TIE California State Fair this year begins on the 10th of September and will continue one week, but the new Agricultural and Industrial Hall will not, as was hoped, bel in a sufficiently ad- vanced state of preparation to be used for the exposition. It IS hardly possible that the fair will prove as popular as usual. The Sir Kings and the conclaye have taken much of this years starch out of the people of that State, and they have scarcely had time to recuperate.

As WILL appear from an extract from a Denver paper elsewhere, there Is not much to be hoped for from Arizona's mineral exhibit at that place. The court has decided that "the Arizona commis- sioners eau not remove theIr exhibit from the exhibition until October list, though they may box it up and hide it from view if they want to-" By all means let it be "boxed up and hid" The result would be as good as though placed on exhibition, and would save the commissioners 6 deal of trouble.

FORCING A ROAD TO MAKE
VOTES FOR MOSCOW.

We received the following letter char
acteristic of the animus which seems to
govern some that are laboring to make
Moscow the county seat:
Moscow, May II. 1883.
Mr., LELAND, Sir:--I take the priv
ilege OF writing to You few lines. The
people Of Moscow and vicinity want to
run a county road through my farm on
the Little Potlatch, which will greatly
damage it. They have now good road
on one side of the place, and they are
still not satisfied They sent a commit
tee to talk to me about the matter, and
we could not agree, and now want to force
me to give them road through my farm
and want me to make the fencing. They
stated that Moscow wanted the trade
Of the Potlatch and also that the road
would be beneficial (to them in the COM
ing election. l am sorry to state that |
don't feel able to buy the trade, nor the
votes for Moscow. would like if you
would write me and tell me what course
to take. If you want farther information
write me. l close, hoping to hear from
you soon. Yours truly,
W. j. JOHNSON,
p. o. address, Moscow.
The above letter needs no comments
to show the unfairness in seeking Mr..
Johnson's land for road without COM
pensation, in order to secure the Potlatch
trade for Moscow and their votes for the
county seat Our advice to MIR. johnson
Is to forbid them the land till they will
either pay for it or have county assess the
damages and pay for them, and order the
road opened in due form of law. We
don't blame Moscow for wanting roads,
but We think their method, as Mr.. John
son reports it to us, of securing one is
niggardly, selfish and unjust to Mr., John
son.

COUNTY ASSESSOR.

Reports come to us that the county
assessor, Herbert, is doubling the value
oil property from its assessed value OF
last year, as for instance cows that were
assessed at Sl5 last year, are assessed at
$50 this year, and land that was assessed
at S3 per acre last year he is assessing at So
per acre this year, and other class of pro-
perry in like proportion, Now whether
this be so, we only know the fact that
he is so reported II it be so, the cause
for so doing, We know not. We are told
that some simple and must-be evil mind
cd persons in the interest of Moscow, are
charging that the Lewiston people have
instigated him to do this. Such charge
carries with it, its own falsity. Where
can there be found a taxpayer either in
or out of Lewiston, who would induce the
assessor to increase the assessed value of
his property and compel him to pay au in
creased tax upor! his own property? If this
is being done ut all, it doubtless is beng
done at his own instance, either from his
own judgement of its value, or from his
desire to obtain an increased amount of
percentage for the labor of assessing. Ii
it be the latter it is an unworthy motive
If it be the former and the assessment Is
too high, the ax-payer has his remedy
with the Board of Equalization, who, if
they find property over estimated in val
ue, can make a reduction. The assessor
is required TO submit blank statement
to be filed by the taxpayer with the
character and amount of his property and
have it sworn to by the payer, and
then if the Taxpayer and assessor cannot
agree as to the value, the assessor
can fix the value, according to his
best judgement, in the first instance. III
the Taxpayer is assessed at too high
value his right of appeal to the Board of
Equalization remains intact, and then
that board can remdy the evil by a reduc.
ton. II Mr.. Herbert is doing wrong,
the people of Lewiston are not response
Bile for his acts. Moscow had as much
to do with his nomination and election as
any other portion Of the county, and in
this respect, ''the Pot cslnnot call the
kettle black legs" But for the good of
the people Of the county, and the safety
Of his own reputation, We trust that Mr.
Herbert is doing his duty to the people
of the whole county, fearlessly and faith
fully, according to law and the best in
tere.t of Taxpayers.

But this rcmonstrance was not enough,
so they called public meeting at Mos
COW, and chose an agent to go before
the board of county commissioners and
present the renlonstrance and make rep
resentation against better county build
ings. We then had but the old Jail and
court house building. Since then the
commissioners have secured quite large
and commodious court house building up
on easy terms, and better than has any
county in the Territory, save Ada county
and perhaps Idaho county, and one that
will answer the purpose of the county for
years to come, though not new building

IDENTITY expected that the road viii be

Fall The Idaho people consider certain
that the road will be extended to the

should have made the connection of the
two surveys, and no one of the surveyors
here can forcsee any worse ground for a

ready surveyed. The whole survey is
likely to prove complete success and
the building of the road may be safely
