IN IDAHO.

A convention Of the County Assessors Of
Idaho concluded its lsbors ct Boise last
Tuesday. A great many interesting CUES.
tons arose during the day. The Assessors
determined to agree upon rates for certain
classes Of property. This raised the ques-
tion of the legality Of the State boards sit
ting with them. this boards duties being
those Of equalizers. 1t was determined IL
would not be legal, and the joint meeting
was thereupon adjourned, the Assessors
continuing their work in separate session,
IL being agreed that the proceedings should
be reported 10 the State board.
The Assessors agreed upon rates Of as
sessment Of some Glasses Of property. The
agreement Is not binding, but every Asses
sor. with the exception Of Howell Of Bear
Lake, feels in duty bonnd 70 abide by the
decision OF the convention. Mr.. Howell
objected to the rate on sheep, and announ-
oed be would be governed on all questions
by his own Judgment. He was reminded
that he would be subject to criminal pros
ecution II he assessed property below its
value, and that II he assessed sheep lower
than the figures In adjoining counties 10
would be likely 10 make q case against
him.
The Assessors arrived ct the following
undertaking respecting assessments:
Stock or range sheep 10 be assessed al 50
. head, yearlings 70 be included except
possibly in cases where the band 10 made
up wholly or mostly Of yearlings.
Stock or range cattle to be assessed at
s22 q head, yearlings to be included ex-
oeps possibly in cases where the band 10
made up wholly or mostly Of y~earlings.
Stock or range horses to be assessed Al
S. a head. Other Glasses Of cattle or
horses are to be assessed on the basis Of
the figures given.
Merchandise to be assessed on the basis
Of the latest inventory, with 10 per cent
deducted.
The assessment Of real estate was left
TO the individual judgment Of the As
SCISSORS.
1t was agreed that lambs cannot be as
sessed until they are ~yearlings, as they are
not born when the work Of assessment
begins. As yearlings they will come under
the So rate. There will also be q vast in
crease in the number of sheep, as the As.
SCISSORS will be obliged to put the number
at what they believe 20 be right, irrespeo-
tive Of returns made by owners. One
Assessor remarked that be would charge
up 81 least AZ, 200 head 10 . certain owner
in his county who has been getting of
with IL, 200.
II Is believed the assessed valuation OF
the State will be doubled under the new
rules.

The Salt Lake Tribune says there 70 an
intimation that the smelter combine pro-
poses 10 advance the price OF silver ten

silver ten per cent and hold ID there,
make the long arguments Of the enemies
of the country who have been telling MS
that the matter Of prices is controlled
solely by the immutAble law Of supply
and demand, seem very sick and silly!
II is just possible that this smelser
combine may prove to be the entering
wedge toward splitting the gold theories
ell asunder. There is no doubt about
the ability Of the combine to advance the
price Of silver ten per cent if they please

matter clearly and aot upon it!

IDEAL SITES FOR HOMES
Montana Addition to Missoula
Has Many Advan tages.

gins Estate

Missoula, lee. 16.-Missoula having
assumed proportions as an educational
center, many people from outside cities
are establishing themselves in homes in
the Garden City for the purpose of TAX
ing advantage of the state university;
and, in looking about for locations, the
almost unanimous choice seems to be
in what is known as the Montana addi-
ton to the city of Missoula. This is
a beautiful tract of 100 acres, living d.
rectly between the city of Missoula and
the university. Bordering on the south
bank of the Missoula river, it affords
abundant opportunity for drainage: the
soil being sravelly loan, nice lawns of
grass and yards of fruits are speedily
gotten.
This valuable piece of property be-
longs to the Higgins estate, which is
under the direct management of F. c.
webster, trustee, in whose absence the
property can be shown by Frank G.
Higgins. This is the most desirable
building location, according to the re-
cent improvements that have been
made. The late construction of the main
building OF the university and its out
buildings. and the location Of the uni
Vers1ty a the extreme eastern end of
this property, makes it the only feasible
place for people to live who desire to be
near the university and the city at the
same time. At least 50 families have
purchased locations and begun the cree
ton of modern houses on this property
recently.
This is but a small feature of the pros
poets or Missoula for the coming year.

ing collected and sent to the shops at
st. Paul for renovation and repair.
This rolling stock was the most attrac-
tive of any that the company had on
its line.
The new class Y engines are
more than meeting the high expecta-
lions that We're entertained as to their
work. The trains that they haul and
the time that they make are fully up to
requirements and in some cases are OK
ceeding the guarantee.
One of the most talked about matters
in railway circles recently is the much
discussed statement of General Man
ager kendrck in his annual report
that it is a mistake for railway COM
pany company to sacrifice it's motive
power and its general efficiency in a
mad race for making time with freight
over its line. His argument that what
the roads ought to do is to run their
freight trains so as to handle freight at
a minimum of expense rather than a
minimum of time seems to be meeting
with general approval. 1t is what a lot
of railway men have thought for a long
time, but none of them have dared ux-
press the thought.
Supervisor Palmer of the bridge and
building department has had one of the
busiest seasons in the history of his de-
partment and he has a lot of work cut
out for the winter. The new steel
bridge across Fish creek is now under
way and will take the major portion of
the winter.
The laps will probably be retained
for another season. They are said to be
satisfactory to the company and their
work this year has been good.
The sun cure service continues to at
tract attention by reason of it's novelty.
1t is one of the best advertisements
that the road ever had.

Missoula, Dec. 16.--During the past
fortnight the heads of the local depart
ments of the railway service have been
busy with the preparation of their esti-
mates of the work that will be neces-
sary for the next year. This list of es-
Inmates includes the desires improve

Will be necessary to insure the best

carried out, make a very decided i'm
provement in the handling of business
on different parts of the division. On
the Rocky Mountain division the gener-
al improvements in track and roadbed
have been carried further during the
past year than on any other portion Of
the Northern Paciffc's lines. 1t will,
therefore, be possible next year to di-
rect more of the attention of the track
department to the Improvement Of

minor but very important pieces Of
work that are essential to the success

The cutting down Of small grade, for
instance, between Silver Bow and Butte
Will do away with the use of one help
er engine that is in almost constant
service there. This is but a single in
stance, but it goes to show how much
difference little work in this line will
make.
1t does not follow, however, that be-
cause these estimates have been made
by the local department officers they
will be carried out and adopted There
is big red pencil at the ST. Paul end
of the line that is in the hands of an
active and strong man and whenever
he feels in need of exercise he takes a
run through the division estimates
with his pencil and when he gets
through he feels relieved, but the list
of estimates looks as If 1t had fallen
under the trucks of blk steel box car.
For this reason it will not be known
for several weeks just what changes
and improvements the railway COM
pany contemplates in this part of the
country for next year. 1t is certain,
however, that the work will be extern
sive and along the same lines that have
been followed during the past three or
four seasons of activity that have pre-
vailed here. The heavy part of this
work is finished, but there yet remains

Is Caused by Drinking the Product of TIL 9
Garden City Brewery.
Among the many improvements that
have been made in Missoula this season
in the building line that which has been
made by the Garden City Brewery
ranks well up toward the head Of the
list. The plant of this extensive es-
adjustment has been more than
doubled in capacity and is now one of
the largest establishments of it's kind
in Montana. This increase in the ca
pacity of the plant was made neces-
sary by the growing demand for Gar
den City beer, which is now sold in all
the towns and camps in Western Mon
tana and Northern Idaho
The product of the Garden City Brew
cry has won its way into public favor
on its merits. 1t is, in the first place,
absolutely pure, and that commends it
to all consumers. 1t is brewed by the
most modern appliances and by skilled
union labor and it's basis is the purest
hops and barley. A complete ice plant
forms prominent part of the estab-
lishment and renders it impossible for
any impurities to creep in during the
cooling process.
Joe Steiger, who is the proprietor and
manager of the brewery, is well and
popularity known throughout Western
Montana. His geniality and his thor
ough knowledge Of the business give
him firm hold upon the business IN
his line. Wherever he sells Garden City
beer once he has a regular customer
The beer sells itself. When you drink

MINERAL LAND COMMISSION.
Its Work for Last Season-Some Contests
Made

Made.
Missoula, Dec. 16.-The work of the
mineral land commission for the year
closed the first of this month and there
win be no more active work by the
commission till the beginning of next
spring. The work of the commission
this year was principally in the west
ern part of it's district, west of Plains
and along the mountain valleys that tie
between that place and the western
boundary OF the state. Many townships
were examined and classified and the
reports of the commission are now
with the interior department.. There
nave already been some contests filed
by the railway company against the
classification of these lands as reported
by the commission and the hearing of
these cases is now pending. The region
that has been the field of operations OF
the board this year embraces some OF
the most important mineral and timber
land in the state and this makes the
result of the classification contests OF
vital Importance to the people interest
ed in the land involved.
There is heard from these interested
people the same complaint that was
made by the parties who were affected
year or two ago by the classification
of lands in the districts that lie nearer
to Missoula. The contests which are
made by the railway company can only
~ icniSlC1 Ny tiie pCppit WIZ are Ctll~
cerned in the lands over which the
contests arise. There is nobody else to
take up the fight and there Is no pro-
vision made for meeting the expense Of
the contest from the peoples side. On
the contrary, the railway company has
at its disposal plenty of funds and
large number of witnesses who can be
relied upon to back up the position that
is taken by the company. This means
that the interests of the parties con-
cerned will be unprotected unless they
themselves take up the matter and at
their own expense. This Is one of the
unfortunate and unreasonable features
of the mineral land law, but it is one
of the conditions that exists and no
amount of argument as to its injustice
will change it. If the people want to
protect their rights they must do it
themselves. The government will not
This particularly applies a the present
time to the Libby mining country and
its people. They are directly concerned
in some of the contests that the rail-
way company has instituted recently
but unless they take UP the fight ac-
lively the company will win. 1t is hard
luck, but it is the only thing to do.
