lands. city and
country, and improvements thereon.
A good share of this increase, the tax
commissioners claim, is due to the
higher rate at which timber lands have
been valued.
Timber lands. classified separately
as such this year for the first time,
are valued at nearly STA. 900, 000 Last
year they were classified as "unim-
proved lands Just what the increase
on timber lands has been is not known,
because last year King and Spokane
and several other counties neglected to
distinguish in their reports between
improved and unimproved lands and all
went in under the latter classification.
Per onal property as reported by the
counties so far aggregates not quite
STA, 900. 900, which is less the exemp-
tions of more than $1,000, 900. This
is nearly $40, 900, 900 apparent decrease
from last years total, but when it is
considered Kittitas county will add
about 50, 500, 900. and when it reports
that $40, 900, 900 worth of railroad
rolling stock has been taken out to be
put in as railroad operating property
and that property valued last year at
nearly $1,000, 900 is not assessed this
wear, being covered by the new law
exempting credits, it will be seen this
last has also shown gain.

UNJUST CRITICISM

j Perhaps no class Of people meet with
SO much or SO we're criticism as teachers.
| Much ef this criticism is unjust and
exists solely because parents and others
| listen to unverified reports and do nothing
to acquaint themselves with the real inner
| workings Of the school room. Any per.
son experienced with children knows that
these reports, even when absolutely truth
ful from their point Of view cannot be re-
lied upon. Again, any one who has the
training OF children, has experienced the
mortifying that even the best trained
children sometimes woefully lapse from
their knowledge of good manners and
courtesy when away from home and
among other children. Some mothers
will not tolerate any correction OF their
children's manners by the teacher, taking
it as direct insult to their home training,
when ii is but the result of childish heed
lessness or self-Will. No greater injury
can be done than to condemn her at home
in the presence of pupils. There are
many-they usually allude to teacher
as school-marm--who persist in believing
and encouraging that school teacher is
never to be regarded with other than sus-
picion.

THE PRACTICAL YOUNG MAN


There are three great rocks ahead Of the
practical young man who has his feet
upon the ladder and is beginning TO rise.
First drunkenness, which, Of course, is
fatal. There is no use wasting any time
on the young man who drinks liquor. no
matter how exceptional his talent. Sec-
ond, speculation. The business OF spec
ulator and that of manufacturer or man
OF affairs are not only distinct, but incom-
patible. The manufacturer should go for
ward steadily, meeting the market prices.
When there are goods to sell, sell them;
when supplies are needed, purchase them,
without regard to the market price in
either case have never known specu-
latiye manufactured of bnsiness man who
scored permanent success; heis rich one
day, bankrupt the next. The third rock
is akin to speculation-endorsing There
are emergencies, no debut, in which men
shonid help their friends, but there is a
rule that will keep one safe: no man
should place bis name on the obligation
OF another if lie has not sufficient to meet
it without detriment to his business

MODES OF THE MOMENT

With the beginning of March maids and
matrons alike begin to think longing oi
the Easter hat and although it is full
early to speak Of these dainty creations
still the millinery modes have already
declared themselves and everywhere mill
linefy modes have already declared them
selves and everywhere miIliners are hav-
ing openings and the "very latest fashions
from Paris" are displayed. A good many
small hats are shown and among these
are some large toque and turban shapes
that are very smart indeed. Flowers are
Of course used for trimmings, as is always
the case at this season of the year but a,
good many more feathers are seen than is
usual Id the spring and summer styles.
Some Smart Hats
IA medium sized hat of white chip has
the brim sloping down little towards
the back in the modified mushroom STYLE
II is trimmed around the rather high
crown with large pink roses and about
them is graceful draping Of mousseline-
de-soie worked in eyelet embroidery Ell
feet. Another stunning chapeau seen at
an opening was rather large shape OF
Copenhagen blue straw trimmed around
the left side Of tlie crown with long
ostrich plume that hung over the brim in
the back. Across the front was one Of
the new broad bows made Of inch and a
half ribbon with two loops ON each side
Of the knot. Then there was large tur-
ban OF soft brown straw, twisted and ma
nipuiated into artistic curves and folds.
This was adorned on the left side with a
soft bunch of ostrich plumes in dull
shades of brown and tan that gave an in,
describabe softening touch to the face.

USEFUL THINGS TO KNOW

q Some sand or pebbles, put in tall, sler
/ der vases containing flowers, will proven
their tipping over.
j If iewelry is sent periodically to
jeweler for cleaning and repolishing q
will-at nominal cost-always look lik,
new.
To take grease out of leather apply th.
white OF hn egg to the spot and dry ii
the sun. Repeat the application till the
stain is removed.
Mica in stoves is readily cleaned by
taking it out and washing thoroughly
with vinegar diluted. If the black does
not come off at once let it soak a little,
Water standing in room is a good dis.
infectant, as it absorbs all impurities.
If your coal fire is low throw on a
tablespoonful of salt and it will help it
very much.
Pumpkin seed are very attractive to
mice and traps baited with them will
soon destroy their nests.
Windows may be kept free from ice and
polished by rubbing the glass with a
sponge dipped in alcohol.
To test nutmegs, prick them with a
pin, and il they are good the oil will in
stantly spread around the puncture.
Never fill an oil or spirit lamp or a
parafin lamp either, for that matter,
while it is alight 1t is quite easy for the
yapor to catch FIRE and set the spirit or
oil, in the bottle ablaze, and an explosion
will most likely follow. Always turn the
lamp out before refiling it.
After filing a lamp, too, be careful to
wipe the outside dry, for any trickle Of oil
on the sides might easily catch fire.
Don't allow the oil to stand in the lamp
for very long. If it is not burned, it
jshould be thrown away. 1t gathers inn
