INCREASE OF S3O,0OO,0O0
IN CITY ASSESSMENTS
Richards Sets High Figure as
Probable Realty Valua-
ton Jump.

That the triennial assessment of real
estate in the District of Columbia. now
being conducted by the board OF as
sistant assessors. will show an increase
in valuation of approximately thirty
millions of dollars is the belief of As
SCISSOR William P. Richards.
The board has completed it's work in
the southwest and southeast sections
and probably will put the finishing
touches on its valuations of property
in the northeast section by early next
week. The total valuation placed on
southeast and southwest property on
the two-thirds assessment basis is said
10 be in the neighborhood of S35. 900.
This amount will represent COM
paratiyely small increase over the as
sessment returns Of year ago. it is
stated. the advances being made prin-
cipally in the case of land In these
sections in a number of instances 1t is
asserted. assessments on small improve
ments have been reduced.
Increase in Northwest.
The major portion of the thirty-million-
dollar increase anticipated by Assessor
Richards will be found in the assessments
to be placed on property in the north
west section. 1t is in this portion of
the National Capital that values have
recorded the biggest advances because of
improvements.
The present two-thirds assessed valua-
ton of land and improvements in the Dis
tr1ct is approximately $:t35.HO, 900. with
the full valuation about $,OO,O1O. COO.
According to E. w. Oyster. who was
appointed a member OF the board of as
sistant assessors to succeed Samuel T.
Kalbfus. the present assessing force is
inadequate. Mr.. yster favOrs annual
instead of triennial assessments. and be-
lieves that there should be squad of at
least fifteen field assistants to supply the
board with the necessary data concern
ing assessments.
by next January. and it is not likely that
the board will conclude it's labors much
before that time. The rolls. upon their
completion. will be turned over to the
board of equalization and review.

LONDON. September o1-Prepai tons
are far advanced for new and important
British antarctic expedition under the
comand of j. Foster Stackhouse. a neph-
ew of the famous physician, the late Sir
Jonathan Hutchinson.
Mr.. Stackhouse was intimatel, asso
ciated with Capt. Scott. and his objective
will be King Edward Wis land and the
unknown area to the east OF it,
King Edwards land was discovered by
Capt. Scott in 1902, but he did not land
there and no Briton has ever trodden its
soil
Boot Specially Designed.
For the voyage a special boat-the Pol
aris-has been built i'm Norway, according
to designs approved by Nansen. Capt.
Scott also saw the plans and made sug-
gestions regarding them.
According TO present arrangements the
expedition will start from the Thames
about August II and enter the ice at lat
tude 40 degrees south and longitude 100
degrees west. 1t will winter in the pack
ice and stay, if necessary, a second or
third winter.
The return journey will be by way OF
the Panama canal.
Stackhouse himself has never been to
the antarctic. but he has had good deal

Development Hindered.

1t will be remembered there was a
sudden and serious volcanic eruption at
Mount Katmai, some distance inland
from Kodiak Island, where the breeding
station is established. The eruption caused
a fall of volcanic ash over the whole of
the island, completely burying the native
pasture, and forcing the immediate re-
moval of the cattle herd from KODIAK.
The fall OF the ashes in places was four
teen inches thick. 1t was a question
whether to leave the herd where it was
and bring them winter food, or to move
the cattle to the food as the cheaper and
more convenient course.
Pasture was finally secured in the state
of Washington. and the bulk of the herd
was moved there, while thirty-fve or
forty culls were sold for what they would
bring rather than carry them through
the winter.
This shift of the herd interrupted what
promised to be an interesting expert
ment. The Galloway is primarily a beef
animal, but after acclimating it to
Alaska it was decided. II possible, to
make dual-purpose animal of 1t, and
eleven of the best mixers that could be
found were bought and were to be ship
ped to Alaska to see whether a good
mich COW could not be developed from
the hardy mountain strain of beef cattle.

Bear Menace to Stock.

Great hopes are entertained Of the sue
cess with the Galloway cattle herd in
various lines, but the special agent, Mr.
Georgeson. in charge of the Alaska ex
pertinent stations, says the most serious
menace to the success both of cattle and
sheep breeding on Kodiak Island is the
big Kodiak bear. This is brown bear,
the biggest in the world. He is thought
by many to be a leftover remnant of
the prehistoric animals that used to in
habit this continent. He thrives partic-
ularly on Kodiak Island, whence he gets
his name. but he lives also on the main
land
AS game animal he is protected by
the game laws. but it has been found
that the bear and stock raising win
not flourish In the same region. He killed
seven of the Kodiak station sheep in a
single night, and he kills cows and

Eyes Cast on the Yak.

This work, of course. was also inter-
rupted by the volcanic outbreak, and
the mixers are now with the rest of the
herd on pastures in the state of Wash
ington. But whatever comes of the milk
ing experiment, it is not SO radical as
the plan for making the cold-resisting

with long black curly coat that looks
like a fur-lined overcOat turned wrong
side out. 1t can stand the mountain
winters in Thibet, and they are colder
than anything Cook or Peary encounter
ed in their waltz around the polar ice
cap.
1T is thought that If the Yak is cross
ed with the Galloway, the hybrid will
be a better meat animal and will be able
to rustic a winter living anywhere inside
the arctic circle. Negotiations have
been opened with some of the European
zoos and animal collectors. and it is
thought a good yak can be secured at a
reasonable price and the experiment
tried.

NEW FOOD FOR THE SOLDIER
Ration 10 Said to Be the Best That
Has Vet Been Devised to Keep
Troops In Health.

Soldiers are going to receive a new
war bread made after recipe kept
secret by the technical section of the
commissariat and which has just been
experimental with successfully by
the troops in the east.
This produce is In the form Of small
biscuits and contains certain Quanti-
ty of sugar and purified vegetable fat.
which gives 1t an agreeable taste.
while furnishing to the muscles Of the
consumers supplement of carbon
which allows them to accomplish q
stronger effort.
The men consumed two biscuits in
the morning coffee, one in the soup,
eight as table bread.
The taste of this war bread, which
recalls little that of the petit beurre
biscuits or of the Japanese katapan-
sweet biscuits that are distributed to
the troops in the field-is more agree
able than the former one; its aspect
is also more appetizing and 1t was
eaten with satisfaction, especially
with the coffee and as table bread.
Its prolonged use caused no CASTRO
intestinal indisposition. neither did 1t
provoke, as it's predecessor, the dis
agreeable biscuit diarrhea."
The utilization of oats has also been
tried in very interesting way as
food for the soldier in the field. Dur
ing 80 consecutive days company of
infantry received a soup of torrefied
oatmeal. During the first 15 days
this company marched $40 kilometers-
During the other Is days it accom-
plished maneuvers in camp.
Now, during these 80 days no man of
this company went on the sick list,
while in each of the three other COM
panies Of the same battalion which ac-
complished the same marches and the
same maneuvers eight or ten men went
every day to the doctors consulta-
ton.
