The state board Ct equalization
have completed their iabors. The
result of their labors was accidentally
overlooked in the ''copy" for last
weeks issue, but as it is of deep
interest to many Of our readers we
give it this week: The valuation of
all main lines of railroad were fixed
at $1,000 per mile and all branch lines,
including so much of the Utah and
Northern as lies between Pocatello
and the Montana state line, at $4,000
per line.
All telegraph lines were fixed at
$50 per mile for single wire, and
s15 for each additional wire except
the Caldwell and Silver City line,
which remains as fixed by the
assessors.
All sheep in the state were valued
ut a uniform rate of 81 so per head.
Horses were raised in Idaho county
only 20 per cent. Cattle were raised
10 per cent. in four counties, Bingham
Custer Washington and Bear Lake,
and reduced in Idaho and Logan
counties 20 per cent. and in Alturas
10 per cent,
Land was raised in six counties,
viz; in Idaho, Latah, Nez Perez,
Washington and Bear Lake, 20 pei
cent. and in Oneida 40 per cent. Nc
eth ,r changes were made.
Since the publication of thes'

out that55, 900 acres of land ''iisted'
in the above abstract was unpatenteC
and not subject to taxation. Tn

county to be valued at IS. rs per acre
The board of equalization added 2
per cent. bringing the value up
$6.31 per cent, but the count
assessor had already valued the Ian

per acre. The error arose in Il
