WARTIME TROOP
ship HITS ROCKS
ON WEST COAST

Los Angeles, May 31.-The fast
coastwise ship Harvard struck a
shoal off Point Arguello while
cropping it's way through heavy
fog early today and its 497 passen-
gers were forced to take to the
lifeboats.
The calmness of the sea pre-
vented a possible major tragedy,
mariners said, for the Harvard
might have gone to pieces in high
sea and the life boats might have
been dashed against the dangerous
rock-lined shore.
The ship left San Francisco Late
yesterday with record load of va.
cationists.
The passengers and most of the
crew were asleep about 1886 a. m
when the ship grated across thu
submerged rocks and then strucl
about 1000 yards off shore. Dis
tress signals were Immediately sen
out and when dawn came and tn,
water flooded the engine room al
passengers were ordered to tn
boats.
Answers came Immediately t
the sos calls and soon the cruise
Louisville and several small cOas
guard boats were alongside. TIL
Louisville started picking up pas
sengers from the lifeboats abou
eight o'clock and about IL ar
nounced all were safe and that sh
was proceeding to San Pedro.
The point is in an Inaccessible
spot in Santa Barbara county a
most half way between Los Ang'
les and San Francisco. It is but
few miles from Honda point whel
seven United States destroyel
,, went aground in September 49,
causing % deaths and the tot
loss of the ships.
The Harvard was built In 19O
2 for Atlantic coast-wise trade al
has a length of 5f4 feet, beam
80 feet and a speed of % knot

SHERIDAN COUNTY
TAX TALK

The work of the Taxpayers As.
ISOLATION leads into many different
channel and MANY puzzling prob,
lens. The subject of Land Valua-
ton for assessment purposes is one
on which we are now working. On
a fair and equitable basis hinges
the proper setting of tax lcvies.
Apparently there are several re-
adjustments in our present system
that could be more and in time
have some effect ON our 100 heavy
taxes.
While the re-classifylng of all
our farm lands would seem to be
impracticable and expensive at the
present time there is some hope
for a partial solution by the use of
the maps of the U. S. Soil Survey
which under recent order are also
to make a Typographical survey
in connection thereby furnishing
fairly complete data on which re-
classification could be made with.
out extra field inspection. In
North Dakota this data is to be
used in making their assessment:
more uniform, they have not thu
classification law that we have.
Figures at hand show that Sheri
dan county has 10000 acres of un
patented land and $4,000 acres tax
