Our namesake in the legis-
lature has introduced a new
apportioning bill, which will
make the law making body of
Idaho containes, 40 members
on joint ballot insted of 20
as now located. The bill is a
bad one and we call on the
author to come down off the
perch. Bear Lakes members
ought to help smother the
proposed change.
The papers in Boise, favor
able to Dubois, unhesitatingly
say that there was barrels of
Hanna money used in the de-
feat of the silver champion.
Il this is SO, another argument
is lodged in favor of election
of senator's by direct vote
of the people. The EXAM.
INER, hesitates in believing,
that any promiscuous amount
of wealth was used in the de-
feat of Dubois. The demo-
Gratis were bound to support
a populist and they did.
Circumstances make the
man. Everyone will concede
this in the election of Mr..
Heitfeld. He himself never
dreamed of being United
States senator, until a queer
chain of circumstances sud
denly landed him in that high
office. But then its one OF
the chances offered to citi-
zens of this republic not found
elsewhere on the globe.
Everyone stands a chance.
especially before d state leg
islature.
The coming summer should
see the road To the National
Park put through. Montpel-
Ter needs those several thou
sands of dollars that tourists
would leave here annually on
their way to that famous land
of queer sights. Let's help
out the Star Valley and Jack
SONS Hole people and put a
good road into the Park.
Now is the time to move, and
the first step ought to be
made by calling a public
meeting TO consider the pro

Il
This method would work a
great saving to the state and
besides do away with the
restraint now held on legis-
lators who travel on a pass,
but who draw five cents a
mile out of the state treasury
for the ostensible purpose of
paying their fare' to and
from Boise. We commend it
to the Idaho legislature, and
if they are SO thoroughly i'm
bued with the economy idea
and really want to save the
people from needless expense,
let them enact a law carrying
the views here suggested.
That kind of economy will
count and besides the people
will know there is no chance
for "favors'' to be bestowed
in return for so valuable a
consideration as a pass. We
shall note if our legislators
will be equal to the occasion.

The Exemption Bill.

The bill which passed the house
Friday last, and which is likely
to become law, provides that the
following property shall be exempt
from taxation in Idaho
First-Church property under
$4,000 is exempt. Hospitals are
not exempted.
Second-Private libraries under
5000 only are exempted.
Third-Mining claims yielding
no revenue are exempted.
Fourth-All irrigating canals
ard bitches and water rights APP
purtenant thereto, where the
owner or owners Of said irrigating
canals and bitches use the water
thereof exclusively upon land or
lands owned by him, her or them.
It will be noticed that church
property to the amount Of $1,000
is exempt frcm taxation. All
valuation over and above that is
liable to assessment. In Bear
Lake, as well as FIN some other
southeastern counties, the Nor
mon church will feel the effects Of
this new law.
In this county, for instance,
there are some twenty wards each
of which owns land and meeting
house valued at $1,000 at the least.
Besides there is the stake taber-
nacle that would probably be as.
sessed at $4,000. Then the
church owns a large number Of
cattle, and did own considerable
land, and probably does yet. Il
also owns notes, monies and much
other property in Bear Lake
county, all of which will amount
to probably $4,000 at a reason
able assessed valuation. OF this
amount under the proposed Law
only $4,000 is exempt leaving per.
haps $4,000 on which taxes will
have to be paid. At our present
tax levy some $2100 revenue woult
be denied from this source fol
county and state purposes, to say
nothing of special school leyies
would amount to about 800 more
Then there is the stake academy
which is being built at Paris and il
to cost about 100000, which woule
probably be assessed at $4,000.
Not counting the latter it is easy
to see that the Mormon church
will have to pay out about $2S0(
for taxes alone.
No other church denomination
will be affected in Bear Lake
county, for none Of them, as far al
We know, own $4,000 worth 0
property. But the Latter Day
Saints will be particularly hard hi
if the bill becomes a law as il
likely will.

SOLD OUT.


Page Bros. Have Disposed of Their Lum-
Der Business. 81.
This week Page Bros. sold their
lumber business to p. p. Sawyer, late
of the5frm Of Houlton & Sawyer, Elk
River. The stock now on hand was
transferred and the land lying south Of
the railroad tracks was rented to Mr..
Sawyer for a term of years. The new
proprietor took possession yesterday,
and will personally supervise the bust
ness from now on. a.f-
E. IS. Page, the resident member Of
the firm, states that he will retain his
residence here, which will be accept
able news to the people of Anoka,,
among whom he has 50 long lived. Il
is understood, from unauthoritative
sources, however, that he will engage
in the}logging business on.a large scale
and that he already has a contract fol
cutting several million feet for a Du
luth firm.
Mr.. Sawyer is a practical lum herman
well versed in the details of the bust
ness. He is a very affable gentleman
and comes to Anoka with the yer,
7 highest recommendation as to re
liability, and business standing. 81,
announces that he will soon remove
his family from Elk River to Anok;
and will make his permanent residenc
here. -Anotd Her0ld.

TRESPASS.
The Farmers Forbid the Drivers to Re

The Farmers Forbid the Drivers to Re-
move Logs Which Left the Channel.
a sequel to the logoWners' proceed
ings against the farmers for theft of
logs last winter came to the surface
yesterday. The drivers have been
making very slow progress for several
weeks, and although the rear jam Of
the drive was below Princeton last
week, the crews are still within two
miles and a half Of the village. Mr..
Kennedy who has charge of Burch's
crew was seen by a Union representa-
tive yesterday. He said that the boys
thought they had had hard enough
time to drive without water but now a
new difficulty confronted them. The
farmers along the river had played q
high trump by refusing to allow the
.creWsto remove the logs which the
high water had carried out OF the
channel and deposited on their lands.
This Motif cation, Of course, is annoy
ing to the men, but they have decided
to disregard it and let the farmers
bring suit for damages in the courts.
If this warfare is continued for the re-
mainder of the drive the boys will fully
appreciate the tolerance with which
they were treated in Mile Laos county.
It will be interesting to watch the pro
|ceedings and view the final battle q
the lumbermen and the agricult ural-
lists. The farmers realize that this is
probably the last drive on the lower

Memorial Sunday.

There was a large gathering at Jes-
mer's opera house last Sunday morn
ing at which time union memorial
service {. was held for the departed
heroes Of the great civil war. The
meeting was opened by a prayer by
Rev. r. H. Roberts, while Rev. G. ID.
Moore preached an excellent sermon
taking Joshua, the great Jewish sol
der, as his subject. The sermon was
we'll conceived and many excellent pre-
cepts given during the hour. Particu-
lar emphasis was given the fact that
in a few short y ears the Joshuas OF the
republic will be gone and the duty OF
preserving the. flag will fall on the
shoulders Of the sons, who even now
are preparing to receive the sacred
trust. The music was furnished by q
large chorus and was excellent. Hugo
Rohrbach rendered a bass solo and
Miss Love and I. b. Burgan an excel
lent obligato.

DROPPED DEAD.
Mrs. Elmer Hatch Died Suddenly Sunday

Mrs. Elmer Hatch Died Suddenly Sunday
of Heart Failure.
Mrs. Elmer Hatch received a sudden
summons Sunday morning. She had
heard commotion in the poultry yard
and called to her husband who had not
yet awakened that there was ssome-
thing wrong with the chickens. He
was partly awake when he heard a
peculiar gasping sound and sprang
from his bed to find his wife lying UNI
conscious beside him. He set to work
Immediately to restore. her but she
died without regaining consciousness.
DIR. Tarbox was called and found
that her death had been caused by
heart trouble. While Mrs. Hatch had
never been a well woman--she was af-
ficted with dropsy --she had been APP
parentl "a her usual health the day
before. She had made no complaint,
at least, if she was feeling badly and
had done a big day s work.
She leaves a. husband and two child
rem to mourn her sudden demise, one
being a child of about eight years,
while the other is but three months
old.
The funeral occurred Tuesday after.
noon, the interment, being made in
Oak Knoll cemetery.

!. John McMinn was brought5to Prince;
ton Monday afternoon to answer to the
complaint Of criminal assault on Alma
Herbig. McMinn waived examination
and was held to. the grand jury. The
woman's husband claims to have
4 caught McMinn in the act and was at
tracted to the room by his wife's cries
for help. Mr.. McMinn says there was
i no outcry and no assault or resistance
i It is the general impression of those
who have heard the particulars thai
the whole thing is a Matchmaking
scheme It does.see that as robust {
young woman as the complaining wit
ness ought to be able to amply defent
herself against any attack made by
man Of Mr.. McMinn' s physique.
