Affects washington County.

Washington County is considerably
affected by the latest destruction of
good law.
Another law that formed part of
the statutes OF Idaho was put to sleep
by Judge Stewart in the district
court at Boise City. The act provid-
ing for the assessment and collection
of taxes on live stock has gone to
Join the fee bill. In the case of Will
liam Howell against the county COM
missioners of Ada county the
court gave a decision for the de-
PENDANTS by holding the law under
which the action was brought un-
constitutional.
The Legislative act provided for the
assessment and collection of taxes
upon live stock that we're moved from
one county to another and made pre-
rata in proportion to the length oI
time the stock were kept in eacl
county.

Port Valdere, Alaska. Feb. 9, '9S
We are landed Plenty of wood and
water and fifteen feet of snow down tc
the waters edge. The country is very
rough and craggy as far back as we know
any thing about 1t is claimed to be so
miles across to Copper river though we
haven't seen any man who has ever been
through to the river. There is a glacier
to cross that lays right before our eyes
that is 28 miles across, without wood or
rest There are about $50 men and wo-
men landed here waiting to start across
for Copper river. You would be sur
prised to see the amount OF stuff piled
up here to sled across, and where we are
going, no man seems to know, except to
Copper river, neither does any one know
sure whether we can get through or not,
though we all think we will. Some of
the crowd has been here two months,
but we will start out pretty soon, then
good bye for awhile. There were two
men shot and one hung by judge lynch
pretty soon after the shooting, here in this
camp about four weeks ago. A row
with partners over their ontfit caused
the trouble. | am knocked out for few
days though think | will be all right
Drattu coon not NV lxnaa hurt vestar
day while handling our freight. 1t is
very sore to day. am in camp toda,
while the boys are moving camp five mile
back across the ice. 1t is not cold her
on the coast, tho the wind comes through
the near way from the glacier with
whoop. 1t is one huge country, though
we are good for nugget think, lot
of fun any way. s. M. TAYLOR.

Our school at Great Bend has
closed and our teacher, Scott Jack
son, formerly of Indiana, not desir-
ing to be idle has accepted a position
with Frank Froman on the reservoir
improvements.
Guy Froman, who has been attend
ing an eastern college has returned
home, but will return in the fall to
pursue his studies. He only remain
ed idle two days, then rolled up his
sleeves and went to work like hero.
Many OF the laterals in west Prov
ers and east Bent counties are so deep
that they are dangerous being along
side the public road Every one that
is liable>to wash ont deep should be
damned at proper distances, and
check the erosion before it becomes
unmanageable.
The fence man has erected a fine
fence around five acres of alfalfa for
William Martin, and is now putting
one up for Mr., Ericsson. These gen
tlemen believe there is money in
hogs, and they are less trouble than
cattle, as they need but little atten-
ton during the summer Others
contemplate building at once, as a
first class 8 wire 33 inch hog fence
can be put up cheap.
The road bed in many places is
being gradually reduced by careless
farmers allowing the laterals to be-
come clogged and by that agency
water is thrown out over the roads,
giving employment to our road su-
pervisors the entire year, and caus-
ing an increase in taxes 1t seems
be no one's dnty to put stop to this
nuisance. Often loaded teams are
compelled to go miles out of their
way to avoid mud hole, and often
it takes hours to pry loaded wagon
out of the mud. How long will this
continue?

ABOUT FODDER CORN.
An EnsiiaEe Pit, This Writer Thinks,
Ii Its Proper and Most Profit
able Destination.

With present knowledge of the
profits of winter dairying II hardly
pays TO put surplus cornfodder into
shocks TO be cured. An ensiage pit
is it's proper destination, as thus tho
fodder next winter can be made to
yield you twice the amount of milk
that il would IL fed in dry state.
] am well acquainted with an ener-
getic progressive dairyman who raised
one of the finest fields OF fodder corn L
ever saw grow He had heavily ma
nured his land 70 start with, and then
cultivated the growing corn so assidu-
ously that IL had all developed into
strong, vigorous canes. He fed out
perhaps a third Of this noble field be-
fore frost threatened, and then TO my
surprise cut and shocked the remain
der for dry feeding in winter. BY so
doing, instead OF converting IL into en-
silage, he lost at least 80 per cent. in it's
feeding value, as viewed from posi-
bic milk-yielding standpoint. 1t was
an illustration Il dairyman being
partly wise and partly foolish.
l earnestly enjoin all dairymen not
10 waste their cOrnfodder this fall.
There is too much good milk encased
in every stalk and leaf, which needs
only intelligent. economical feeding
TO conduct il into the milking pail.
Many people have IN unwarranted
prejudice against enslage-
milk on account Of its flavor. II they
would aerate their milk thoroughly,
as all milk should be treated anyway,
this Objectionable flavor would be
largely II not entirely eliminated.
Do not let a question OF possible milk
favor deter you from putting your sur
plus corn fodder down In ensilnge.--

GAGE AND THE BONDS.
Successful Handling OF the Popuinf
Loan by the Treasury De-
pnrtmcnt.

No doubt some thanks are due to
the treasury department for the sue
cess Of the popular loan" idea in
connection with the new bond issue,
as disclosed by the process OF the al
lotting OF the securities.
To be sure, the intent OF the law is
plain enough. 1t reads:
THAT the bonds authorized by this seq
ton shall be offered at par in a popular
loan under such regulations, prescribed by
the secretary OF the treasury as will give
opportunity 10 the citizens OF the United
States to participate In the subscriptions
20 such loan, and IN allotting the said bonds
the several subscriptions OF individuals
shall be first accepted and the subscrip-
lions for the lowest amounts shall be first
allotted"
This is quite clear, but, of course,
there are two ways of obeying the
law, and that the secretary stuck
firmly to the spirit OF the act instead
OF contenting himself with keeping
fairly within its letter merely did
much to make the popular feature a
success.
4 great many big fiscal institutions
that should have been in better bust
ness procured dummy subscriptions
In small amounts 10 the aggregate OF
millions. The conscientious scrutiny
of the department prevented the sue
cess of such subterfuges in many in
stances.
Some So, 100000 OF the bonds have
already been delivered TO over $780, 900
individual subscribers. Many Of these
bonds, il is true, have since been sold
TO banks, but the individuals got the
premium. And after making due al
lowance for such sales II still appears
that many millions Of the new bonds
will go permanently into the hands OF
small investors. The treasury depart
ment has faithfully discharged Its
duty TO the people in their behalf

ROADS AND VEHICLES.
The Relation They Hear 90 Zach
other Explained I'm "a Way That
should Garry Conviction.

Machinery is always constructed
with reference to the conditions under
which IL is to be used, and its separate
parts are Of such material and
strength that no one part will unduly
wear or injure any other part. The
plan OF the deacon, in constructing
his celebrated chaise, Is followed as
far as may be, and each part is made
Just as strong as the rest.
The American Machinist calls at
tention TO this principle and shows
that IL is not observed in building
wagons, these vehicles not being con-
structed with reference TO their rela-
tions TO the road. "A wagon" Ii says
ais machine for the transportation of
