CAIRO, H.. April 4.-Sandbags,

that have seeped up through the lower

Yet, In spite of this imminent dan
ger, residents Of Cairo today were
hopeful. The fear that the bulkheads
would give way yesterday, they found
was without foundation. and today
they believe that the waters may re-
cede before a high wind sends the
sandbag structure crumbling before
the current. The news that the rise

Rivermen believe that the waters
were drawn of through a new chan

has an unusually large heart, and
sometimes when his sympathetic
chord is struck he is an easy
mark" Last Monday a stranded
theatrical man came to town and
wanted a night to put on a show
and recoup his finances. Bob tried
him out on few pieces and a song
or two and told him to go TO 1t.
The man did his best to entertain
his audience and II could have
been a great deal worse. However
some of the patrons we're not satis-
fled so Bob made good with n free
show Tuesday night. TO propitiate

attended Tuesday night who had
not been there the night before

Assessment at Full Value.

The state board of equalization
has ordered that all property in N.
Mexico be assessed at its full val
ue. The board has already placed
the property of all railroads and
other corporations in the state on
the tax books at their full value.
and the board has sent out instruc-
tions to the assessors and county
boards of commissioners to see
that all property be rendered at full
value.
If property is assessed at full
value the rate will be lower and
the taxes should not be any greater
and will probably be reduced.
The railroads have already serv-
ed notice on the state board that
all property owners must pay In
same proportion as the companies
do or they will resist payment.
