tom"

Tom, was Maltese cat. We had
kept him ever since he was a kitten,
taking him from South Dakota to
Montana in a grape basket. In his
new home he almost took care of
himself. He would catch rabbits,
mice and squirrels. The latter he
would bury out in the garden where
the dirt was soft.
He had a row or two of young crab
apples in the garden, among which
were one or two quite promising
young trees. The ground squirrels
and gophers were very troublesome,
and right at the base of one of these
finest trees was the habitation of a
gray ground squirrel. OF course we
were anxious to get rid of him, but
were soon to find this no eask task
First, we put poison at the mouth
of the burrow, but either did not

Next we set a trap for him and on
the following morning found that
it sprung, with a bit of the squirrels
toe In it's jaws We set the trap again.
All this time he had been loosening
the dirt about the tree. This time
we had no success. The dirt being
soft, he dug a hole out on the other
side of the tree, adding the more to
it's destruction.
Our next method OF attack was
with water. We tried to drown him
out, but this failed utterly, for we
were unable to find where he had es-
capped. Surely the work was COM

Total Taxes Paid in State for 1909
Will BE $25, 100000.

| WIN bc P~fosOVOsOOO.
On the gross assessed valuation of
$730,419,S26 the state of Washing
ton will pay $24,993,S76.3S in taxes
for the year 1909, according to fig
ures compiled by the state tax com
mission and just given to the pub
| lie. This includes the levy for all
purposes, state, county, municipal,
school and road district, and amounts
paid by public service corporations
and amounts borne by other property
in the state for the year 1909.
The real estate bears by far the
heavier share of the taxes, the to-
tai being almost eighteen and one
half millions of dollars, while all
personal property in Washington
will pay $3,245,3O5.5S in taxes
These two items do not include the
railroad property, however, for on
the tracks and rights of way the rail
road companies pay in taxes $2,442,-
475.74, while in addition the rolling
stock is taxed in the sum of $304,-
1865. This shows that the rail
roads pay almost as much in taxes
as all of the personal property in
Washington.
The express companies apparently
get off much easier than any other
public service corporation as in all
parts of the state their taxes will
amount to but $S25.59 for 1909, but
in addition to this their gross earn
ings tax will run up to $44,376.64.
The total of $29,993,S76.33 Is the
sum that the taxpayers will have to
pay to have the government of the
entire state conducted. This, of
course, includes the amount paid to
the state, the county, the munich
pality, the school district and the
road district, as we'll as all other pur-
poses for which taxes are levied and
collected. In all probability this
sum will not be collected in full for
a certain portion will go deliquent
and never be collected, perhaps.
All of the street car companies of
of $467,65S.S7, or close to half
million dollars. This like the other
figures represents the money they
must actually pay on their property
and holdings.
The state tax comm ission is work
ing hard to complete its report early
cords in this line. The data relating
to taxation is being compiled at a
rapid rate and is to be given in great
er detail this year than ever before,
so that there will be nothing along
this line on which information can
not be furnished on short notice.
The total figures given out are as
