theatre will have an opportunity
to witness real clever farcial
comedy on Decem Der 31st when
local talent will present that
mirth provoking comedy of
errors, capt. Racket" The
bill is one of merit; played by a
small company of local players

perience on the local stage. and

fessiOnal work. The production

that these two are at their best

very clear impersonation OF the

Dalroy. Bert Sutcliffe is giving
credit for an exceptionally fine
bit of work in the part Of Timo-
thy Tolman the boyhood friend
Of Capt. Racket. He has had
considerable experience in com
edy parts and will no doubt hold
up his old reputation IN this
line.

ceptionally good in the part of

 TAXES CLOSED
Total Valuation for State Near $37O,OOO,OOO. Cost of Conference About 5000. Visitors Pleased With Sessions.


 The tax conference called by the state tax commission for the purpose of a general investigation by the tax ing authorities of the several counties themselves, of the tax rolls of the oth- CT counties officially closed last night after six full day and two night ses- SionS and at Il cost of about $20O0 to the state. The adjournment was taken at about eleven fifteen. The evening session, and d part of yesterday after noon were given over to a general dis cussion of the situation. q resume of the work and q rccapitulation of the county abstracts of the assessment rolls.
 It was announced yesterday that if no further raises are made in the es- sessments of property for taxation in the state the total will reach the superb amount of $370OOO.000, and that the state rate may not exceed fifty cents on the hundred dollars. The question of equalization of the taxes, however, will come up on Monday at the first meeting of the board of equalization.
 The conference has been in session the entire week. During that time ev- cry chairman of the board of super Visors of the fourteen counties and ev- cry county assessor has explained to the meeting just how he arrived at the valuations given on every class of property on the rolls. All this proved to be exceedingly interesting, and many of the men in attendance last night spoke of the benefit the conference has been.
 But two counties remained yesterday morning when the session was recon !
 
 and Yavapai. Inasmuch as Assessor , T. T.. Campbell, by many thought to be | the father of the idea of the confer ence, is the assessor of Yavapai and has taken a leading part in the exam nations bringing out a large amount of valuable data. Yavapai county was left until the last. Mir. Campbell made an able witness. He had been armed 1. with valuable data against every other county in the state and had sprung it on assessments that looked to be too low. In Yavapai county he had made i, his assessments in accordance with ' about the values set out in the papers he has been using during the entire time. and therefore Yavapai was found in pretty good shape But the inquis- i itive assessors and supervisors from . other counties kept questioning him until they actually did find a flaw and then the laugh was on Tom Campbell
 Chairman Wills represented PfnaI county which came out of the inqui- [ sition in pretty good shape PinaI showed q great increase in assessed valuation this year over last year go- ing more than three times as high Last year the assessments were made on a fifty per cent basis, while this year the 100 per cent value was used, {. yet the increase was more than 200 per cent.
 The following tabulation of the coun- ties showing what the valuation was last year and what it is this. with the total for the state is herewith given:

ASCENDING PRICES IN BRITISH
 COLUMBIA

About six years ago a British Co., lumbia salmon weighing from five to seven pounds could be bought in the local market for 25 cents Today, if you wish to purchase the local product you will find that you have to pay 15, 20 or 25 cents a pound for it. In other words, the price of salmon has increased four or five fold. and in some instances more. We have not heard that the supply of this food commodity is dwindling. nor do we think that the supply is in any way below the demand. Either of these eventualities would reasonably ac- count for an increase in price, but neither exist. Let it be understood that we are dealing with fresh salmon. where the element of labor does not enter in so largely as if we were speaking of the cured variety. But it is only to an increased cost of labor that we can ascribe the increased cost

to the consumer of the fish. When we say only" We mean logically. for in dealing with the widespread advances in the price of all foodstuffs during the past few years, we find that there are many moro causes for these than we could ever dream of in an attempt at philosphic or cconmic req soning on the subject.
 There is, of course, a close prandial relationship between fish and meat, and in this may be found the reason why the prices of both advance. as it were. in unison The trade evidently considers that it would not do to make fish of one and flesh of the other and so both arc treated sympathetically. The subject is very fascinating one. We will have opportunities of recur- ring to it very often in the future especially owing to the studied ef- forts to prepare the public mind for still further advances in the prices of these food cOmmodities.-Fan (B. co Sun
