The assessed valuation Of property
in Valley County amounts to $3,T1f
1886 according to the assessment list
for the year 1915, just completed by
County Assessor Barton H. Cottrell.
This is exclusive of the railroads
which last year were assessed at 81
GAG, ,399, and if there is no change this
year, it will mean the total assessed
valuation of property in this county
will be $5,418,235.
The assessed valuation in 1914, af-
ter the Board Of Equalization had
made it's changes on the rolls, was 81
756,446. In February of this year the
Phillips County election was held and
a large piece of Valley County was
cut off.
That part of Valley county which
was cut off to form part of the
new county of Phillips, was valued by
the Board of Appraisers, who met in
March at 81, 1872 ,290, and was supposed
to leave in Valley county a valuation
of $5,O24,156. The total valuation as
compiled by the assessor totals So

ELECTRIC ROAD UP NORTH

Having decided that there is no hope
of railroad building into this section
in time to handle the immense crop
of grain that will be marketed this
winter, says the Opheim Optimist, the
farmers and business men of the north
country are discussing the proposition
of building an electric line from Op-
helm and Glentana to Nashua, via
Baylor to connect with the Great Nor
thern.
It is estimated that there are at
least 10000 acres in crop in the coun-
try tributary to Opheim, and with
bumper yield now assured, there will
be million bushels of grain to haul
out to the railroad The proposition
of solving this marketing problem by
means of an electric line to connect
with the Great Northern was first pro-
posed at meeting of the Equity So
ciety at Glentana last week. The
plan met with instant favor and has
been widely discussed since then, with
the result that meeting of the farm
ers and business men of the North
Country has been called for next Sat-
urday at the Opheim Hall to discuss
ways and means.
The expense of building so miles of
electric line would be much less than
for steam road. The right of way
would cost the company nothing, as
the farmers along the way will gladly
donate sufficient land for that purpose
to such a line, and the expense of
grading will be only small fraction
of that required for steam line. The
proposed route from Opheim to Nash
ua follows a water grade the whole
distance

TWO PRIMARIES
NEXT YEAR
Choose Presidential Candidates
at Separate Election.
FIRST PRIMARY IN APRIL
Two Laws on Statute Books Fix Diff.
ferent Dates for Nomination
Conventions.

Montana must hold and bear the
expense Of two primary nominating
conventions next year, according to
ruling by Attorney General J. B.
Poindexter today. The reason two
such elections must be held is because
the voters put on the statute books
one law providing that a primary
nominating election for state and
county officers, United States senat-
ors and members of congress must
be held on the 10th day preceding the
general election, and another provid-
ing that the primary nominating elec-
tion for candidates for president, vice
president, delegates to the presiden-
tial convention and of presidential
electors must be held on the 45th day
before the first Monday in June.
The Reasons Why.
Secretary of State A. M. Anderson
raised the question and asked for a
ruling. The attorney general says:
"Inasmuch as the primary law re-
lating to state and county officers
fixes the date of that election, and
the presidential primary did not, or
could not amend that law, it necess-
arily follows that the date fixed in
the first of these primary laws for the
nomination of state and county Off
GERS must govern as to these officers,
and that the time for holding the pri-
| mary nominating elections, named in
the presidential primary law, has ref
erence only to the nomination of can
didates for the Offices named in that
act. It may also be observed that by
the provisions of Section %, Article V.
of the state constitution, the subject
Of all bills shall be clearly expressed
in the title, and if any subject shall
be embraced in any act not expressed
in the title, the act as to such subject
shall be void. The title to the presl-
Dental primary law does not make
, any reference, directly or indirectly,
except 20 candidates for president,
vice president, delegates t.. rresiden-
tial convention MS and pre- ;idential cleo
tors.
| Not Broad Enough
"There is nothing in this title that
would apprise any voter If the fact
that he was voting for a measure
which woui in afy manner amend or

latng to candidates for state and

Donisio Uliana, 19, was drowned in the Ellis No. 1 mill pond at Mon- son Sunday, the 18th, while dozen of his friends stood on shore and laughed at his helpless thrashing, thinking he was trying to fool them. He climbed out on raft at spot near the headgate where the water is about 5 feet deep and dived in. He came up strugglingly wildly and yelled for help. Then he sank and was never seen alive again. After a couple of minutes his companions grew excited and began diving. One small boy touched the body, but was not strong enough to bring it to the surface. Strong swimmers were called and dived consistently for the body for long time without touching it. Then George Ellis of the firm of A. U. Ellls & Sons, owners of the mills, raised the headgate and started to drain the pond. Before the water had dropped a foot, Fred Guyette located the body on the bottom and it was raised with grappling hooks from boat at 5 o'clock, two hours after Uliana disappeared. Drs Mo- IQuade and Jackson's efforts at resuscitation failed. Uliana was the second to dro VII within two years in the deep waters beside the headgate. Uliana lived with his brother Tony, in the south block on the lower Ig1een and was employed by A. D. Ellis 6 Sons in their No. 3 mill He leaves besides his brother, his father, John Uliana, of Main street, and his mother in Italy.

POISONOUS SNAKES.
They Are Absolutely Proof Against
 Their Own or Other Venom.

They Are Absolutely Proof Against
 Their Own or Other Venom.
 Snake venom Is a transparent fluid, yellowish in color and of about the consistency of human saliva. When dried it takes the form of fiaky yellow crystals. In this shape or dissolved in alcohol or glycerin it will remain un- altered and will preserve its poisonous properties for an indefinite period. No satisfactory chemical analysis has ever been made of 1t, but 1t seems to be a very complex albuminous compound A curious discovery recently made is that the blood of venomous serpents Is itself poisonous, containing as 1t does the principles that are concentrated in the secretion of the venom glands.
 Venomous snakes are themselves ab- solutely venom proof. Rattlesnakes dosed by injection with large quanti- ties of their own or other venom have shown not the slightest i'll effects. An other remarkable fact Is that serpent venom is harmless to human beings or other animals If taken internally. The late Dr. s. Weir Mitchell found that one-fourth of a drop of rattlesnake poison would kill a pigeon # given by hypodermic injection, but a pigeon fed with six drops day for three success sive days suffered not at all in conse- quence.
 Professor Mangili, pioneer investi- gator in this line, had an assistant who boldly swallowed all the venom that could be extracted from four large vipers. No bad effects followed. The same negative result was noted by Professor Baird, at that time secretary of the Smithsonian institution, who ate the venom glands of rattlesnake. As recently ascertained, serpent venom in such circumstances is harmless, be- cause it cannot pass through the mu- cous membrane that lines the stomach, and 1t undergoes changes during di- gestion that allow 1t to enter the blood as an innocuous substance. - Every Week.

RAILROADS IN ARGENTINA.

Run Under Rules Framed by a Strict Government Commission. Argentina has a commission which full than the interstate commerce con- mission. The direction general de ferrocarriles, as 1t is named, prescribes the number of trains to be run and in- sists on the number of coaches. Ev- cry night train must carry a certain number of sleeping cars, and dining cars, or restaurant cars, as they are known in Argentina, are obligatory on runs of certain distance. Every train is obliged to carry letter box, and re- gently the railroads have been squeez- ed into carrying the mails for nothing.
 A medicine chest, stretcher and bdcycle-this last to establish quick communication with the nearest sta ton in case of an accident-are com pulsory on every passenger train.
 Every passenger coach is disinfected each month, and the precautions for preserving the cleanliness of sleeping cars are probably the most thorough in the world.
 No time table can be altered with out the sanction of the director gen. eral and at least two months in ad- vance of their taking effect.

Tan, Red or Freckled
Skin Is Easily Shed

To free your summer soiled skin of its
muddiness, freckles, blotches or tan, the
best thing to do is to free yourself of the
skin itself. This is easily accomplished by
the use of ordinary mercolized wax which
can be had at any drugstore. Use at night
as you use cold cream. washing it off in
the morning. Immediately the offending
surface skin begins to come off in fine pow
der-like particles. Gradually the entire
euticle is absorbed, without pain incon-
venience- The second layer of skin now
IN evidence presents spotless wilderness
and sparkling beauty obtainable in no
other way I've ever heard of.
If the heat tends to loosen and wrinkle
your skin. there's an effective and harm
less remedy you can Seadily make at
home. just let an ounce of powdered sax
olite dissolve in a half pint witch hazel and
battle your face i'm the liquid. This at
once tightens the skin and smooths out the
lines. making you look years Younger
