EUROPEAN ARTISTS WITH
 GENTRY BROTHERS
How Continental Performers Are Engaged By This Popu-
 lar American Institution.

When the average American is seeing place near the stove
 in }Tinter the agents of the big
 tented shows are working in-
 dustriously engaging acts for
 the season which comes with
 spring, This part of the amuse-
 ment world is one with which 1 the public is not familiar. A little look into that cranny, proves interesting.
 November marks the closing of the season for tented attrac- tions like Gentry Brothers All Feature Shows, which will visit this city next Saturday, Septem- Der 20. When the last wheel of the trains stop at winter quar- ters, the organization of the show for the succeeding season begins.
 Trainers get busy framing new features. A snowman whose judgment has been dem )nstrated, at once goes to Flu 'ope. He makes a careful can- 1ass of the music halls and 1 vaudeville theaters. For months 1e is acquainting himself with he novelties that are delight ng audiences on the other side.
 After deciding which of the thousands of acts he sees will most delight the American show patron he makes engage nents. Many performers who nave pleased royalty are brought to this country to be- come a part of Gentry Brothers shows.
 This season Gentry Brothers in addition to their worlds famous animal actors, a score of performers that are seen this season for the first time in America. Gentry Bro- thers All New Feature Shows are indeed all new. If you see them here next Saturday, Sep tember 20, you will recognize them in name only. (Adv.)

Tax Fixing Bodies Co-Operate. Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Sept. 19.-David A. Gates, of the State Tax Com- mission, is in the city from his tour of the state, and will go to Pine Bluff to morrow to con- fer with the Jefferson County Board of Equalization. He re- ports that he finds nine out of ten of the county judges, and about two out of three of the Boards of Equalization ready and willing to cooperate with the Commission in the equaliza- tion of taxes.
 In some counties, however he has found conditions very discouraging. In Calhoun, for instance, he found that all lands improved and unimproved farm lands and cut-over lands, have been assessed uniformilya $2.5C an acre, regardless of their val ue. and timber lands at about $6 an acre. This year the as sessor attempted to rectify this discrepancy and increased the assessment of farm and cut-over lands to $4 or $5 an acre, but the Board of Equalization came a. long and undid his work by pla- cing it back at the old figure.

Wonders Of a Salmon Run.
rom the Wide World Magazine.

From the Wide World Magazine.
The worlds greatest salmon runs are TO
be found along the shores of the north
Pacific ocean, In the states of Washing
ton, Oregan and Ca ifornia, the Provinces
of British Columbia and Alaska, on the
American side, and Siberia and Japan on
few salmon have been canned ON the
ASiatic side.
To one who has never witnessed these
annual runs 1t is almost an impossibility
to convey an adequate impression of the
countless numbers of fish that swim in
from the sea in the late spring and sum-
mer, all imbued with the same dosire-to
gain suitable grounds in the upper
reaches of the rivers, some of which are
from ], 500 to 900 miles in length, where
they may perpetuate the species. No
obstacle appears to be too great to be sur
mounted in this feverish rush. Jumping
falls. shooting rapids, lodging nets,
bears, birds, mink. otter and other
enemies. fighting with other males, whom
the near approach of the breeding season
renders especially savage-all these are
one sometimes wonders if the heroic
struggle is worthily repaid. for the mo-
ment of victory Is also the moment of
death, as, sad to relate, these valiant
Voyagers can breed but once and then
must die, their wasted bodies which have
received no nourtshment since leaving
salt water. becoming the prey of any
prowling bear or carrion bird who may
chance upon them. Why these fish should
all die after spawning still remains one
OF the great unsolved mysteries of the
scientific world.

UTILITIES COMMISSION
NOT TO GET ITS CASH
Appropriations for Valuations of
Corporations Required by
Law Not Made.

Although required by law to make val
uations of the properties of the public
service corporations in the District of
Columbia. the public utilities commission
will not get the $4,000 it asked for to be
made Immediately available in the Dis
trict appropriation bill reported today.
Nor will it get the $4,000 to be available
July / for making valuations. The sole
reason. judging from a study of the hear
ings before the subcommittee. is that
Representative Madden of Illinois tes-
titled that in his city similar valuations
had been made for very much less than
is estimated here.
The Commissioners in their capacity as
a public utilities commission told Repre-
sentative Page, chairman, and the other
members of the House subcommittee that
the work of making valuations OF the
property under consideration could be
done much better by a firm of account
ing experts than by a force organized I'M
der the commission. Commissioner Hard
ing explained that an accounting firm
already organized. could step right in and
take up the work with thoroughly
trained force of men with long knowl-
edge OF exactly what is necessary. The
Commissioners also made it plain that as
handle conclusively the matter of the
proper rates to be charged for gas, cleo
trio light, fares. telephone service, etc.

Submit Estimate of Firm.

The Commissioners submitted the esti-
mate of the accounting firm of Ford,
Bacon 6, Davis of New York, which
claimed that $4,000 would be necessary
for the entire work, and that from twelve
to eighteen months time would be con-
sumed For immediate use, from Decem-
Der 1, 1913. to July I, 1914. when the regu-
lar appropriations for the fiscal year 1915
would be effective, the firm figured $4,000
to be necessary. This, it was stated,
would be sufficient to make valuations OF
the property of the Chesapeake and Poto
mac Telephone Company. the Washington
Railway and Electric Company and the
Capital Traction Company.
After the Commissioners had made their
statement of the needs of the public utili-
ties commission Representative Madden.
not member of the committee, APP
peared. He detailed his experiences in
Chicago in street car and gas valuations,
saying that his judgment was that not
more than $4,000 or $4,000 would be
needed here for the valuation Of all the
public service corporations in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. Mr.. Madden spoke of
the valuing of a $5.OOO.OO0 concern Of
which he is president, the work costing
so.4O0.
Now If they could do that work 'or
$2.4OO, should think the work Of valuing
the telephone company could be done for
81. 900, the gas company for $1,000 and the
electric light company ought not to eA-
coed that amount.
