ness of more than 6-l0 per cent.
Rio Grande county paid no atten-
tion to this wise constitutional pro-
vision, but plunged into debt far
in excess of this Limitation, issuing
warrants at a discount until the
county became hopeles-ly involved.
Then 1t WAS sought To save the
taxpayers from large illegal in-
debtedness. But the records have
been kept so loosely aud the at-
torneys employed by the county
have been unable to cope with the
talent employed by tho warrant
syndicate, and the result is that
nearly all of the so-called illegal
warrants have been gotten into
final judgments from which there
is no appeal. The Judgment in
debtedness is too heavy to be paid
by taxation within IA reasonable
time and hence, to save interest, il
seems To be best to put them into
five per cent bonds payable after
ten years at the option OF the
county. The Judgments draw
eight and ten per cent interest.

The Tax Cases.

The appeal to the District Court from

important cases of the term just closed.

as fixed by the assessor and the Board OF
Equalization by appeal to the court.
Messrs. Halsey, Culver & Johnson and
County Attorney Danford represented
the county, and J f. Babb appeared for
the plaintiff.
The Court overruled the general de-
murrer on the ground of jurisdiction at
the beginning. Later in the cases kin
dred point was raised in the form of an
objection. Mr.. Johnson contended that
questions of value of property for pur-
poses of taxation could not be determined
by the courts, that this function belonged
10 the legislative department OF the State
and not to the judiciary. This construc-
uoh OF the law was accepted by the Court
and the objection was sustained This
practically ended the suit so far as the
district court is concerned. The case will
DC appealed. The lawyers say this is q
new law issue in Idaho and if Judge
Steele Is sustained by the higher court il

Inc suit grew out of the increased valu
alton placed on stocks of merchandis,

the Snake river region is scanned with
ledges that bear copper, gold and silver.
We had however, but fairly entered the
mineral belt. " hen we reached our des-
tiuation. Very hpe samples Of ore were
brought aboard by the prosreetors whom
we found in camp at Wild Goose Rapid.
Their stories and the rich ore exhibited
caused some excitement, and the captain
was implored to remain over night to
afford an opportunity to examine the
prospects.
The Journey ended at the foot of Wild
Goose Rapid. This barrier TO our pro-
gress consists OF a narrow defile through
which the volume of Snake rivers food
rushes in a mad torrent The encroach-

ridge Of white, whipping waves that rises
in the middle of the stream four feet
above waters edge at the beach. Con-
tending currents are thrown into the
middle of the channel with such fore G
that the waves moan, heave and beat like
sea monsters a, war with orly veil of
foam to hide their hideous forms. The
great volume Of water is not only thrown
into a narrow space by the rugged bowl
ders, but a fall of about five feet in 2oc
occurs at this point. These conditions
create force that is tremendous. 1t is

The City Council met i'll regular ses-

collected to the amount of 5000.
Justice Sweet reported twenty trials
and S73 collected as fines. II
The treasurer's report was read and

Mr.. Oleson OF Palouse, an agent for

city by this means.
Mr.. Cottier asked the council to con-
slider n system Of sanitation for the
city. The subject was referred to the
health committee to be considered at
called meeting on Tuesday afternoon.
| Health officer Johnson made lengthy |
report on the subject of the prevailing |
smallpox scare. He recommended that
the newspapers publish full reports of
the extent of the disease in the city. He
advised that the conditions did not JUS
tify the closing of the public schools.
The conditions were not alarming the
disease was not epidemic. He said there
were six cases i'll the pest house and two
rivate houses were quarantined. The
cases of disease occurring in the city were
generally from the ont side. There was
10 probability of the disease becoming
epidemic at this time as it is we'll under
r control. The only precaution necessary
was hearty cooperation on the part OF
the people with the city officials and a
strict compliance with the vaccination
ordinance DR.. Shaft argued that there
was no cause for alarm, that the schools
should not be closed only close vigilance
and strict quarantine measures were lie
manded at this time.
The council however passed a resolu-
tIon calling attention Of the board OF
= health to the existence of the disease in

heroic measures to secure immunity from

and tie vote resulted. The mayor,
