GAINING IN HAYTI
Expected That Desperate Fighting
Will occur-chief Executive
is Confined to Bed.

Washington, D. c., July 22.-Presi-
dent Simon of Hayti appears doomed
to follow President Diaz of Mexico and
to give way to another revolutionary
government, according to advices
reaching Washington. In the opinion
of Captain Dismukes Of the gunboat
Petrol, watching the operations of the
reyolutionists at Gonaives, the latter
already practically are victorious, and
all the important towns except the
capital are in their possession.
President Simon has been obliged to
abandon his campaign in the north
and to withdraw his army hastily to
the capital, where he arrived a sick
man, and is now confined to his bed.
1t is expected that there will be des-
perate fighting, and Captain Dismukes
reported the revolutionary troops are
now marching toward the capital from
st. Marc, which they captured without
much resistance.
Captain Dismukes reports that the
interests of Americans at Gonaives
are not endangered by the revolution
ary occupation of the city, where the
population appeared to be in full SYM
pathy with the movement. This con-
dition has strengthened the determin-
alton of the state department to stand
behind the action of American Min
lister Furniss in joining the other for
eign representatives in protest
against any attempt to lombard the
unfortified towns of the coast.

CRAIG COUNTY WAS
NOT REPRESENTED
Attorney General Says New Law Gives
County Boards Right to Equaize
as Between individuals.

Oklahoma City, July 22.-One pur-
pose of the tax law enacted by the
third legislature. as brought out by
statements of Attorney General West
before the state board of equalization
Friday, was to do away with a multi
tude of equity suits filed each year for
the purpose of affecting tax levies.
There can be brought, the attorney
by an entire levy can be found to he
illegal, but the statute did not rob the
taxpayer, he said, of his day in court
on the question of inequality. Many
county board members appearing be-
fore the state board contended they
could do no more than equalize as be-
tween townships.
The law, which became effective
June 8. the attorney general rules, gave
county boards on their own motion
authority to equalize as between town
ships, and on application as between
individuals. Some equalization boards
believed they had no right to increase
assessments returned, while others
thought they could not lower them.
Tulsa county's representative made
probably the best showing of any be-
fore the board Friday w. L. North,
county commissioner, told the board
that the return of about $22,250,000
was intended to be but 60 per cent of
the real value, which would make the
latter about $37,OOO,O 900, as against $780,
100000 last year. When Muskogee
county got on the grill Governor
Cruce read from a letter he received
from citizen there, insisting that
county property was in at about 35
per cent and city property at about
SO per cent. The governor declined
to reveal the name of the writer. He
added that the same correspondent
said that two members of the board
admitted that such was the case, but
that they told him they were afraid to
go any higher on account of public
sentiment The commissioners ad-
mitted that the assessors did the work
and also equalized and in doing so had
increased the general assessment
about 100 per cent.
Usage county is confronted with a
serious question in its assessment, ac-
cordiEg to Chairman Correll of the
county board, since the tax rolls were
made to include all of the surplus In
dian land. There is considerable re-
duction in the taxes there. The In
dian Territory Illuminating Oil COM
pany now has lease upon about half
the county for oil purposes and was
trying, the commissioner stated, to get
the other half and were it not for the
large blanket lease congress granted

The opening game in the city league
yesterday afternoon resulted in vic
tory for the Colts over the Pirates by
score of to 8. The crowd at the
opening game was not very large, ow-
ing to the threatening weather and the
fact that the Bankers, Elks, and Hoo

was an exciting contest and was in
doubt until the end of the ninth inning.
The batting of Maddox and pitching

to iron and coal among the American
mineral industries. II certainly far

The. popular belief that New Eng

untrue, as the much-talked-of aban-
doned farms that are commonly pic
tured as lying idle with bare fields
growing up to weeds, are not to be
found. Nature has been remarkably
quick to start reforestation. In
travelling through the New England
states one cannot fail 10 note the
large area of woodland as compared
to the improved farm land. and the
census figures Of 1899 show that only
20 per cent. of New Hampshire is i'm

under those systems Fruit growing
and poultry farming in combination

not as rule following methods OF

There is a great deal of confusion
In the lumber market at the present
time as to oak. There is a variety Of
oaks and some kinds have many
names, but the foresters simplify the
matter by dividing them into two
great classes, the white oak group and
the hack oak group, which have very
different characteristics. At the pres
ent time It is said to be impossible to
obtain an order for white oak that
does not contain number of different
kinds, and 1t is not infrequent that
there is to be found among it some
red oak which belongs to the black
oak class. In some markets cabinet
white oak" is regarded by many as a
mixture of oaks, while in some others
It means red oak only. This varied
nomenclature and classification has
been the cause Of many delays and
disputes in the trade, and the agri-
cultural department is at the present
time struggling with the matter in the
endeavor to secure some systematic
classification and understanding about
these woods.
