VALUATIONS IN LONDON
SHOW LITTLE INCREASE
Smallest Gain in Twenty Years
Is Reported

There are one or two points worth
noting in the valuation lists for the
parishes in the county of London which
have been prepared for next April. The
gross value is put at more than f54,
100000 and the ratable value at more
than f44.750,000, the increases over
1909 being f379.563 and f275.05S, re-
spectively, says the London Globe.
This is the smallest increase for near
ly 20 years, and in the last two years
the falling off has been heavy. No
fewer than 80 parishes show decrease.
compared with 23 in 1909 and 16iin 1908.
The chief net increases in ratable
value are in the city of London, West
minister, Hammersmith, Marylebone and
Wandsworth, while the principal de-
creases are in Poplar, Stepney, st. Pan
cras and Islington. AS the net increase
Is only little over half per cent,
the value of London may be said to be
standing still, and it appears that we
have about reached the limit of eXpan
sion.
Another thing worth remarking is
that the value of agricultural land in
the county, which is only little over.
f15.000,000, has only fallen during the
last year by f117. From that 1t would
appear that the stagnation in the build
ing trade, of which we heard good
deal last year, is by no means imagin-
airy. London is evidently not expand
ing within the county limits. If ever
there was a time for retrenchment and
reform 1t is now. and the l.. c. G. elec-
tors will do well to bear ii lin mind and
once more send the progressives about

RACING CONFLICT
IS POSSIBILITY
Further Extension at EmeryViIe
Would Practically Kill the
Bush Meetings

The possibility of another 20 days ex-
tension of the racing meeting at En-
eryville has gone no farther than ru-
NOR, based upon President Williams
intimaton of additional dates at the
time the last extension was announced.
If the meeting is carried over into
June it will mean more than a mere
extension of racing dates-it will place
the local jockey club in direct conflict
with the bush meetings in Salt Lake
and Vancouver. The horsemen them
selves will be up in the air in deter
mining which way TO jump.
When it is considered that there are
only about half as many horses at En-
eryville there were last year, and
that there are none at Los Angeles for
the bush meetings to draw upon, Salt
Lake and Vancouver, if they divide the
available supply, will not have enough
nags to fill out weeks card. If the
local meeting gets a further extension
the majority of owners Will stay here
until the end rathersthan take the risk
and expense of shipping. In that event
it is doubtful if either the Salt Lake or
British Columbia meetings would sue
ceed
1t is gossiped at the track that it
might be the purpose of the New Cali
fornia jockey club to spike the northern
meeting because of the rumor that the
British Columbia tracks want to break
away from the Jurisdiction of the Pa
cific jockey club, and paddle their own
canoe. But even with no conflict in
dates, the available racers for the
bushes will be small in number be-
cause the best at Emeryville are being
shipped east. others are being turned
out for the summer and still more will
be given summers rest across the
bay in preparation for next falls cam
paign.
Every one seems certain that next
winters meeting will be better than the
one now in progress.

He tramped all the way to Little Lake

James j.. Jeffries arrived here to-
night after a bear hunting trip in
the Tehachapi mountains, during which
he did not shoot any bear.
Jeffries was unable to account for
the rumors which gained considerable
circulation today to the effect that he
had been injured by fall from a
wagon.
He rode in an automobile all of the
way from Tehachapi and did not fall
out at any time. Jeffries gained five
pounds during the time he has been in
the open. He has made plans to go
to San Francisco on Friday next and
will go from that city to his training
camp on Monday next.

to the former champion spread with
such persistence that the newspaper Of

These were not confined to the city,
some of them coming by telephone and

At the solicitation of the friends OF

during a previous hunt, to attempt to
locate him.

hunters who had proved troublesome

Upon his request his trial was removed from the courts of Indian Territory to the Federal courts of Texas. Later Hendricks sought in vain to have his case returned to Oklahoma. Refusal to return the case to Oklahoma is now claimed to have been denial to Hendricks of his constitutional rights.
