After granting this substantial re-
duction in the assessments against
school and church property and out
lying property and also granting
many petitions for decreases by indi-
viduals, there is still net gain in the
total benefits assessed of S2,983.59.
This will cause an increase in the fu-
ture collections of sufficient amount

DISTRICT
HAS A MAJORITY
ABSTRACT IS COMPLETED
TAN BOOKS SHOW CONSIDERA-
BILE MARGIN IN VALUE OF
PROPERTY IN DISTRICT.
From Fridey's Daily.

From Fridey's Daily.
| After eliminating the property of
all who asked to have their names
withdrawn from the petitions for the
formation of the district, there is
majority in value of S17,41S in favor
of Sewer District No. l of Conway,
according to an abstract just com
pleted by G.. S. McHenry of the
Faulkner County Realty d Abstract
| Company. This margin will insure
the ultimate installation of the sewer
system. although the commissioners
viii probably not permit actual con-
struction work 10 begin until the
waterworks system IS finally complet-
ed and accepted.
The petitions for the organization
Of the sewer district were gotten up
early in 1911, but before the filing of
| the second petition some of the sign
ers became dissatisfied with the prop
osition and requested the city council
| 10 remove their names from it, AS
lit is necessary for the petition to con-
! tain the names Of the owners of ma
! jority in value of the real estate with
I in the district, and as some of the OPP
'ponents of the enterprise had express
! ed q doubt as 10 this majority, the
commissioners decided to nave an alb
stract made Of the property within
| the district from the county assess
rent Of 1911, which is taken as
basis.
For several motnhs Mr. McHenry
has been putting in his spare time at
work on this abstract, and the COM
pleted volume of so pages has just
been filed with the commissioners.
Each lot and parcel of property is
given with the name Of the owner and
the assessed value is placed in anoth-
er column. The reorganization shows
the total value of the real estate with
in the district. according to the tax
books. is $537,541. Of this amount a
majority necessary TO the formation
of the district is SZ6S,771. The as
sessed value of the property owned
by signers Of the original petition is
$320,645 or S51 ,874 more than the
necessary majority. The assessed
value of the property owned by those
who requested the removal Of their
names from the petition is $34,456
Deducting this from 1854, leaves a
net majority of unquestioned signers
amounting in assessed value to S17,-
418. The figures are summarized as
follows:
Assessed value of district. .$537,541
Necessary majority ........ 268,771
Total value on petition. $50. 320,645
Majority ....... 51,874.
Withdrawn from petition. 1856
Net majority ............ 17418
This majority is very gratifying to
the commissioners, as it insures the
district against attack. The MAORI
ty is more noteworthy on account of
the fact the railroad real estate, as
sessed at $4,000, which was sign
ed in favor of waterworks, was not
signed for the sewer district and is
counted against it. Had the railroad
company signed the petition, the ma
jority would therefore have been over
sec, 900 greater than it is.

 According to Col Bryan. Teddy guaranteed Taft. and he had no right to become candidate save under tho theory that Taft has made a complete failure
 "Ir Teddy is willing to conceed that President Taft has made a failure. and in recommending him for the poe sition he made mistake. then Roose- vcit is justified in seeking the nomin- alton hut if Teddy and the party has made good.

OREGON RECEIVES HERD
 OF ELK FROM WYOMING.

ST. ANTHONY, Ida, March I2- One of the most difficult experiments in handling large game animals is now being attempted by transplant, ing a herd of b Elk from Jackson's Hole wyo.. to the Wauowa forest reserve, in Eastern Oregon, under the supervision of D. c Nowlin, of the Biological Survey. Twenty-Five of these splendid animals we're er,. ticed into corrals and are now being sledded 90 miles over the Teton Pass to St. Anthony. which is the neares point on the railroad, where they are turned over to the state of oregon.
 The whole herd came near being lost on account of a driving snow storm in the toughest part of the mountains. After four days the out fit of five teams had made but 2S miles. and in one accident three of the elk were lost. State Game War den Finley. with Deputies Craig and Averill. has gone out into the noun tains to meet the shipment, which is expected to reach this point late this afternoon. Five elk are now be ing held by the government here, and when the % others arrive the Ore gon officials will have the selection of the best and strongest animals

 capable of lifting fourteen cubic yard of gravel per hour. In addition to this the engine is also used to run a small saw mill which has been set up and is used to cut timbers for the shaft and underground workings. MT. Mckee is taking in with him another nine hundred gallon Der min ute pump which will be used as an auxiliary.
 The entire season last year was spent in freighting in and setting up this plant. Work this year will progress immediately on the shaft which has been started and bed rock. which is estimated to be at a depth of thirty-five feet, will be reached as soon as possible Upon reaching bed rock a series of drifts will be run crossing the channel of the stream and the pay streak will be thoroughly prospected.
 All gravel which has been taken from the shaft by the gravel pump that sucks gravel up to five inches in diameter is run through sluice boxes thirty five feet of which are in the shaft house. Gold has been found with increasing value at every foot of depth gained. At the present depth of twenty-seven feet it is estimated that value is twenty seven cents to the yard. This iudi- cation combined with the recovery during last season of S4OOO from a bench on the rimrock from which point the bed rock slopes rapidly away into the channel of the stream gives Mr. Mckee great confidence that he will find gold in large quan- titles once bed rock is reached.
 The presence of gold in paying quantities being established, dredges will be placed on the stream and the work of gathering the yellow dust

FORT YUKON-At last the millen. ium has struck our little burg, we have a justice of the peace who fits and is fit, perhaps on the principle of nihil fits.
 Our justice of the peace. acting on instructions from the office of the district attorney for the fourth division of Alaska, has issued a mo- tice to all the storekeepers in town forbidding them under heavy penal ties from selling pain killer. jamaica ginger or lemon extract to a native. but nothing is said about instructions to prevent the smuggling of goods from an alien territory and disposing of them in this place. to the detri- ment of legitimate trade. Why? Smuggling has been a crime against the law ages before the wiseacres found out that it was a crime to sell a bottle of Perry Davis pain killer to a native. and whether the smuggler be a white, a half breed. or a full blooded native. the crime and penalty remains the same. Again we ask. Why? DIOGENES.

Judge CushmaD has issued a stay of execution in the matter of the United States vs. the schooner Tokai Maru, pending an appeal of the own CTS to the United States supreme court, and the sale of the vessel. which was to have taken place on February 24 at Unalaska, has been postponed. The vessel was seized for illegal fishing and the case was origin ally tried before the commissioner at Unalaska. He fined the vessel $500 and assessed a like fine against each member of the crew. The owners took an appeal to the district court which upheld the commissioner. and later to the appellate court. which found the fine assessed against each member of the crew should have been laid against the crew as a whole, but otherwise held as the lower court. The owners have now carried the case to the supreme court of the United States. on what ground are not known here, but it is pre- sumed on the question of the juris- diction of the commissioner in a case involving the forfeiture of a yes sel.
