Sheriff Chamberlain arrested

An opinion has been given that
all persons in Idaho between the
ages of six and twenty-one years,
whether married or single, re-
siding in any school district on
the first Monday of April, should
be enumerated by the census

person is married does not de-
bar him or her from the privil-
eyes of the common school in
this State, under existing laws.

Assessor Johnson is of the
opinion that the assessment roll
of Custer county this year will
reach 50, 10000. If it does it
will be big jump from 5000, 900
last year. He intends assessing
patented mining claims at cash
value this year, per instructions
from the Attorney General. aud
with this great addition, and the
railroad, telegraph line, vast inn
provements at Mackay and other
portions of the county, he has
great hopes of the assessment
roll reaching that figure. In case
it should Custer county will be
in good shape financially, and
the levy will be reduced nearly
one half. Personally we can
hardly expect such an enormous
increase in property, but believe
the assessment roll will be a great
deal larger this year than ever
before in the history of Custer
county.
