TEN TEN MILE FOOT RACE
AND WRESTLING BOUT
Double Attraction at Auditorium To-
night John Larson Confident of
Throwing Emil John RosseI.
AL. RAINES is AT HIS BEST

A ten-mile foot race and a wrest-
ling bout to a finish will be the
sporting attractions in the Auditori-
UNI tonight and it is adjudged that
no such program as the management
has arranged for this occasion has
ever before been attempted at the
same price anywhere in this part of
the state. Ii both events turn out as
present indications point to either of
them will be worth more than the
price of admission.
AL. Raines, the Quickest of plucky
little runners, will race two men in q
ten-mile contest. He claims he is in
such tip-top shape as to almost make
certain a victory against three run
ners over the scheduled ten miles.
This event will start at $3.50 o'clock
sharp.

Horse Dentists.

In every large city there are now
dentists who devote their entire atten-
ton to horses, and they are kept r
prisingly busy the year round. The
equine dentist is of course provided
with special instruments for the ex-
traction and filing Of the teeth OF ami
mails needing attention. It Is rather
Interesting to observe an operation In
horse dentistry. One of the tnstru-
ments, called a spectrum, presents the
appearance of an ivory handle and
four small bars of nickel working on
a ratchet and crossing one another in
such a u as to form a hollow
square that can be made large or small
by the turning of a screw. Setting
this device to the proper size, the
horse dentist will slip it gently into
the suffering animals mouth. which,
during the operation, Is kept partly
open by a groom. and when the instru-
ment is fitted upon, say, n OF the
back teeth the beasts mouth Is kept
open as wide as possihie--Harper's

Keyport, Oct. 31:-The Century
Athletic Club bowling team was de-
feated by the Red Bank Young Mems
Christian Association at that place
last Thursday night. Ackerson, OF
the Centurys, was high man for both
high score and average, his scores
being, 1874, 200, 144 and average
176. Maurer, of the Centurys, was
in poor form. Costa also fell below
his standard.
The first game was Red Banks
from the first, but the second should
have been the Century's as they had
a good lead until the last two frames,
when some hard luck splits settled
their chance. In this game Ackerson
rolled 200. This was the first match
of the season for the Centurys,
which, combined with strange alleys,
had a good deal to do with their de-
feat. A different result is looked for
when a return game with the Y. M.
c. A. will be rolled at the Brunswick
bowling parlors here.
Hyer, the Century's star roller,
Twas unable to accompany them. This
also made a difference. The Cen
turys rolled in hard luck during the
whole match, receiving split after
split on a good hit. AS will be seen
by the score Maurer was beaten by
his opponent two out of the three
games and Costa was beaten all three
games by his man. Armstrong sue
eeeded in capturing two out of the
three games from his man, Brennan
losing two of his games and winning
one. Ackerson was there with the
goods and captured all three games
from his opponent. Ackie's "she
ball" was on the w%arpath. Some diff;
ference will be made in the standing
of the first six men in the tourna-
ment.
Although the first five men in the
elimination contest succeeded in
making the team, they must continue
to roll high to keep their positions,
as the averages of the contestants on
both the first and second teams are
kept from each match, thereby Civ
ing those on the second team a
chance to make the first team by
raising their average. This plan also
gives the advantage of keeping the
five highest rollers ON the first team.
The scores are averages of the con
testants are as follows:

LIVELY GAME THROUGHOUT

The Crescent basketball team, of
Midtown, went down to defeat to the
tune of 20 to 10 before the Dexter

night. The game was excellent, the
teams being evenly matched and
playing fast at most instances. A
good crowd was on hand, each team
having a number of their followers
there to root for them.
At the end of the first half the
tally stood Is to s in favor of the

Vancouver Tries Single Taxandlt Win:

time since the incorporation of the

Since the first of the year six
steel sky-scrapsrs have been pro-
jected, two of them are already un-
der construction, and plans have
been drown for more.
"Seventy-five per cent of the
factory workers and wage earning
class in Vancouver own their own
homes"
The land owners are among
those who are most pleased with
the new tax. The adoption of the
plan has followed rising
market" and the wiping out OF
the improvement tax has been ac-
complished without any increase
in the tax value, which has re-
manned 20 mills on the dollar.
Thus the burden of the tax has, in
effect, merely been transferred
from improvements - actual and
prospective - and put upon the
"unearned increment" The tax on
this "unearned increment has
produced ample funds for the
lcity's needs.
Boosters" for the city find the
single tax the best thing they
have yet discovered for their pur-
pose.
The tax will tend to keep down
fictitious values and to steady
real values which the coming of
new people and Industries will
constantly push up.
Hence the satisfaction of the
land-owning class.

and in 1906 the people were ready
for an encore.
Lets try reducing the building
tax by an additional 20 per cent
they said.
Again the effect was immediate
almost startling. Where old
shacks had stood, stone and iron
buildings began to rise. The build
ling operations of Vancouver were
soon out of all proportion to in
creased population in similar west
lern cities. No city on the coast
could show any such per capita in
crease.
Well" said the people of Van
couver, "if part is so good why
not take the whole doee?"
So, on Jan. 1, 1910, the remain
ing 20 per cent was removed, and
all real estate improvements be-
came exempt from taxation.
l asked Mayor L. ID. Taylor as
to what has been the effect of the
last step. He replied:
Beginning with the election of
last January, when the single tax
system was adopted by the council
in its entirety. permits for build
ings have been applied for at a

CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-While on
the Pacific coast, I visited the city
of Vancouver, which has become
the single tax experiment. 1t is
the first city of metropolitan size
the first AMI only one on the
continent-to do away with all tax
on improvements and to apply in
its stead a tax on the rental value
of land.
The experiment is pronounced
IAN unqualified success"
Fifteen years ago the city decid-
ed to encourage building by reduc-
ing the improvement tax so per
cent. The effect was immediate.
1t was also steady and permanent,
