and the several assessment rolls for this year.
1t will explain itself.
Table No. 9 gives summary OF all work on
the assessment.
Table No. 8 is a summary OF the calculations
of real estate values, with the assessed value
per acre of farm land and the value per acre
which believe to be the correct value in the
respective towns and also the assessed aud true
value of city and village lots. In red ink is the
per cent. of true value, in my estimation, and
as shown by my calculations of the assessed
value of real estate in each district.
Now gentlemen of the county board, sub
init the whole matter to you. With every effort
that could make to get 4 uniform assessment,
been the insufficient pay received by assessors.
Some of them are to be highly commended. All
OF them appear to have tried to do their best,
but no one could be expected to leave his own
work and engage in public business without
being fairly well paid for 1t. tbs false economy

Need a New BUILDING.

The public schools of Lewiston are
crowded and need more room. A new
department was created last week and a
teacher put in charge in the Guild room
OF the Episcopal church, but several of
the departments now are overcrowded.
There are now 700 pupils in the Lewiston
public schools an increase of las over
last year at this time. For these "
teachers ale now employed and twenty
are needed. Counting the children in
the training department of the state nor
mai school aud the children attending
Catholic schools and private schools and
there are over 500 school children in
Lewiston. The school board is consider
ing seriously of building a new ward
school on Normal hill. One site sug.
gested is the city property near Council.

very convenient site for building to &C.

Continued from first up


duced in proportion and the state would
be loser in corresponding amount.
ut is true that this timber is adver-
tised fol. sale and that the advertisement
is quite widely circulated, but it is also
true that the lumber industry is almost
entirely controlled by trust to which
the large operators belong, and, as might
he expected, they do not bid against one
another. As result there are few own.
ers of small country mills who are able
to purchase timber in tracts so large as
those now offered by the state land board
of Idaho.
"There are other ways, however, in
which the state may get the worst Of ii
outside of selling the timber at too low
figure. One of these is to conquest the
right Of the actual settler and permit out
side investors to secure select tracts Of
timber land to which the state is entitled.
For instance, on January IA. 1893, the
state land solicitors for Idaho filed upon
IL,
range west, Boise meridian, regardless
Of the fact that many settlers had filed
hOmesteads thereon. A contest was be-
gun which was not concluded until adju-
dictated by secretary of the interior. In
this contest, which cost the settlers a
large sum of money and the state of
Idaho a no inconsiderable amount. the
homesteaders were successful in nearly
every instance. believe in every case
except one.
1.-THE state land board was informed at
the conclusion Of the final hearing that
1t might make an amended fling, leav-
ing out the tracts belonging to the actual
settlers. The chief clerk of the board.
upon receiving this advice, proceeded to
the land office at Lewiston and did make
an amended fling. But before doing so
he carefully excluded 10 of the choicest
40 acre timber tracts in the township
Standing by his side was gentleman
named F. w. Kell, who stepped forward
ard Immediately filed scrip upon this
land. Thus the state lost, not only the
timber. but also the land. Amy one
who has doubt on this transaction can
get the number of these tracts by writing
to the land Office at lewiston

No Credit TO Hunt

with the pertinacity quite In keeping
with the we'll established reputation for
questionable honesty, truthfulness and
.veracity, the Boise Capital News-it of
the code graft-keeps barking back to
the administration of Governor McCor.
nell and the difference in the state levy
then and now. That appears to be its
sole stock in trade in political way. 1t
regularly ignores the fact that the tax
able property of this state has increased
IN valuation more than double since the
administration of Governor Mcconnell.
While the expenses for running the state
administration are but So, 900 more now
than then. In other words, the taxable
property of Idaho in 1896 was about $29,-
100000 while now the taxable property
OF the state is something in excess of
$oI 100000. The cost of running the
state six years ago was $23I 900 while
now 1t is S245,ooo. The veriest child can
understand that the state tax levy would
be reduced where the taxable property
has been SO greatly increased.
1t is not question at all of saving by
Governor Hunts democratic, or rather
fusion, administration. As a matter of
fact the expenses of running the state
are increased by $4,000 since 1896 by
the creation Of new Offices which have
been considered by those who have been
appointed to them, as merely gratis"
The reason that the state tax levy is less
now than formerly is simply because the
taxable property of this state has in
creased. The democratic party and Mr..
Hunt can certainly take no credit for
this. 1t is the direct result of the ma.
tional republican administration.
1t is because of the fact that the re-
publicans have controlled the ,eins of
the government for the last six years.
Idaho owes its present prosperity to
the fact that the republican party has
been in control of the national admins
tration and that investors. farmers and
miners, and those who desire to invest in
this young and growing state have the
utmost confidence in the wisdom of that
party .-Pocatello Tribune. Oct. II, 1902
