INCREASE WILL BE MADE
Assessor Bishop Thinks Faulkner County
 Values will be Raised

Tax Assessor ". w. Bishop, who attended the meeting of the assessors with the state tax com mission at Little Rock yesterday, stated this morning that no basis for assessment was agreed upon by the assessors, but everyone agreed to do his best toward get ting the property in his county as sessed at fair valuation.
 Asked as to what would be his policy i'll Faulkner county, MT. Bishop said that he expected con- siderable increase i'll the valua tions ill this county this year, although the increases on the average property owners would be moderate After consulting with assessor from a number of other counties. " said MT. Bishop, "I find that Faulkner county has been well up in the average, especially when compared with the wealthier counties. realize that this coun- ty is not assessed anything like its actual value, but l think the basis here will equal the average ot the state and is much higher than in some counties. For instance, mules in our county are assessed at an average of over P65, while l learn that ill one riCh river bottom county they average only S22. But while Faulkner county has probably been up to th- average of the state n the past, continued MT. Bishop. II am quite sure that the average will be considerably increased this year, and to pay our just proportion of the state taxes our assessment will also have to be raised. A moderate increase will also be great benefit to our county roads and schools and will do much to free the county from debt"
 Mir. Bishop said he had already discussed the matter of assessments informally with a number of local merchants and found that they were willing to a substantial in

MUCH BITTEN BY BEAR.

A thrilling bear story is contained
In report received at the Navy De

the Washington Star.
The captain of a fishing sloop was
brought to the hospital for treatment.
An examination showed that he had
been bitten no less than sixty-four
times by female brown bear and had
received in addition many deep
scratches.
The fishing captain landed one day
on the shore of Rodman bay to hunt
for deer. On HIS return at night he
stumbled on the bear with her two
young cubs.
Before he could use his rife the
bear was upon him. In the struggle
that ensued the man was bitten in all
parts of the body.
For three days he lay where he had

His companions went in search OF

he reached the beach. He was taken

Treatment was administered, al

he would recover. He was out Of the

NATURES SECOND THouaHrA


illustrated By tho Evolution which
Takes Place In F1atAsh.
In the course OF organic evolution
very many strange and quaint develop

compass OF the life of single indi-
vidual member of such race or genus.
says w. ]. Murray in Harper's Week
ly. Nature changes her plans, in fact.
to meet contingencies that occur I'M
expectedly. Probably few who have
any acquaintance with marine fish
have failed to notice something
strange about the appearance of what
are called fatfish. known as the foun-

The question naturally suggests It.
self why this particular genus should
be so different from all other fish,
which, as a rule, are remarkable for
their symmetrical and graceful ap-
pearance. And the answer is very
simple. The fatflsh, instead of swim.
ming in an upright OF vertical posi-
ton, like all other fish. has for some
reason or other taken to the unnat-
ural habit of swimming on its side. II
may be on either side-rfght or left.
This enables It to take up what ap-
pears to be the lazy position OF lying
fat on the bottom of the sea, where 1t
can move about freely in search OF
such food as small marine animals,
mollusks, worms, etc. The young fish

tendency to become lopsided, and grad.

means.
The eye on the under side, Just so
soon as the tendency is shown to fall
over on that side, commences grad
ually to move round to the other or
uppermost side. and finally takes its
place beside the other eye.
This process is strangely brought
about through the twisting of a por-
ton of the bones of the head, which
gives the latter decidedly deformed
and unnatural appearance. The ven.
trail fms become useless and degener-
ate. Impaired fins are developed. the
undulatory motion of which enables
the fish to swim with ease, and even
