Taxpayers in this locality have
considerable curiosity to know
what the county assessor is going
to do to them this year. A new
law passed by the last legislature
provides that property snail be as
sessed at its. real value; and that
the maximum rate of taxation shall
not be over $50 per hundred for
state and county purposes. The
rate last year in Kootenai county
was $3.50. 1t will be necessary to
raise the assessed valuation Of the
county over double to produce the
same amount Of revenue. We do
not see how it can be done IN this
county.
MIR. A. f. Bunting has been APP
pointed road overseer of the road
district on the south side of the
river. The appointment is a good
one, and now, with a good road
overseer, an effort should be made
to get the road opened out over the
hill past Galena Landing, instead
of going around the "point of rocks,
where the road leads now, as the
latter route is obstructed to travel
by the back-water from the lake
every year. 1t would not require a
great expense to open up the road
indicated, and it would be vast
improvement over the present road.
The continued cold weather
keeps the river down to a very low
stage and causes much apprehension
about high water later in the sea
son. 1t is feared that the weather
will turn very warm and bring all
the water down at one time. There
is really nothing in the situation,
however, To cause alarm. We recall
that in '92 the river did not begin
to raise, to speak of, until about the
2Oth Of May, and that year the
river was the lowest in June and
July we have ever observed it.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Admiral Dewey cabled
to the Navy Department to-day that he had
sent the gunboats Concord and Petrol TO llOilO
to cooperate with the cruiser Baltimore in sup
port OF the Army expedition. These vessels are
the lightest draught vessels in his feet. but have
powerful batteries Of 6-inch rifles and rapid fire
guns, which make them among the most useful
vessels in the fleet After they are no longer
needed at Iloilo they will continue to cruise
among the southern islands of the archipelago.
where American Jurisdiction has not yet been
established
Confidence is expressed at the War Depart
ment that General Miller will land all the troops
from his transports by the end OF this week II
has been decided that close confinement OF the
troops shpboard for a week would have
a damaging effect their health and spirits
which cannot be permitted, and therefore Cen
eral Otis will set a limit on the pacific negota-
tions with the insurgents there.
With the display OF force that the Army and
Navy will be able to make in the neighborhood
Of Iloilo by the end Of this week It Is thought
that the natives will abandon their show Of
resistance and welcome the soldiers. In any
event. however. according to the present under
standing the troops will be landed without
further delay.

VIEWS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE FILIPINO

VIEWS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE FILIPINO
JUNTA AT HONG KONG
Hong Kong. Jan. 5.-Leading representatives
Of the Filipino Junta In Hong Kong in the
course Of an interview with the correspondent
OF The Associated Press to-day declared that
the serious crisis In the Philippines is due TO
what they designate a. overt unfair treatment
Of the Filipinos by the United States" They
said that. despite the known fact that the whole
Of the Nisayas group was in possession Of the
Filipino forces. General Otis was ordered to
take possession OF the entire archipelago. and
dispatched troops and warships to the Southern
Visayas. The Fipnos. according to the Junta
representatives. are determined 10 prevent the
landing Of the Americans at Iloo and may. as
n last resort, destroy tho city for strategcal
purposes
The Junta insist that a rupture Of the friendly
relations now existing between the Filipino
National Government" and the American EX-
ecutve is imminent. and that hostilites are
probable. unless what they characterize as the
unreasonable. unfair and overbearing policy Of
the Americans" is modified. They say the Fill
pnos would deeply regret such rupture, but
would accept it as inevitable"
In concluding the interview the spokesman OF
the Junta representatives, said:
'1he flnplnos appeal 10 the American people
to uphold the rights OF mankind and 10 avoid
boodshed. assuring the Americans Of our de-
sire to complete friendly settlement through
an impartial commission Of inquiry.
THE Filipinos Loyalty supported the Ameri-
cans against the common enemy. and they now
look to the American Nation to fulfil the prom
ises made to Aguinaldo at Singapore before he
, proceeded to assist Admiral Dewey. All the
Filipinos ask is the truest and best rights of
mankind"
