United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. IL. - The
latest Shanghai bombing episode
has intensified United States con-
Germ for the safety of American
lives there.
At the same time it has i'm
pressed forcibly on officials here
the extreme gravity of military
operations around the thickly-
settled International Settlement.
Consul General Cunningham has
received the Japanese consul's
apology for the episode. and Japa-
nese naval officers have agreed to
exercise extreme caution in the
future.
Thursday, japanese airplane
released two bombs over the Inter
national Settlement, unintention-
ally, they explained, which crashed
into a mill garrisoned by United
States marines. None of the sea-
soldiers was killed, but five Chinese
lost their lives.
State department officials would
not say whether the bombing
would be protested officially to
Toxic. Japan's prompt apology at
Shanghai may forestall further
representations, but that is not
definite.
Reports have reathed here that
Japan is sending Is more troop
laden transports to Shanghai, thus
increasing chances of a major bat
tie near the foreign settlement
Officials do not know the exact
number of reinforcements being
sent. Estimates have varied widely
between 5000 men and two war;
strength divisions, or about $4,000
men.
No formidable barriers, it is
pointed out, Separate the native
city from the settlement. A fight
on a grand scale, beginning in the
native quarter, might spread over
into the foreign city, endangering
the 5000 American civilians and
Sis, 100000 worth of property
there.
Although Japan'S apology has
served to mitigate the seriousness
of the bombing on Thursday, some
officials are frankly resentful
about it. First. they point out,
japanese airplanes have no right
to fly over the International Set
tlement at all, previous warnings
having been given on this point.
Second, it is held that the Japa-
nese planes have no legal right in
China, as no state of war exists.
Under these conditions, they hold,
Japan must accept full response
bility for any damage done to
foreigners.

CATTLE AND SHEEP POPULATION OF
MONTANA SHOWS SLIGHT DECREASE

Helena, Feb. 17.-(AP)--On jan
uary l, according to reports to the
State Federal Crop Reporting serv-
ice, farms of Montana listed 1885,
900 head of cattle, 100000 sheep,
$4,000 hogs, 100000 horses and g.
900 mules.
A slight decrease in numbers Of
all cattle of approximately 1 per
cent is reflected in the estimates
of numbers on farms compared
with o year ago. The number of
milk cows, however, was slightly
larger, following a steady increase
that has been evidenced since 1925.
In the decrease in cattle numbers
during the past year, the number
of breeding cows of beef type was
increased slightly while steer and
calf calsses decreased. Market rec
ords for the year show increased
marketings of steers, a relatively
large increase in calves and a de-
crease in cows marketed.
For the first time since 1923

LOWER TAX RATE
ON LIVESTOCK is
GRANTED COUNTY
Assessment Schedule Shows
Reductions on Sheep
and Cattle.

County livestock will be assessed
at lower rates in 1882, the state
board Of equalization having made
large reductions in the assessment
schedules. Schedules received this
week by Floyd Gebo, couny asses
sor, indicate reductions of from 81
to $4 on sheep, and an average re-
duction of SO on cattle.
A comparison of the latest rat
ings with the 1881 schedule shows
reduction on the various classes:
sheep, purebred, were scheduled at
S12 in 1881, at So for 1892; stock
rams, So in 1881, S. in 1882; COM
ing yearlings, s4 in 1881, So this
year; coming two, three or four
year-olds, So last year, 81 this year.
Purebred cattle in 1881 were
scheduled at $40, this year at $55;
coming y~earlings, $22 last year. SIT
this year; coming 2-year-olds. $50
last year, $23 this year; coming g.
year-olds and stock bulls, $50 in
1881, $38 in 1882; stock and range
cattle, $35 last year, $25 now;
dairy cattle, $45 then, $40 now.
Possibility Of a downward revis-
ion of the real estate assessment
schedules to be made up by the
first Monday in March, has been
considered by the assessor this
year. Altho the assessor himself
is powerless to reduce assessment
rates during an election year, Mr..
Gebo has communicated with the
state equalization board, suggest
ing a Tightening of the tax load on
the Carbon county property owners
this year.
