Soon,

Clin-on, Jan. 26.7-A few weeks ago
George Durstein, son of wealthy
farmer living near Galena, shot
Amelia and Title Bergman because
the former did not seem to recipro-
cate his affections. Durstein was ar
rested and placed in jail. His father
called upon the young women and has
affected a reconciliation. He pro-
poses to deed Amelia a good farm
and give her $4,000 when she and his
son are married. The girl and her
mother have agreed to the proposal

The Tax Levy.

will be glad to learn OF the mater
ial reduction for this year made by
the county commissioners in the
tax levy. 1t amounts to $3.50 on
each 500, as against 50. 10 for
1900 The. levy for school pnr-
poses has been increased over the
highest amount ever before levied.
The minimum tax that can be
levied for school purposes is five
mills, and the maximum is ten
mills Heretofore. the minimum
rate has always prevailed, and we
do not think that there will be any
kicking because of the increase in
the levy for this purpose. At the
rate old Idaho county is settling
up, and with increased improves
ments constantly going into oul
mining camps and the prospect o
additional railroad milage soon t.

teachers in the Grangeville public
schools were examined and granted
certificates, and of course, the law
having been complied with, there
il no further trouble. 1t has been
supposed that Independent school
districts were exempt from thu

other states, regardless Of whether
they held certificates in this state
or not. Hereafter, all the teacher

Some Good Advice.

There is not an agricultural dis
trict anywhere that can beat the
great Ca,nas Prairie country for
productivity and yet there is not a
section of the west with poorer
transportation facilities. A stand
ing agreement between two rail-
roads not to build has immeasnr-
ably retarded development and il
has also created an opportunity for
South Idaho and southern Idaho
railways. The construction de-
partment of the Pacific & Idaho
Northern is being treated to an OBJ.
ject lesson: Grain that costs the
company $l65 per hundred at
Weiser sells on Camas Prairie for
IS cents. The cost of transporta-
ton to the raiload is SO great that
farmers on Camas Prairie prefer
to use their grain in the form Of
hay rather than incur the expense
of threshing and hauling.
This is only an instance. The
few miles that separate Grange
Vile and Council, when traversed
by the P. & l N. will divert the
entire business of tina. incompara-
bic district, mercantile, agricult-
ute and mining this way.
Camas Prairie and South Idaho
must be connected by railroad. -
