Validity ot Tax.
As had been expected. County Treasurer
Conslgny yesterday decided to enter the as
sessment against the stockholders of the
Portland Oold Mining company on the tax
books despite the objections filed by coun
sel Tuesday evening. This will now place
the question In such shape that It can be
taken Into the courts and the liability of
the stockholders determined.
County Treasurer. Consign? decided to
only enter upon the tax books at this time
the assessment for the four years from
1101 to 1904, Inclusive, being of the opinion
that It was the duty of the county auditor
to enter the' assessment for 1906 upon the
books. This will be done by Auditor
Cheyne at the expiration of the ten days
following the notices sent by him Monday
to the same stockholders ot their assess
ment for- 1WJ.
For the purpose of getting the assess
ments on the books an actual valuation of
P per share was placed on the stock, the
taxable valuation being one-fourth of this.
With the basis of 13 a share actual valua
tion, the taxable valuation and the . total
amount of tax for the four years from
101 to 1904, Inclusive, together. with Inter
est, as entered yesterday against the sev
eral stockholders were as follows: '

Valuation Too Hlsrb.
While an actual valuation of 3 per share
wns nlaced on the atock, the county au
thorities do not for an instant anticipate ,
that this will stand. It was done, It is aa
mltted. more In the nature of a bluff than
anything and with the express Intention
of compelling the stockholders assessed to
come Into court and appeal from such an
assessment. That the assessments will be
appealed to the dlstriot court Is a foregone
conclusion and It will then devolve on the
district court to determine whether the
stock of the Portland company Is subject
..inn and for what amount.. In the
m.d bv the attorneys for the
stockholders Tuesday the stock quotations (
M.. voalM (mm 1H11 tO Wa Were i
given and they showed that the" highest
point the stock reached waa In 1901 when It
was quoted at $8.40 and that In 1904 It had
drooped to .40.' For the five years the
average price of the stock was a few points
over $2.25.. ...

engineer. Mr. Taft said that 4,ono of tiio
men were employed In the sanitation de
partment and 13,000 In track work, con
struction of buildings. In machine work and
putting together the equipment In get
ting ready for the work of excavating.
Continuing. Mr. Taft said:
"Mr. Stevens states and I think Mr.
Shonts agrees with him that former EnKl
neer Wallace made a mistake In expending
what he did fpr actua) excavation work
In the Culebra cut. It was done for the
purpose of making estimates as to the cost.
and Mr. Stevens thinks' that tho material
I which Was removed was deposited at places
, from which It will have to be ngaln re
moved, and that estimates based upon thisi
', experiments, therefore, aro estimates based
' upon what docs not assimilate to the actual
work to be done." v .
"So that It reall' was, not good sample
work?" asked Senator Hale. ' , .
"No, sir," replied Mr. Taft. "Of course,
the great problem there Is hot excavation.
The great problerri Is transportation and
the disposition of the waste. Dirt taken
from Culebra cut has to be hauled by rail
from four to fifteen miles."
Mr. Shonts then, said of the work dene
by Mr. Wallace: "Tie selected the.eaay
work at the top of the cut,' where he had
gravity hauls. He dumped It at the near
est place he could, and misled himself and
other people by taking the cost per cublo
yard, thus arrived at during the most fa
vorable circumstances, as being the unit
cost at which he could doi the entire work.
For that reason his work was practically
wasted." - "' '.

This story local appeared In' The'" Be
Monday afternoon:
From reliable sources it la learned that
Senator Fries of Vslley county haa an
nounced he would net tie a candidate for
governor this year. Fof Some months
benator Fries had been counted as one of
the candidates for the republican nomina
tion and he had received' promises of sup
port from a number of prominent people
In various parts of the state. His with
drawal at this time clarifies the- political
atmosphere insofar as Valley county la con
cerned, for It win mean worn vvu win
have no flfht for his hrlme delegation,- as
both Fries and Wall reside In the county.
An effort was made some time ago in get
Treasurer Mortenser? to come out as a can
didate, but the effort proved futile, and
this leaves only Wall aa a candidate irom
Valley county.
This appeared in the World-Herald
Wednesday: ,

The reporter for Ths Be who got th4

original story, which manifestly furnished
the text for the reproduction placed -under
a special dale line, was thus advised by

statement was given out. however, another
statement Is mad by partlee In Omaha
who claim to be prepare t apeak for
Senator Frlea that the senator haa not
withdrawn and does not Intend to withdraw
from th rec. - -
It was auggeated that this denial cam so
late that tt tfitght put the typbtnsted to
the? further trouble of rewriting the de

might have had the original statement and

such as to warrant the mother and daugh
ter taking a trip to Florida, which Journey
they were making when death came.
. -Mr. Towte was stricken with paralysis
three years ago last June, . since which
lime he did not engage In active business
regularly.
George C.' Towle was born in Illinois

These three officials draw their salaries
from the feea of their - offices, and ho
county commissioners do not formally act

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL

Nearly everybody knowa that charcoal la

fur the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy tnat the more you
take of It the better; It Is not a drug at all,
but simply absorbs tue gases and Impurities
always present in the stomach ana Intes
tines and carries them out of the sy stem.
Cnarcoal sweetens the breath after smok

other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Improves
the complexion, it whitens the teetn ana
further nets as a natuiul and eminently
rata cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which col

All druggists sell charcoal in one form or

A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Charcoal Losenges to all patient

the liver Is greatly benefited by the dally
use of tbem; they cost but twenty-five cents

sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I
get more and better charcoal In Stuart's
Charcoal Losenges than in any of the or
