AS the reports on the rate Of tax
levy begin to come from some Of the
cities Of the state it is evident that the
full value assessment law is dead
letter in those cities. If it were not
a howl would 60 up that would be
heard all over the state.

If the board of control passes the
Flemming tract as suitable for the tu-

have to 60 through I'll the motions the

there must be no question of the legal
ity of any action of the board in con-
nection with the transfer.

ARIZONA CHEESE

In his European trip the present
summer. President Wilde of the
University has visited a number of
foreign university towns and has
observed other conditions that may
be suggestive for Arizona. In Hol-
land he was especially interested in
the cheese manufacturing in Edam
and vicinity. All this section is
given over to cheese-making, little
milk or butter being sold. Holstein
cows exclusively are kept. So i'm
maculately clean are the cow stables
that in summer lace curtains are
placed at the windows and the in.
terror of the stable is freshly painted.
The cows are driven in in October
and kept stabbed until April; in this
period, the quality of the milk de-
clines and no cheese is made. The
mildness of Arizona winters might
give our farmers an advantage in
placing cheese on the market when
the supply from elsewhere is low.

COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL.

Thursday evening quite a num-
Der Of our citizens met to discuss
the removal of the county seat from
Solomonville at the election this fall.
1t was the unanimous opinion, as
doubtless it is of the general public.
that this county will pretty soon
have to get itself a new courthouse,
the present one showing by many
signs that it is about to return to
its elemental mud and dust. Some
of its occupants appear to have a
haunting fear that it will soon and
suddenly collapse. 1t is said that a
short time ago Dave Clardige, whose
family now and then sojourn in it,,
hearing one of his children read the
'Deac0n's One Hoss Shay" ex-
claimed: 1T looks like that was
writ about this old courthouse, for
one of these days Il will sure wind
up like that old shay"

die of its west boundary is almost ex-
actly such center. 1t has two strong
banks, doing most of the banking
business Of the county. 1t contains
two first class hotels, besides other
good lodging and eating houses. It
has all kinds of stores, the central
telephone office for the county, a
separate telegraph Office, both kept
open day and night, two we'll equip
ed livery establishments, three ex-
cellent barber shops with baths. 1t

best mountain water this fall, has
good churches. The schools are
already good and are being i'm
proved all the time, the streets are
nearly all graded and graveled, and
the railroad station is right in town
and within two blocks of all the
business places. What other town
can thus enable a man to do all his
other business on his necessary trip

Tho Active SIoth Boar,

"The sloth beur appears to be the
most active Of all the bears In the ZOO.
Whoever misnam the animal ought

said woman visitor who sat on a
bench In front Of the bear dens.
"A more BETTING designation would
be 'Ursus pugilisticus' or something
like that, for he is certainly the most
pugnacious Of all the bruin specimens
here. And he gets away with 1t. too.
although he weighs only 25O pounds.
/ saw him knock out the hairy cared
bear In fierce fight over piece of
meat, and he gets the better Of the
great Yezo bear Of about 1000 pounds
in the adjoining inclosure. They fight
through the bars. You can hear the
swapping Of the big bears jaws as he
fails to catch his opponent. But the
nervous sloth bear Is as quick as a

dig on the other ones muzzle that
makes him snort with pain."-New

Spilling Of salt Is superstition still
current among us. 1t is derived from
the ancient Romans. who used salt In
their sacrifices and regarded 1t as
sacred to Penates. To spill It careless

quality beets, and in the beet dis
tricts of Northern Colorado it is
conservatively estimated that S45
an acre is expended in money and
labor in raising the crop. This
amount seems large to eXpend for
the growing of this one crop, but
the splendid returns from the har-
vest will amount to about 500 an
acre, giving the grower net profit
of about S55 an acre. This you
will see is ten per cent income
on land valued at $500 an acre.
Like the growing of all other
crops, if less money and labor is
expended in its raising Just so
much less will be the returns.
The fact that beets are an ex-
pensive crop to raise is one OF the
reasons it is such a valuable in
dustry to the people. The i'm
mense sums expended give labor
to an army of people from the time
the ground is prepared for the
planting of the seed until sugar ls
manufactured and sacked from the
last beet harvested. The growing
of beets is of untold value to the
farmer in the plan of rotating his
crops, and the yield is unusually
large when following alfalfa or
field peas.
The raising of beets is an edu-
cational study for the producer and
encourages all who desire to be
successful to adopt practical and
scientific methods of culture. The
sugar or saccharine matter forms
first in the beet tops and by proper
cultivation and irrigation this sac
cbarine is forced into the beet.
This growing of high-test beets is
soon learned by the farmer, and
he knows just how and when to
cultivate and irrigate to produce
the best results.
The building of sugar factories
and growing Of beets in Northern
Colorado has made that section OF
the state the most productive and
thickly settled of any agricultural
section in the west. There are
nine sugar factories north OF Den
