Of thronging peoples come
To bide with thee,
Thy boundless plains to till,
Draw wealth from every hill,

With industry.
All! All, thy children true;
Whatever chimes they knew
For Fatherlands,
To thee. their Mother now,
In loyal love they bow,
And pledge with joyous vow,
Their hearts and hands.
Thus Nature moves apace
Building a mighty race
But just begun.

She blends in one.
Oh. Father of all good,
Grant that with mingling blood
And blending soul,
Perfecting Natures art,
Each nation may impart
It's noblest traits of heart

CANCELLED OLD TAXES.
Comm issioners Wipe Lot OF the
Books.

The county commissioners yesterday
signed an order cancelling personal
taxes TO the amount of $4,000, which
have been carried on the tax rolls from
1879 to 1891 These taxes We're con-
sidered by the board as being uncol-
lectble. OF the amount cancelled Il
large portion of it was for bank stock
assessed to the First National bank
about IS years ago. when the assessor
listed the stock against the bank. BY
a decision of the state supreme court it
was decided that the stock should
have been assessed to the individual
stockholders of the bank and not to
the institution.
Some of the remaining Delinquent
taxes will be attached to real estate
and the delinQuencies will be forced
to settle with the county.

Steps Toward 1t to Be Deferred a

WASHINGTON. ID. c. Feb. 1S.-The
administration wishes to do nothing
that would further eXaSperate the Ca

boundry decision. and for that reason
steps looking to the definite marking
of the new boundary line may be de-
ferred until next year. The urgent
deficiency bill. as passed by the
house and senate. contains an appro-
priation of 100000 to pay the expense
of making the necessary survey. and
erecting the necessary monuments It
was expected that the administration
would ask for this appropria ton, and
there was no opposition in congress.
The government will not hasten mat
tiers, however. for il feels that a sub
stantial victory was won at London
and it is not disposed to push the ac-
tual marking of the line on the heels
of this victory. A few weeks ago it
was given out, and published in these
dispatches at that time that early
steps would be taken to secure the ap-

pointment Of a joint American and

nal, said the other day, however, that
he believed nothing would be done
before 1868. He added that the matter
was now in the hands of the state de-
partment and that he had no recent
conference on the subject. but it was
his opinion that there was no occasion
for haste
What Mr.. Root Says.
1t would be a little unseemly," he
said, for us to press the question of
actually marking the boundary, for
we have won our main contentious,
and there is no doubt as to the loca-
ton of the imaginary line 1t will, of
course, be 4 matter for international
ment of a joint survey party, and this
can be done at any time. The Cana
dams naturally did not wish to lose,
and we have an opportunity to show
ourselves good winners. 1t might
seem to be little more dignified, in
view of the state of feeling in Canada,
to defer the negotiations until next
year, and l presume that this will be
done?" 4.
If the proposition for the appoint
ment of geographers and surveyors to
mark the line should first come from
the Dominion government however.
the United States would respond
promptly. In that event operations
might be begun some time during the
coming summer. All of the actual
work will have to be done in the sum
mer season, as the mountain region to
be traversed is buried in ice and snow
during the winter months. Opinions
differ as to the length of time that
will be required to complete the work.
1t probably cannot be done in single
season.
