EIJFAULA

Eufaula. December 13.-(Special.)
AS has been the custom for several
years past, Eufaula will have COM
munity Christmas tree this year as

The work of the Christ Child circle

organize charity work in the town.
Both of these organizations will dis

exceptional demand and the consequent
high prices that are being paid for
both the Seeding and the fancy va
rieties.

TEXAS WEALTH TOTALS OVER
SIX BILLIONS; MONEY HIDDEN

Austin. Texas, Dec. 6-In total value
Of assessed property Tor taxation,
Texas lacks less than 3 million dollars
Of being a billion COLLAR state. In view
OF the fact that il is the usual prac-
tice TO render property for taxation
purposes at less than 5ue-half OF its
actual value. II is estimated that the
real wealth Of the state is in excess
Of six billion dollars.
According 10 reports Just made 20
the state controllers department by
the different counties the total value
Of property in the state rendered this
year for taxation was SZ.44s. 143-lS9,
which is an increase Of S21.973.396 over
last year.
According to the statistics received
by the state controllers department
the number Of cattle in Texas in 1916
was 6.l49.23Z. which is an increase Of
1,042.S01 over the preceding year. The
total value Of these live stock Is S97,-
67G.277.
Notwithstanding the activity through
the year OF the buyers OF horses and
mules for foreign war purposes. the
figures show that there are oy,5sl
more horses and mules in Texas at this
time than there We're a year ago, their
total number being 1-S22.l2o and their
value S79,219,S02-
The number OF sheep in the state is
1,685,26e with valuation OF S5,So2.-
440. The increase since last yesr was
An Increase OF 72.71s was made in
the number Of goats since last year.
the present number being 1,293,3ll,
which have a valuation Of $685.
The number Of hogs increased 60
7S7 head, being this year 999,3S5 head
Of these animals in the state and they
have q valuation Of S3.2S0.s37.
One of the striking evidences OF the
fact that a vast amount OF money es-
capes taxation IS shown by the state
ment Of the state controllers depart
ment. v hich gives the amount OF money
on hand or on deposit IN the banks Of
the state Of TEXAS as S1S,OS1,9O5- II
is well known that this Is q very small
part of the total amount OF deposits
which the banks carry. IN some of the
large cities, such as Dallas, Houston
and san Antonio. the total deposits OF
the banks there exceeds the aggregate
amount rendered for taxation in the
whole state.

JAPAN FURNISHING

ONE SHIPMENT RECEIVED CON SISTED OF FIELD GUNS AND

Fl Paso, Texas. Dec 29,--The Car ranza government has lately trans mitted the sum of million pesos gold to Japan in payment for war mu- nitions, it was learned here tonight from a well informed source. One ship ment of munitions has already been received, according to this source. and the second is due. It is said to consist of artillery shells and field guns, in cluding anti-aircraft cannon.
 The same authority claims to have information that the new cartridge factories established by the Carranza government with a capacity of 75,000 cartridges a day each are equipped with the latest type Of American ma chinery shipped and sold to a firm in Spain and then reshipped 10 Mexico by way of Vera Cruz
 When the rebel leader Zapata oc- cupied Mexico City he is known to have sent away the machinery from the old cartridge factory there to the south for his own use This machinery was out of date.
 The Mexican newspapers at the time the new factories were established gave much space to describing their equipment, which. they said, was of the newest pattern.
