The approximate valua tion of all the taxable property in the couiHy is $:t0,00U,UOU, so it will be seen that the I hree corpora tion aforementioned will pay over one third of the total tax. Kstimates agree that the probablt tax levy for next year will be about 10 mills, against ,SVfe mills last year. The increase will he in the item for roads. Several districts have so far this year failed to vote special levies for road improvement, and in order to make every district share in the expense of such work and at the same time have it equally distributed, it is proposed to increase the genera! levy somewhat, for road purposes. Mirny Petitions Denied. Aside from the petitions of the big corporations, there were turned down by the Equalization Hoard a number of othei'B from smaller concerns and individuals, asking for reductions In assessments.

At the latter the building was emptied in less than 1 Vs minutes and at the high school in exactly two minutes. An impro vised smoke at the high school made the scene more realistic. The drills were witnessed by the school hoard, the city a,nd county health officer. Dr. llouck. and a few spectators. The pupils, of course, had no knowledge that any drill was to be had, but if there had really been a fire In either !nstaitce every child would have- es caped in safety, it was afterwards suggested that the drill would have been more complete had the children been req u i red t o carry with them Their books, hats, wraps, etc., which was not done at this time. That feature will doubtless 'be added at subsequent drills. Oountv Court convened In regular -oss'nn in Hoselmrg today. One order was made this afternoon. This accents the resignation of Geo. .

Okla homa City lost In the state capital fight today, when the Supreme Court decided that the seat of the state government must remain In Onthrle "temporarily." The court hold that the election on the amendment to re move tho capital to Oklahoma City was void because of defects in the title of the ballot. The decision of tho court, that the capital is to remain at (iuthrie "tem porarily," is taken here to mean that tho election of June it, at which It was decided it should he moved wub illegal because the sentence "shall the bill be adopted?" was omitted from the ballots. The ruling of the court, however, that the capital shall remain in Guthrln until 1913 Is not considered binding, because of an initiated bill calling for u , special session of the legislature, at which another hill providing for the re moval of the cnpital to Oklahoma City may be Introduced. of Med To id .are exceedingly heavy. ; others are dvlng on the trail south "d released, as It was not known . .

The whole trend of tho testimony of the defense was upon the cost of maintenance of this piece of track ns compared with the cost of main tenance of track in level sections or upon moderate grades.

It was shown by defendant that the grade from Horn brook to the Oregon state line was :t..'l per cent and on the Oregon side the grade was ?..:!. It was brought out by Medford that the rate on the California side was ii cents for five mites in Califor nia and 14 cents in Oregon on the same grade.
