ARIZONA MINE TAX
LAW IS HELD VALID
Worlds Fair Company of Phoenix Loses
Its Suit Against the County of
Santa Cruz at NOgales.

Phoenix, Ariz.. Oct. 8.-Judge ]. f.
O'Connor, Of Pinal. sitting for judge
Frank Duffy, at Nogales. upheld the
state mine tax law in the suit of Frank
Powers against the county of Santa
Cruz. to prevent taxes being collected
on the Worlds Fair mine at the yalu-
alton fixed by the tax commission and
assessor, S150,000.
Powers attacked the constitutionality
oe the mine tax law on the ground that
the terms of the Arizona legislators
expired Jan. 1, 1913, and the law was
enacted during the spring. Judge
OConnor refused to consider this con-
tention. He stated that the only point
at issue was whether the valuation Of
$150,000 was too high or too low. Pow
ers himself, the only witness called by
the state, had testified that his mine
was worth 100000.

OAKLAND, Cal.
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of cat Good Old Siwash."

Oakland is one of the few cities in
history that have been built by an
earthquake.
Earthquakes are, as a rule, extremely
unhealthy for cities. and depress the
bank clearings and real estate quotations
to an alarming degree But Oakland s
patron saint, rabbits foot and first
friend is the earthquake which jiggled
its neighbor, San Francisco. in 1906
Oakland at that time had 1900 people
and was all stretched cut of shape try
ing to maintain metropolitan airs Two
days after the earthquake it had SOC, 900
people. Unfortunately, the census didn' {
come along in time to preserve all of
this population in the census records.
but in 1910 Oakland still had 10000 peo-
pie and was growing fast.
1t is extremely difficult to persuade
any Oaklander to sage a harsh word
about earthquakes.
Oakland is situated on the rambling
and extensive Bay of San Francisco and
was originally founded by people who
wanted some relief from the climate of
the other side. Oakland uses Mount
Tamalpais and the coast hills for a
windbreak and claims to have climate
IFS per cent better than San Francisco.
This, however, is not conceded across the
bay The debate between the relative
merits of Oakland and San Francisco
half a century and shows no sign of set

For instance. there is mature tree
that stands apart from its fellows. The
bark on this tree will be harder drier
and lighter in color on the south side
On the north il will be darker and often
at the roots ii will show clump Of
mold or moss. On the south side Of the
evergreen trees gum will be hard and
amber colored. On the north side this
gum is softer. generally dustier. and Is
OF soiled gray hue. In the autumn or
winter trees that show a rough bark
nests of insects in the crevices on the
south side. Hardwood trees-the oak, the
ash, elms. hickories. mesquite. &c.-have
moss and mold on the north. Leaves are
smaller, tougher. lighter in color and
with darker veins on the south. On the
north they are longer, of darker green
and with lighter veins. Spiders build on
the south side. In the South air plants
will attach themselves to the north side.
Cedars bend their tips to the south.
Sawed or cut stumps will afford one
the compass points. inasmuch as the con-
centric rings are thicker on the south
side. The heart of the stump is thus
nearer to the north side. These results
are said to be due TO the influence of the
sun. Stones are bare on the south side,
and If they show any moss at all it will
be on the north. At best, on the sunny
side only a thin covering of harsh, half
dry moss will be found.

tiona1 in its aims and efforts, it is dis
inctly community affair in the sense
which applies to public schools, be-
cause it stands for the American idea
Of freedom and intellectual emancipa-
ton, and for the expansion of the
minds of those whom it reaches in
order that they may grasp the oppor-
tunities and the conditions of modern
life. /.
To properly train the boys of today
means better men, stronger men, and
better citizens in the future; in short,
a standard class of Americans, in CON-
ing generations, more efficient morally,
mentally, and physically. This is the
chief aim of the Boy Scout movement,
and no fair minded person who has
studied its methods can entertain any
doubt as to the beneficial results.
Tag Day presents the only oppor-
tunity for every citizen to contribute
in small way toward the support of
this excellent work. In doing so we
give countenance and stability to an
organization unselfshly engaged in a
noteworthy public service. and which,
at any time, may be called upon to
perform some necessary or even urgent
work for which no other force is
available at short notice.
There are now more than 100000
Boy Scouts actively enrolled in the
United States. Eleven hundred of
these are right here in the District of
Columbia, and this magnificent show
ing may be increased as fast as scout
masters can be provided and the head
quarters staff is prepared to handle
the increased business of the local or
ganization.
Everybody in Washington. man or
woman, should wear a Boy Scout tag

Sir Thomas Makes Up His Mind.

The personal popularity easily achiev-
ed by the genial knight whose name
and fame are associated in business
with successful exploitation of material
for the cup that cheers. but does not
inebriate, and whose favorite recre-
alton takes the form of Yachting in
native and our American waters, is
evidently not to be discouraged by the
point of view of the equally positive
members of the New York Yacht
Club. Once a challenger always a
challenger, is the motto OF this most
unconditional competitor for Amer

In view, not only of his personal
popularity, but of his thoroughly
sportsman-like qualities, it would be a
regrettable fact if the now familiar
figure and preferred craft of "Sir
Tom" were absent from such a con-
test. But even the most indomitable
yachtsman ahoat must realize that the
New York Yacht Club is composed of
other devoted amateur sailors who have

DEEP LAND DIVING.
Most Hazardous Job That of Life
Saver in Mining Bureau.

THE most hazardous occupation
known to man." says a recent bulletin
issued by the Bureau of mines, lis that
of life-saver in the bureau" Continu-
| ing, the bulletins statements are sub
| stantially as follows:
1t is popularity supposed that deep
sea diving has the highest mortality rate
| among all dangerous caIlings, but it is
not to be compared with rescue work
In the first year of this service two out
of twenty-four experienced miners, en-
ployed by the bureau in this desperate
work have given their lives while at
tempting to save others. Seven others
have fallen unconscious in the poison
Gus vapors of the mines and have been
rescued only after the most heroic eff
forts.
The mortality rate among Bureau of
men.
With such a fearful record before
them. it might be thought that miners
would hesitate about engaging in such
a business, but this Is not the case.
Miners are as brave a body of men as
can be found in any industry, and
those who have been trained in res
cue work by the Bureau of Mines and
have sought employment as life-savers
are 1mDued with the spirit that they
are engaged in a great work, which
promises to materially reduce the death
rate in American mines.
That the life-savers have made a good
beginning is shown in the records of
the Bureau of Mines. In the period Of
one year forty entombed miners have
been rescued directly through the ef-
forts of the bureaus men, and perhaps
as many more by individual miners, who
were trained in rescue work by the
Bureau Of Mines. Best of all, the Fed
eral rescuers have stopped the death
roll among volunteer life-savers at dis
asters. In the past 1t is said that a
rescuer has given up his life for every
man saved. Forty volunteer Fescusrs
were killed at Hanna, Wyo., tvo years
ago, trying to save fourteen eutomhed
men. At the Cherry mine FIR, IN Itii-
nois, twelve volunteers who went into
