OFFICE OF rnE ATTORNEY uEslRAL.
Onicial Business.
Boise City, Idaho, April is, 'SS.
To the District Attorneys and assessors of the
! Several Counties:
Gentlemen-Your attention i. re-
spectfully called to the provisions OF
Chapter Four OF Title Ten Of the
Political Code as TO the assessment of
property for taxation.
Section 1925 expressly requires
that all taxable property shall be as
sessed AT IT'S FULL CASH VALUE, and
that Chapter gives ample power to
the Assessor to enable him to ascer-
tain all taxable property in his county,
while Section l430 prescrbes a very
stringent affidavit to be taken BY
the taxpayer, and Section 1882 au-
thorizes the Assessor to subpoena and
examine witnesses, so that in mos,
cases any oa.ission must be "through
his williul failure or neglect" within
the terms of Section 1857, and sub
ject the Assessor and his sureties to
the penalties Of that and the succeed.
ing sections.
1t is notorious that Assessors in any
counties avowediy assess both real
and personal property, and in some
cases even money and public and
other securities, at forty.iive or fftv
per cent. of their known and &C
knowledged cash value. Such course
is in direct violation of the official
duty of Assessors and no such officer
can truthfullv make oath to lis assess.
ment book as required by Section 1853
of the Revised Statutes.
If such wilful violatian Of plain Of
fetal duty is persisted in and the dis
graceful evasions of law shown bv
the assessments of last year are at
tempted to be repeated this
year, it will become the duty
of the District Attorney to com.
mence an action to remove anv such
Assessor from Office as provided bv II.
S. 1905, and in proper case to in
st.tute criminal proceedings and an
action against the officer and his
surities under r. S. 1857 and subse.
quent provisions.
District Attorneys will please repor,
to this Office the condition of this and

The TIMES is requested to agitate
the matter of celebrating tho Fourth
Of July, in HALEY this year. 1t is as
sured that, if We celebrate, the
people of Bellevue and ketchum will
cheertully refrain from celebrating,
and many will even come to spend
tho day in HALEY. This is not given
anthoritativcly, but it seems to be the
feeling. and, before we decide the
question, this would have to be look
cd into, and ascertained.
II the people of either Bellevue or
ketchum are willing TO forego ccIc-
hrating ont Of Difference to the people
OF HALEY, we should celebrate if for
no other reason (besides patriotic
ones) than to acknowledge the com
plimen: thus rendered.

In a day or two committee OK the
Board OF Trade will call on the citil
zens Of HALEY for subscriptions to-
ward paying Cor the proposed new
road down Camp creek. This road
will give the ranchers, teamsters and
travellers generally a much easier
grade between the Prairie and the
Gold Belt than that by way OF Tol-
mics, and shorten the time between
the two points from y to 10 hours
according to the weight of a load,
the draft animals, etc. 1t will bring
direct to HALEY much business that
would, without it, be forced to Belle
vue; and it will give the people Of
HALEY and Casnas Prairie and all
others who must travel between the
two points the road that nature has
provided.
To be sure, Haley has no fight
whatever against Bellevue; but she
owes it to herself, to her friends
and patrons, and to the community at
large, to do her share toward provid-
ing the best and shortest possible
roads between points within hc'
reach. And every property-holder
every man who makes his living here
should contribute to that end to The

monies claim large niche in his think

entists, color is dependent upon vfbra-
tory condition Of the medium connecting
his brain with the object received, or
whether the color of that object is due to
some peculiar decomposition of the COM
posite light which it receives, is of no
moment to the inspired painter, who pro-
duces his effects by the simple manipula-
tion of few bristles, and leaves the rest
to Nature. No study of the laws of
Physics will avail in the study of the best
methods of producing these effects, and
his work in this line must be the careful
study and analysis of what others have
done before him. The originality of in
experience is of q low order, and it is
only when heaven-given genius is COM
bined with knowledge of the expert
cace gained by other workers that true
and valuable class of original work is
possible. Ordinary art collections are
valuable in comforting this experience,
but the most perfect conditions are only
realized in such as that are now exhibited
at the Centennial Exposition in Cincin-
natl, where master pieces from all parts
of the world may be seen, side by side.
