FIRE WARDEN
MAKES RECORD

State Fire Warden E. w. Fer
ris closed up the work of the
state forestry office Sept. 80,
and states that this has been the
most successful year the depart
ment has had. VIM. Gillings of
Meyers Falls, Stevens county's
deputy fire warden, is compli-
mented not only by the state Of
flee but by the residents of this
county, who realize that he has
given his time to the work. and
has been conscientious and pract-
ical. He has been out since July
Is, has issued about 200 burning
permits with no forest fires re-
sulting, has incurred an expense
of but S13 in fighting fires in the
county, and has worked wholly
with an idea to prevention rather
than fighting fire. Mr.. Gillings
rode a bicycle in most of his
travelling over the county, con-
sequently his expense vouchers
for the season amount to about
$83. This is a marked contrast
to former wardens' expenses in
travelling in this county.

Colville is beginning to realize
that the Index editor is a consid-
cradle even if not consistent
lover of animals. Last fall he
had an elephant and a moose left
on his hands, and he is now add
ing to his collection a Great Dane
dog, which sort is presumed to
have considerable intelligence,
when grown up, but which of
course when young has no choice
of masters and should not be
held responsible for his company.
The Examiner editor expects to
make friends with the Index dog
as soon as the dog gets old
enough to appreciate the favor.
We have tried logic, persuasive
influence and kindness on it's
owner, without avail; so we'll try
the dog.

reforms in the future, and more

A comparison readily shows
that the assessed valuation of
the state today is a little more
than four times what it was in
1894. On the other hand state
taxes are more than IL times
what they were in 1894.
In other words, state expenses
have grown three times as fast
as have the values Of the prop
erty in the state.
This is another comparison
that is interesting: If a man
owned a piece of land assessed at
$1,000 in 1894 he would have paid
$3.12 on it in state taxes. The
same piece of land held today,
would be assessed at about $4480,
and on it today state taxes would
amount to $39. 45, while a piece
of land assessed at $1,000 today
would pay state taxes Of 1881 as
against So. IL on property of the
same value in 1894.
In contrast to the facts in the
case, the following appears in
the Statesman-Index, and is in
true Veatch style:
'The democrats have already
succeeded in making the taxes in
the state of Washington the
highest in the history of this
commonwealth. People W no
voted the democratic ticket last
year should take their medicine
uncomplainingly. The rest of us
have a right to kick, and if we
succeed in kicking the party out
Of power at the first opportunity
the world will owe us a profound
debt of gratitude. -
Governor Ernest Lister has is
sued the following statement rel
ative to the increase in the state
tax levy as announced by the
state board of equalization:
"The increase in the tax levy
necessary by the state board of
equalization does not come as a
surprise to me. In fact, it is ex-
actly the condition l pointed out
to the legislature during the last
session. In one of the veto mes
sages delivered during the ses-
sion | went into detail and it was
shown that it would not only be
necessary to levy to the full
amount allowed by law for gen.
eral fund purposes, which is 3
mills, but also that this increase
in the levy would not raise suf-
ficient revenues. l did not await
the fixing of the levy before ta-
king up with the different de-
partments the necessity for hold
ing down expenditures to the
lowest possible point. This was
done months ago and has been
kept constantly before the heads
Of the departments. We do not
desire to practice economy to the
degree of .injuring the states
service. Wherever expenses can
be cut without injuring the de-
partments it will be done. When
we call to mind the fact that ap-
preparations amounting to sever
al million dollars were vetoed,
we can all now realize in what
condition the state would have
been had it been called upon to
raise revenues for these vetoed
appropriations in addition to the
amount we find it necessary to
raise by taxation to cover those
appropriations that became eff
fective.

That the new logged-of land
bill, passed by the legislature
last spring, is not generally un-
derstood is evidenced by the few
applications which have been
made for copies of the law, which
are furnished free by the secre-
tary of state upon application.
In Stevens county there are
1872, 900 acres of logged-off lands
fit for cultivation, and the law
prescribes how districts may be
created, the state paying for the
improving, and the settler or
buyer being given ten years to
pay for his land.

How Chautauquas Are Run

First the advertising crew goes from
town to town in automobiles decked
with gay red and white pennants. The
members of this enthusiastic crowd put
up posters, distribute leaflets, visit COM
mittees and stir up anticipation general
ly. Six weeks later comes the group of
o. energetic college boys thai make up
the Chamtauqua roustaboujs. They
come in with their car of freight on the
morning OF the first day, roll up their
sleeves and get to work in way that
proves conclusively that formal edu-
cation does not soften a boy in the least
They waste no time. When they have
driven their stakes, hoisted their can
vass roofs, clapped their platforms into
place clatterd the chairs or benches
into order, hurried through the thousand
strenuous tasks of the first morning,
the service of the seven days engage
ment has just begun. There is always
something about the tents or ground o
make ready for the daily shifting of en-
tertanments.
Chautauquas in this section are run
like a progressive game. Here is a
chain OF the towns:-Denton, Md. Cam
bridge, Md, Georgetown Del, Milford
Del, Dover, Del, Smyrna, Del, Elkton,
Md, Newtown, Pa, Hightstown, y. j.,
Red Bank, = j., etc. There is at an
average of 80 miles between them At
every Chautauqua the program IS prac-
tically the same in events and in order
in which they come. Train service is
fairly good in this part of the country.
The big Florentine Band crowd off the
train at Denton on the first day. At
night they are resting up for the next
days concert at Cambridge. Perhaps
as they board the early mornings Pen
nsylvania" or the M. d. G. v" for
Georgetown, Del, where it is Chautau-
qua first day, they catch a glimpse Of
the seven singers of the Tyroiean Com
pany taking their first survey of the
town the Band is leaving. Or they may
have met Mr.. Frank Dixon, the speak.
er for the second day at Denton just ar
irving with his suitcase. The Tyroleans
and Mr.. Dixon will be leaving the town
within the next twenty four hours to g.
to the way of the tirst-day people At
the same time the thrd-day entertain
ers and speakers will be on their way to
take their places. Wherever the Band
appears it is the first day of the Chau-
tauqua in that place. Wherever Mr.
Dixon appears it is the second day. Mr.
Pearson's calendar through the whole
season ergisters just as consistently, the
third Chautauqua day One man be-
sides the college boys, the routsabout
crew and the leaders of the Junior work
belongs to town through the whole
week. This is the platform superinten-
dent. who also gives the series lectures.
DR.. Jesse H. Holmes, of Swarthmore
College. and DR.. A. E. Turner, of Hast
ings College are two of the splendidly
capable coaches who will keep the play
ers that follow the leaders" in the
ChautauqGa progressive game from
making fouls.
These are the striking features of the
circuit system of conducting Chautau-
quas.

proprietors of candy stores in his pre-

decided to award him the contract.
Mr.. Belfatto's objection was that
Scott had abeen the low bidder and

felt that they could award the con-

In explaining his reason for oppos-
ing the proposition, Rabbi Foster said
today.
I'VE have not received a really au-
thentic report of the verdict in the
case as yet. We do not know whether
Beiliss was acquitted as a jew or
merely as an Individual.
Nothing more than simple justice
has been done. Russia should be
ashamed of herself for even allowing
the case to be tried.

Jewish faith parade and make a great
demonstration merely because justice
prevailed? 1t should be taken as a
matter of course"

against the city. awarding damages
to the various property owners along
the Passaic river
The vice chancellor announced That
in his opinion ii was a useless eX-
pense of time and money to offer
the large bulk of expert testimony
that was heard in the last case. Act

Counsel Edward II. Mercy repre-

der way the vice. chancellor learned
that the property owners who were
not entirely satisfied with the awards
secured in the former suit had taken
the matter to the Court of Errors
and Appeals. The latter court has
been asked to determine the amount
of damages sustained by the property
owners by reason of the retarded i'm
provement of their property due to
the stencil and pollution OF the
river.
Vice Chancellor Stevens announced
that he would postpone hearing the
present action until the verdict OF
