The following, from the Wakefield

interest to Mr.. Wheeler's many friends;
"Mr. and Mrs. Arthur G. Walton oil
Lakeside announced the engagement on
Monday of their daughter, Miss Alice
Jeanette Walton, TO Harry Maynard
Wheeler, son of Pierce Elliott Wheeler
Of Paris. Me-, and nephew Of U. G.
Wheeler, former superintendent ol
schools here. Miss Walton is promi
Dent member of the towns younger so
oial set, a graduate of the local high
school in the class of 1904 and Smith

of the most popular boys in the loca

Thursday the state assessors held
meeting at the court house as provided
by the law for the purpose OF meeting
aud comforting with the assessors OF Tn
several towns. Assessors were presen
from a large number of the towns in th'
central section of Oxford County. No
a long time was spent with any of them
the state assessors taking the towns IN
dividually, glancing over the valuation
books, which had been brought in D.
the town assessors, comparing the sum
mary with their own figures, and askln'
mostly general questions as to whethe
the valuation made by the town assess
ors was in their Judgment the 'ful
value" of the property assessed. Mex
year the state assessors will have On
larged powers, and they told the tow
assessors that at the next years sessio
they should go much more fully into dc
tails than this year. One fact seem
evident from the general trend OF tn
discussion, and that is that the stat
assessors consider the local assessment
as in general too low. In every instanc
so far as noted the valuation Of the tow
fixed by the state assessors on the req
estate is larger than that OF the locs
assessors. Prom here the state assessor
went to Rumford where they had NEE
ing on Friday.

PASS TARIFF THIS WEEK.
Senators begin to Tirc Of Further
Consideration 81 the Subject.

Washington, D. c., July At Is con-
ndertally expected by senators gener-
ally that the Senate will reach vote
on the passage of the tariff bill by end
of the present week.
There Is still much more to be done
and there arc many important features
to he considered but the measure has
been before the Senate SO long that mon
Of all factions and OF both parties are
becoming tired of 1t as has been made
evident sipce action on Friday last on the
income tax question. That subject was
regarded as the eliminating issue and
with Il disposed OF in accordance with
the finance committees Views tho OPP
poncnts Of that organization seem 10
have lost oil heart.
The discussion Saturday was perfume
tory and at no time was there barely
moro thnn a quorum present. All this
indicates to the minds OF the friends OF
tho hlll that there is little more of the
night in the organization. At one Mon
day afternoon the Senate will enroll its
vote on a constitutional amendment look
ing TO the levying OF an income tax. Sen
ator i2rowu of Nebraska is the author of
the resolution on which the vote will he
taken but the proposition Is part OF the
general plan with reference to income
and corporation taxes. There Is no doubt
that tho resolution will be amended by
the senate and 1t Is believed that II will
ran tho gauntlet of the conference and
become law so that before long the
various States Of the Union will be
called upon to say whether they desire
n federal income tax. Twelve States can
defeat the provision.
Other matters remaining to be consii-
cred In connection with the tariff arc
the drawback provision. the customs
court section. the tobacco tax. which II
is generally understood will he increased
and the authorization OF valuation Or a
certain class Of imports in accorda nee
with American prices.
