CITY AGREES TO PAY
The ENTIRE EXPENSE
MAKES PROPOSITION FOR TAX
ING OVER LAS VEGAS SEWER
cOMPANY'S LINES

Action which, it is believed, will
hasten the transfer of the property
of the Las Vegas Sewer company to
the city, was taken last night at
special meeting of the city council
when a resolution was passed pledg-
ing the municipality to pay all the
expenses of conveyance and the dis
solution of the sewer corporation and
to exempt all of its stockholders from
the payment of assessments for the
construction of the new sewer. The
council also adopted form of re-
lease which will be signed by all
stockholders in the sewer company.
One of these will be sent to each
stockholder and all are expected to
be returned at special meeting of
the sewer corporation on October Is.
AS every stockholder in the old
sewer who has been interviewed upon
the subject is in favor of making the
transfer, which, in effect, is an even
trade, it is likely that the property,
consisting of mains and laterals in
the main part of the business district,
will be decided to the city early this
fall. This agreement was made at
the time the new sewer line was
built three years ago, but so much
difficulty was encountered in secur-
ing a representative meeting of the
stockholders of the old sewer COM
pany that the matter has been allow
ed to hang fire until the present. The
plan adopted last night was suggested
by City Attorney Clark.
The special committee appointed to
make report upon the advisability OF
altering or repeating the fireproof
garage ordinance made no report
This leaves the present ordinance un
changed. At meeting several weeks
ago, a similar committee reported IN
favor of retaining the ordinance IN
its original form.
Present at the special meeting were
Mayor H. M, Smith, Clerk Charles
Tamme and Aldermen w. E. Kaser

CHICAGO. Sept. 26.-Wheat dropped
in price today, owing to sharp break
at Liverpool where there was an in
creased pressure of supplies, especial.
ly from Canada The opening, which
was q to IA cent lower, was follow
ed by a decided further drop. The
close was steady at IA to IL cents
under last night.
Corn turned down grade with wheat.
After starting Il to as cents off, pric-
es rallied a trifle but then sagged
lower than before. The close was
firm but 5s to q cents net lower.
Depression spread to oats because
Of the weakness of other cereals.
Provisions developed some strength
as result of higher quotations for
hogs. The effect was offset later,
though, by the setback in grain. The
closing quotations were:
Wheat, Sept. 1854 Dec. 1881;
May 1.151s.

FOREST SERVICE

STUDY
MILL SCALE INVESTIGATIONS
WILL BE HELD AT FLAG
STAFF, ARlZ.

Arrangements have been made by
the forest service for the commence
ment of a mill scale study of west
ern yellow pine at Flagstaff, Ariz.,
mills about october 1. This study is
similar TO some that have been COM
pleted in other western districts, the
object being to determine the amounts
and grades of lumber produced from
western yellow pine logs. and to pro
cure data upon which to draw speci-
fications for the classifying of logs
into grades. This information in. turn
is to be used as the basis for determ-
ining the quality of standard timber
in grades for merchantable lumber
and also to percentages to be allowed
for waste due to defect in the stand
ing trees. While for this year 1t is
quite improbable that the forest serv-
ice will be able to carry the study be-
yond the timber belt in the vicinity
of Flagstaff and Williams, 1T is Plan
ned to eventually collect data from
other forested areas throughout the
district This study is considered
one of the most important that has
been undertaken in this district on
account of the basis that will be laid
for estimating and classifying, as to
quality, the western yellow pine on
the several forests

AB1TTLE OF TONGUES

Stories of the brutal atrocities OF
the Germans, as told by the French
and Belgians, should be taken with
a grain of salt. Accusations Of cruelty
on the part of the French and Bel
sians, emanating from German
sources. should be swallowed with an
ual amount of seasoning. 1t would
sr better, in fact, if one should refuse
as swallow any Of these literary mas
serpieces until they can be accom-
panied by a dressing of real tacts.
{ -<yNsrh two individuals are fighting,
anyone who gets in the way is likely
TO Get hurt. The same thing applies
TO nations. Doubtless numerous non
combatants have been injured during
the european war solely because they
were so unfortunate as to get in the
way. Prejudiced and angry, these
people doubtless have not been any
too quick to deny that their wounds
and woes were inflicted upon them
wantonly by the enemy's soldiers.
An invading army always is ac-
cused of cruelties, though often it is
obliged to adopt stern measures to
put down sniping on the part of non
who resent the intrusion.
The Germans do not deny having
done SO in several instances.
But the stories of hospital trains
being fired upon, Red Cross attaches
being manned to prevent their giving
aid to the enemy, soldiers mistreating
civilians, and the like, directed
against the military forces of all the
nations involved in the war, undoubt-
edly are exaggerations or fabrications.
1t would appear from the press re-
ports that the opposing nations are
engaged in two separate wars; one
with weapons in an endeavor to wipe
out each others armies and the other
with tongue and pen, in an endeavol
TO see which can tell the greater lies
against the others reputation.

SUPERINTENDENT WILL
ATTEND PUEBLO MEET
MR.. MYERS WILL HELP SANTA
FE CUT DOWN DAMAGE
TO FREIGHT

f. l.. Myers, superintendent of the
New Mexico division of the Santa Fe
railway, will leave this evening for
Pueblo to attend the company's semi
annual loss and damage conference.
More than 100 officials, representing
the Santa Fe's operating, traffic, me
chanical and accounting departments,
will participate in the meeting, which
opens Monday, lasting week.
THE object of the conference
Mr.. Myers explained, "is to plan for
continuance of the campaign which
the Santa Fe has been carrying on
for cooperation between the COM
pany and those of its patrons who
ship freight, in an effort to eliminate
the causes of loss and damage IN
freight transportation. The situation
has improved materially since the
company started It's general move
ment six years ago, the amount paid
annually into the loss and damage
fund having been reduced from per
cent of the company's earnings to a
| fraction over / per cent. While our
showing is good we hope for still tur-
ther improvements, and believe we
will have it. Shippers are giving us
earnest support by using better con
tainers and exercising more care In
slowing freight in the cars, and we
are doing our part by better inspec
ton and a more careful handling OF
freight in transit"
The Santa Fe has a school of in
struction in progress the year around
for the purpose of increasing the ef
ficiency of it's freight service. The
pupils are station agents, depot EN-
ployes, trainmen and others having tC
do with the transportation of freight
The teachers are experts, known as
transportation inspectors, who ac
under the instruction of the genera
superintendents, The inspectors are
trained in all the arts and sciences
which spell safety for freight handl
ing. In addition to coaching thet
brethren of the Santa Fe, they alsC
give information to shippers, whel
asked to do so. The local Santa F,
agent, through this school, is kept ad
vised about modern methods of han
ding shipments, and requests for in
formation made to him by patrons ar
granted promptly. If the agent is no
familiar with the problem submittet
l to him he passes it on to transpoI
tation inspector who will furnish th'
information desired. The delegates
at the Pubelo conference will plan TO
an extension of this work.

that right to any foreign authority
such as a federal judge or United

LEVY FOR STATE
PURPOSES Il
MILLS
AUDITOR, AFTER A
LONG DELAY, RETURNS coUN-
TY ASSESSMENT ROLLS

Santa Fe, Sept. ga reduction OF
81 mills in the state tax levy was
announced by State Auditor w. G..
Sargent this forenoon. The total
levy will be 11.6 mills.
The statute directs the state aud
itor to certify the levy to the different
counties. The travelling auditor on
Monday will mail these boards print
ed copies of the changes ordered in
the assessment returns and is today
sending back the assessment books
so that every board can make its
levy at it's October meeting.
Auditor Sargent divides the levy
as follows:
Three mills for state purposes,
which includes salaries.
One mill for good roads.
Four and half mills for state in
stitutions, which is one mill reduction
from last year. The levy this year
produced a surplus which is available
for next years needs. However, 1t
will take close collection of taxes to
guarantee all the institutions their
total appropriation.
Four tenths of a mill for the char
table institutions, a reduction of .Ol
mill,
Half a mill for the current school
fund. xl1 ~
Two mills for interest on the bond
ed Indebtedness, which is a reduction
of one mill.
One-fifth of mill for sinking funds
and interest, divided into four equal
portions for penitentiar' building
general refunding, capitol rebuilding
first and second series, respectively
In addition the auditor is required
to certify to the three mill county
levies for the common schools, levy
of eight mills on sheepmen for the
sheep sanitary board, and the levie'
on cattle sanitary board for cattle in
demnity, cattle disease eradication
and cattle sanitary FUNDS.
AS finally determined by the boart
of equalization the taxable assessmen
of the state is $S9,2O3,99 as agains
$91, ,745,709 last year. The total gros
valuation is 67611.S1S this year.
Taking the taxable valuation a
800, 100000 in round numbers the lev.
should yield theoretically $27O,O00 fo
state purposes, 100000 for good roads
S405,00 for state purposes, $4,000
for charitable institutions, 5000 TO
current school fund, $1S0,000 for in
terest and sinking funds, $4,000 70
special sinking funds and interest
$270,000 for county school funds. How
ever the collections fall far short o
this because the counties that hav
the lowest and poorest assessmen
also make the poorest showing as t
the per cent of taxes collected.
