Equalization in Progress

began its annual grind on Angus
12.
The assessment of lands occupied
the attention of the board for con
siderable time and while tht
equalization was practically com
pleted, the figures are not yet
available. 1t will be necessary
for the board to raise the valuation
in Ada county s or 10 per cent,
making it the same as that of last
year on patented lands. There
will be very little change in the
aggregate assessments.
LIVE STOCK VALUES.
NThe figures submitted by the
county assessors are quite as per.
picking as usual. Beef cattle, for
instance, are valued at from SIS
to $40 per head. The board com
promised matters by fixing the
valuation at S45, a reduction Of
50. SO a head from that Of last
year.
Common cattle are to be as
sessed at SIS per head, which is
$1.50 lower than the assessment
Of 1908.
Graded cattle will be assessed
this year at $50 per head, the
same figure as agreed upon twelve
months ago. Yearlings will re-
main at $50.
Mich cows were assessed at $50
last year and the board decided to
let the figures stand.
Last year the equalization board
assessed common sheep at s.. Is
per head. After comparing the
rolls from the different counties 1t
was determined that 80 would be
the proper figure this year. Grad
ed and imported sheep, OF which
a surprisingly small number are
shown on the assessment rolls, and
which were assessed all the way
from ~ to $50 per head, were
at $6.
Goats were reduced from S2.15|
per head last year to 50. They
were assessed at from ~ to S15.
Stock horses remain at last
years figures, $40 per head.
The value of jackasses varied in
different counties, some of them
being assessed at $40 and others
at $4OO. Inasmuch as they are
not honored with special column
by the equalization board, they
were cassed as mules at $40 per
head.
Swine remain steady and un.
changed at 81.
The board took up the merchan.
disc question and threshed it over
Tor some time without deciding
what changes will be necessary.
The subject is an awkward one
and will require serious considera-
ion. The figures in the counties
or this year and last show a great
Increase in values.
TITLED MINING PROPERTY.
As was the case last year, the
BOARD found it necessary to
Increase the valuation of quartz
Mills, concentrators, samplers,
melters and other mining i'm.
in three counties. In
Shoshone county the figures sub
nitted by the assessor were raised
0 per cent, while a raise of 5 per
ent. was decided upon in Boise
nd Owyhee counties. The fig {

Premiums by the Fair and Many Spec
ialties by Prominent Business Men

been in course Of preparation fol

tary W. II. Stuffiebeam for distri.
button. The premiums cover {
wide range Of products, and in.
structions are given for the proper
preparation or the form in which
products must be for exhibit.
Such fruits as apples, pears and
the like must be on plates, and
five on a plate. Smaller articles,
such as crabs, prunes and plumbs
must be ten on plate. Garden
products, such as beets, must be
in collections Of six, potatoes in
lots of fifteen lbs, cereals by half
bushels, or in sheaf, hay in 100
pound bales, butter in two pound
prints. The premiums for such
exhibits vary from 50 cents to IS
for the first prize and half that for
the second.
The premiums for the best
horses and cattle of the various
classes vary. from rs to S15 for
first prizes, and half the amounts
for second. For sheep, hogs and
goats the premiums are a little
less. For fowls the prizes are 81,
and 50 cents, and feed will be fur
nished for them during the fair.
There are the divisions of fine
arts, household, embroidery, lace
work, babies, education, mineral,
floral, industrial, children's de-
partment, and a speed program
for which 81, 500 is appropriated;
$3.50 for the first day, $1,000 the
second, $3.50 the third and 81,
500 the fourth. For full instruc-
tions about the various depart
ments apply to W. H. Stutfiebeam
for copy of the premium list. If
those having articles worthy of
exhibiting will give as careful at
tention to their exhibits as the
management of the fair is giving
to their part, and as they will give
to have attractions that will secure
a good attendance, the pro3ucts of
this section will receive Iotice and
that will constitute ad-
vertising of great value to indi-
viduals and the<country at large.
e n
In considering what you will ex
hibit do nctlet your decision de-
pend on the prospect of the prem
ium paying you in dollars and
cents for your trouble, but consider
whether it will be worth some
thing to the country at large to
have the article there. If thor
ough representation is made, there
must Of necessity be some pro
ducts brought to the fair which are
inferior to others In their class,
and the man who brings the best
he has need feel no humiliation if
he finds there is something in the
exhibit that is superior. 1t is not
simply a question of determining
who can produce the best but a
question of how good an article
can be produced in our locality.
1t will be seen by thousands Of
people from elsewhere, many from
other states where they cannot
duplicate them, and these people

not represented, no apology from
any of us can relieve us all from
criticism OF being. slow and lack
ing in enterprise.
The fair association has appro-
priated Sl,43 for premiums, and
business men of Blackfoot have
added many valuable specialties to
encourage the exhibitors, and now
if the farmers and stockmen will
undertake the work in the same
spirit, we shall have a fair that

educational gathering that eastern
Idaho has ever had.

Bucyrus, O., Sept 22.-Cltlzens Of
New Winchester, near here, are in
vestigating the death Of Misses Mary
and Lizzie Kaher, aged sisters, who
were found dead on the Ohio Central
railroad tracks. They were supposed
to have committed suicide, but in
vestigation shows no wounds on the
body Of Mary Kaher and no injuries
were found on the body of the other
woman except that her legs had been
cut off. 1t is now believed that they
were murdered and their bodies placed
on the track, as their breakfast was
found prepared in their farmhouse and
a mans necktie was found on the track
where the bodies we're found. There
is great excitement at New Winches-
ter.

BLOWN TO PIECES.
An Electric Car at Melrose, Mas,
Struck Boz Of Dynamite.
NINE PEOPLE DEAD, MANY HURT.
Ground Strewn with Legs and Other
Portions of Bodies of Victims
Human Foot Blown Through
Nearby window.

Melrose, Mass, Sept. 22.-An out
ward-bound electric car containing 80
persons was blown to pieces In this
city by striking a 50-pound box Of dy-
iamite that had fallen off an express
wagon. Six persons were killed out
right, three more died of their inju-
ries within an hour and 10 others on
the car were taken to hospitals suffer-
ing from severe injuries. At least a
score Of persons in the immediate Vi
cinity Of the explosion were hurt by
flying glass and splinters.,
So great was the force Of the explo-
sion that all but ten feet Of the rear
portion of the car was blown into
small pieces, while windows within
radius of a quarter Of mile were
shattered. The immediate vicinity Of
the accident presented a fearful spec
tacle when those in the neighborhood
reached the scene. The ground was
strewn with legs, arms and other por-
lions of the bodies of those who had
been killed, while shrieks and groans
came from the writhing forms of the
injured. The car contained mostly
men on their way to their homes in
this city. the accident taking place
only quarter Of a mile from Mel
rose Center.
The police arrested Roy Fenton,
driver Of an express wagon. Fenton,
1t was learned was carrying two 90
pound boxes of dynamite on his wagon
and did not know until he reached
the express Office that one Of the boxes
had dropped off. He hurried back in
the hope of picking 1t up, but the cleo
trio car reached the box first.
The force Of the explosion was ter
rife and the report was heard many
miles. Directly opposite the scene
was the Masonic building, every win
dow Of which was shattered, and
through one of the windows a human
loot was blown. A score Of persons
within hunderd yards Of the car
we're knocked down and rendered deaf
by the conclusion.

XIII Two.

Talbatton, Ca, Sept. 22.-The ne
groes recently dismissed by the court
here on the charge Of belonging to a
Before Day club" were followed on
their departure by hack carrying
four or five white men. About mile
from town the hack party met a ne
gro boy named Jack Troy. IN passing
some one in the hack shot him, wound
ing him so seriously that he is not ex-
pected to live. Six miles from town
the hack party called Ed Martin,
negro, from his house and made him
get in the hack, where one Of the party
shot the negro's eye out and he is also
not expected to live. These negroes
we're not charged with being MEM
bers Of the Before Day club"

and followed the coronation the trag-
edy of Servia's previous ruler found no
echo. Amid the thunder Of the salut-
ing guns from the royal palace and the
garrison King Alexander's murder
was, at least outwardly, forgotten.
The days ceremonies closed with
a gala performance at the theater,
which was attended by King Peter, the
royal family and the principal officials
of the kingdom. The streets, which
were gaily Illuminated, were thronged
until a late hour.
1t is said that the noble milk-white
steed the king rode after leaving the
cathedral was presented by the sultan
of Turkey to Peters murdered prede-
cessor. Whether this be SO or not,
it is impossible that the regicides could
have been absent from the minds Of
the spectators, and despite the regal
carriage of the new king he several
times during the tedious ceremony
appeared nervous and i'll at ease. The
fact that Great Britain and other pow
ers are still unrepresented at the Ser
Wan court and practically ignored the
event, cast a shadow over the other
wise brilliant scene. To the last mo-
ment the Servian populace had hoped
that Russia, Great Britain and the
other powers would send special mis-
sions and great disappointment is felt
over their omission to do so.
