A newspaper whose columns
overflow with advertisements of
business men has more influence
in attracting attention to build
ing up a town than any other
agency that can be employed.
No power on earth is so strong
to build up a town as a paper
well patronized, and it's power
should be appreciated.-John

THE St. Maries Courier
thinks the proposition to
raise the dam on the Spokane
river at Post Falls, bodies i'll
for the ranchers along the St.
Joe river in that locality. 1t
contends that it would cause
the river to overflow and sub
merge the meadows. This oc
ours but once or twice during
the year and then recedes, al
ways giving ample time for
the growth and harvesting Of
the crop, and the proposed
change in the dam at Post
Falls would in all probability
have no preceptable effect in
the locality referred to. The
argument to us looks like a
far fetched proposition. Co

1t is said that there is a fall
of several feet in the Spokane
river between the outlet ano
Post Falls. If that be correct
it is reasonable to suppose
that the farmers at the heae
of the lake would not b,
aware of it, if the dam wer'
raised four feet, unless the,

IT is not difficult to see that
there is injustice in the law
under which the State Land
Board can select lands on
which settlers have lived for
years a IN d made improve
ments. The lands at Pack riv-
err were opened for filings on
July 9th and many settlers
who had made their homes
on the land a n d labored to
improve them, have found
that the State had selected
their land. The State having
a prior right has naturally not
neglected the opportunity to
choose all the choicest land.
The State either disregarded
the fact that it was taking
land OH which settlers were
established or else was ignor-
ant of it. However this may
be there is ample room for
amendment Of such law.

disappointed. They will. how
ever, undoubtedly take the mat

attend drill with undiminished
enthusiasm. Their uniforms and
equipments will arrive shortly.
The following from the Capital

several companies:
An order for full equipment for
a regiment OF Idaho National
guards has been sent to the adj
jutant general OF the United
States by Adjutant General Vic
kers. This order calls for uni
forms and ammunition for all OF
the soldiers and when all of the
companies are equipped, the reg
iment will be one of the finest in
the west. The general has taken
great care in having everything
the best available, and for two
weeks he has been preparing the
order. The companies are loeat-
ed as follows: Company A, at
Nampa; Company b, at Pocatel-

reached the epidemic stage. The ma
Jority Of the cases Of so called Ia grippe
are only severe colds. 1t has become a
custom nowadays 70 call every severe
cold a case Of la grippe.
'There are three recognized classes Of
Ia grippe or influenza. One with alb

These are not new characteristics OF

The disease is peculiar in that IL

even cross the waters in a remarkably
short time. An epidemic may start in
one country and be all over two or
three countries in a short time. The

the Bear River country and 1000 acres
in Idaho.
Scarcity Of White Labor.
What is the cause Of the scarcity
OF white labor? Well, there are a
number Of reasons. one reason is the
increased demand FOR labor la the west.
There is a great amount of railroad
building and the roads cannot get men
enough. A Short Line official informed
me only today that they have had 10
fan back on Japanese help and IL has
proven very satisfactory. The road
was the first one in the west to employ
Japanese. They have been carrying
them through the winter and providing
for them so as to have them on hand
when wanted ia the spring.
Another reason for the shortage Of
farm help is the increased amount of
acreage without a corresponding inn
migration of help to keep up with the
growing demand We have used the
Blackfeet Indians and have found
them good help and Industrious work
ers. There is a village of them below
Malad City. I'VE have gathered up all
the white boys We have been able TO
hire, but this is the first time we have
had TO use japanese help. Colorado
has had Japs ana some Russians and
found them satisfactory. The Russians
are particularly desirable, as they
come with their families. We were not
able % get Russians this year, but we
hope 20 anOthes season.

GOVERNOR SIGNS
SIX; VETOES TWO
Personal Property Tax Lien Bill
Is lmpraCtiCabIe.
LIVESTOCK MEASURE CRUDE
ADMITS ITS OBJECTS ARE MOST
CoMMENDABLE.

Governor Wells yesterday signed six
house bills. and transmitted two sem
ate measures TO Secretary OF State
Hammond without his signature. A.
letter accompanied each. IN which he
stated his reasons for his veto. The
bills the governor refused 10 sign are:
Senate bin No. 80, an act making
county sherifs livestock inspectors
and defining their duties, and regulat-
ipg the inspection and shipment Of
livestock. and providing for the coll
lection of a fee for the same.
Senate bin no. Isl, an act amending
the Statutes providing that taxes on
personal property shall be a lien upon
the realty of the owner, and that in
certain cases taxes on personal prop
erty shall be secured by a bond.
The Six New Laws.
The six bills which the governor
signed follow:

person under the age OF rs years from
buying, accepting or having in his pos
session any cigar cigarette or tobacco

H. b. no. 132. an act 10 amend sec
ton 1916 OF the revised statutes of

III. B. No. 156, an act TO amend sec

duty OF county auditors TO file state
ments showing the amount paid for

ers. etc.
III. b. No. 159, an act TO amend sec

and third class and incorporated
towns
In his veto Of the personal property
tax lien bin Is. B. NO 1S0. the gov
ernor describes the purposes of the
measure as follows.
The amendment I'M question provides
that i'm case the owner Of personal
property in any county is not the own
er Of real property in that county. then
the assessor shall within ten days from
the date Of the Assessment of said
personal property require the owner
20 give a satisfactory bond in an
amount not less than 3la per cent OF the
assessed valuation Of such personal
property for the payment Of such
taxes"
After expressing the opinion that the
bin is both imDracticable and super
huous which deduction. he adds. is
cOncurred in by officials and others,
the governor says: THE assessor may
not be able within ten days of the date
Of the assessment 10 ascertain whether
the owner OF personal property is or
IS not the owner OF real property in
the county"
Says It Is Superhuous.
The governor then contends that in
large or pOpulous counties the lists
cannot be classified or completed with
In so limited a time. and thar the eX-
ira expense would more than equal
any possible loss arising through its
nOn-enfOrcemenL In conclusion Gov
ernor Wells says In part:
Finally, whenever there shall arise
the necessity for actually collecting a
tax before the rate OF assessment is

livestock Bin Vetoed.

The main purpose Of the livestock
bill was 10 prevent stolen stock from
being shipped out of the state by hav-
ing marks and brands examined. The
governor admits IL els undoubtedly a
worthy one" and he would be happy
to indorse" the object by any prac-
tcable and effective means" but he
thinks the bin as passed might affect
injuriously the sherim's usefulness in
other directions as wen as work a great
detiment and damage of the honest
shipper who tried to comply with IT,"
Many of the counties from which live
stock are shipped are unable 20 pay full
compensation 70 their sherins, con-
tinues the governor. As the bin pro-
vides no compensation for the inspec-
ton, the pax of the sheriffs would fall
upon those poor counties, working an
extra hardship. IT. would not be right
TO ask a sheriff TO make a trip across
country to inspect a trainload of cattle;
If he had a -eight-hOur ride he
might not reach his destination in time.
Governor Wells also points out the
fact that many Of the shipping points
are frequently stations where there is
absolutely no grass or forage for stock.
lt would work a hardship upon the
owners 10 be compelled to buy food.
After commenting upon the delays
which occur in examining cattle. etc,
the governor expresses the opinion that
the bill appears to have passed the
legislature without due consideration
of the points which he mentions in his
veto. He adds further that 10 Is fun Of
'crudities,' and makes no provisions
for a number OF penalties which should
have been inserted.
