The States Assessed Valuation.

The state board or equanZaIlOn is III

counties show an aggregate valuation
for the state, exclusive of railroad, tel
egraph and telephone lines of $62, OoS,-
1885 net increase over last year OF
sc, O3O, O83OS
The value of the land of the state has
been placed ridiculously low. In Ada
county, for illustration, the average as
sessed valuation is but SIS. II per acre,
and this is nearly double the valuation
in any other county. Canyon comes
second, the value there being but $6.97,
according to the assessor, while IN
Kootenai the price fixed is but 81. 10 per
acre. The assessors in Ada, Bingham,
Blaine, Gilmore, KoOtenai and Oneida
counties reported less patented lands
assessed this year than last. The asses
sors in these counties have been order
ed to appear before the board Saturday
morning and explain the shortage In
land.
Five counties report land valuations
between $3 and 81, these being Bannock,
Bear Lake, Blaine. Boise and Lincoln
The same number-Custer, Fremont,
Idaho, Nez Perce and ShoshOne-show
the patented land of the county to be
worth only from 81 to s., all the other
counties ranging between IS and S. 81
per acre.
Only three counties report any assess
ment upon the net profit of mines-an
intimation which the mining men of
the state would not be ready to agree to
These three counties are Lemhi, which
reports $15, 800, Owyhee with 1896 OBJ. u
and Shoshone. with 80, 957, SLIGO. The
total amounts to SO, 209, 4O3. 81.
Other counties, however, report min
ing improvements, four having mining
bitches, nine patented mining land
eight have quartz mills and three con
GENERATORS. Nine counties report Other
improvements on mining clrims.
There are seven counties in the state
with irrigating bitches, and IA counties
report AT sawmills. There are IA plan
ing mills in five counties, and q girls

The three sugar factories in Fremon
and Bingham counties, one in the forme
and two in the later, are assessed TO
500, 34S.
Only eight counties report having an
watches or jewelry, the aggregate valu
of these Injuries being $29O5.
A fact that may create much satisfae
ton in the breasts of the temperate
workers is that only II of the q cour

Fighting for Water in Bingham.

The water troubles in this vicinity
have broken out afresh, says Black
foot dispatch of Aug. IS. A few days
since the crops near Blackfoot were
perishing for the want OF water. Judge
Bulge, upon showing made to him to
the effect that the ranchers about Idaho
Falls were not only taking their full
quota, but actually letting large guam
titles go to waste. ordered the head
gates of the big bitches closed for
time to enable the bitches in this local.
ty to fill up. For few days everything
looked rosy, but suddenly there was
very great falling off in the volume
reaching this far down and the crops
were again in jeopardy.
Yesterday Judge Stevens cited num-
Der of prominent residents in the upper
part of the county to appear on Thurs
day and show why they should not be
punished for contempt the water COM
missioners having discovered a number
of headgates opened up contrary to the
order of the court week ago. From
the temper OF the community and the
critical condition of a number of farm
ers who are practically ruined by this
last action. it would not be surprising
if the court should be extremely severe
with the offenders.

"FADS and FRILLS" WIN.
Committee of School Board Reports
against Shorter DAY.

At meeting OF the Board of Education yes
terday a report was received from the COM
mittee on elementary schools opposing the pro-
posed shortening OF the school day OF the pupils
II the first year and favoring the so called 'fads
and frills." The report recommends that these
latter features be further extended
Several months ago the board recommended
that the course OF study for the pupils OF the
first year be cut down from five hours 20 three
and one-half. This resolution also called for a
modification Of the course OF study TO eliminate
certain studies which many consider uuessential
for young children. Later II developed that many
parents and almost the entire teaching force OF
the public schools OF the city bitterly opposed
such plan.
The report provides that where competent
medical authority shows that a child suffers
physically from five hours a day Of school work
he may attend school for shorter period. The
report closed by recommending that more play
ground space be taken in the purchase of new
school sites. IL also recommends that part time
classes he abolished as soon as possible
