NEAR DEPOT
Seattle, Aug. 15. Farmers and
merchants In King county 'were hard
hit by the county assessor this year in
his assessment of personal property,
and railroads, saloon owners, steam
boat owners, householders and the
possessors, of money were let off easy,
as compared with last year's assess
ment. The hardest blow appeurs to
be that delivered to the farmers, prac
tically all of tho personal property of
whom is subject to heavy Increases.
The most significant increase in
valuation shown by any ono class of
personal property Is that In the valu
ation of agricultural machinery. The
total assessed valuation of agricul
tural machinery was Increased from
144,360 last year to $113,723 this year
an increase of more than 150 pur
cent Horses were Increased from an
averago assessment of 145.98 last year
to an average of $59.91 this year, an
Increase of approximately 30 per cent.
Cuttle were Increased from on aver
age assessment of 118.84 each to 120.-
t.
Another significant indication of the
trend of affairs In connection with the
assessment is that the average valua
tion of pianos was Increased from
193.34 to 1157.72.
The Increases cited were made in
the face of significant decreases in
other classes of personal property.
The total valuation of household
goods, for Instance, was decreased
from $2,761,305 to $1,926,919.
The assessor and his deputies ap
pear to nave snown special rcgaru
and friendship for the owners of cor
porate property, though they have In
creased the assessment of merchants
and others on goods and merchandise
from 14.547,445 to 16.232,260. an in
crease of nearly 1700,000.
Railroad tracks and right of way
are ussesscd at the same rate per mile
this year as butt year. Railroad roll
ing stock also, Is assessed at tne same
rate per mile. The assessments on
the proerty of some of tho public
service coporatlons have been slightly
Increased but following the precedent
of last year, but little attention has
been paid to frrtnahises, the value of
which In the county runs Into the mil
lions.
Owners of steamboats also appear
to have been favored, since the total
assessed valuation of all steamships In
the countv Is decreosed from 1347,460
to 1344.465.
The furniture and fixtures of sa
loons and restaurants has been de
creased from 1346.270 to 1322.360.
Last year the deputy assessors return
ed moneys to the amount of $208, li5
This year they found but 134,320.
The totals here given for this year s
assessment were compiled yesterday
by the secretary of the board of equal
Izatlon at the request of the state tax
commission. The figures for last
year's assessment are taken from the
report of the proceedings of tho state
board of equalization for isim.

National Convention of Eagles.
Denver, Aug. 15. Delegates repre

Uu Birds Sinar
A naturalist hns written to prove that
birds are not singers, but whistlers;
thnt Is to sny, that the notes are pro
duced through a tube to be technical,
through the slit known as the glottls
not by the help of vocal cords. But the
whole distinction is beside the point.
Any one who hns seeu a bird singing
will hove seeu both the vibrations In
his throat and the variations In the ex
tent to which he opens and closes bis
beak or mandibles; and, given these ac
companiments, together with the pro
duction of nn Inarticulate language,
whistling and singing become Identical
terms suggesting n distinction. People
are accustomed to the Idea thnt only a
few species of birds, such as the par
rot and the Jackdaw, can be taught,
but lu wild life almost nil birds are
mimics to some extent, and probably
more of them than people realize could
be taught to Imitate bumnn sounds.

7000 CARS TIED UP

Telegraphers Have Seriously Injured

Seattle, Aug. 15. That seven
thousand carloads of freight on the
lines of the Great Northern an
Northern Pacific railroads stalled bj
the strike have completely tied na
freight traffic on those lines is the
claim now being made by the repre
sentatives of the locked-out operators
in substantiation of the claim that
the strike will be settled within It
days.
The strikers Insist, despite the re
state claims of the railroad officials,
that the roads have found It absolute
ly Impossible ot move their normal
freight traffic.
On the other hand the officials ot
the roads Insist that the strike Is over,
that the places of the locked-out op
erators have been filled, that traffic
Is moving satisfactorily and that
there is no reason why the roads
should worry about the matter. More
offices In this territory have been
opened up almost dally until all ot
the more Important ones have been

There wns the Calves' Uead club,
whose members met and dined oil
calves' beads to show their contempt
for the decapitated Charles I. Then
came the Kit-Kat club, which, accord
lng to Addison, took Its nume from a
mutton pie. One Christopher Kat, a
pastry cook of Shire lane, was a dis
tinguished constructor of mutton pies,
and his productions were culled Klt
Kats. The club meeting In bis bouse
and eating his pies acquired the pies'
name for Its own.--London Telegraph.

Travels of the Cnekoo.
A feature in bird travels Is the de

cuckoos at a diffcreut time. The old
cuckoos set out first, leaving the youug
birds of the year to follow. The adult
cuckoos one might put it by a stretch
of Imagination o much dislike the
fuss and anxiety of traveling cu
famille that they take care to go on
first and by themselves. Whether the
old cuckoos ever know their progeny

probnbly not, although an old cuckoo

A Polite DUcnarBP.
"It is possible." said a New York
man, "to be polite always. It Is pos
sible to be polite even when discharg
ing a drunken coachman. I know thut
tills Is so, for I have seen the thing
done.
"A friend of mine found himself
obliged to get rid of his coachman for
drunkenness. He summoned the man
into bis presence and discharged him
with this polite speech:
" 'I fear, Montgomery, that we must
purt. It has been Impossible for me to

A One Minute Care.
Leaning painfully on a heavy stick
and groaning In Intolerable anguish,
the blinding tears forcing themselves
from his eyes, a Whltechapcl defend
ant, according to the London Globe,
limped up to the county court Judge
and explained that, owing to beiug
hopelessly crippled by rheumatism, he
could not pny a debt. "But I saw you
enter tbe court with that stick under
your arm!" exclaimed the Judge. "Two
shillings a month until the debt Is
paid." Then the pain racked Invalid
threw the stick lightly over his shoul
der, thanked the bench and tripped
gayly Into the street again. It was a
one minute cure.
A Remarkable Sundial.
At the Eutnw entrance to Druid Hill
park, Baltimore, stands one of the most
remarkable sundials In the world. The
time in many parts of the world Is
shown whenever the sun In shining.
It Is easily possible almost at first
glance to read the time within two or
three minutes, while closer acquaint
ance wltb the dial enables the correct
time to bo read to the minute. The
base is of carved bronze. The Instru
ment was presented to the park by
Peter Hamilton, who designed and
made It entirely of stone.
Catting; Jewels I'nder Water.
"The precious stone workers of Ger
many ure among the most interesting
persons I have over seen when engaged
In euttinor their Jewels," snld a well
known traveler. "The principal indus
try Is at Freiburg, on the edge of the,
Black forest In which the precious
stones are found. Tbe principal Jew
els are amethyst Inpls lazuli and mala
chite. The process of cutting them is
the interesting part of the work. All
of them are cut under water. The
Jewel cutters lie flat upon their stom
achs while at work, with their hands
under water, holding the stone which
is being prepared, and the motion of
the wheel does the cutting. The action
of the water makes the process more
rapid and at the snme tiuie leaves a

Beets Hurt by Drouth.
A Blackfoot dispatch to the Salt
Lake Tribune says: The loss front
drouth of sugar beets in the vicinity
of Blackfoot has been variously esti
mated at from 4000 to 8000 tons, but
the most conservative estimate Is be
lieved to be that of Thomas Kneale,
field superintendent who estimates
the loss at 6000 tons. Never In the
memory of the oldest citizen has the
water of Snake river been so low as
this year in the vicinity of Blackfoot.
investigation, however, developed the
fact that ranchers from Idaho Falls
north were using an unusually quan
tity of water, In fact a large amount
was going to waste, while farmers
south of Idaho Falls were losing their
entire crops as a result of no water.
The action of Judge Budge In order
ing 90 per cent of the waters turned 1
for use south of Idaho Falls was ft
godsend and will doubtless save thona
ands of dollars' worth of crops that
were perishing for want of moisture.
The ditches are now full of water an
the entire community is rejoicing.

Bears That Finn For Salmon.
Alaska's brown bears near the Bering
sea live largely on salmon nnd are ex
traordinary fishers. Before beginning
to fish they always place themselves
on tbe downward side of the river.
"They seem to smell the salmon by
some extraordinary means," says a
bunter, "and then begin dashing In nnd
out of the river at some shallow pluce,
rarely falling to catch a fish. They
bring it out on the bank and devour It
If possible selecting some thick patches
of bushes and grass In which to make
their meal, which does not take them
long."
