A Chilly Mule Tale.

A correspondent with The Tibet
mission tells a mule story: Mules,
apparently. do not die from any cause,
and this mission has again proved the
extreme hardihood Of these animals.
When the mission first crossed the
Jelapsla, a mule slipped in the dusk
and fell into the lake at the bottom of
the pass. 1t was thought to be
drowned. Next morning a convoy
found 1t with its nose Just above the
ice, the rest of its body literally fro
zen in. pickaxes were brought and
the animal was dug out. II is now
working as usual"

Song Time.

When the robin calls good morning
Ard the thrush s.note II heard
In the distant dewy woodland
Like the spirit OF a bird:
When the world Is Just awaking
TO the beauty OF the day
Then, o love, my heart makes music
In a lovers roundelay
When the golden sun has vanished
And the swallows settle low,
When the daylight seems returning
In the flushing afterglow:
When the freflies light their lanterns
And the mist is on the dell
Then. q love- my heart makes music
In n lovers willamette.

not quite reach the six-foot mark,

waste of barren sand and withered
buffalo grass, from which the heat

was cook for the cowboys. The worst

scarcely more than a cook. He would

STRANGE IDEAS.


The CBur d'Alene Press has
been giving expression to some
strange ideas regarding the tax
levy for 1904. We would not be
surprised to find our democratic
contemporaries going SO far
even rs to try to make their
readers believe that the county
commissioners can and do levy
special school and village taxes.
In fact Brother Scott, in a recent
editorial charging the commits
sioners with extravaganza, stat
ed that the tax for C9ur d'Alene
city would be over six percent
and said "Think of It'll" The alb
surd part Of this was that he
added to the state, county and
village levy, the special road tax
Of eight mills which is not LEVIED
on Incorporated towns. But the
county commissioners are not
responsible for but 81 Of the SD
mills tax which the people OF
Cnur d'Alene have to pay. The
other 20 mills are the special
school tax Of II mills and the
town tax Of ten mills voted by
the people Of the city, them
selves. II the people OF Cnur d.
Alenc think their taxes excessive
they can blame no one but
themselves. In 1903 they voted
Especial school tax of Is mills,
and this year in spite Of the fact
that they had been notified that
the commissioners intended to
rlise the general school levy
from Ave to ten mills, they voted
@ II mills special school tax,
which they did not have to do
unless they needed more school
money than they did in 1908.
AS it IL, their school tax this
year is two mills higher than
last year, when if they had SC
wished it might have been ten
mills less. We cannot under.
stand wherein the Press can cen.
sure the commissioners. On the
contrary Ceur d'Alene should
thank the Republican admins
tration for putting the property
valuation up to a point where
the town can raise enough mon
ey for expenses, whereas, under
the democratic administration
Occur d'Alene city with its tax
leyies at the limit could not
raise sufficient funds to meet
their school and village expendi,
lures. Even now the city must
levy special taxes. But it is
childish OF the Press to attempt
to place the blame for the bur.
dens OF the city government
upon the shoulders OF the com
missioners.
