CAM MAKE A
COMPROMISE
Mesa County Can't Compromise for a
Partial Payment OF Taxes, Declar-
es Ben Griffith-A Concerted
Move on Part of Roads.

When the tender made to County
treasurer Canon, in this city, a few
days ago by the representatives of the
railroads and the Globe Express COM
pany, of so per cent of the taxes for
the first half, was called to the atten-
tion Of the state board of equalization
they declared that they believed a
concerted movement is to be made by
the railroads TO contest payment OF
1911 taxes in practically all parts
of the state.
The Colorado < Southern which op-
crates in eight counties, will, it is
stated by state officials, make a sim
liar offer of so per cent of the taxes
The Union Pacific has a test case
pending in the United States district
court in Weld county, and the Santa
Fe is fighting its assessment in four
counties, Prowers, Bent. Otero and
El Paso. The Burlington has asked
reduction in its assessment in six
counties in which it operates.
1T is not certain yet" said Treas
urer kenehan, lust what action, If
any, will be taken by the state board
OF equalization in the matter. The
railroads appear to be acting accord
ing to an agreement, but the counties
have not had any understanding as
TO whether they shall stand together
or not. Some of them may accept the
compromise Offered by the railroads,
and then IL would be a question
whether the county officials have a
right to reduce the levy for state tax
es. II such a reduction is made, then
ii will certainly be up to the state
board to determine what it has to say
in the matter. The railroads are fight
ing the taxes because they claim they
are taxed higher in proportion than
other property owners.
Il have not looked carefully into
the NATTER said Attorney General
Griffith, but | do not believe the
counties would have the right to COM
promise upon a partial payment of
the state taxes. Any county treasurer
who would make such settlement
would put himself in a precarious po-
sition. 1t might be that the county
would be required to pay the full
amount to the state. leaving the coun-
~ short by the amount related Most
of the railroads admit that they are
assessed upon a one-third valuation,
but they claim that the individual
taxpayers are not assessed upon that
same scale. If the county assessors
have made their assessments upon
that basis, they are all right"

EAGLES IN COMBAT.
Fury Of the 6eIIlgerent Birds In Their
Duel In the Air.

Fury Of the BelIlgerent Birds In Their
Duel In the Air.
An old time observer I'm Maryland
says that the Eastern Shore eagles can
fly faster, remain In their lofty flight
longer and descend from II TO the earth
with more velocity than any other ere
ated thing with wings. He also says
that the fierceness Of the eagles and
the tenacity and power OF clutch they
can put into their immense talons are
beyond belief, and he cites as an In
stance OF II fight between two Of the
big birds that he once saw.
Just what melted the two eagles TO
the combat this spectator OF the fight
did not know. but they came together
high In the air long time the two
fierce birds fought with beak and
talon and wing, rushing upon one an
other, delivering their blows and re-
treating for advantage In new at
tack. Then at last they elinched and
fought at close quarters.
In that position they came plunging
10 the earth, but neither made any eff
fort to stay the fall, so desperately in
tent was each on the savage battle.
They struck together in the freshly
turned furrow OF plowed field, and
the impact failed to separate them or
TO cause an instants delay IN the fight,
and the coming on the scene OF a man
with a club, with which he at once
took part in the battle, did not distract
their attention from one another, and
the man killed them both. Their tai
ons were buried 90 deeply in each 9th
er's flesh that to separate the two
belligerent eagles It was necessary to
cut off their legs York Sun.

Of these instances are there2- Just
few, while countless thousands and

who buy stocks when they sell low and

say that one owns thousand shares

Da Vinoi's WRITINGS.

Although Leonardo da Vinci was
vouminous writer, he never published
a single line during his lifetime.
After the masters death In France
his manuscripts were taken back TO
Italy. His heirs proved unworthy,
and the precious writings were grad
ually dispersed Loose pages were
often detached and were either given
away as relies or stolen. No attempt
was made to publish any of his
treatises, except that on painting, for
more than 800 years after his death.
This was partly owing to the great
difficulty of deciphering his handwrit-
ing ia Vinci was left handed and
always wrote in oriental fashion, from
right to left Besides this. his orthog-
raphy is peculiar TO himself He alb
hreviateS some words and joins others
together and employs neither stops nor
