Fort Smith, Sept. 1.-The tax valua- ton of personal property in the Fort Smith district, as shown by the as- sessor's report which was filed to- day, discloses a decrease in valua- ton of more than half-million dol lars. The total valuation placed on the property this year is $6,O66,71 as compared with $6,643,306. An an usual feature of the report is the fact that weapons valued at $420 have only bee nassessed by the owners.
