Assessing Property.

Several property owners have men,
perty owned by them has bees placed
higher than they were willing to sell
at. One piece of property was valued
at S12,500 for which the owners say
they will take $1,000. We find the
following to be the state law concern
ing this matter:
In determining the true value of
taxable property. the market value
shall be the guide. When property
cannot be fairly said to have mark
ct value, the price it would bring at
fair voluntary sale and not its
price at a forced sale, the value of
the use thereof and the capability of
use, together with any other just
method of determination, may be con-
sidered by the assessor. What the
owner is willing to sell a piece of
property for does not constitute value,
nor does what some other party may
be willing to pay for property consti-
tute value, but where property is ac-
tually sold under ordinary conditions
the purchase price paid represents
the actual value of that property.

GOOD ROADS IN ARIZONA.
Many Miles Of Highway Improved In
the Southwest.

Many Miles Of Highway Improved In
the Southwest.
Many miles of country roads have
been improved in the southwestern
country by the application Of caliche.
which, If properly handled. gives salts
faction for country road Of moderate
cost Last season three miles Of road
near Phoenix were improved by the
application of caliche and wearing
surface of oiled sand and gravel.
Caliche Is a local name for calca-
reOus, cement-like deposit which occurs
in great abundance in many parts of
Arizona, particularly In and near the
foothills. When pulverized, wet and
compacted by traffic or rolling 1t forms
a macadam or concrete-like mass OF
moderate hardness and fairly high de-
gree Of toughness.
The engineer states that the road has
very satisfactory surface. but it re-
mains to be seen whether the sand and
oil will last al long as the caliche base.
The cost Of the road was about 5000
per mile. Caliche was hauled from one
and three-quarters to four and three
quarter miles and the oil from four
aud one-half to seveh and one-Aslf
miles.-Engineering Record

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.

More cows are needed on our farms
No animals are better for soil i'm
provement and the conservation of hui
man food than cows. More cows
should be kept and more homes abun-
dainty supplied with milk and butter.
A few pounds of butter week or
few hundred pounds of butter fat per
month would mean more cash in the
home.
Milk cows will need succulent food
this spring and next winter. Plant
crops for early grazing and build
silo and fill j. for winter feeding. Sue
culent food is indispensable to eco
nomical milk production.
Grain is very important crop to
sustain and fatten animals. Corn is
the staple In the humid belt and Kaffir,
milo and feterita in the arid and semi
arid belt Plant liberal acreage In
grain.
Carrots. disregarding their cost, make
the best succulent feed that may be
given to a horse. They are very pala-
table to almost all horses and do much
to tone up the system. This is par
ucularly noticeable in the thrifty con-
dition Of the skin and hair of horses
which are fed carrots regularly. Car
rots are particularly priced by filters
Of show horses. which are being fed
heavily on grain. Ten pounds per day
Is generally accepted as the maximum
feed for an idle horse of average size
Half as many pounds will sufflce for
the worker. Unless one has an IN
usual supply three or four carrots
thrown In the feed box will suffice II
large they should be split lengthwise
o. pulped.

ROAD REPAIRING
A REAL ECONOMY.
Funds Should Be Conserved by Repairs
at Necessary Times.

The Office of public roads Of the de-
partment of agriculture Is making q
strong effort to focus the mind of the
country on the fact that maintenance
and effective repair are of equal i'm
portance with the actual Improvement
Of bad roads. Investment of money
in new roads does not become real
economy until provision is made for
keeping these new roads in condition
after they are built. If new road
is built and then allowed to fall into
disrepair much of the original invest
ment is simply wasted. says Munich
pal Engineering.
Europe. generally speaking. is ahead
Of the United States in the matter of
road improvement, but Great Britain
is struggling with problem similar
to the one that confronts the people Of
the United States. In England. Scot
land and Wales there are no fewer
than 2,140 separate authorities, who
between them administer IT'S, 4S7 miles
of roads, or an average of only eighty
two miles apiece. In Scotland, apart
from the big cities, there are over 200
burghs, one-half of which have but ten
miles of road apiece to maintain.
Needless to say such a minute mile
age is insufficient to keep the road
plant fully occupied all the year
around and renders the employment Of
a skilled engineer impossible for eco.
nOmical reasons
officials Of the Office Of public roads
when called upon for assistance by the
various states are pointing out that
road building is an art based on SCI
ence and that trained men and expe-
rienced men are necessary to secure
the best results.
Statisticians have found that, al
though the average expenditure on the
improvement of roads exceeds $1,000
900 day. Il large portion of the
money in the United States Is wasted
because Of the failure to build the
right type Of road to meet the local
requirements or the failure to provide
for the continued maintenance of the
Improvement.
The various states and counties with
in the last six months have taken
greater interest in road improvements
than ever before in the history of the
United States. and there is now a
strong movement to conserve the
roads of the country where they are
improved. Scientific maintenance will
be one of the chief features of the
work of the Office of public roads
throughout the present year.

fused him meals. But the priest
stayed on. The pangs of hunger
sharpened his sermons against his
detractors. though often they were
delivered only to rude and empty
benches The priests clothes were
worn threadbare, his yestments were
shabby, his shoes wore out and he
went barefoot His meals he was
forced 10 beg from reluctant parish
toner's.
'The months wore on and with the
passage of time came added Alard-
ships. But the priest showed no in
tent OF deserving his post and his
sermons against the evils of the
camp were as vigorous as ever. Fin
ally the miners capitulated."
The plucky preacher was provided
with the necessaries he needed. and
the next Sunday the little church
was crowded. The priest told the
miners to clean up the camp and
they did 1t was still rough, but the
worst features of yiciousness were
eliminated by common consent and
the desperadoes driven from town or
subdued. The next day the priest
started collecting subscriptions for
the construction of a hospital for
the miners. In two months the hos
pital was opened.
The archbishop of San Francisco
transferred Father Seaman in 1873
to Petaluma, Cal. against the pro-
tests of Phoebe people; but in a few
months the priest was again trans
ferred, this time to Salt Lake as
missionary rector There were then
only $1,000 people in the parish. of
whom but 800 were Catholics, and
only 80 of these were in Salt Lake
and Ogden. In two years the debt
of $4,000 on the little church edifice
in this city was paid Off, and the
Rev, Dennis Kelly. now vicar gen
eral. was sent from San Francisco
to assist. The little church has
since been replaced by the imposing
100000 stone edifice on East South
Temple street.
Dean Harris history further states
During all of the time he has
been in Utah, Bishop Scanlans re-
lations with the people and leaders
of other denominations have been
cordial and pleasant. Brigham Young
received him in pleasant manner,
and no antagonism between the
bishop and any of the successors of
Brigham Young has ever arisen. In
deed, the heads of all denominations
in Utah have ever been on the
friendliest terms with the head OF
the Catholic church in the diocese

Bishop Seaman was educated al
All Hallows college, Dublin, and emf
grated to the United States Ia July,
1868. He went on to San Francisco,
via the isthmus. in the fall He was
appointed assistant pastor of St Pat
rick's church, but was later trans
ferred TO the cathedral as assistant.
There was a call shortly from Phoebe.
New, for a priest, and Father Scan
Ian volunteered to go. He was sent
there, but was taken with pneumonia
en- route, and barely pulled through.
Phoebe was in those days pretty
tough place, but the young priest
went to work with will, and was
at first heartily supported by the
local people, though he was forced
to endure some hard trials and trib-
ulations in getting his church
started
The Rev Seaman was a fearless
man and did not hesitate to declaim
against the prevalent vice conditions,
which brought down on him the
wrath of the tough element" Har-
ris' history says. He was boycotted,
and only a handful of devout miners
attended his church. No money
went to the support of the priest.
