GARNEILL.

Arthur B~rissette, the harness maxi
er, is working day and night in order
to catch up with his orders.
Mr.. Ike B%rewington and wife, the
parents of Mrs. Ed. Beach, are over
from Irene on a visit to their newly
married daughter.
Herman Gaugler of the firm of
Gaugler G Schrieber was married last
week to Miss Ella Schrieber. The
happy couple have just returned 10
Garneill and will reside in the pri-
vate apartments attached to the new
store.
Judging from the volume of bust
ness that has come to the firm OF
Schrieber & Gaugler in their new
store here. it will be necessary for
them to move the entire stock over
from Ubet to supply their constantly
increasing trade.
Gentleman Jim Shell had a nasty
scrap with heart failure last week.
When he went down he took the full
count and got to his feet just as the
gong was about to be rung on him.
After he came from the hands of his
bottle holders he looked as good as
new.
The Rev. w. B. Young, III Metho-
dist minister here. preached a mag
nificent sermon last Sunday night on
the parable of the lost sheep. The
reverend gentleman ran his sheep
through the chute and found he was
short just one, and that one, Brother
Young said. he would find, and when
the time came to turn owe his band
to the Great Shepherd his count would
be complete.
Professor j. A. McCauley is back
among us again after a twelve
months absence. during which tins
he has been teaching school in diffe?
ent parts of the country. Mac taught
the Garneill school two terms, and
the heartiness of the greetings he has
received since his arrival has showf
him that the people here have still
a soft spot in their hearts for thai
genial Irishman."
Among the new arrivals who have
come to Garneill to take up perma
nent residence was a little female
stranger who will make her futur,
home with Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Hart
Mrs. Hart has given up visiting TO.
the present to devote all Of her TIM
to the entertainment of the littl,
stranger, while Ed. is strutting aroun;
with his chest thrown out like a pout
er pigeon.

A POSITIVE ~FAlSEHOOD.
East Fork School House Occasions
~ Feeling Among Residents.

Editor ARGUS:
In a communication from A. v.
Rogers TO the school board, as pull
lished in the ARGUS under date of
the 18th inst. Mr.. Rogers stated that
all parties on East Fork favored the
proposition of building a school house
on East Fork. as outlined by himself,
with the exception of E. C. Busch and
\. l.. Lang.
That is a positive f%alsehood. As
for me | have never been interview
ed in regard to the school house in
question. Furthermore | have never
opposed the building of a school
house any place on earth. This is
more than Mr.. Rogers can say, as he
positively refused to sign a petition
circulated by myself for a school
house on East Fork simply because
il was not as convenient to his own
door as he wished to have il. Mr..
Rogers. in his communication to the
board. took rather an u~nderhande1
way of advocating his own cause and
gouging his neighbors. not thinking
that his communication would be pub
lished.
Hoping always to see school mat
ters successfully carried through. |
remain. respectfully. A. l.. LANG

TAXATION OF NJ

Elsewhere will be found an editor
ial from the Benton River Press en-
titled Unequal Taxation" the article
dealing with the instructions of tho
attorney general of Idaho as to the
assessment of patented mining claims.
that official ordering that they be
assessed at their full value, the same
as any other property There is no
question but the mining industry fire.
quently escapes from the payment of
its just portion of taxes, and it is al
so true that our state constitution
is very liberal in dealing with the
taxation of mines. However, a little
thought will convince anyone that IL
is a very difficult problem to solve.
How are the Idaho assessors going
to determine the full value" of min
ing claims? The owners do not know
for a certainty, They may have 2
fictitious or speculative price On min.
ing claims. upon which they have
spent considerable money but have
never realized a dollar. The price
named may be far greater than tn
actual value, then. again, it may be
less; but this is undetermined. Would
il be right TO assess the property at
the price asked when it is purely
speculative and the property is non.
productive? But to go farther, how
is the real value of a mine that is
developed and being worked by Il
plant to be determined? Is there any
time when there is not IN element
of uncertainty about the actual value
of a mine? With other classes of
property the value is not so difficult
to fix. If the word of the owner IS
doubted IL can be fixed by disintet
ested a~rbitrators, and the limit or ex.
tent of the property is more readily
ascertained. II would seem, however,
that where a mining property is thor.
oughly developed and the ore body
blocked out by tunnels, shafts and
drifts that the estimated value prac.
tically in sight could be discounted
say one-half, or one-quarter for as.
sessment purposes. Then, If this
were done and the owners had to
pay taxes on "the annual net pro.
ceeds of mines would it not result
in double taxation? Our contempor-
airy will observe that it is a knotty
question for legislators to handle,
even though there may be some jus.
tice in its claim that the mining in.
dustry of the state appears to be en-.
joying special privileges. However,
under the exemptions enjoyed mining
companies should not attempt to
eyade paying the full amount of taxes
upon their annual net proceeds, which
is no doubt being done in some in
stances.

TROUBLE ON EAST FORK.
Want the New School House In Sew
eral Different Places.

The regular meeting of the board of
school trustees took place on Monday
evening, at which Chairman Cort,
Trustees Eldridge, Moshner and Nc.
Hugh and clerk Blodgett were pres
ent.
Letters of application for the posi-.
ton of teacher at Castle Butte and
Bear Paw schools were read by the
clerk and teachers appointed as fol
lows: Miss Mary Meagher, at Cas-
tie Butte at a salary of SIS per month
and Miss Ray Bean to the Bear Paw
school at the same salary.
Miss Ella Moshner was engaged to
teach the Boyd creek School for the

A motion was made and carried
unanimously that Miss Abbie Larned's
salary be raised S. per month, and
Prof. Busenburg was authorized TO
procure diplomas of honor for the
graduating class.
E. c. Busch of East Fork expressed
his views on the building of the East
Fork school house and said that the
location near Rogers was not con-
veniently situated for all the residents
of the locality and seemed to think
that 1t would be more centrally To-
Gated il built about three miles above
his place. Owing to the fact that
there seemed to be considerable fric.
ton on East Fork in regard to the 10
cation of the school house it was de.
cided to lay the matter aside until
the residents of that district had set
tied the matter between themselves
and agreed upon a location.

THE TOWN OF KENDALL.
The Lively Mining Town In the North
Moccasins is Coming to the Front.

A considerable amount of building
is going on in the town of Kendall
and that little mining city is n of
the liveliest points in the county. AS
in all mining towns, the saloons and
hotels are doing a rushing business
and larger hotel accommodations are
badly needed. However, w. A.
Shaules has announced his intention
of erecting a fiorty-fve-room hotel at
an early date, which will remedy a
much felt want.
New residents are arriving in Ken.
dali every day and a regular canvas
town addition has sprung into exis;
ence, which gives the city a novel
and interesting appearance. New
buiness houses are being opened daily
and there is not much doubt but that
Kendall will be quite a populous lit

OUR PRESIDENTS.
Only One Impeachment and but Tv
Resolutions of Censure.

Only One Impeachment and hut Two
Resolutions of Censure.
Andrew Johnson was the only presl-
dent of the United States ever i'm
peached, and on the trial before the
senate he was acquitted, the vote In
favor of conviction barely falling short
of the necessary two-thirds.
Two resolutions of censure on the
president have been passed, once by
the senate and once by the house, on
occasions when the hostile majority
WAS not large enough either to pass
measures over the presidents veto or
to impeach him.
The first was passed by the senate on
March %, 1854. censuring President
Andrew Jackson for alleged violation
of the constitution and laws by his re-
mUval of the government deposits from
the United States bank. The majority
of the senate was opposed to Jackson
I'm his war upon that bank, and this
vote of cCnSure was the only thing
they could do about 1t. Jackson pro-
tested against this resolution rs q
charge to answer which no opportunity
could be afforded him. The senate re-
fused to receive the protest. Finally,
on Jan. 16, 1881 the resolution of CEN
sure was eXpungcd from the journal
of the senate.
The second resolution of censure was
in Il report adopted by the house from
the house committee to which presi-
dent John Tylcr's message vetoing the
tariff bill of 1872 mad been referred
This report ccnSured the president for
alleged improper use of the veto power
Tyler protested against this. as Jack
son had done before him, but he had,
ms member of the senate, voted
against receiving JackSon's protest.
and in answer to his protest the house
sent him IL copy of the senate resolu-
ton ON the former occasion.

But, while the officer Is unable to

the salute of another Of his own race.
He rises from his seat and stands stiff
