THE WEISER SIGNAL.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 81 1891.

Uncle Sam, is the SIGNAL barred
from prompt transmission through
your mails? If not, why did your
postmaster at Weiser hold it "a hours
in his Office on January 9Th, 1892,
needlessly, delaying its arrival at
some parts of the county for seventy
two hours? which is materially
detrimental and damaging to the
business Of the publisher Of said
Journal. The stage from this place
leaving Friday morning arrives that
evening at Indian valley, connecting
with the Indian valley and Meadows
stage, which leaves Indian valley
Saturday morning and arrives at the
Meadows Saturday evening. 1t
does not leave Indian valley again
until Tuesday. The SIGNAL is placed
In the Weiser post Office Thursday
evenings and should arrive at Indian
valley Friday evening, leave there
Saturday morning and arrive at the
Meadows and the north end of the
county Saturday evening. But by
being held and not being forwarded
from Weiser on Friday (who. can tell
how many times this has or will be
done?) it must lay over at Indian
valley until the following Tuesday
before it can be forwarded to the
Meadows, causing it to arrive there
" hours later than it properly should,
which is damaging to its interests in
that section. The publisher pays
you, Uncle Sam, the full amount of
postage required for its prompt
transmission through your mails, and
expects to receive it. 1t is now at
the mercy Of the person you have
now in charge of the Office at this
place, and who openly states through
q paper of this county that he is ready
and willing to do detriment to the
publisher of the SIGNAL.

County officers do NOT have such .

County officers do not have such a
picnic as some people think and often
have to perform good deal of la
boricus work for which they receive
neither thanks nor pay. The auditor
and the assessor are two Of the unfor-
Inmates, and the changing of the ass
essment roll to conform to the state
board raise and the changing back
again, after this was knocked out by
the supreme court, to the original
figures has entailed a vast amount of
useless and unrecompensed labor
upon Smith and Denney. By the
Ryan act Of the fourteenth session of
the legislature, it was enacted that
assessors, tax collectors, treasurers
and sherifrs should receive certain
fees for the collecting and handling
of taxes and licenses in their respec-
i've counties, which were to be de-
Quoted from funds on hand and the
balance sent to the state treasurer.
In a suit brought by the auditor of
Boise county against the state audi
tor, brought to compel him to pay
certain fees, it was held by the su-
preme court that all moneys collected
for the state on taxes must be sent to
the state treasurer without deduction
of fees. The question then arose
as to whether q license is tax and
whether the state auditor should
draw q warrant on the state treasurer
for fees due to the county assessors.
General Roberts held that no fees or
commission can be allowed for their
services in the collection of same ex-
cept sheriffs in certain cases.

ED. SIGNAL, No snow has fallen

j. Hancock was married to Miss
Josephine Underwood on the 9th.
As this happens to be leap year we
are sure Of some weddings, hence the
cause of two weddings in our valley so
early in this year. The boys had

What has become of poor Leander
and Bono. Now Leander, if you
expect to win in the year Of 1892,
you will have to come well loaded
with the usual necessary captivating

singer, and little of the
exceptional comonsense and stability
which the Farmers Alliance would like
TO see and now l will assure you the
rot gut tobacco and other necessary
articls of captivatipn, the people will
pay for, in this way. When the
house of lords meets in Boise next
winter you make out your bill
correctly, and itemize thus:

They will reciprocate, for you well
know the senators and representatives
are elected by the people to make laws
to govern them, and when you make
it plain that the salary you will re-
ceive is not sufficient to pay your
campaign expenses and leave YOU a
good remuneration, they will raise
your salary and tax the farmers a
little more, relieveing them of few
dollars more of their surplus. am

ton this way. AS you do not come
out and accept poor Bono's challenge
and expound your sentiments publicly
no one knows which of you wants or
needs an Office the worst. The

White caps in Nampa are not even
interesting. We have boxing club
here that is attracting more attention
than the State board equalization did
a month ago. Two of the local
champions wishing to give an
exhibition of their skill in the manly
art met in a friendly contest
Wednesday evening in front of the
school house after services were over
but just as they were getting warmed
up to their work the police stepped
in and put stop to the fun. Both
the contestants are dissatisfied at the
abrupt and unceremonious in

and have declared their intention to
meet at some future time and have it
out. Your correspondent has signifed
his willingness to be present on the
occasion and if he is, you may expect
a detailed report of the encounter.
Several of our young bloods, wish

Farmers wanting grain to SOW in the
spring would do well to buy before
the price advances.
There is to be singing school in
the valley-not exactly singing
school, but the young folks are to
meet at the school house or some
residence and pratice singing. 1t is
an old saying that it is impossible
to keep good man down The
same maxim will apply as well to

The Idaho Falls Times seems to
have lit very near on the solid trutl.
when it says: Governor Wiley is a
man who the gang in Boise think
they can bulldose into anything they
dictate, and by his not being posted
on the ways Of the corruptable gang,
they have buncoed him. The writer
believes Governor Wiley to be work
ing, as he thinks, for the interests of
the state but the bunco steerers have
by their smooth talk had him, as the
executive Of the state, do a great many
things contrary to his obligation
Some of these men are working their
tricks on him in the hope of ''getting
even" for his action in the senatorial
light one year ago. There is no
doubt but what the state officials as
an outfit are very much given over
to looking after the mighty dollar,
whether it drops down from the skies
or they earn it.

Following is list of 4, 060 acres
OF decided land in this county which
escaped taxation in 1891. The law
provides that any land discovered to
have escaped taxation one year may
be doubly assessed the following year.
Mr.. Denncy stated to the Citizen that
II the SIGNAL would point out this
land he would deal with it as the law
provided, which, if he does, will add
between Sl5, 600 and $50, 900 more
to the valuation of property in the
county for 1891, which will pile on
several hundred dollars more to the
amount received for taxes for the past
year, giving the county little tinan-
cial lift; thus, through the instru
mentality of the SIGNAL, Il good deed
Is done. We are truly sorry to have
narrowed Mr.. Denney's sensibilities
{. by keeping him in such prominence
during the past few weeks, but we
have proved that we were not liar,
and hope the matter is ended with
good feelings among all We are
still the firm friend of the assessor,
and hope he can freely take our hand

The popular movement for the
election of United States senators by
popular vote of the people is likely
to be one Of the most important sub
jects discussed by the present con-
gress. 1t seems likely to be one
great subject of national interest
upon which party lines will not be
drawn, and from which fact the ad-
vocates of the proposed reform derive
encouragement of ultimate success.
