1.-The frequent illegibility of the post
mark on envelopes is a great nuisance,
said a wholesale merchant the other day
as he scanned with perplexed air an en-
yelope he had just opened. Il can no
more dccipher the letters and figures on
this thing than if they were Chinese.
Just look at it. The blotch he indicated
on the envelope, though it was evidently
intended to represent a postmark, bore
far more resemblance to an inky thumb
mark, and was just as Ineligible
Far too many postmarks are done in
that style" remarked the merchant,
land when they are, the end for which
they are intended-to trace the course
and fix the dates of the mailing and the
delivery of letter, is entirely defeated. -

Notice Of Bond Election.

In pursuance of the provisions of

vised States of Idaho, as amended
at the Third session of the Legis-
lature of the State of Idaho. ap-
proved March 8, 1895, the board
of county commissioners of Idaho
county, state of Idaho, made an
examination into the financial con-
dition of the county aforesaid, and
after examining the records and
files of the board and the reports
of the auditor and treasurer of the
county, heretofore filed, find that
there is an outstanding indebted
ness as shown by warrants issued
prior to the second Monday of
April, A. D. 1895, including inter-
est to October |, A. ID. 1895, and
after deducting therefrom money

payment of such Indebtedness, of
S74 10000, as near as can be esti-
mated, which warrants the board
finds are valid and legal obliga-
tons of the county aforesaid the
above named amount being the to-
tai Indebtedness of said county.
The board further finds that said
warrants are drawing interest at
the rate of seven CD per cent. per
annum, which the board believes
could be funded by the issue of
bonds bearing interest not to ex-
coed six Co per cent. per annum.
They also find that said war

Cattle Money in JeOpardy.

Crawford Moore recently ship
ped some cattle to Omaha to the
commission house of Wagner &
Barney to be sold by them. This
they did and deposited the money
in the Union Stock Yards bank Of
South Omaha to their credit. 1t
seems that the commission house
has been owing the bank for long
time, and the bank placed the en-
tire amount to their credit, and
would not allow them to draw any
of the money out to pay Moore q
Hutchins. The bank knew that
the commission company were only
entitled to their commission, and
in the face of all are still trying to
hold the money. Mr.. Hutchins,
before he left Omaha, commenced
suit against the bank, but Mr.
Moore thinks the matter will be
settled out of court.

THE FREE PRESS
GRANGEvILLE. IDAHO.
FRIDAY. AUGUST l6, 1893


This is our last chance to express
an opinion on the bond issue before
the election next Tuesday, and for
the last time we appeal to the OPP
ponents Gf any there be- of the
bond issue to consider the interests
of the county as paramount III the
matter. The facts in the case are
simple. If the bond issue is defeat
ed the county commissioners must
levy tax of ten mills on the dol
lar to redeem the outstanding war
rants in the order of their registry.
This redemption tax OF one per
cent. will realise $4,000, more or
less, every year. A large part of
the warrants issued in 1892 are
still outstanding and will be re-
deemed first. With four years
accrued interest to be added to the
principal we would only pay Oft
about $4,000 of these old warrants
every year, SO that it will take
about 20 years at our present val
uation to wipe out the debt. The
last warrants to be redeemed will
be nearly all interest.
The outstanding warrants bear
7 per cent. interest. The bonds
will bear not to exceed 6 per cent,
which is a great saving in itself.
But there is greater advantage
than that. If the bonds are voted
it will be possible to reduce the
rate of taxation, and still provide
for interest and sinking fund until,
with our natural increase of tax
able wealth and population, our
taxes will be so low that business
men, home seekers and investors
will be attracted here in such num-
hers as to still further tighten and
equalise the payment of the bonds
as they in part mature in 1908.
Under the new revenue law the
county government must be run
on a cash basis. 1t is likely that
tho tax levy for State and county
purposes " i'll be three per cent. for
the current year. This is very
high rate of taxation. If the bonds
are not voted the tax for this year
will be four per cent. No country
can stand up very long against
such a tax, even in boom years.
The delinquent tax list of last
year, with IA tax levy of only $3.50
on the 500 is an object lesson to
make opponents of bonds pause
and reflect. Farms and homes will
have to be mortgaged for taxes,
and the people will find out by
that time that they must either
bond or leave. Then, with property
everywhere mOrtgaged, and the
county going backward instead Of
forward, it would be difficult tC
float an Idaho county bond of any
kind at any price. And, as we
pointed out last week, there is also
the prospect of expensive litigation
to enforce payment of these war
rants.
All the possibilities of financia
trouble can be averted by voting
the bond issue. We believe that {
vote against the bonds is blow a
the prosperity of Idaho county
1t is certainly vote for highe
taxes,
