Mr.. Payne a Fan"

Mr.. Payne a ran.
Representative Payne, chairman OF the
Ways and Means Committee and the Re
publican floor leader, is one OF the most
enthusiastic baseball men in the House.
He knows the schedule of the big games
almost as well as he does the schedules
in the tariff law. Whenever there is a
good game in town Mr.. Payne makes 1t a
poipt. IL possible, to conclude his work at
the Capitol as early as possible, and then
he boards a car for the Baseball Park
and roots for the winners as enthusi-
astically as the most strenuous fan
Furthermore Mr.. Payne Is able to do
accurately what few of his associates In
Congress can, and in fact, few aside from
those who follXw baseball closely-and
that is TO score a game as well asethe ON
ciaI scorer. Baseball is Mr.. Payne's chief
diversion from the arduous duties which
he performs as the House leader.

County Salaries.

The Pocatello Tribune publishes
a table showing the salaries
paid to county officials in all the
counties of the state and at the
same time giving the population
according to the census of 1900 and
the assessed value of all property
in the counties for 1901.
The total salary lists for the
counties show a wide range-from
$4,000 per year in Ada, the high
est, to So, 400 in Bear Lake, the
lowest.
Idaho counties are divided into
four classes, the division being
based on the, assessed valuation.
First class counties are those with
an assessed valuation of SO, 100000
or over; second class counties, 49,
100000 to So, 25O,O00; third class
counties, 100000 to 100000;
fourth class counties, 100000 to
100000.
There are six first class counties,
seven second class counties, six
third class counties and two fourth
class counties.
Bannock is fourth in assessed
valuation and fifth in population
of the counties of the state. With
one exception it pays the lowest
salaries among the first class coun-
ties.
Canyon county is last on the list
of first class counties. 1t is the
sixth in assessed valuation and tn,
eleventh in population. 1t pays
the lowest salaries of the first class

counties.
Bear Lake pays the lowest sal
aries in the state 1t is a third
class county-twelfth in popula-
ton and sixteenth in assessed val
uation.
Oneida comes next to the bot
tom of the list, 1t is a second class
county-tenth in population and
eleventh in assessed valuation.
Ada, the first in assessed valua-
ton and in population, pays the
maximum to all county officers ex-
cept surveyor.
Shoshone heads the list of sec
ond class counties. 1t is fourth in
population in the state and eleventh
in assessed valuation. 1t pays
maximum salaries except to treas
urer and surveyor.
The average salary list for the
whole state is $3.50.
The average salary for the first
class counties is 10000. Koo-
tenai it will be noticed is about
5000 above the average.
The average salary for second
class counties is $8475.
The average salary list for third
class counties is $6875,
Kootenai county is the second
county in the state in valuation,
but is fourth in the amount of sal
aries paid. 1t was Sth in popula-
ton IN 1900, but has passed several
counties since that time. The pres
ent salaries will, we believe, give
general satisfaction. The in

the then Fusion regime put in
force, and against which the HER
AID contended, have been wipeC
