Farragut stands on a flat base in an

How Much are
You Worth :?

Deputy Assessor C. A. Lehman
is covering this end Of the county,
trying to find out how much prop
erty we have. There is a percepti-
BILE shrinkage in the value of our
personal effects just as soon as we
realize who he is, and his mission.
Things to which we attached con-
siderable value an hour before sud-
denly become sort of worthless and
really, you know, we would almost
give them away if we had half a
chance. But he does not argue
with US, just looks us in the eye as
he asks the value of each item.
Our voice is a little uncertain at
first, but before he gets to the end
of the list we have gained consid-
cradle confidence and sing out the
new values as tho ugh we had been
acquainted with them for a long
time. The finish is a little difficult,
as he asks us to sign the statement
under oath. But after swallowing
hard couple of times, most of us
are able to make it all right.

if it is lost he will find it. But
this was no ordinary bottle, or
at least the contents was entirely
different from that ordinarily
found in bottles, for this one con-
tanned a letter. The letter proved
to have been written by parties in
Everson, Whatcom county, and said
the writer was looking for alfalfa

The beautiful home of Judge
Hanford, located on his ranch just
north of the town of Hanford, was
entirely destroyed by fire Thursday
night. The house was unoccupied,
the T. ID. Kelly family having
moved out about three months ago.
Clarence Berg had leased the ranch
and was preparing to move into
the house. The house cost between
$4,000 and $4,000 and was insured
for $4,000. By those who first dis
covered the fire it is believed that
it was caused by defective wiring
The little furniture that was in the
house was saved. A greater part of
the structure was of concrete and
owing to this fact the fire burned
for long time. 1t is said that
any kind of fire fighting appara-
tus-even a Pyrene-w would have
saved the building.

this week, in company with their
travelling salesman, A. P. Ewing,
going over the proposition of max
ing White Bluffs a distributing
point, and to pick site for their
tank station. They favored the
location just south of the Trigg ice
house. The location Of the tanks
here will be of considerable con-
venience to those using oil for pow.

being a great deal cheaper.
