Significant Ruling.

Soon after tie ~ieValuation experts
began work announcement was made
that the work was really too arduous
to be completed by the date in Sep
tember named in the legislative resolu-
ton, and that It would have to be pro-
longed to perhaps the end of the year.
That would leave the matter in the
air when the November elections take
place. 1t was about that time that
Judge Garrison declared that railroad
property could not be assessed extra
on account OF its use, as being double
taxation The rule thus laid down
.bore SO significantly upon the work.
of the State experts that there was
every reason to aplrehend a great pop
ular disappointment. which would la
a bad effect politically in November.
In the meantime, David Baird.
who has nov been adjudged by the
Supreme Court as having assessed
railroad property from $780, 09, 900 to
so. 000.0 00 more than he ought to have
done under the law. no Doubt smiles
complacently. He bad been accused of
Placing e~xtravagantly low vaiuations
on railroad property. and had been
,soundly berated for 81 doing. and the
courts now jump upon David for ex-
cessive railroad valuations and order
him and his board to make enormous
reductions.

IMMENSE GUT IN
RAILROAD TAXES
BY RETALIATION
Disastrous Effect on Valuation
by Two Recent Decisions
of Supreme Court.

TRENTON, July 13.-There Is an un-
easy feeling in official quarters as to
the result of the expert r%evaluation of
railroad property in the State that is
now in progress. The resolution that
was passed by the Legislature at the
last session was based upon the as
sumption and belief that the State
Board of Assessors had, by neglect or
design, greatly u~ndervalued railroad
property in New Jersey for assessment
for taxes. The charge had frequently
part of the political indictment against
the Hon. David Baird, of Camden,
president of the board. But two re-
cent Supreme Court decisions nave
opened the eyes of State officials.
On June 10 last the Supreme Court
entered a rule. On motion of Collins &
Corbin, attorneys for the New York,
S~usquehanna inc Western Railroad
Company, in It's suit against David
Baird and the State Board of Assessors
in favor of the railroad The
State board for 1907 assessed real estate
of the company at Edgewater, in Ber-
gen County, three times the value of
the adjacent individual property be-
cause of the use of the railroad real
estate. This method of y~aluing railroad
real estate has been employed by the
State board in every case of assess
ment. Between. the Hudson and New
ark railroad property is assessed four
times and from Newark south it is as
sessed three times h value of the in
dividual property mex TO it. In giving
judgment the Supreme Court said:

The Courts Decision.

-
The court having inspected the rec
ord and proceedings brought up by the
writ of certiorari in this case and ex-
amined the testimony and other evil
dence returned by the State Board of
Assessors, and having considered the
reasons filed by the prosecutor and the
arguments of counsel for the prose-
cutor and DEFENDANTS;
And 1t appearing, and the court ind
ing as a fact, that the valuations placed
by the State Board of Assessors Upon
the lands of the prosecutor, upon which
the assessments brought up by the writ
of certiorari in this cause were based,
ARE in excess of the true or market
value of said lands; $50.
ut is ordered and adjudged that the
valuations, assessments and taxes for
the year 1907 of and upon the lands of
the prosecutor situate in the borough of
Edgewater, in the county of Bergen,
brought up by the writ of certiorari in
his cause, be Cancelled and reduced, as
follows:
THAT the item designated storage
track and piers, 50, 800 be set aside and
Cancelled, and that upon the item desig-
rated two coal piers and engine house.
$210, 000,' the valuation and assessment
be and the same is hereby reduced to
Sis. 900"
The true or market value of property
is estimated by comparison with prop
erty of the same character. The lands
n buildings on either side of the
railroad main stem belong to local
ratables,} and are assessed n taxed
locally. 1t Is reasonable to believe that
this assessment is not u~njustly low,
while in most taxing districts it is
high. Since 1906 there has been a large
increase in the rate of local property
valuations and no corresponding in
crease in the State board rate of as
sessments. If there has been no ma
terial increase since 1854 in the valua-
lions of railroad property in existence
and assessed that year, the fact Will
make considerable difference now but
it cannot save the valuations on main
stem property last assessed by the
board. There must be a reduction of
from one-half to three-fourths in every
Ease.

PROFIT IN CASTOR BEANS.
A Crop of Southern California Which
 Yields $10o Per Acre.

From the Technical World Magazine.
 A novel industry, yet one which Is said by It's owner to be very remunerative on small capital. has been quietly carried on in southern California for some tine by an elderly German rancher, who brought the secret, if secret it can be called, from southern Europe. when he migrated westward several years ago.
 Castor beans are the sole crop grown by this German. and for their growing he uses nothing but bare, semi-arid valleys and gentle sloping hillsides. on which, owing to lack of water, nothing else will grow to good advantage. He supplies, of course, only small part of the castor beans in use in the world but his Is be- lieved to be the only ranch of It's kind in California, if not in the United States, much of the oil being prepared from the seeds of the wild shrubs, which grow in great profusion in some parts of America and Mexico.
 When the beans were sacked and weighed, all the small ones having been culled out in the winnowing process. Brass discovered that he had between four and five tons of as fine beans as could be produced anywhere in the world. For these he received cents per pound, almost $100 per acre, from his five acres.
 The work done on the beans had been all his own, with the aid of one horsv, and had been performed at spare times from caring for a large barley field which he owned. The beans were so much more profitable than the barley that the thrifty German the next season set out 15 more acres to the oil-producing shrubs. From these he has consistently during the eight or nine years since that first ex- pertinent, received an income averaging $1o0 per acre. At times of great yield, apparently when the castor bean produc- CTS of other parts of the world were un- loading big stocks on the market prices have gone down. but MT. Brass has never received less than cents per pound for his beans, and. during one or two years, the price went up as high as 6 cents The demand for the beans Is al- ways good, and Brass believes that a field of 100 acres would be more prof1ta- ble than 100 acres of alfalfa. one of the best paying crops of southern California.

BIG ONION CROP.
Texas Growers Clear About $600,O0
 This Season.

San Antonio. Tex, August 14-(Special.) That the southwest Texas onion grow CTS have cleared over s6O0.00o on this years crop is now an established fact. Divided among about BOO growers this would give $1200 to each of them. Many of these, however. grow onions only on a very small scale and for this reason the big growers must have done remark ably we'll this year.
 Though the crop has been marketed several weeks ago, 1t has only now been possible to get close figures on 1t. Since only 95 per cent of the onion growers belong to associations these are com- plete only to that extent. The shipments amount to a little over 2S00 cars of 300 crates each, sold at prices ranging from 75 cents to s1.25 per crate. Approximately $,12oOOO was received for the crop
 The onion industry in southwest Texas dates from 1904 In that year the first onions were raised by George Copp of CotulIa During the next two years onion raising spread over Dimmit coun- ty. the Laredo district and extending down the Rio Grande valley reached the Brownsville country. In 1905 600 car ship ments were sold and during the following years the shipments increased as indi- cated: 1906 1000 cars; 1907, 1200 cars; 1908, 2400 cars, and 1909, over 2S00 cars. That this seasons crop was not doubled, as was done last year, Is due to the fact that the growers were afraid they would flood the market This years demand, however, has been keen enough to war rant the planting of a larger area during the cofling year. Onions selling at To cents a crate are profitable investment, while at $1.25 they may be considered on par with first-class gold mining stock.

PLANS DASH TO POLE.
Henry Savage Landor Suggests Anglo
 American Expedition.

London Cable to the New York Herald.
 MT. Henry Savage Landor, the famous explorer, told the Herald correspondent Friday that he seriously contemplated making an attempt to find the south pole.
 MT. Landor's idea Is to form an Anglo American expedition and attempt to out do Lieutenant Shackleton's efforts.
 My idea,' said MT. Landor, lis to have only a small expedition, composed of four or five hardy companions whom I know and could trust. I would not think of spending the winter in the polar regions.
 ''I think the whole expedition should take not more than seven months. Since talking with Lieutenant Shackleton I have concluded that the expedition was greatly weakened and his good efforts minimized by too long an exposure to the severe polar climate.
 You know he had to stop at the last moment simply because he had lost his last pony. Besides I think he burdened himself unnecessarily with too large a party.
 My plan. if I can carry It out, Is to travel as lightly as possible-simply dash

 Futures opened steady at g. decline of 10 to Il points in sympathy with lower cables than expected. Weather news was better which caused considerable selling in the English market before the local market opeend. After the opening prices steadied on the very bullish showing of weekend cables. By the middle of the morning prices were within to 4 points of yesterdays closing. Late in the ses- sion short selling was again in evidence in considerable volume, being based on expectations of good weather over Sunday, and prices eased off once more. The close was steady at a net decline of to 10 points.
 Futures this week show a net gain of to 10 points compared with last weeks closing. October gained 10 points and the other active months 2. October's strength was due to talk of squeeze of shorts In that delivery, 1t being the gossip of the market that big spot house intends to demand actual cotton for the large amount of contracts 1t is supposed to hold long in October. Prices rose and fell over wide range nearly every day of the week as the result of contest for the su- premacy of the market by large bearish and bullish interests. The weather of the week was favorable on the whole, but sta tistics were bullish. The result was small net price changes.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 14-(Special.)- IA weak Liverpool with an unexpected de- cline has intensified the bearish feeling, although at times during the short session the market showed surprising strength. From Dallas comes the report that the light rain was scattered over a large area, that the good rains were limited to very small area.
 Nevertheless. the sentiment strongly prevails that spinners will not buy the new crop at present prices though they are buying in small quantities for ship n1ent our stock. Consumption figures coming to hand go far to sustain the belief that the consumption last season was fully up to 100000 bales and is likely to exceed it the coming year. At the moment as for the past fortnight. the only view one hears is the one stat ed above. A large interest has been transferred from October to January dur ing the past two days. f.t
