COUNTY DUE
TO BOOST TAX
TO REPAY R.R.
Treasurer Analyses Decision
on Tax Squable; Roads
Have Overpaid; Need Five
Mill Levy

On top of all the noise we've
been hearing lately about high
taxes and so on, there is strong
likelihood that an additional five
mill levy will have to be made on
all county property, unless some
changes can be made in the judg-
ment rendered in Judge Webster's
court last month in the tax cases
against the railroads, according to
County Treasurer Harry Forsyth.
Mr.. Forsyth has submitted the
Following statement OF what the
ruling means to Benton county.
The decision as rendered, in so
far as Benton County and the
railways therein are concerned,
for the following earswhich
are the only years involved in this
case-is as follows: On the N. p.
for 1925, a 1881 percent reduc-
ton; for 1926, a 24.6540 percent
reduction; for 1927, 100000 per-
cent reduction.
On the S. P. & S., for 1926, a
24.654O reduction; and 1927, a
SO.80O4 percent reduction. The
later years were not included IN
this case, but will be tried some
time in the future unless the tax
commission, counties and railroads
get together and apply Judge
Webster's formula to the balance
of the years involved.
Based on the above rulings
Benton county will owe refund
for 1925 and 1926 to the N. P. of
1926, $50, which the road overpaid.
To the S. p. & S, the refund is
even larger, 23,535 for 1925 and
$7,535 for 1926, making q total re-
fund due these two roads of bet
Ter than 100000. To offset these,
che Milwaukee has underpaid IN
Che amount of $3988.
This makes rather q dark pic
&ure for Benton county, MI. For
syth continues, as it would neces-
state a five-mill levy on all the
property in the county, which
would raise between $4,000 and
100000, the amount necessary to
make up this refund. But It the
percentages were followed up to
and including the year 1881, dur
ing the period the railroads have
still further underpaid, Benton
county would come out of tn e
wreck thousands of dollars to the
xood. l believe it would be to the
Interests of all concerned, he said,
80 have it settled once and for all.
The state, counties and taxing dis
Ericts would know where they
stood in regard to the railroad
taxes. AS it has been for years,
none of them knew and were levy
ing on value that evidently did
mt exist. .f.j

Local Lawyers Back
HOlc0unb for Judge

Judge o. r. Holcomb has filed
for reelection to the position now
held by him on the state Supreme
Bench.
Judge Holcomb, during his Ju-
dicial service of six years as Su-
perior Judge and Is years on the
Supreme Bench, has proven his
ability and fitness for the position.
He is generally regarded as one of
the ablest judges of the appellate
court.
As stated by members of the
King County Bar, 'the is patient,
deliberate, impartial and sympa-
thetic and his Interpretation of
the law sound and progressive"
Faithfulness to every trust has
been his motto.
Judge Holcomb is now in the
prime of his usefulness and his OPP
Unions are regarded by lawyers OF
this and other states as outstand-
ing examples of judicial clarity and
Justice. 1t would be a mistake to
lose the benefit Of his experience
and sound judgment by any other
selection.
From our experience in the trial
cases before the Supreme Court
we are convinced that the inter-
ests Of the people of this state can
safely be entrusted to Judge Hol-
comb and we hope his services in
that position will continue for
many years.-G. w. Hamilton,

The Hover Mercantile owned
and managedt bytV. 1. Tucker was
burned to the ground with loss
of building and contents Sunday
morning. The,cfire was discover
ed abount two o'clock and was too
far advanced to save anything.
This being the only store in town,
Mr.. Tucker was in Kennewick on
Monday morning making arrange
ments for stock to be sent him at

he could secure in Kennewick and
opened the post office and small
supply of stock on the porch of his
dwelling house, which is 25 feet
from the store building, and was
ready for business Tuesday morn
ing. The Tucker residence was so
near the store building that only
prompt action on the part of the
fneighbors saved the dwelling with
only scorched paint and heated
shingles. Some insurance was car
ried on the store and contents and
Mr.. Tucker stated he would re-
build at once. Work was begun
this week of removing the debris
preparatory to rebuilding.

Play Ball With
PascO Sunday

The ball team took a trimming
at Walla Walla last Sunday when
they tackled the Bears. The score
was 1912. Roger Records was not
on the mound, he having taken on
a job at Yakima for. the day.
Young Simmelink, Kennewick's
kid catcher, who now ranks among
the best of backstops, except for
experience, got busted finger out
of the game. The accident took
nail off completely.
Next Sunday the local boys will
drop back into their own class of
ball. They will play Pasco on the
Pasco field, and Roger Records
will again be missing from the
lineup. However, the locals figure
they can clean up on the Pasco
gang at that.

OLD TIGERS, UNABLE TO
HINT TIIRN MAN.EATERS

In one year, more than 1900
people were killed by tigers in Brit
ish India, and the average annual
mortality from this cause has not
been much below this figure. In
most casts the tigers responsible
for these deaths are man-eaters,
it being an established fact that
it is an unusual thing for an ord
mary tiger, no matter how fero-
cious a specimen, to attack a man.
Old age, strangely enough, is re-
sponsible for the development of
the man-eating instinct. A tiger
that is getting on in years is fac
ed by serious problem. His teeth
are bad, a thousand fights have
left him battered and bruised, ne
is worn out. He no longer has the
strength nor the agility to keep
his stomach filled thru the nor
NAL process Of killing game in the
jungle. He has to keep alive. Any
thing will do, even a man. A tiger,
crazed by this desire, will enter a
village at night, drag a native out
of bed, carry him off into the
jungle.

Ancient City of GAIA
Strong Military Point

Old GAIA. the great city Of Pal
estine. which was we'll known to
Abraham, was one of the most
strongly fortified in the ancient
world.
Sir Flinders Petrie. the veteran
archeologist. announced. short
time ago, the discovery of another
secret passage leading out into the
desert.
So great is the- area still to be
explored in GAIA that Sir Flinders
estimates that it will take so years
to excavate it all.
The elaborate defenses of the
city, which was in its heydey at the
time of Abraham, are so compli-
Gated that military experts with the
expedition did not fully understand
them.
A great tunnel leading from inside
the city. under the walls and nearly
800 yards out into the desert, was
found. This was considered to be
means of escape in emergency, or
a method by which surprise at
tack could be made on besieging
forces.
Further excavations of the main
gate revealed another tunnel cut In
the solid sandstone.

Fashions, Fads, Foibles


Diagonal woolens of very rough
weave have warm, comfy look
in the new sport suits. They seem
hardy and athletic, tho they are
not stiff nor harsh, but very soft.
Their dark browns, deep green's,
warm wine reds blend with the
color of the autumn leaves.
The suit may be a matching
skirt and jacket worn with a tiny
knitted sweater or wool blouse;
or it may be a colorful coat worn
with dark skirt, or dark jack
ct worn with a colorful under
dress. Buttons abound this season
and they are used. The day of
holding ones coat shut is past.
The new silhouette is broad
shouldered, tapering in at the
Waistline and of long, slim skirt.
Sleeves are emphatic with puffs
at cuff, elbow or shoulder. Day
time hem-lines are about twelve
inches from the floor, with long,
er skirts for later afternoon or
evening.

Trace Troubled Dreams
to Prehistoric Period

When man dreams that he is
falling he never strikes bottom be
cause his monkey ancestors who fell
from their perches in the forest and
failed to hook their tails over the
limb of q tree during the descent
never lived so that their human de-
scendanta could remember crash
ing to the ground. And If man
dreams that he suddenly awoke nm
clad in a room full of people. that,
too, Is a carry-over from prehis-
t0ric TIMES, when man went about
unclothed.
So believes Prof. william &.
Slaght, who for a quarter of CEN
tury studied dreams. He analysed
thousands of dreams, seeking to find
their origin, and generally was able
to trace them either TO hereditary
causes, such as tile monkey falling
from the tree, or to some vivid en-
perience in the past life of the
dreamer.

PHENOMENON THAT MAKES
TABLE MOUNTAIN UNIQUE

The s'tablecloth" that occasional
ly caps the flat top of Table noun
tain, South Africa, has been des-
cribed in numerous books of trav-
Ell ever since the latter part of the
Seventeenth century. 1t consists
of a sheet of dense cloud, formed
when warm, moisture bearing
winds are forced up the steep slope
of the mountain, especially in the
summer. The air expands in ris-
ing, cools and condenses its mois-
ture. The cloud often pounrs over
the steep slope of the mountain
like a mighty cataract, and is re-
dissolved as the wind is warmed
by compression in descending. The
effect produced by this rolling
mass of vapor is sometimes indie
scribably grand.
The phenomenon is rendered
more striging by the fact that a
perfectly clear sky generally pre-
