that cost of construction is not q
! fair criterion, neither is mortgage
valuation; net earnings are wholly
| misleading and gross receipts will
| not do at all. Well, then, upon
what basis shall railroads be val
ued for taxation. How would an
average of stock quotations answer?
| 1t is fair to assume that railroads
are never mortgaged for much
more than their original cash
value. Consequently line that is
mortgaged at $4,000 or $4,000
per mile is not valued excessively
at $1,000. The argument that the
road in Idaho does not pay, has no
bearing on valuations. Suppose a
man starts out from Weiser with a
good six horse team and wagon,
loaded with potatoes for DeLamar
and is met at Caldwell by the as
SCISSOR; suppose the outfit cost
$4,000, and suppose that the assess
or value it at $500, and then sup
pose that the owner kicks and says
that while travelling through Can
yon county he isn't making any
thing, is actually running at loss,
ON such showing would the as
SCISSOR be justified in valuing that
$4,000 outfit at $500? The Oregon
Short Line was built through Idaho
because it was the shortest and
best route to the coast. It would
run right along if Idaho was an
nninhabited desert. The Oregon
Short Line line is not in this state
by virtue Of its benevolence. What
ever Of good it does is simply Incl
dental to it's main purpose and
whatever business it does here is
practically clean profit. We have
never heard of any railroad going
out of it's way to benefit this state;
we do not know of any road that
would not come here if there was
sufficient profit in the enterprise,
and we do not know of any road
that would not pull up and leave
the state, bodily, if there was more
money in doing that than remain
ing here. We do not believe in
taxing railroads exorbitantly; we
do not believe in treating railroads
differently from any other property,
but railroads at $4,000 per mile
and sheep at 50 a head is mani
fest inconsistency.
With respect to state boards with
assessing powers, we believe they
were designed wholly for the bene-
fit of railroad companies and SINH
liar corporations. 1t has been
found much more convenient to
manipulate a single state board
than multitude of county boards.
That is the only discoverable
advantage. If the boards in Wyo-
ming, Utah and Montana have
been worked more effectively than
our own, it is only a question Of
time. Idaho's state board is get
ting there just as rapidly as posi-

yielded him. If, on the other hand
he was only ambitious to exploit
his literary accomplishments, he
may rest easy on his laurels. His
hyperbole is magnificent and
compared with truth, many of his
his statements are exquisit antithe-
ses. But to be candid, we rather
suspect that the gentleman is
suffering from a delusion which
seems to afflict others in this
locality. The idea obtains among
certain classes that the TRIBUNE
has sepecific mission to fulfill and
that the design involves utter
destruction of the political pros
poets of worthy men who cherish
high and laudable aspirations.
We desire to say to the doctor and
all his compatriots of whatsoever
political faith or complexion that
they are harrassipg themselves un-
necessarily. We came here be-
cause we believed that this was a
country Of magnificent possibilities,
because we thought we foresaw an
era of growth and prosperity greater
than could be hoped for in any
other section of the state. We
came to Caldwell because we
thought it was broad, energetic,
progressive community, where
the petty sites and jealousies of
provincial neighborhoods would be
subdued by the energy and liberal
ity Of an enlightened public spirit.
We we're led to believe that those
conditions prevailed. We looked
at the splendid public school house,
the college and the churches and ac-
counted them the physical emblems
Of a cultured, intelligent people
with high and noble ideas of life.
These presentments induced US to
believe that this was good place
in which to live and rear family.
We came here with q most kindly
feeling towards all the people and
an honest desire to Assist in build
ing up and advancing the country.
If we have been misrepresented
or our purpose misconstrued. we
can not help but regret it; we have
wiltully done nothing to merit it.
We happen to know that an effort
has been made by some ill-advised
persons to create feeling of
antipathy towards US. Gentlemen
have taken particular pains to
circulate malicious little ISLANDERS
for our benefit, in the hope, no
doubt, Of accomplishing benevo-
lent purpose. We shall remember
their attentions gratefully. Never
theless, we held our peace, believ.
ing that the most vindictive and
deluded could not long cherish a
hatred which was groun,lless in
origin. But, judging from the
course pursued by DIR. WRIGHT,
there is not only no prospect of
abatement but it has been deter
mided to take the matter of our
defamation out of private channels
ard elevate it to the public print.
This is most satisfactor arrange
ment and we hope our friends will
prosecute the enterprise with vigor.
We might again caution them,
though, that they are suffering
under miserable delusion. With
their hopes and ambitions We have
no concern. They may all be
governors or even presidents for
what we care. But if we are
in anyway an obstacle to their
preferment. by ali means. thew

If THE OCEANS WE'RE DRY.
They Couldn't Be Filled Up Again Because

They Couldn't Be Filled Up Again Because
the Rivers Would Disappear.
Suppose the ocean bed were empty,
how long would the rivers of the world
have to pour themselves into it before
it was filed again, presuming there
was no loss by evaporation?'
Answer by the Broelslyn Eagle: This
question, or one very like it, has
''gone the rounds" for a good while.
It's terms seem to infer that some
things have been forgotten in forrnu-
lating it. as will be seen. The ocean
and seas on the surface of the globe,
representing 145, o00. 600 square miles,
with an average depth of 1000 faith
oms are calculated to contain S,270,e 500
billion tons of water. If this were all
evaporated and the basins left dry, it
has been computed that, at the rate OF
thirty-six cubic miles per day (the esti-
mated flow of all the rivers in the
world), it would occupy $4,000 years to
replace and create a complete circuit
of the whole of the seas as they at
present stand. But this required
further assumption, namely. that the
rivers would continue to flow with
their present capacity, which would,
in fact, be impossible if the ocean bed
were empty and dried up. Ii such
thing happened the river beds would
soon follow suit and be also empty, as
the sea is their great source of water
supply 1t is estimated that every year
LAYER of the entire ocean fourteen
feet thick is taken up into the clouds
and returns to the earth in the shape
of rain, keeping its springs and rivers
supplied with water. Stop this supply
and rivers of the world would soon be
mere dribbles of water, which would
shortly and quickly disappear. render
ing it impossible for them ever again
to fill the sea to its present extent.

ChASTISED By A COW.

An Incident Which Tends to Show That
Cattle Are Intelligent.
A COW and a steer-the latter two OF
three wears old-were the only occu-
pants of the barnyard where the occur
renee took place, writes Allen Pringle.
A batting of hay was put out to them,
the cow taking possession. The steer
wished to share it. but the cow, like
some higher animals, was selfish and
was bent on taking the whole of it,
and as often as he would maneuver
around from side to side to get bite
she would drive him off at the point of
her horn. The steer was so persistent
that at last the cows patience gave
way and, taking a determined and
vicious charge on him, punished him
severely, though he was her own off
spring, says Popular Science Monthly.
The steer felt badly hurt, not only in
body but evidently in mind as well,
and Immediately started out of the
yard and off down the lane toward the
pasture where were the rest of the
stock, believing vengeance at every
step in language which was unnis-
taxable to the bystanders and winch
the mother well understood, as she
ceased eating and listened intently to
the threatenings of what was to come.
When these died away in the distance
she resumed her ration, but with evil
dent apprehension. In due time the
steer was seen returning, bringing
with him a companion larger and
stronger than himself. AS they APP
preached the rumblings of rage and
revenge could be again heard, which
grew louder as they came nearer.
The cow took in the situation at once
and was now terror-stricken. AS her
assailants rushed into the yard she
lodged them and rushed out at life
and-death speed and away toward the
rest of the stock in the field with her
pursuers close on her track.
