an action that will be Of great ben
eft to the state. 1t decided to in
vest the moneys Of the general
school fund in district school bonds
at a rate Of interest as follows: All
amounts under $4,000 per cent;
over $4,000, AZ per cent. This
action was authorized by the last
legislature in an amendment to the
constitution. This amendment was
approved by the people Of the state
at the last general election. There
is now $4,000 of idle money in
this fund, and under the new de-
parture every dollar of it can be
loaned to school districts through
out the state at rate Of 5 per cent
annual interest. Had this ruling
been adopted earlier, the last issue
OF school bonds voted in Grange
vile could have been taken at this
rate, whereas we are now paying 6
per cent, and the interest would
have help sustain the schools of
the state, instead of going into the
pockets Of eastern people.

ton of legislative candidates Va
rious matters affecting the state
and county will come up before the
next Legislature, and it is impor-
tant that good, substantial and
conservative citizens should be SEM
to the capitol to guard our inter.
ests. The agitation for the forma.
ton Of a new county is already un.
der way, and unless the interests
OF this county are jealousy guarded
by able men we may wake up and
find all the reservation country de-
tached and made part of the new
county. We do not believe that
the reservation people desire to be-
detached from old Idaho county a.,

in the future. Put loyal men on

faithful watch dogs and maintain
the integrity of old Idaho county

ACTING IN GOOD FAITH.

For the benefit OF those in the
country districts who still doubt
the good faith Of Grangeville in
Offering to provide a suitable court
house building for the county in
the event Of the county seat being
removed here this fall, we call at
tention to the fact that the village
board OF trustees are advertising
for bids for the bonds voted for this
purpose by the taxpayers OF
Grangeville. Just what the PEG.
pie OF Orangeville have done in
the past to give rise to the un.
founded impression that they are
trying to deal unfairly with the
people we are unable to determine.
In all probability those who claim
that Grangeville is trying to bunco
the people would not vote for the
removal of the county seat here
under any conditions. This is
their right. But why SANDER the
people who make up the munich
pality OF Grangeville? Our people
Will average up as we'll in all the
manly attributes of life as the peo-
pie OF any other community. The
town il noted throughout the north
west for it's liberality and public
spirit and for the integrity and
honesty of it's business men. Iii.
the purpose of the citizens of
Grangeville to deal squarely and
honorably with the people Of Idaho
county in the matter of providing
suitable building for court house
purposes free Of charge to the
county, provided the people of the
county vote to remove the county
seat here. We have shown our gooo
faith by voting $4,000 of bonds for
the erection OF such building, ana
we are now advertising for bids 70,
these bonds. We are also ad eI :

building, and before election da,
we will have substantial evidences

In view of the fact that there are
so many candidates for some of the

the best interests of the party will
be best served by the election of

convention. None of the candi-

unless they wish the

creased the assessed valuation OF
property in that county this year
by four millions of dollars, which,
OF course, the mining companies
must pay. The Bunker Hill &
Sullivan, for instance, was turned
in on the old valuation of IS per
acre. while the assessor put it down
a. well worth $500, 600. The En-.
prostate mines were assessed at
81, lOO,O0 the manager returned
them on the old basis OF IS per
acre. The matter will probably be
taken to the supreme court to test
the validity Of the law. This court.
by the way, recently tried to es.
tablish a rule on fixing the value
OF mines BY saying the price should
be the figure which q solvent debtor
would receive for them from a col.
vent creditor.
