Philip had been enjoying, he was,
again, the very man who, during those
long years OF exile, had dominated
crew and captain of the Walrus and
bent them to his will.
He was returning from the ledge
along the crown of the glacier, when.
on the day of this discovery. he found
that his accustomed path was inter
rupted by a new fissure in the ice: It
had occurred since he had come that
way in the morning. and was too
broad to leap across. So he was forced
to descend by the rougher and more
difficult track which lay along the
moraine.
Before he had gone three PAGES
along this track his eye made out
something. just OFF his patch and lit

to utter a snarl OF anger, but led him

back a moment or two of the old sup

She did not need to be told that he
was in earnest, in spite of the smile
that went with his words. She turned
about quickly and looked up the

he pointed. Even in the deep twilight
she could already make out the sham

Cayley fully justified her confidence.

o.-w R. & N. WINS BIG SUIT.
Has Its Valuation in State of Washing
ton Reduced $s,OOO,OOO.

Olympia.-The state supreme court
has unanimously ordered the 1910 val
uation of the DIV. X. s. n. property
reduced from s27, 100000, fixed by the
state board Of equalization, to SIS, $780,
600, at which latter figure the valua-
ton had been previously fixed by the
state railroad commission. The suit
was brought by the company against
the state officers last summer to reduce
the assessment and Superior Judge
Mitchell decided in favor of the state
BOARD.
The decision was written by Judge
Chadwick. 1t holds that after the rail
road commission fixed a value it was
binding ON the public and the state as
well for taxation purposes, as well as
for the rate-mahng purposes. The de-
cision says further that the action Of
the state board in raising the valua-
ton was arbitrary and unjust and
should be set aside on this ground
alone. From this latter conclusion
Judge Fullerton dissented, but he
agrees with the others in ordering the
valuation lowered.
The meat of the decision is as fol
lows:
cit was undoubtedly the intent of
the Legislature, mindful Of the evasions
of the railroad companies in years
past, to avoid these methods and to put
them upon the same plane as the in
Jividual whose acre is under his feet.
Such methods were and are unfair to
both parties to the tax and we may as
well assume that in passing the amend
ment to the railroad commission act
the legislature intended, just what it
should, that when ascertained the
value fixed by the railroad commission
after a full judicial hearing and with
the aid Of engineers, accountants, ex-
pert and practical and experienced men
in every department in railway en-
cheering and construction, should be
binding and conclusive upon the pub
lie and upon the railroad companies. -

The great form raised itself and got

to the table and the hypnotic inhuenc,

CARRIE NATION is DEAD.
Career of Noted Saloon Smasher Ends
in Leavenworth Sanitarium.

Leavenworth, Kan.-Carrie Nation,
the Kansas saloon smasher, died here
Friday night. Paresis was the cause
of death. Mrs. Nation had been in
poor health for months and on January
81, hoping to recover from a nervous
breakdown, she entered the local sani-
tarium in which she died.
Mrs. Carrie Nation was born in
Kentucky in 1916. Her maiden name
was Carrie Moore, and as a girl, it
is said, she was absolutely fearless. In
her early life she married a man ad-
dicted to intoxicants, which created in
her a great aversion to their sale.
When he died she determined to devote
her life to the suppression of the liquor
traffic.
Later she moved to Kansas and mar
ried David Nation, who sympathized
with her temperance principles. He
divorced her 10 years ago.
Her First Smash.
Mrs. Nation IS first saloon smashing
was done in the barroom of the Carey
hotel at Wichita, December II, 1900.
She was arrected and remained in jail
for several days before she was re-
leased on bond.
On January 81, 1890, armed with her
favorite weapon, Ratchet, Mrs. Ma
ton made another raid in Wichita.
This time she smashed three joints.
During the next TIRES months Mrs.
Nation surprised the jointists in vari-
GUS Kansas towns, appearing unex-
pectedly and leaving a trail of ruined
barroom fixtures wherever she went.
Mrs. Nation, after her activities in
Kansas, became a lecturer and the edi-
tor of a paper called the Smashers
Mail.
She did little smashing outside of
Kansas.
Her estate is valued at $4,000. 1t
consists of houses and lots in Guthrie
and Shawnee, Okla, an account of
$1,000 in an Alexandria (Va.) bank and
life insurance policy.
