Colts Hit Hard.
The final score for Brooklyn was
made in the seventh. when two hits.
one a double by Wheat, accounted for
tho run The Colts actually hit harder
than did the lcarucrs, though not with
so much frequency. Also the visitors
showed. as is but natural. far strong
er defense than the youngsters. Still.
the game was satisfying, certainly
from IA local standpoint. While n
game was lost. it was lost to an in

laid before the legal department Of
the state and steps will be taken to see
that each county either has the as
sessment made or the equalization
made In accord with law.
1t will follow. Of course, that cor
poration property will also be assessed
at actual value.
The procedure will be followed that
was used in 1903 and in 1908, and in
formation will be secured as to the
selling price of typical tracts OF land
and the actual assessment thereof.
Statistics Of this kind were secured IN
both the years mentioned. but ut that
time the executive council had very
little opportunity to make use OF the
facts elected.
The assessors have practically COM
pleted their work but the county
boards have yet to review this work
and, under the law. see to 1t that the
assessments are In accord with the
plain letter Of the statute. The meet
ings OF the review boards in June
therefore promise something decidedly
interesting.

Des MONIES. April 29.-The weekly
weather and crop service today, says:
The past week was. as whole fav-
cradle for farm work, and over the
larger part of the state. rapid progress
was made in sowing small grain and
blowing for corn. Work was. how
ever. retarded in the northwestern
counties by heavy rains on the 23d
and gath. which were followed, in all
sections by light to heavy frosts on
the last three mornings of the week.
About 80 per cent of the seeding
has been finished. and the remainder
will be completed within the next few
days. In the northwestern counties.
where the rainfall was the heaviest
and field work seriously retarded, con-
siderable of the acreage intended Tor
oats will be reserved for corn. The
early-sown grain Is up and shows a
good stand. Grass is growing nicely.
and in some localities stock is in pas
ture. Fruit trees are still in fine con-
dition. Plum trees are in blossom
in the central districts and all fruit
buds are beginning to swell in north
ern counties.
The spring pig crop is reported to
be short in many localities and espe-
cially where cholera was prevalent last
year.
The indications at the close of the
week are favorable for rising tenn
perature. and with warm weather corn
planting will begin during the coming
week.

MORE EQUITABLE ASSESSMENT.
Mates Law Basis Of Method to Bring
About Uniform Action.

About Uniform Action.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, April 29.-The state Of
ficials have definitely decided upon
following the plan of procedure as out
lined in this correspondence ten days
ago for securing a more just and
equitable assessment of all property in
the state for 1913 The new Mates
law will be made use of for the pur-
pose of laying the matter before all
officials of the state whose duty 1T is
to deal with assessments.
When the state has secured exact
information as to all values the next
step is to have assessments made in
accord with law. The executive coun-
Gil can act directly as to assessment
of property Of railroads and telephones
and similar property; but as to as
sessment of real estate and personal
property it can only act indirectly.
hence it is the intention to carry the
matter direct to the county boards OF
review at their June meetings. and put
it up to these boards to conform to
the law each in its own county. To
this end. as indicated some time ago.
the state officials will secure direct
from county records in the office OF
auditor and recorder. exact informa-
ton as to assessment values and prices
really paid for property. This will be

his death by suicide. The body is
