CHIcAGo'S APPLICATION RE-
FUSED.

Washington.-In an elaborate opin'
ion, dealing with the principal points
advanced in the long series of argu-
ments which were held last year at
the war department, Secretary Stim'
son has denied the application of the
Sanitary District of Chicago for per-
mission to divert from Lake Michigan
10000 cubic feet of water per, second,
instead of the 4,167 feet, at present
authorized. The secretary finds that
the increased provision would injure
navigation; that there is no necessity
therefor; thstS theS application eoula
not be allowed without congressional
authorization, and that Canada has a
just right to protest against it, except
upon approval by the joint waterways
commission.

Assessments Low.

A difference of $62,241, ,S54.40 in
the estimation of the valuation
of the tangible property of the
four largest railroads in Kentucky
among members of the State Railroad
Commission was made apparent to-
day when Chairman Lawrence B. Finn
read his dissenting opinion to the ac-
ton of the majority in fixing the as
sessment for 1912 the same ISL,
with mileage built up to July l. 1912,
added.
The four railroads are the Louisville
& Nashville, the Chesapeake & Ohio,
the Queen & Crescent and the Illinois
Central Commissioners w. F. Klair
and H. G. Garrett, allowing for in
creased mileage and improvement.
took the 1911 assessment as basis,
which is as follows:
Louisville & Nashville -. .$29, ,170,377
Chesapeake & Ohio ..... 6,570,270
Queen and Crescent $500. 6.050, 800
Illinois Central .......... 12,377, 1888
Unusing what he considered 80 per
cent of the fair cash value of the
roads, Chairman Finn estimated the
taxable value of the roads as follows
Louisville & Nashville .$62 sos, GA. 40
Chesapeake & Ohio ..... 20,362, 10000
Queen & Crescent ...... 1850, ,604.00
Illinois Central .... 20,S71 ,466. 90
His valuation would more than dou-
BILE the assessment of the roads.

PLANT DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Calgary, Alberta.-The packing plant
of P. Burns & Co. was destroyed by
fire. The loss, including meat and cold
storage probably will be in excess OF
$:,O00,000. On account of the low wa
ter pressure the fire department was
unable to do effective work. The loss
is serious because the plant was the
largest of it's kind in this part of Can
ada, and from which all the Western
cities, including Vancouver and Vic
toria, and the coast cities, drew large
ly for their meat supply.

OUTPUT OF MINES
KENTUCKY MAKES GREAT REC
ORD FOR THE YEAR 1912.
Prospects are Bright for increase OF
Tonnage During 1e13-Statement
BY the Chief Inspector.

Frankfort.-In statement issued
c. ]. Norwood, chief inspector of
mines, discusses the output of Ken
lucky coal mines for the year 1912.
Mr.. Norwood said:
The statistical reports received by
as office for the eleven months up
TO December 1, with less than 100,00
tons estimated for a few minor com
panies that have yet to report for No
vember, indicate an output of approx
mately 15,5o0,000 tons of commercial
coal for the Kentucky mines for the
calendar year 1912.
The known production. E., the
amount already reported up to Decem-
ber /, with no estimate-amounts to
1892 tons.
Estimates for December, together
with the tonnage estimated for delin-
quent mines in November, indicate
the following production for the year
by the respective districts:
District.
Western ................... 100000
Southeastern .............. 4,S45, 900
Northeastern .......-..... 3,245,0 900
Total 10, $50, 600
This indicates an increase of more
than 100000 tons above the output
for 1911, and an increase of more than
100000 tons above that for 1910, which
hitherto has been the banner year
Complete returns for November
and actual figures for December may
either increase or decrease the esti
mated amount somewhat, but it seems
safe to place the output at not less
than about 15,5OO,OOO tons.
The prospects for 1913 are bright
Barring extraordinary disturbances,
look for an output of not less than
20,000.000 tons; it may be materially
greater"

Reasons of Majority.

Commissioners W. F. Klair and H
G. Garrett begin their statement by
reference of the commission on De
cember %, 1912, when it was decided
to fix the assessment at the 1911
figures plus a fair valuation build
since up to July, 1912. They call at
tention to provisions of the law gov
erning the fixing of valuation of fran
chises by the Board of Assessment
and Valuations and of tangible prop
erty by the Railroad Commission.
Their statement sets forth that for
reasons unknown TO them the Board
of Valuation and Assessment had not
followed the law requiring the assess
ments of franchises to be based upon
reports submitted on July of the
current year, but had the case of the
Railroad Commission they say the as
sessment of tangible property was
made in accordance with the report
of july l, 1912, as provided by law
Chairman Finn criticized all four
railroads for their refusal to submit
to a partial assessment on the 1911
basis pending investigation by an ex-
pert and said thorough valuation
and fair assessment would eliminate
the contention with the roads over
the franchise assessments.

Answering the question why Ken

There may be no wrong thought OF
intention, but it is not in good taste.
if the man is Of the wrong
