Sweet SkimmlIk.


There is no better ration for tina
calf than sweet skimmilk. After the
calf has been weaned it still has a
craving for the kind Of food that ma
ture provided for It. The feeding Of
nearly sour milk has been practiced,
and the feeding OF. whey, but we are
sure that the calf has no particular
liking for that kind of food. Under
modern methods of dairying 1t is pos.
sible on many farms to have the skim.

This is enough to convince your
that there are inequalities outside of
this county, and as an evidence that
they are not peculiar to the year
1908. | call your attention to the
fact that other tax rolls of this
county show them, and the reports
of the state board for previous years,
show that the same lands as cited
above were reduced in price before
the year 1908.
Ia conclusion let me say that IN

as my knowledge will permit, and
then leave it for the taxpayers and
the county board to equalize, and if
injured taxpayers would interest
themselves little more in the tax
affairs of their nelghbors 1t would
greatly assist the assessor, and bring
about a more equal assessment.

Wooley is Finally Appointed.

Last Monday President Roosevelt
sent the name of III. Smith Wooley
to the senate as United States assay
er al Boise. Thus ends one of the
hardest fought contests ever inaug-
urated IN the republican party in
this state. The Boise Statesman,
backed by many old time republi-
cans, was arrayed against Mr..
Wooley, while he was supported by
Senator Hepburn, Congressman
French and another large contingent
of republicans.
Charges and counter charges were
filed, and these had been considered
by the president before sending IN
the nomination.
By some. 1t is predicted, that
breach has been caused in the party,
that will be a hard matter to heal
over, as it is freely charged by
Wooley's opponents that his ap-
polntment was the result of deal
entered into year ago, whereby
Hepburn was able to secure votes
enough To elect him senator. 1t Is
also said that President Bulge was
instrumental IN helping the deal to
be carried out, he being father-in-
law to Wooley
Mr.. Wooley and his friends
strongly deny. that any such deal
!, was made, and assert that he was
appointed solely on his merits and
because of bis well known republi-
canism.
No matter which is which, Smith
has the job aud that is considerable
to brag of.

large, if good brick can be had.
Already the finest lime IN Idaho is

building is good brick yard, and

Ep1Toa EXAMINER: In your is
sue of the 22nd inst, note that You
give the prices agreed upon for as
sessing live stock for the year 1904.
Those prices are correct, but permit
me, through Your columns, to say
that those figures were not agreed
to with my consent.
Stock cattle and mich cows are,
IN my judgment. entirely too high
and while the theory Of equalizing
property is that the same price pre-
walls throughout the entire state, |
do not think it is just.
| believe there is as much differ
ence in the price of live stock in
different parts of the state, as there
is in the price of wheat, and there
should be certain latitude given
to the different counties in the list
ing of their property.
A mich COW, where milk is sell
ing for from soc to soc per cwt., is
not as valuable as the same animal
would be when milk finds ready
sale at sc per quart, or more than
50 per cwt.
The same is true of stock cattle
and beef. Some counties have an
inferior grade of cattle and they are
mot worth as much as the cattle OF
this region, but one assessor who
was arguing for high prices cited a
case in his county, where stock
man turned his entire herd, consist
ing of yearllngs, two-year-olds,
heifers and cows, land this, mind
you, at an auction sale, for $28. 0o
per head.
Can you wonder then, Mr.. Edit
or, that we could not secure lower
prices for assessment?
In the matter of stock horses,
most of such horses are IN counties
where they winter out and the repre-
sentatives of those counties claimed
they were not worth IS per head,
while others OF us wanted them ad
vanced to at least $i5 per head.
In the matter of equalizing, | am
convinced that there are inequalities
out side of Bear Lake county.
For example, one assessor rated
land in his county at $40 per acre,
while the same land was selling al
500 per acre, and the state board
reduced the land of that county
per cent.
One assessor listed the merchant
Use of his county at 334 per cent o.
the inventory list, while another
listed his county at 80 per cent O.

abstracts reached the state board

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 6.-Kipling,
in one of his poems, speaks of certain hea-
then who are "half devil and half child"
Some things in Russia, like the Jewish per-
secutions, make you think that the people
may fill the description of half devil, but
they are lot of other things which con
vince you that they are more than half
child. In fact, great many things in
Russia otherwise incomprehensible are ex-
planned by the knowledge that the Slavonic
race is still in its childhood.
Three hundred years ago the Russians
were more barbarous than the Turks are
today, and only hundred yeas ago they
were having palace revolutions and private
massacres like the recent one in Belgrade
Today the worst things you see in Russia
you can find parallel for in the worst i'm
pulses of nearly any child you know.
In the first place, it is an attribute of
childhood to see everything more or less on
the bias, or through red or green glasses;

RAILROAD TAXES
WILL Be HIGHER

SPOKANE, Feb. 6.-The convention of
assessors of the state of Washington adj
journed last night after a stormy session
of three days, a large part of the time
being devoted to a discussion of the prop
er assessment for railroad trackage and
mileage
The first day rate of $40 foot was
adopted for tirst-class trackageI The sec
Ond day 10 assessors voted to reconsider
and raise the assessment still more, and
IA voted against reconsideration. The mo-
ton was defeated for a lack of a two
thirds vote.
Yesterday the 10 assessors repudiated the
action of the convention and signed an
agreement to place the assessment on all
first-class railway lines at $3.50, regardless
of the action of the convention declaring
for a lower ratet The rate prior to the
present year has been $l.25.
The convention unanimously agreed to
raise the rate on rolling stock from %
cents to 40 cents.
One of those who made the strongest
fight for the increase was w. M. Kenney

tory.
Another childish characteristic of the
Russians is their fear and suspicion to-
ward things and people with which they
are not familiar They nave not yet in
troduced trolley cars into st. Petersburg
because of vague fears in official quarters
that they may have in them some hidden
dangers. Their childishness again crops
out in the architecture and the interior
decoration of their buildings. They make
everything as gaudy as they can and are
especially fond of gliding Even some of
the cars apartments are as full of gilt
and tinse as the stage at Christmas
pantomime.
The most dangerous trait, perhaps, of
an undeveloped people with the minds of
children nd the bodily strength of men
is their immense vanity. The average Rus
sian feels as sure he can lick creation as
an American boy does in his first pair
of copper-toed boots. There are a great
many of them and being brave people they
have on several occasions come very near
doing it, as when they wrecked Napoleon
after he had defeated nearly every other
continental nation. Japan they regard as
a mouthful to merely give them an appe-
tite, and in the very highest circles you
are told most gravely that Russia sooner
or later will conquer the whole world.
When they get a century or two older they
will probably know better, but meanwhile
their present feelings and characteristics
are world danger.

either they are better than they really are
or they are worse. Therefore not very
many childen are able to see things as
they are, and the average Russian is CON
spicuous for the same deficiencies.

An official with desk full of confden-

LAUNCH OF
PARKER BOOM

NEW YORK, Feb. GA morning manor
announces that at LUNCHEON TO he given
tomorrow at the home of William
Sheehan the boom for Judge Alton b.
Parker for the Democratic nomination for
the presidency will be launched in a for
maj manner. In order that the luncheon
may not have the appearance of politics
about 1T many women will be present. and
among them will be leaders of society.
In Just what form the putting forward of
Judge Parker as the favored son of New
York for the presidential nomination will
be done has not been learned. but it is
known that the plan is to have it done in
manner that will make it significant and
that cannot be misunderstood.
Following the luncheon at the home of
MIR. Sheehan, a dinner for Judge Parker
will be held. At that dinner leading New
York Democrats, representing every fac
ton of the party will be present. Judge
Parker's candidacy will there be empha-
sized, and it will be made plain. if posi-
bic, that as candidate he will have the
support of the business interests of the
country.
These plans are departure from those
contemplated a fortnight ago. 1t was then
thought well to start the Parker boom
with big dinner at the Metropolitan club,
but that was advised against by wise poll
ticians, who thought that such a move
might create bad impression in some
quarters 1t was then decided to place
Judge Parker fairly before the country as
receptive candidate in manner that would
make it possible to show that he is popu-
lar with all classes.
Much work in a quiet way has been
done for Judge Parker, among his most
ardent supporters being Mr.. Sheehan and
August Belmont. First to be done. in
the opinion of those most practced in the
arts of politics, was to convince the bust
ness public that Judge Parker is safe
man. 1t is said that to this end his po-
sition on many subjects of interest to the
business world may be explained at the
dinner to be given after the Sheehan
luncheon, at which Judge Parker and his
wife will be the principal figures.

LIVED THIRTY HOURS
UNDER FALLEN HORSE

CHEHALIS, Feb. 6.-By his horse fall
ing upon him and breaking both his legs,
Neal Oleson met tragic death Wednes-
day afternoon. On the road between his
place and Dryad tree had been blown
over by the wind, leaving a big hole,
through which, it is supposed, Oleson tried
to ride. In so doing his horse fell with
him underneath. 1t is believed that be-
sides his broken legs he sustained internal
injuries, which caused his death After
being pinioned to the earth for over 80
hours by the horse, which could not get
up, he taken to a neighbours, where he
soon died. Blossoms remains were brought
to Chehalis. He was single man. A
brother lives at Eagleton.
