Assessor Bone contended that his original val nations were correct. The conference then heard the selling price and as sessed valuation of irrigated lands sold in Maricopa compared, which showed that very few of Bones val nations were equal to the selling price.
 The discussion of Maricopa's taxa tion came up when irrigated lands oi other counties were being compared in value to those under the great Roosevelt dam irrigation project. In openings its session, the conference

Then the fight as on for the mining counties delegates said that the rich Salt River valley country was allowing the mineral counties to pay all taxes.

Louisville Man Says Some
 Protection Can be had from
 Electric Storms When Pro- per Precautions are Taken

Some interesting and timely facts as to what to do and where to go when lightning flashes occur were giv- en out in Louiseville. by the of fee of the United States weather bureau. The recent electric storms of the Warren District are a source of continual danger and the advice will be interesting if not wholly ap- preciable.
 According to Forecaster Walz, If one is in the open the best thing to do is to lie fiat on the ground until the lightning has stopped, as the human figure standing erect offers an excellent attraction point U the dan ger. It should also be borne in mind that the worst lightning bolts gener- ally come down during and near the first sheets of rain, another weather bureau official pointed out

 "No shell fire could be worse than the way the teachers pictured 1t to us" said one of the new army men. We were expecting it all-machine guns. bombs, snipers. big shells and little shells-and so we were not sur prised."
 The commander of one division said of the men they were good and fought well when they attacked on July IA, they would not be put perma nently on the reserve, but would have another chance in the offensive.

Chinese custom announcing the cap ture and decease of a pirate. A per iod of great rejoicing ensued in the territory previously harrassed by the Wolf and his bands, and nothing fur ther was ever seen or heard of hIih until the advent of his sudden rein carnation the other night.
 Parker's connection with the outlaw was the result >of the detention Of a party of sailors under his command, by the Wolf, in 1910, while on a res cue expedition up the YangtZee river to the aid of a number of American missionaries who were reported in dis tress.
 Mystery UnsolVed
 The Wolf held the party for sev- eral days, each day threatening them with terrible tortures and death, and then, evidently fearing the power of the great United States government, allowed them to proceed on their way, where they found the mission aries still alive and safe.
 The Wolf" while in control of the province he terrorized, was considered a great political factor and was only eliminated by the sudden and unex- pected descent made upon him, eaten ing him while totally unprepared.
 What ne is doing here in Phoenix, if indeed it is the Wolf is a mat ter for the greatest conjecture, al- though in all probability this is at present the safest place possible for the deposed pirate as there are on the coast too many enemies who would immediately recognize him were he to haunt the Chinatowns of the coast cities.
 Here in this inland paradise he may be seeking to end his days in com parative ease and comfort, far away from the strife and danger of the scenes of his bloody deeds and among his revengeful victims.
 Again he may be plotting to seize again the power which once was his With the troubled condition of affairs over the entire world at present the moment might seem propituous for a fresh descent upon the scenes of his former triumphs.
