Fridays battle at Kilometer Ten
was splendid exhibition of game
ness and pluck on the part of the
rebel forces.
Although they were outnumbered
two to one by the trained force of inn
perialists in front of them and were
subjected from the flank to raking
cross fire from Admiral Sah's war
ship, they held their ground until
nearly 500 had been killed and / 800
wounded. At last they were compel
led to retire. Their ranks were bro.

ASSESSOR RAISED THE VALUE
Thought Mitchell Car Worth
More After 10000 Miles.

Mitchell automobiles, like good wine. i'm
prove with age, according to a Nebraska
board Of assessors who recently placed the
value OF 19oS Mitchell car belonging TO an
Omaha man at $3.50 moro than he originally
paid for II.
He bought his car three years ago for
5000 and since that time has driven II
about lnooo miles. Accordingly, when he
made up his tax schedule, he put the value
OF the machine a, something less than that
figure As the assessed value Of an article
IS usually much less than the cost price. he
looked for no further trouble.
But, much TO his astonishment. he re-
ceived notice a few days ago that assessors
placed a valuation Of 1880 on his automo-
bile and that he would be taxed accord
ingly He at once sought an interview with
the board. and after some argument sue
ceeded IN convincing them that though his
car seemed TO be just as good as II ever
was. there was nothing about it 10 show It's

more clearly. the high grade manufacturers

Il can speak. OF course. more definitely
Of my own experience since the early days.
u IS only about six years since the TWO

came into vogue. and these the puohs
deem great advance in automobile con-
structlon: in fact it may be said that the
real beginning Of the automobile was only
about seven years ago, for previous 10
that time there was no we'll established

der the BODY and opposed horizontal or two

The public hardly realizes what great
strides have been made in mechanical con-
struction since that event. The design 10
more expensive-many manufacturers are
using six cylinders cxclusively-the quality
of material is beyond comparison In tensile
and torsional strength, and In many cases,
doubled and trebled in cost. II is so much
tougher that IN many instances from two
to three times the machinery. men and
room are necessary 20 produce the eano
quantity; finer workmanship and closer
finish. and better fits are now exacted: :,
and the labor therefore. must of'necessity
be more skilled and better paid.
six years ago two-cylinder cars were

six years ago four vertical cylinders
became the vogue. and the quality OF tho
material and workmanship has greatly
improved. Comparing our six-cylinder car
and the power plant OF this car with thao
