Wyoming is one Of the few states in
which the financial problem is not
acute. The state budget is less than
sl,5OO000 there is q cash balance in the
treasury of more than 100000, and oil
and mining development, royalties on
state lands and leases and fees yield
a revenue of more than 100000. The
citizens Of the state have high hopes
that a direct state tax will soon be UNI
necessary.

rm OPPOSED TO A HlGlI AS.
SE>SMENr for several reasons.
Fint, because Randolph county is
already paving oh higher assess
ment than the average counties in
the state.
Second. there is plenty Of both
real aud personal property all over
the county, assessed for more than
it can he sold for, caused by former
assessors trying to cqualize the as
sessmeUt on high basis.
Third, we are all IN favor Of an
equal assessment, bat we can't equal.
ize our assessment on u high basis,
because the best farmers aud bu,i.
ness men and largest tax payers Of
our county, knowing that our cOun
ty Is assessed too high, 90 before
the board and the Judge aud get
their assessment reduced, leaving
the balance u pay on high as
sessment.
l don't believe in condemuing
anything without trying to offer
something better.
Therefore, If I'm your choice for
assessor, III take some lists
which some OF our best and largest
tax payers are willing to make and
qualify to. ~ the basis for the as.
sessmenIs of the entire county there.

words we can reduce a II assessments

PIONEER TAKES HIS
LIFE; CUTS HIS THROAT

JUNEAU.-John GodeII, former
deputy marshal at Sitka, and a pion-
c,r OF ALASKA, last Friday afternoon
at . o'clock entered one Of the bath
rooms at the Pioneers Home and
committed suicide by cutting his
throat with razor. The news of the
suicide was brought to Juneau yes
tcrday on the Al-N from Sitka and
quickly spread over the city, where
Judge Godell is well known.
Judge Godel has been an inmate of
the Pioneers Home since last May
and it is thought his physical condi-
.ion as we'll as financial troubles un-
settled his mind temporarily He
was suffering from heart trouble,
Brights disease, goitre and other COM
pIicated diseases. He realized that
his diseases were incurabe and that
me had not long to live.
Before cutting his throat Judge
GodcI arranged all Of his business
affairs even to the smallest details.
He is survived by a son, Lawrence
Godcr, about 1G years of age, and
also by sister in Oregon. He was a
lawyer by profession, a former deputy
collector of customs stationed at Orca,
a former deputy marshal at Sitka, and
a general pioneer of Alaska.
Judge Godell seemed in good spirits
at all times and no intimation of his
intent was made to anyone. At 5
o'clock he entered the bath room and
stretched out in the bath tub. He
slashed his left wrist with a razor,
but not satisfied with that, he then
cut his throat from ear to ear.
The remains were found by one of
the other inmates of the home a few
minutes after the deed. A coroners
jury was empaneed by Commissioner
DeAmond which returned a verdict
Of death by his own hand" The
funeral services were held in Sitka.-
Empire.

JANUS WORKING NOW
ON K. K. InIS WAY
About Fifty Miles Of Track Laid To-
--~- ~,
wards Matanuska COalGelds.

Forces of men are now working out
from Anchorage this way on the gov
ernment railroad about eight on ten
miles and more men are being sen,
out in this direction as fast as pos
sible, according to Chairman W. c..
Edes of the Engineering Commission
who returned today from a trip to
Anchorage on the Farragut While
over there Mr.. Edes went nearly to
Kings river on the Matanuska branch
and nearly to TaIkeetna on the main
branch. He would have proceeded
further but the car broke down.
About fifty miles of track have been
laid out to Moose creek which is on
the Matanuska branch but the dis
tance covered from the Junction on
the main branch is still inconsider-
able.
There will be no coal bunkers built
this year, Mr.. Edes says. He knows
nothing about how the coal lands are
being leasesd and he seems to init
mate that the Commission will wait
to learn first how the coal mining will
developc here before plans are made
for bunkels, etc. The railroad will,
however, be built Immediately up into
the coal fields and will be in the heart
of them about the middle of October
if not before. There is no chance to
join the Alaska Northern to Mata-
nuska this year as some very heavy
work must be done between the end
Of the line and the new city. Mr.
Edes is now busy studying conditions
here and will soon be able, probably,
to give more definite outline Of the
contemplated plans in this division.
