GOOD THINGS COMING.

The drive from Boise to the Pay
cite Lake it one not forgotten by
those who make it for recreation.
The grand panorama of beautiful
scenery and the life-giving air they
breath exhilarates almost to intox-
ication. People living in the val
ley are used to it, and, many of
them, do not realize what a very
beautiful place this is-they have
forgotten their first impressions.
When irrigation is king in the
valley, and the main road through
from north to south is dotted along
it's entire length with lovely homes,
surrounded with pleasant gardens
and lawns; then during the sum-
mer months will this grand high
way be thronged with vehicles of
every description, coming from the
lower valleys to escape the heat and
enjoy life in and about our grand
mountains and lakes. Even if
there is a railway through the val
ley, (Which is almost sure to be the
case), many will avail themselves
of the old style Of travel, taking
their time and buying milk, butter,
eggs, fruit, etc, along the route,
and enjoying life as it can only be
enjoyed under such circumstance
Our roads will then be perfect, with
good bridges and everything that
facilitates good, easy travel. There
will be several fine towns along
the route where comforts and con-
veniences of all kinds may be OBJ
tanned. Irrigation will do it all,
but how soon depends upon the
people. They have the water if
they will only claim it and make a
move towards it's use.
There is no time so good as the
present. Start now.

Our Crawford correspondent men
toned the fact last week that the
Payette Improvement & Boom Co.
had only been assessed 43 cents per
thousand feet on timber they
bought from the state at public
auction two years ago for 81 cents
per thousand feet, This is grossly
unjust. The timber in question,
between 10000 and 10000 acres, is
fully as valuable now as it was
when the state sold it, and we and
our Crawford correspondent are
not the only ones that would like
to know why this company should
escape just assessment.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Payette Lumber & Boom Co.

to the Board that the Payette I'M
provement and Boom company has
constructed a good road down the
Payette river which they propose
to keep in good condition at their
own expense for public travel; that
said dam was not intended to
be used at the season when the ford
at Smiths Ferry was usually avail
able as a safe crossing, and would
not prevent the use of the present
methods Of crossing the river, but
would give an additional and safe
crossing; that the company has
complied with all the requirements
1.-THE law in making this application
The Board received a remon-
STRANGE against the granting of a
franchise for toll bridge to the
Payette Improvement and Boom
company, stating as the reason that
1T would be great injustice to
the taxpayers of Long and Round
valleys to have to pay said toll"
1t appearing to the Board that
the dam and bridge are separate
and distinct propositions and that
any damage or inconvenience to
individuals or the public would be
occasioned by the dam, which is
beyond the control of this Board,
and that the bridge would beAbene-
fetal instead of detrimental, and
the application of the Payette I'M
provement and Boom company for
authority to construct and main
tain toll bridge across the Payette
river having come on regularly to
be heard this day before the Board
OF Commissioners of Boise county
at a regularly adjourned meeting
held for the purpose of hearing
said application, and due proof
having been made to said Board of
the publication of said notice of
application as required by law,
and the Board, after having heard
the proofs in support of said appli-
cation and in opposition thereto,
being OF the opinion that the public
interests will be promoted by the
granting of said application, it is
therefore ordered by said Board
