The new Talkingtonian tactics in

The latest social stir was a dance

The Free Press published last
week an alleged assessment foll,
which is misleading and calculated
| to be misleading. It was garbled
in order to deceive the people and
reflect on our assessor; but it fails
of its purpose. The fact remains
that with the reduction on cattle of
from $18 to $15, and on sheep from
$500 to $1.65, and a reduction on
land of 3 per cent, made by the
state board of equalization, the
roll of this county for 1898 includ-
ing subsequent, is $1,010,000 in
stead of $975,874, as the "Unreli-
able has it. Many people are
wondering why such statements
should be made when they are
known to be false.

Wheat Weights.

The attention Of planters is
called tothe fact that great dis
torepancy exists in the weight per
bushel of wheat grown in different
localities. The Palouse wheat
weighs very low this year, some
times as little as 50 and 54 pounds
per bushel, while Potlatch and res
ervation wheat runs exceptionally
high, frequently reaching 60 and
62 pounds to the bushel. The dis.
crepancy averages therefore some
where around 10 per cent, and is a
serious consideration with growers.
They should require returns for the
identical wheat they deliver, other
wise the excess weight of the Nez
Perce wheat will 60 to make up the
deficit in the weight of the Palouse
wheat.--Lewistown Tribune.

not be recruited from the national guard
as were the first 125,0 600. but the enlist
ments will be open. The regulations re-
ferred TO in the proclamation under which
the enlistments will be conducted have
not yet been prepared and it is thought
that there is no occasion for hurry in
this matter until the full draft called for
in the first proclamation has been secured
It is further stated that the decision to
issue an additional call for volunteers was
not reached until the cabinet meeting yes
terday afternoon. The call. it is sup
posed here, indicates a determination TO
press the campaign actively and vigor-
ously from now on.
