Cannot Change IL.

Washington. Oct. 2s-Secretary Wilson
brought up at the cabinet session the fact
that Blanco is still charging $40 a hundred
for beef cattle going into Cuban ports
controlled by the Spaniards. While the
United States Is admitting beef cattle free
of duty to ports controlled BY American
officials. The abinet concluded that II has
no power at present TO change this state
OF affairs. and that Blanco must bear the
responsibility. AS soon as the United
States takes possession of various ports,
however. this will be changed. Some OF
the ports near Havana will be open to the
free entry Of beef cattle and other things
that will result in benefit to Havana.

Decrease.

Since 1893 nearly the whole
of the agricultural settlements
on Craigs mountain has been
patented, and the reservation
opened and a vast amount of
mining machinery brought
into Idaho county, besides the
value of improvements on
mining claims and in the
towns. The assessment roll
of Idaho county for 1898
ought to show a total val
uation of $2,ooo,ooo worth OF
property.
If this were the fact the tax
levy instead of being $4.os
would be $2.35 on each $Ioo.
Let the taxpayers digest these
facts and prescribe the remedy
