Nine Assessors,

Taxable property in Marion
county this year, as recorded by
nine township assessors and re-
ported today by County Assessor
Robert E. Sloane. is valued at $47s,-
186,335. This figure does not in
clude assessments on corporations

fore it ends work Wednesday, and
utilities will be assessed by the state
tax board.
Further Cut Ordered
For purpose of equalizing assess
mentS beetwen the various town
ships, the board, upon recommended
ton of assessors, ordered an addi-
tional 10 per cent horizontal reduc-
ton in Washington and Warren
townships, and Wayne township
outside the city.
After checking downtown ap-
praises, the board also has sliced
ground values, abutting Monument

segments from $4,000 to $4,000 and
the southwest and southeast seq
ments from $4,000 to $4,000 and ST.

tai is raised from $3.50 ,093 in 1881
to $4,069,121 for 1882, because of a

NEW YORK, Aug. GA burst Of
buying orders caused sensational
price advances on the New York
Stock Exchange today. Tickers fell
eight minutes behind the pace of
trading as big blocks Of shares were
bought up on orders flashing in
from all parts of the country.
The biggest week of the year in
the stock market was ending on a
high note of enthusiasm and prices
were from l to II points above the
previous close.
The list was up l to points at
the outset, and gathered momentum
with the best prices made near the
close.
1t was the largest Saturday Of the
year.
Shorts Rush TO Cover
Shorts covered feverishly. Some
of these bears included the biggest
operators in the street. Bulls of
1928-29 resumed operations, run
ming up first profits since the crash
wiped them out three years ago.
Incentive to buying stocks was
provided in part by another sharp
rise IN wheat, which made new
highs on the movement, and by a
firm bond market where railroad
issues were in demand
Sentiment was helped by the
weekly car loadings report for the
week ended July 30, showing 510,687
cars-up 1851 cars from the pre-
ceding week.
Railroad shares subsequently
swung into action. They rose l 70
10 points and helped the remainder
OF the list. Traders had been wait
ing for the rails to confirm the up
trend and when they did, buying
became hectic.
U. p. Scars 10 Points
Traders took stocks at any prices
offered just as they sold for any
thing available when the decline
was in progress after the break of
the Dull market of 1929.
Union Pacific scared nearly 10
points; Atchison and Southern
Pacific 5, while gains of 2 to 3
points were recorded in New York
Central, New Haven and Chesapeake
81 Ohio
Steel common scared more than 8
points to a new high on the move
ment at 49, At that level it was
exactly 100 per cent above its low
for the year.
Steel preferred rose nearly 10
points to 87l2.
J. /. Case was carried to SO, up
81, while International Harvester
reached 29l2, up rs. American Can
rose nearly points; General
Electric more than and Westing
house Electric more than 8.
1t was estimated that more than
300 stocks on the big board had
recorded increases in price of 100
per cent, some of the gains in the
lower priced issues running to 500
per cent.

Some Literary Dognas
Appear to Be Crashing


A literary season still young has
already produced a first-elass sensa-
fion In the form of a book which
sets out to prove that Mark Twain
was a humorlst- Only three years
ago the author, Mr.. Bernard De
Vote, embarking on such an enter
prise, would have been taking his
life In his hands Among the literary
dogmas that e basic from the
armistice TO the crash was the one
about Mark Twain, who was born to
be q great satirist but who was re-
pressed and frustrated by his early
frontier environment and by his Pur-
itan wife into becoming q buffoon.
Mark Twain, according TO the re-
preston theory. cut up capers be
cause he was not allowed to pour
out the hate and Indignation within
him. II must be a dozen years now
since the critics have had it In for
the prim Elmira girl whom Mark
Twain married In 1871, and who pro-
ceeded to repreSs and Illustrate Mark
So effectively that in the next 10
years he could do nothing better
than write Tom Sawyer life on
the Mississippi and ..Huckleberry
Finn" Since the crash. however. the
literary dogmaS. particularly in biog-
raphy. have been changing. 1t is
now becoming fairly safe To assert
that Mark Twain had a natural gift
for laughter. that George Washing
ton loved his country and that Ma
noleon was a nan OF parts.-New

yards must be removed before pouring
OF concrete starts, the river bed being
excavated to a depth Of 100 feet.
Frank T. Grove, general field su-
perintendent Of Six Companies, con-
tractors, said the most difficult part
OF the project Is behind the engineers.
Building OF the dam itself, he ex-
planned, will be comparatively simple
work. He said the big Job was the
pioneering state Of shaping the great
canyon walls, building the diversion
tunnels and spillway bores and get
ting the river out OF Its channel.
Work on the project is more than a
year ahead OF schedule and 1t Is ex-
pected to be completed by the end OF
1887.
