We agree with the Arizona Demo. erat that the most important remain. ing duty of the present legislative as- soeiation is the enaction of law for the assessment of mines which will draw from each property {. just pro portion of tax. Any attempt to leave the taxing Of mines to the opinion of the tax commission as to their value will be to leave the doors wide open for litigation which might be extremely embarrassing to the state. Better allow the code revision to go over and enact just and comprehen- sive revenue laws before the time for adjournment.

FIRE HAZARDS IN HOTELS.

Attention is directed by Insurance Engineering to the large number oi hotel fires that are occurring in the United States. A list of fifty or moro fires reported during January and February of the current year is pub Ashed by that periodical. The rate oi burning in 1912, it is stated, was one hotel fire in every thirty.three hours.
 From 3 study ot statistics, Insur- ance Engineering is moved to the as- sertion that hotel fires are increas- ing" The suggestion is made that the influence of the powerful commercial travellers association" should be brought to bear to bring about i'm provements. It is estimated that fully S per cent, of all hotel fires occur during the night hours, p. m. 10 6 a. m., and @ per cent during the period of sleep.
 In some parts of the country the commercial travellers organizations have done effective work in bringing about the enactment of hotel legisla- tion. This legislation unGuestionably has been Of some value in adding to the comfort and safety fthe travel ing public. Comfort is 8 thing to be desired by persons who, through ne- cessity or preference, liwe much of their lives in hotels, but safety is vastly more important. The construc- tion of modern times is an improve. ment on that of the past Most of the large hotels that are built nowadays are supposed to be freprO-f, but many Of the small ones are not. Taking the hotels generally throughout the country, many of them are fire traps of the most menacing sort.
 Insurance Engineering scores a point when it says that the interest Of public authorities in hotel safety has been confined principally to the means of exit, while "the elimina- ton and improvement Of conditions, without which the necessity of exit might not occur have been disre- garded.' This is true in many in- stances. It is equally true that h hundreds of hotels the precautions taken against fire are not such as they should be-otherwise there would be fewer fires. In 1912 the number Of hotels burned was arger than in any one of the five preceding years. This emphasizes the need of deyoting spe- cial study to the hotel problem as a means Of reducing the hazards and losses.

THE RESORT BEAUTIFUL
Always Cooll Always Clean !
Always Healthyl

WILDWOOD CREST stands alone in its rapid develop
ment. 1t faces the Atlantic Ocean, adjoins City of Wildwood
and has the Delaware Bay in its rear. It is the new summer
resort and there is not a cooler or more healthful place in
all the states of the Union. There are no finer beaches or
sailing and fishing water anywhere.
Cement pavements and cutters, artesian water, gas and
electricity, sanitary sewage system approved by the State
Board of Health, hard graveled streets and telephone sys-
TENS extend to every building site, and trolley cars run
throughout the resort.
1t is six years old, and in that time has multiplied nearly
eight hundred times in assessed valuation in the state rata
bles, but the founders are selling ground at no more than
they received at the beginning, well knowing the effect of
population and building on the land they retain. Hundreds
and boardwalk a mile along the surf in Wildwood Crest
are now ministering to the health, rest and pleasure of many
thousands of people.
WILDWOOD CREST is the Coolest, Cleanest, Health
lest Summer Home Resort on the New Jersey Coast, where
all the conveniences of seashore summer life are to be had.

Brilliant Work at Sparta.

AS usual General N. B. Forests Con-
federnte cavalry hung of the Federal
flank to harrass the march. The col
umn assigned to follow and annoy
Crittenden was led by Colonel G. G..
Dibrell, one of Forests most active
commanders. Colonel r. H. G. Min
tvs Federal brigade was ordered out
on Aug. 4 to checkmate Dibrell. The
Confederates at the time were bent on
scouting rather than lighting pitched
battles. and Minty chased a will'o-the-
wisp for four days. Then Dibrell's
camp was located neal Sparta, Tenn.
Making a night march, the Federal
troopers struck the enemy's pickets at
daybreak on the 9th and chased them
four miles to the town. Minty learned
from the villagers that Dibrell had
heard of his coming the evening be-
fore and moved his camp beyond a
creek four miles northeast of Sparta.
There he selected a position on a hill
with a narrow bridge In front to tempt
his pursuer to cross.
Crossing at a rocky ford below the
bridge, the Fourth United States,
strongly supported by the Seventh
Pennsylvania, attacked Dibrell's left.
At the same time the Third Indiana

In person, rushed the bridge. After

vored holding on along the Rappahan-
mock and its tributary. the Rapidan.
In that region the army had on two
occasions given the Federals a stun
ming defeat, and as often had the Fed
eral leaders been outgeneraled. owing
to the superior advantages which the
peculiar topography gave to the Con-
federates. Because of the disagree
ment between the executive and the
general, possibly. and maybe for other
reasons the latter rendered his resigna-
ton.
General Lee was f%fty-seven years
old During the Gettysburg march he
had been a great sufferer physically.

GUS aso why Lee could not be

Federal Designs on Richmond.
While Lee was in Pennsylvania in
July with the main force upon which
the safety of Richmond ultimately de-
pended. the Federals made a series Of
movements against II. President Da-
Wis wrote to Lee in the field that he
was anxious about the safety of the
Confederate capital.
A column of $4,000 men led by Cen
eral John A. Dix moved from Fortress
Monroe up the York river to q land
ing on the Pamunkey only a days
march from Richmond. Operating
from that point, the troops cut the
communications between Lee In Penn
sylvania and Richmond, destroying
tracks and bridges on two railroads,
and getting full control of the region
from the Pamunkey to the Rappahan-
mock. In one of these expeditions the
cavalry captured General W. 81. F.

officer subsequently became a hostage
