THE soMERs SYSTEM.

dubuque Telegraph Herald
The city council recently engaged
the Manufacturers Appraisal Company
Of Cleveland. o. 10 make a Talua-
tion OF real estate in the city Of Du-
buque. contracting TO pay for this ser
vice $500
This undertaking has Two objects.
One ig to establish equality among
tax payers by making a jus: valuation
Of the property of each. The other IS
TO increase the revenue of the city by
raising the total valuation.
The representatives Of the Cieve-
land concern have been holding con-
ferences al the city hall with some
Of the large real estate owners Of the
city with view to getting consen-
sus Of opinion respecting the value
OF land per front foot in the central
par; of the city. They expect to hold
similar conferences with owners OF
property further removed from the
business center.
The confer ences to date have result
ed In much disagreement respecting
values. 1t is agreed that the center
of the business district of Dubuque Is
al Main and Eighth streets, and that
the most valuable land in the city is
located lD-Ie ana one DioCh 1ioa IA 1870
south Of this center. But the con-
ferees have not agreed respecting the
value of land in this section nor con-
corning the proportion of this value
which land located elsewhere on Main
street possesses.
II these were honest differences OF
opinion. further conferences might re-
suit in fair adjustment 1t is much
GplfShneSs
has crept I'M that men are unwilling
TO have their property valued at what
they know it 10 be worth, and are
willing to testify that land elsewhere
is more valuable than its owners be-
lieve IL to be- In come instances,
/ owners appearing at the conferences
have proposed valuations far below
prices which have actually been OF
fered for the land whose just appraise-
ment is sought.
The interest OF the city lies IN JUST
valuation. The land should be ap-
praised for what it is worth, oegln-
ming with the land Of highest value
and running down from the business
center to the more remote sections
of the city The objection that the
county outside would reap material
advantage from a substantial increase
OF the total valuation in the city Is
not proper one at this time. ina'
fact was understood. or should nave
been understood. when the qaeseoh

Guiding time lost over half an hour.
Two other outfits are browning and

Wipins Out Wooden Bridges.
Four thousand bridges and culverls
make her bridging task enormous. She
Is wiping out scores Of old wooden
bridges with hlls and concrete cul-
verts. AT the time Of the Johnson death
in the Page-Fremont county disaster,
a hurried inventory of her own Wooden
bridges showed 100 wooden bridges,
"a feet span or over. equally danger
Gus as the Page Fremont county bridge
and three far more dangerous. One 10
foot wooden bridge, she is replacing
by a 2x2 box culvert a IS foot span
with . 3x3 culvert, and a score Of in
stances where small culverts take the
place Of long wooden death traps.
When Engineer Howard came on the
job, he found at one place the material
for a 60 foot steel span bridge with
concrete abutments. He hauled the
$1,000 steel bridge away to another site
1878 and had still $500 left out OF what
was set aside for the concrete abut-
ments Of the steel bridge. Another
steel bridge Of the same size was haul
ed away from another site and small
concrete culvert built with similar
saving.
Montgomery county people certainly
are the real thing as road boosters.

cd ten teams to make a cut and Ill

sired Improvement. Another farmer
along low stretch of road where
m o. few feet is needed. has In
structed the county to tear down his
fence and take all the dirt needed from
the edge OF his field.
THIS - the spirit that is getting re-
suits IN Montgomery county with
her county commission. her three trac-
tor outfits and altogether twenty two

NO PROFIT IN WAR.

War is on again in Europe, minor
war as vet but big with possibilities
of a general war that shall AFFECT the
entire continent. The peace temple at
The Hague stands, the peace societies
are busy sending out literature but the
war is on that may act as the loren
to kindle all Europe into blaze. In
the midst of the turmoil Germany with
1000 900 men available stands waiting
but ready. England and France see
themselves in dire danger. Russia has
somewhat 10 gain and little to lose by
war. Conditions are ripe for COM
plete chance OF the atlas of Europe.
And the hope lies not in the peace pal
ace but in the back rooms of finan-
ciers
A great general European war would
affect this country vitality. In the hrst
place it would Immediately affect
holders Of American securities abroad.
There would be liquidation and stocks
and securities in any wise dependent
upon foreign affairs would feel the Ell
tec,s. Then it would drain gold from
this country with an ultimate effect
TO disturb financial conditions here 1t
would take thousands Of men from
their labor in American industries The
effect Of the Balkan wars would be
-lagnifed in proportion to the territory
involved in the conflict. On the other
hand the demand FOR food stuffs should
bring higher prices for meats and other
food supplies 10 the benefit OF the pro-
Queer but scarcely 10 that of the sal
ar:ed and wage earning employees.
We have ceased to welcome war as
an asset and opportunity 10 the ma
tons not engaged. There is nothing
in il Destruction OF lives and prop
erty, immense expenditure by any ma
ton 10 the destruction OF wealth in
stead OF its creation is economic crime
and can not be favorable. In the long
run a great Europ can war would cost
this country more than ii would make.
Time was WlSn "AI q !baN y. US 49, -
sr!irk OF satisfaction 10 this country.
We imagined that we gained huge
profit by the difficulties OF another ma
tion. 1t was an illogical conclusion
II the long run. whether It be crop
failure or he removal OF millions OF
producers from production 70 consume
and destroy the loss is certain. Nobody
can eat his cake and have his cake.
And in this day OF world interdepen-
deaoe one mans cake is also the
other mans cake.
In short those who hope for a general
war anywhere on the face Of the earth.
imagining that they shall profit thereby
are begging for disaster. Nothing IS
truer than that We are our brothers
keepers Il !s as true in business and
in commerce as in ethics.

COMBATING poultry Pests.

One OF the best mixtures to use IN
combating mites is kerosene emul-
sion. 1t is made by mixing two GAL
Ions of kerosene oil, one half pound OF
whale oil soap. one quart OF home
made soft soap. and gallon OF water.
Dissolve the soap by boiling the water,
then remove from fire and add the
kerosene at once. Churn the mixture
rapidly and violently until 1t Is as
smooth as beaten cream. One part
of emulsion to several parts of water
is used to dilute the mixture for APP
plication to buildings, dropping boards
or nest boxes. Add one or two ounces
of carbolic acid to the emulsion just
before applying. This is splendid
disinfectant and insecticide to use
about the poultry house.
