FROTHY BEVERAGE
IS AGAIN Oil SAll
Following Report of State Chemiit
DeBarr the Joints Resume Said
of Amber Mead.
It Is claimed that the lid on tho
sale of Amber Mead in Vlnita went
off Thursday and tho joints are
dispensing tho frothy beverage with
titter disregard for tho county attor
ney under whoso order the joints
were dosed by injunction several
weeks ago.
mis action oi me toiniisia is cue
to the report of Dr. Edwin DeParr
the state chemist on the analysis of
Amber Mead in which he states that
this beverage contains less than one
half of one per cent alcohol at d
therefore its pale is not in violation
of the Oklahoma prohibition law.
Dr. Dcltarrs report caused the
county court in many of tho counties
to order tho return of all Amber Mend
confiscated to the owners.
It seems that there has been many
conflicting reports of tho amount of
alcohol contained in Amber Meal.
One report submitted to County At-
torney Drady showed an alcoholic
percentage of 4:58 and in ono case
over live per cent. As Dr. Dellarr
Is the official chemist for the Btate
and is recognized as one of tho most
efficient chemists in the country be-
ing dean of the department of chemis
try at tho state university it is vry

against tho sale of Amber Mead.

Guthrie Quia. Aug. 24. The state
of Oklahoma Increased its property
values $ir.C?.'.0.f.3l or 18.78 per cent
during the last year according to the
assessment rolls for 1H0!) winch are
now almost complete Private prop-
erty assessed locally by tho county
assessors has $12834Q2U3 of this In-
crease. The railroads and other pub-
lic service corporations such as oil
and gas pipe lines express companies
telephone and telegraph electric and
heating street railway and the Pull-
man company assessed by the state
board of equalization have $10 210353
of the increase.
Tho corporate assessments for 1909
total $214417437 or an Increase of 4.G
per centum over 1908. These assess-
ments have not yet been distributed
among the various counties of the
state and how much of such valuation
should go to each county Is yet under-
termlned. The private property assessments
as opposed to corporate were made by
the counties themselves as above said
and the figures In each county show
its valuation. These county assess-
ments total 619655715 an Increase
of 24.14 per centum over the same
total for 1908. - j
The total valuation for the Ktate is ;
thus shown to bo JSC 10731 50 ns op-!
posed to the total valuation for 1108 J
of $727722510.
The county assessments for
year when compared with 19s afford
tin interesting analysis of the marvel-
ous growth of Oklahoma within the
last year. Sixty-six counties out of the
seventy-six show an Increase of 2'!
per centum in property values over
190S; seven counties tdiow a decrease
of 8 per centum as compared with last
year; three counties show an increase
of 102 per centum over lat jear or
a little more than doubling of values
within the tweive months.
The counties doubling values are
Craig Delaware and Mayes all in the
iiortDeastern part of the state where
restrictions are rapidly being remov-
ed from the lands of the Cherokccs
The Increase in valuation In these
three counties Is so great that It
doubles tne total decrease iu the fum-
ties whose Assessments averapo 8 per
centum less than last year thus not
only making up the decrease In these
seven counties but having enough
over to make tne average increase In
the ten counties almost as high as the
other elxty-slx.
