full.
After studying the conditions
in our own state and particularly
in this county, l have modified
this system, making it more adapt
able to conditions I have to meet
under our present laws governing
the assessment of property.
We have made sectional field
plats of every section in the county
upon which we classify all land by
forties, showing upon these plats
the various classes and grades of
land with the values per acre for
each class and locating ali improve
ments with their value.
"A. n. Roberts, who is well
known, and because of many years
of experience in doing field work
has good general knowledge Of
the county, is assisting me.
We first notify number of
school districts by circular letters,
keeping them notified a week in
advance. The property holders of
the district meet in their school
house in the evening, at which
time we discuss the values of the
various parts of the county, the
classlhcations and values of all
livestock, and parts of the revenue
law pertaining to assessment and
taxes and such other questions as
may come up. We also fix the
value OF the best land which is
used as the unit of value, and all
OF the land in the district is graded
over or under this standard by the
concepsus OF opinion of all property
owners. We do the same with
improvements centrally located in
the district which we have seen
and fixing the value of all other
Improvements by comparisons with
this one as unit, the people pre-
sent aiding in these comparisons.
The next morning we all meet
again and proceed with the assess
ment, each man giving in his pro-
perty in the presence IF the others.
We classify and assess district
each day. One of us does the
classifying and plat work while the
other takes the assessment and lists
the personal property.
With this system l will be able
to make the assessment of the
entire county myself and checking
up the standards already fixed for
the lands, improvements, and all
livestock and personal property.
/ will, be able to make a more
equitable assessment than there
has ever been made in this county
before. Last year as i'll preceding
years there were many unequal
assessments due to hurried work,
many fieldmen, and lack of system
and proper plats. All these things
we now overcome and save at least
one third the cost of doing the
work.
People in the districts we
have assessed have all come out
and have shown great interest
and have been more pleased with
the results, all having had voice
in the equalization of the assess
ments and the grading and CLASH
tying of the lands.

ACTIVITY IN
THE HORSE AND
MULE MARKET.
LOCAL DEALERS HAVE SHIPPED
NINE CARS UP TO DATE FOR
SERVICE IN THE GREAT EURO
PEAN CONFLICT.

The war in Europe has stimulated
the demand for horses and mules in
this country and especially in Okla
homa and Texas. Cargoes are being
shipped every day from some Texas
or other southern port to England
for use in the English cavalry. and
local dealers are getting their share
of the business.
Up to date, Rogers Brothers, own
ers of the Ardmore Horse and Mule
Market, have shipped nine cars. and
they have another one about loaded.
These horses go to Fort Worth stock
yards, where they are received by
representatives of the English gov
ernment.
The average price of horses of this
class is $125, although some have
brought above that figure. This is
fair price, considering the class
OF horses bred in this section Of the
country. In the older states, where
scientific breeding has been going on
for several decades, horses are much
higher in price and in quality, and
this argument is being used by local
stock men as a vital necessity to
have not only state but county fairs
stimulate farmers to scientific breed
ng, and thus make the stock they
have to sell more valuable when
put on the market.
Besides the local shippers, horses
ire being shipped through here from
'auls Valley, Wynnewood, and Da-
'is. The stock yards at Fort Worth
ook like an immense horse corral.

Oklahoma City, Oct. Sup to date
Governor CTuce has annulled forty

These valid acts have been recog-

German Guns i'm Forts.
LONDON, Oct. 9-An Athens dispatch says that
the Germans have placed fortywo centimetre guns in
the forts on the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus

cross the Scheldt, southwest of Ant
werp, made their main attack from the
/ east, and broke some days ago, with
the aid of their sixteen-inch guns,
through the first line of forts. Be-
! tween the first and second belt of forts
| according to their own accounts, they
defeated the Belgian army and captur-
ed number of guns.
Wednesday night shells began to
fall in the city itself, and from re-
ports coming through Holland the rail
way stations, the Palace of Justice and
several oil tanks have been damaged
At the same time six Zeppelin diri
gibles flew over the city dropping
bombs, but it has been impossible as
yet to ascertain the damage they have
done.
King Albert has called on all men
of military age, to assist in the defense
of the city. Thousands of others, wom-
en-, children and old men, have left
Antwerp hurriedly. Among the few
non-belligerents remaining here, are
the American Consul General, Henry
w. Diederich, and his staff.
The towns of Holland already are
crowded with refugees. The mayor of
Rotterdam has sent out warning that
there is no more room there for the
harassed Belgians, and steamers for
England are crowded with refugees.
More than 5000 refugees arrived at
Folkstone Thursday and were taken
in charge by committees. Many are
penniless.
Five German army corps are taking
part in the siege of Antwerp, which |
is defended by the Belgian army. The |
outer forts, like those of other fort |
resses which have fallen since the |
war began, have not been able to with |
stand the fire of the big German guns,
but the Belgians are still hopeful that
with inner forts, flooded area and a
mobile field army, they may hold the
city until assistance may come by the
defeats of the Germans in France.
Such a defeat, all realize, is an enor-
nous task, but the official communi- |
cation issued in Paris late yesterday,
gives the allies hope that the long

Belgians Make Last Stand

London, Oct. 9.-While the immense
armies of the belligerent powers of
Europe are engaged in a death grap-
pie along lines hundred of miles in
extent, in battles, which for the num-
bers engaged, in fierceness and stub
bornness, have no precedent in his
tory, the little army of Belgium is
making a last stand behind the forts
Of Antwerp, one of the strongest for
tilted positions in the world.
For the moment at least the strug-
gle around the chief port of Belgium
attracts the most attention for the
result of the engagement there must
have considerable effect on the big
ger battle between the Anglo-French
and German forces, which extend from
the Swiss frontier across France, al
most to the North Sea.

Something near peck of large
advertising tacks were sprinkled
literally over the pavement and the

ceived punctures as a result.
The police found a partly filled
box of the tacks this morning and

1t was evidently tie work of
boys, the mayor stated this morning,
but that would not prevent them
from getting the limit if they were
apprehended regardless of whose
boys they are. The mayor stated
that he had been lenient to violators
of the curfew law in the past, but
from now on the first boys caught

had better be prepared to spend the
night in the city bastile, and be fined
in the morning, and this, regardless

to let their boys come downtown at

with written permission in the fu-
ture, as a verbal order will not do.

the enforcement of the curfew law,
the juvenile court is working over

next week. The mayor says he
is going to make an effort to rem
