Some party got too hilarious Sunday
night and imagined he needed some Of
Werneth's first class stimulant. The
spasm struck him at an unreasonable
hour when the house was closed. In the
absence of more regular means he adopted
the primitive style of kicking the door
open Sheriff Kerfoot happened, as u.s.
ual, to be the right man in the right
place, and introduced the gentleman to
the keeper of the baslile who delivered
him over to the tender mercy of Justice
Newman. The caliph wisely thought
that seclusion and quiet was needed in
his case so he gave him ten days in the
shade and five dollars fine just for in
stance We did not learn the gentleman's
name. That same night some one who
evidently is not posted on the business
habits of Korup, the butcher, thought
they would check up his cash account
for him and used the same means Of ac-
cess to the shop as was used on Werneth s
place The money drawer was broken
open. hut he found nit Such little ep-
isodes as these have have had the effect
to bring out quite number of sbolguns,
and skillfully used are very soothing in

The American Loan and Trust Co., OF New
York has fIoated bonds for the construction Of a
smelter in the Seven Devils mining district The
exact location of the works has not been deter
mined The significant feature of this enterprise
is the fact that company so strong should be-
come interested in one of our interior undevel-
oped mining districts. The American Loan and
Trust Co. is of the strongest industrial or
ganization in the United States. 1t controls the
destiny of some Of the greatest railroad systems
in the country.
A smelter in the Seven Devils means enorm-
Gus freight traffic. The shipment Of fuel into
the camp to supply a smelter is only little less
than the shipment out of the ore treated. In
fact it would stimulate the productions of the
camp SO much that it would tax great Transport
taton line to full capacity to supply any camp
that would justify the erection and operation OF
a smelter
The machinery for this smelter is al
ready on the way here, and with the pro-
posed railroad in operation Weiser is the
the best possible location for it, situated
on a main line with access to all other
mining regions. Necessary ores for flux-
ing, ETC.. could be easily obtained, and is
also the nearest to the present fuel sup.
ply, and the necessary grounds would moi
cost the company to exceed one dollar.

Among domestic animals the one most

tiles of the west and south ii is given the
more eloquent name OF burro, but in all
climes and under all conditions, regard
less of nomenclature, it still remains the
same patient accomplishing ANIMAL only
displaying emotion when wrought upon
by some superhuman influence and then
the unexpected happens and the world is
filled with amazement. Even to this day
men read with wonder that account of
Balaams adventure when his lrusty ass
ran away and jammed him against the
wall. The very fact of his running
away is wonderful. So phenomenal was
the occurrence that the event was deemed
worthy of miraculous manifestation, and
the ass was allowed to open his mouth
and apologize for his unusual conduct in
good classic language of the day. Hon.
Frank Harris is the proud possessor of
one of these trusty animals. He has him
now for the reason that no amount of
persuasion or deceit on his part can in
duce any one to accept him as gift;
(this is strictly privately In alluding to
the matter Frank often, with tears in his
eyes, when attempting to work him off
on some friend, will eulogize his noble
qualities, how his children love him, and
that only dire poverty and lack of means
to give him the tender care he merits in
duces him TO part with SO faithful and
servlceable a friend. On these occasions
the ASS is generally present and the deep
feeling displayed by both show that the
owner aud the ASS have many common
characteristics But the fraud is now
exposed Monday, Franks two bows,
Billy and Jim arose early in the morn
ing and harnessed their ass to the cart
and few hours later it could be noticed
that they had made some progress aud
were approaching the bridge that crosses
the canal near the Williams ranch Just
here something occurred. neither Billy or
lin know what it was. But, when A. b.
Anderson came along II few minutes later
he found two boys, cart and harness
mixed up in wire fence in very dill
apidated condition. The ruin was COM
plete, everything was demoralized except
the quadruped. Placid and serene he
was eating the scattered remains of Billy
and Jim's lunch. and getting ready to sit
down in the fence corLer for Il smoke.
The boys were delivered in town soon af-
ter and put in the shop for repairs. The
cut on Blly's head could have been long
er if his head had been bigger, and Jim
could have been scratched up more than
he was if the hide had not played out; as
it is the boys are alright, but look like
mummies and the remarks that passed
between them in which jackass, axe and
pitchfork were frequently mentioned,
would lead one to think that they in
tended to farm on large scale Frank

trains come looking for victim, but this
will no doubt protect strangers from his
sinister designs

Queer Do,ngs.

The reports from Payette in regard to
cause surprise and amazement at the
amount of ignorance that has been dis
played and the reckless disregard of per-
sonal interest manifested. By a series of
false representations fully eighty teams
have been drawn to the town on assur-
ances that work would be given them on
the W. & S. r. R., when, as a matter of
fact, the company has no interest what
ever in the town and there is no possible
chance for any work IN that locality in
this line. An attempt was made to do
something and under the direction of
Joseph Johnston work was begun on the
y. P. rlght-of-way. AS soon as the
proper officials of that line were notified,
notice was served, stopping further in
fringement on the railroad property, and
the trespassers decided to put all earth
back into it's original position. An at
tempt was then made to enter on the do
main of Mr.. Whitney, but the presence
vi that gentleman put prompt qulebuS
on such vandalism, Mr. Johnston con-
Guiding that the funeral would be alto
gether too personal an affair to be strictly
agreeable. AS the parties have not the
semblance ola legal right-no survey, no
engineer, no franchise-their action is
worse than idioIic; in fact, 1t indicates
lunacy and cannot be accounted for on
any other ground. The Payette indie
pendent, in very sensible article, calls
for the good people to put stop to such
damaging transactions. The teams and
other laborers who have consreg lied
there have only met disappointment The
unreasonable conduct of Joseph Johnston
borders so closely on criminal tnal he had
better look u little out

H., "Chief," says: I'VE won't keep house
without Dr. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many Others but never
got the true remedy until we used DR..
Kings New Discovery. No other remedy
can take its place in our home, as in it we
have certain and sure cure for coughs
colds. whooping cough, ETC." 1t is idle
to experiment with other remedies, even
if they are urged on you rs just as good
as DR.. Kings New Discovery. They are
not as good, because this remedy has a
record OF cures and besides is guaranteed.

This Years Lan, Valuations.

In the valuation of lands the state board
OF equalization has made but little change
from the valuations of last year. and
thirty-three counties are left Just as re-
turned by the assessors. The greatest re-
duction made from the returns was in
Stanley, which was reduced 40 per cent.
from return of $4.25 per acre; while the
greatest raise was made in Grant, which
was raised 35 per cent. from the return of
$3.25 per acre. The highest assessment per
acre for any county is in Lawrence, which
is placed at si3.47 per acre, which
is on account of the mining claims
which come i'll under the head
ing of real estate. The lowest price placed
OH any lands assessed is Sl.sS per acre in
Nowlin. East of the river the highest
price is S77.S7 in Clay, and the lowest 50 IS
i'll Hyde. The lands in counties in the
southern part of the state range from 81 81
i'll Clay to $40 in bon lIomme. In the

property at Tarrytown for $350,000, be-
cause lie considers the assessment for taN-
alton outrageously high.
A great number of wealthy people have
summer homes at 'Tarrytown. The Rock
cfcllers, John ID. and William. believe
they have been especially marked us vie
tins by the local assessors. Last year
William Roclelcller's place WAS taxed on
q valuation of Si,l00.OOo. The purchase
price, according to Mr.. Rockefcllcr's
agent, was $l25.00O, and the Improvements
cost about $350.O0o. OF course. last wears
assessment was considered excessive by
Mr.. Rockefeller, considering the amount
the place cost him and he appealed to the
courts. In spite OF the fact that the 81 ,100,-
600 assessment was being fought as too
high, the village assessors calmly pro-
ceeded TO more than double the valuation,
this year fixing it at s., 5333,S05.
