the $4,000 county hospital between
Aberdeen and Hoquiam Rev. Charles

doctors services. At the hospital
building there is no ground except.

there is plenty Of ground to grow q
goodly share of the food needed, there
are no decent buildings. Something
must be done at one place or the
other.

TAX Rate IN TEXAS
MAKES HIGH RECORD
Property Owners VIII Pay Total OF

Texas will pay the largest tax rate for
1856 that has ever been fixed in
this state. An sd valorem tax OF 29c
is predicted, which, with a school tax
Of zoe and constitutional tax Of &c,
levied for the purpose Of penBionlng
the Confederate veterans, will bring
the total tax rate assessed for all pur'
poses up to Sac
From 1871 to 1880 there was levied
for all purposes, on q basis OF taxable
valuations that was about One-tenth
of what It Is today, a tax Of SOC per
hundred dollars valuation. Then, with
the provision for q special tax for
school purposes. the I'D Valorem rate
dropped steadily with few exceptions
until it even reached &c in 1910.
Three years later 1t touched what
was then believed a high water mark.
when 23c for sd valorem purposes was
assessed. Statesmen IN revising and
revamping the constitution OF the
state of Texas placed constitutional
limit at Csc. For 1876 the ad va.
loren assessment falls but &c below
this mark.
There are many items 70 be constd.

tons Of the thirty-fourth legislature
were generous for educational pur.
poses.

been losing proposition. From the
Golfers of the state there has been q
steady flow OF money to stave the

a result one measure carried $465.0OO

Record Grain Crop for Texas,

Dallas, Tex-vThis years Texas
grain crop, just commencing to move,
Is generally estimated as almost Ger.
tain to surpass in yield and in prob.
able total money returns any grain
crop ever before produced in the
state. The estimate of the probable
Texas wheat crop, as made by Dallas
bankers and grain and mill men. rune
from 20,O0O,00O to $4,000 900 bushels
The oats yield, some estimate, will go
from 6O,OO0,000 to 100000 bushels
Estimates of the price vary consfd.
erably, but even if the prices go to
some OF the lowest estimates it is
