THE BOARD RECONSIDERS
ABATEMENT APPLICATION
County Commissioners Yesterday Rescnded Former Action
Of Rejecting Pine Tree Lumber Co. s Application
for Abatement and Reduction Of Valuation.

The board of county commission
ers, at its session yesterday after.
noon, adopted a resolution rescind-
ing the action of the board taken at
the meeting of May 4, at which time
the board rejected the application
OF Samuel Tribbey to have the 1908
taxes of the Pine Tree Lumber COM
pany abated from an assessed valu-
alton of of $540,557.OO to $780,
473.O0, difference in valuation OF
$81,O84.OO
When Mr.: Tribbey appeared be-
fore the board, on May 4, he claimed
that the difference in valuation
which the company had requested
be abated was the Is per cent added
by the State Board of Equalization,
at its meeting held last September.
Mr.. Tribbey further claimed that
the raise made by the board was
unfair and out of proportion to the
manner in which other companies
of the same character are assessed.
BY the action of the board yester
dav afternoon, the matter is left
open for further consideration by the
board, whereas the action on May 4
refused Mr.. Tribbey's application

American Woman's League.

The following abstract of an article
clipped from the Daily Banner OF Mt.

MANY Augusta people, as fourishing

Usher of the Woman's National Daily
of st. Louis, Mo-, and it is his plan to
erect chapter houses in many places
and provide other monuments TO this
enterprise There are already nine
chapters organized in Maine and 1T is
hoped there will be many more in the
near future. The article referred to
is an offer made by Rev. F. II. Hunts
berger to his native town, Mt. Vernon,
after an investigation of the institu-
tions and plans of the league. The
same plan will doubtless be followed
wherever a chapter is organized. In
the article Mr.. Huntsberger says:
Now to show my absolute faith In
this enterprise, l will personally guar
antee in writing the investment of the
first so women who join this league
in Knox county.

interest 1t is hoped that with the CO.
operation of our citizens a wOmens

the use and under the entire control of
the local chapter here For $50 men,
bers a $1,000 chapter house, and for
200 members a $4,000 house, on condi-
ton that the ground be secured on
which to build. Already 25 have joined
the league, including people from other
parts of the country. Any one in the
county, or even outside of it, may be-
come a member of our Mt. Vernon
chapter and share in it's local benefits,
which will consist of free access to all

The PLuMsERs~WIN.
Edwards Lose After Scoring Six Runs
In the Second inning.

The Plumbers defeated the Edwards
in the City League game played
Wednesday afternoon on the Reuel
Williams Athletic field by a score of
nine to seven, Notwithstanding the
bringing in of six runs by the Edwards
in the second inning. The game
abounded in errors and stolen bases
and it was by heavy hitting of their
own batters and their opponents en-
rors that the Edwards were enabled to
get their one good inning.
Neither side scored in the first in
ming and in the second the Plumbers
got only one score, so that it looked
pretty dubious for the Plumbers when
the second inning ended with six
to one score against them The Ed
wards got another score in the third
and the Plumbers three in the fourth,
making the tally seven to four against
them. Neither side scored in the fifth
and the Plumbers got onto their feet
in the sixth with four runs, putting
them one ahead. Neither side scored
after that for two innings and the
Plumbers clinched their victory with
an extra score in the ninth.
McCurdy and Goodchild each struck
out nine men. Murphy played a good
game for the Edwards, getting two
base hits. with a total of four and scor-
ing two runs. The score in detail:
