by Tars Tarkas himself, rode in upon
their mighty thoats. led them TO
the palace walls. which l negotiated
easily without assistance. Once in
side, however, the gate gave me con-
siderable trouble. but I finally was re-
warded by seeing 1t swing upon its
huge hinges. and soon my fierce es-
cort was riding across the gardens of
the jeddak of Zodanga.
AS we approached the palace l could
see through the great windows of the
first floor into the brilliantly iilGminat-
ed audience chamber of Than Kosis.
The immense hall was crowded with
mobiles and their women, as though some
Important function was in progress. At
one end of the chamber. upon massive
golden thrones encrusted with dia-
monds. sat Than Yosls and his con

Value of Utilities Drops s1s1,7so.

Denver.-Colorado public utilities,
telephone and telegraph companies,
railroads and private street car lines
will pay taxes on S191.790 less than in
1920. This fact is revealed in the an
nual assessment roll made public by
the State Tax Commission here.
The 1920 valuation fixed by the
commission totalled S227. .454, 100. while
the 1921 valuation Is S227, ,262, 400. The
decrease is occasioned by the low
earnings of the railroads and various
public utilities.
Low earning capacity of the Mis-
souri, Pacific resulted in decrease of
S230,OO0 in its assessment, while ap-
proximately 100000 was taken off the
Rio Grande Southern The valuation
the largest in the state, was left at
S41,SSS,S0 The second largest as
sessment is against the Colorado &
Southern. which was left unchanged
at S23,9Sl, ,720. No changes were made
in the Santa Fe, Burlington or Union
Pacific railroads.
Among the railroads 100000 was
for this was said to be the fact that
certain property was assessed last
year upon which the railroad was not
compelled to pay taxes.
An increase of $4,000 was made in
the assessment of the American Rail
way Express Company and private car
lines were increased $4,000. The
Pullman Company will pay taxes on
S1,101, 900, the same as in 1920
The holdings of the Denver Tram
way Company have decreased a total
of S4o6,940 since 1920, while the prop
erty value of the Denver Gas and
Electric Light Company has increased
since the last valuation exactly S1,1S3,-
$50. A decrease also was made in the.
valuation OF the Colorado Power Com
pany, The 1921 valuation is placed at
s5,602, 400, compared with $5,96S $50 in
1920.
