TAX EXPERT
IS WORKING
IN COUNTY

Through the terms Of a contract be-
tween J. D. Lindsay, former county
clerk Of Grady county. and the com.
missioners Of this county, the re-as-
sessment Of certain classes Of property
within the county has been progress
ing under the direction OF J. p. Whit.
tnghill tax expert from the Blue
Grass state, for the past eight weeks
the work now being at its height, and
up to the present time additional as.
sessments on valuation of $41S,552
have been made. netting in taxes ap-
proximately $4,000.
This special work has not TO do with
the assessment of real estate and per
sonal properly but is devoted to cash.
notes, mortgages, domestic and foreign
stocks, owned by persons within the
county. The work goes back as far
as the year 1908 and so far has dealt,
in the main. with those owning smaller
blocks Of stocks. notes, etc, but at the
present time several cases involving
large amounts are pending.
The amount mentioned, s41S.552. is
the valuation upon which an amicable
agreement has been reached between
the tax expert and property owners.
This. however. does not mean a com.
promise, as Mr.. Whittinghill says he
insists upon settlements on the real
valuation of the property and not upon
compromise.
The work is about half completed in
the county and it is expected that later
in the course Of events, the cases VIII
from time to time be contested. In
this event the state courts may be
resorted to by the property owner, as
well as the tax expert, and it is possi-
BILE for a case involving such taxes to
be carried from the lowest to the high
est court in the state before final
settlement is reached.
Up to the present time. all cases
have been settled before w. 7. Cloud,
county treasurer. to whom the facts in
the cases are first submitted by the
parties concerned.
The greatest amount Of taxes collect
ed from one individual up to the pres
ent time in the proceedings is S629
ranging from which are amounts down
to only few dollars. The data is all
in the hands of " T. Cloud. who will
hear the case and pass upon it about

yesterday for the east for few weeks

Did yon see the Chickasha conpers

was not a salvation army man you saw
on the street. it was simply Bose Ram

tire force is suutting some today. That
there may be a revolt in police ranks
on account of the caps. however, is

ALL SHOWS
Are CLOSED
ON SUNDAY

The pleasure seekers of Chickasha
Yesterday sought in vain for some
amusement at the local play houses.
There was nothing doing and they
were compelled to be content with sim
ply standing around in the lobbies and
looking at the colored Autographs illus
trativs Of Mondays shows.
AT the last moment Saturday night
there appeared to be a strong inclina-
ton to back pedal on the part of the
shows. 1t seemed that no particular
manager wished to take the responsi-
bility of test case upon his own
shoulders. hence all remained closed
all day Sunday.
None Of the theater managers who
were seen today had anything to say as
to any future action they might take.

in his hand mandolin. His entry
into Pullman marked the com pletion

ing which he has visited every town
of Importance in 81 of the states of
the Union. AT each town he gathers
interesting bits of historical news.

UNIVERSITY CLUB SMOKER

The University Club gave a very
enjoyable smoker last Friday after
noon from four to six in the club
rooms at the Cliff House. Those
present, most of whom are connected
with the State College, report an eX-
ceptionally good time, The two
hours were spent in getting acquaint-
ed with one another and in blowing
out great clouds of tobacco smoke.
The average university man is en-
tirely proficient in these two forms
.ot amusement though We have it on
good authority that some of our most
prominent faculty members had sore
tongues the next morning. yet it is
rather hard to believe. Cider,
doughnuts, apples and cigars were
served in profusion and in the most
appetizing manner-free for the
taking.
This was only one of a number of
such meetings that have been held,
and plans are on for the continuing
of these get together" meetings.
They give the new men a chance to
see and become acquainted with the
other men OF the institution. a
chance that would not come I'M
less through an organization of
this sort. The benefits OF such asso-
citation can not be oyerestimated, for
it is the tendency of the average man
TO meet too seldom in 4 social way
the other men of like standing in the
community. The other side OF the
human nature than that brought out
IN the class room or in the office is
shown in these short sociable hours.

planning to have a function shortly

wives and lady friends are to be in

PRESIDENT BRYAN RESIGNS
lContinned from first pagel

that il was the first land grant col
lege TO adopt high standards, both
of admission and graduation, and to
organize its instruction on a broad
departmental basis.
The First Faculty
Some idea of the remarkable
changes wrought under the admins
tration of President Bryan is con
veyed 10y contrasting the teaching
force of the college when he as
sumed charge with the present fac
ulty The faculty selected by the
board or regents in August, 1898,
was as follows
Enoch 4. Bryan A. NJ president,
professor OF history and political
science
Edward X. Lake, NJ s. professor
OF agriculture, horticulture and for
estry
Mrs. Nancy l., VanDoren. precept-
ress. professor Of English literature
and librarian.
Chas. v Piper, B s, professor of
botany and zoology
James Ferguson, secretary 10 the
faculty. professor of stenography ana
typewriting.
Addison r. Saunders. NJ, e., pro-
lessor OF mechanical engineering and
physics.
Osmer l.. Waller, Phi. b., professor
Of mathematics and civil engineer
ing
Elton Fulmer, NJ. a, professor of
chemistry.
Lyman c. Read, assistant pro-
fessor of horticulture.
Preparatory department: George
II. Watt, B. S, principal, and Miss
Anna Howard, assistant
Besides President Bryan but two
members Of that first faculty are now
connected with the college, Pro
fessors Waller and Fulmer.
Regent James c. Cunningham OF
Spokane let it be known clearly
that in all probability no present
member of the w. S. c. faculty will
be selected to succeed President
Bryan in office. Mr.. Cunningham
statement as it appeared in Tues
days Spokesman-Reyiew follows:
1T is probable in the selection of
a successor to Mr.. Bryan the board
of regents will not at present be dis
posed to make selection from the
faculty of the College. This is not
because of any lack of appreciation
of the ability and fitness of some of
the members. but rather with the
thought of avoiding the possibility
Of any internal discord or friction in
relations.
I'VE therefore with deep regret
accept the inevitable. and desire to
invite the cooperation of all friends
of education in the statG- and especi-
ally those who are more directly in
terested in the State College. The
board of regents will welcome such
assistance in performing the import
ant duty of selecting an acceptable
to President Bryan.
