MEN OF DGUGL KS MAKE
 NEW TAX LEVY
Dog Catcher Is Busy as Forty New Licenses
 Issued During the
 Past Two Weeks.

DOUGLAS. Aug. %. - The city council last night tixed the tax levy for 19i6-17 at per cent, While to those not familiar with the system of assessment. this may seem high the fact that the property of Doug las is not assessed at to exceed sixty per cent. of It's valuation, mak- ing the real levy less than lA per cent. The total valuation Of the property assessed is S57l,9S3,OO as appearing on the assessors books, but in reality the actual valuation is 'between nine hundred thousand and one million. Upward of $7OOO has been spent in public improve ments in the city during the past four months and the sum Of $5,5OO was reported last night as remaining in the treasury.
 As evidence Of what an honest industrious. massuming, non-skiding dog catcher can do in two weeks, forty new licenses were reported as having been taken out, making sixty in alf and the remains Of eight dogs went out with the tides in the same period. The dog catch CT was given an honorable discharge his faithful and assidous attention to business having worked him out Of job.
 DelnQuent taxes amounting to sl5O were reported and as most of that amount is collectible, it was decided to instruct City Attorney Folsom Co take steps to collect.
 Bills were ordered paid amounting Co S75I37.

OLD TIMER IS
 REALLY GOING
 TO QUIT STORE
Pioneer Business Man Is Selling out Goods and Intends Going to
 the States.

Many of the "Old Timers will learn with regret that the familiar face of William Stubbins, pioneer business man of this community will soon be but a memory to those who have been intimately associat- ed with him during all these years. It is a fact. he advises an Empire reportcr. that he is actually selling out his stock Of goods with the in tention of quitting business; and it is quite likely that he will leave the community.
 After his stock is closed out, Mr.. Stubbins and his wife contemplate visiting the states. where they may locate. The sale is progressing rap idly. and 1t is thought that the stock will be all sold in about two weeks.
 An unusual feature about this sale is the fact that 1t has been conduct ed. from first to last, under the usual Stubbins policy of fairness, Money Back" to dissatisfied GUS toners. F. T. Daley. manager of the sale, states that the number of articles returned have been compar- atively few, less. in fact, than there was during normal business.
 In discussing the question of clos ing out the stock Mir. Daley said: 'I came North with the express pur- pose of dispcsing of the stock, and | intend to do so before leaving. or course, do not expect to sell it down to the last article at retail, but shall run it down to a small margin. then sell the entire remain- der of the stock to some one in a lump"
 Mir. Daley expresses himself as being highly pleased with the re- suits of his trip to the Northland, and with the treatment accorded to him by the people Of this country during his stay.

Wilson Is ReaSSured by
SCOTS Report on Mexico
fBy Associated Press. J

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Genuine re-
lief over the Mexican situation was evil
dent in administration circles today.
The principal cause was the assurance
conveyed to President Wilson and his
cabinet yesterday through Secretary
Baker that the Carranga government
now is convinced the United States has
no intention of intervening in Mexican
politics, and that consequently resent
ment against the punitive expedition is
rapidly decreasing.
General Scott, chief of staff of the
army, brought this word to Secretary
Baker from his conference at FL Paso
with General Obregon, war minister for
the Carranza government. Among the
promises made by General Obregon with
the approval of General Carranza at the
conclusion of the conference were these:
Ten thousand selected Mexican troops
were to patrol the territory about Par
raj, the southermost locality from which
American troops are being withdrawn,
and to search diligently for Villa or his
bandits.
A strong Mexican force was to try to
capture the Glenn Springs and Boquil-
las raiders in the Big Bend district, and
to liberate Deemer. the American store
keeper carried off by the bandits.
No Mexican troops were to be moved
from Sonora state through Pulpit Pass
TO the rear of General Pershing's COL
umn.
General Scott's part of the informal
pact did not include any promises of
