The United States department of and labor

Not the least in interest in that array of figures and
facts is the personal property listed for taxation

Bosonwith population Census of 19O0) Of 1865 60
list $10390SO5S5 Of personal property. That would be
$136S1 per capita.
Five large western cities-San Francisco Denver, Los
Angeles, Portland and Seatte-with population $1,000
of 75O2l1 list $265O5972S Of personal property This
would be $35331 per capita
Summed up, the west is either Weather than the east
in the ratio of $3533l to $l36S OR it is hones
in the same ratio.

SEWER SITUATION.

Editor The Press: In regard to
the trunk sewer assessments for
which the people of Union park are
being called on to pay, | would ap-
preciate the publishing of the fol-
lowing:
First, why should the public be
compelled TO pay for an improve
ment which they haven't received?
The trunk sewer in question in
stead of being an improvement, is
a detriment, inasmuch as that por-
ton of it that was not disabled by
the recent flood is proving itself a
menace TO the health of the com
munity. At the corner of River
side avenue and Napa streets the
manholes and catch basins emit
stencil that is appalling, and when
taken into consideration that hun
dreds of school children are COM
PEELED to pass by these places on
their way to and from school, and
when on the school grounds are
within stones throw of them, is
1t any wonder that the property
holders feel that they are being i'm
posed upon?
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1910-05-19

On Sprague avenue and Napa
streets, one of the busiest corners
in East Spokane, green flies gather
around these manholes and catch
basins, and the odor at times has
been such as is found in and about
a slaughter house. Further along
the course of this sewer we find
that streets for an entire block are
closed to traffic on account of this
sanitary Improvement (0 haIng
caved in, and the city, to protect
itself, has built fences across the
streets and around the untitled
grave of this improvement which
we are asked to pay for.
Why property that lays six
blocks from the sewer should be
assessed 5000 per lot, and others
that lay five blocks from it is as
sessed $40 is another problem
which we are unable to solve I'M
less it be that those responsible for
the assessment have been so over
come by the rottenness of the af-
fair that they figure that those who
are a greater distance from this
public disgrace are better off. and
therefore should pay for their luck.

breezed out to tie stockyards
the other day to look at my meat
bill on the hoof.
I'd been following the market
and I'd seen where all kinds of live
stock was going up. Now, can un-
derstand why flour goes up-it
comes by way of grain elevator.
But cattle and sheep and hogs had
me guessing.
When l got there they were all
on the ground floor, except the
sheep. They were on the second
story. This explains why have
always thought l was getting my
lamb chops from a second story
worker.
They told me out there that the
packing houses make money out of
every part of the pig but the
squeal. l suppose that the squeal
is regarded, so to speak, as a note
gone to protest.
Anyway, after a pig is killed he
can't squeal. OF course, the con-
sumner can squeal after the pig is
killed. That's the only difference.
Calves were active and inclined
to jump out of the express wagon
when their tails were twisted.
