"a Gold Brick. ="

the present assessed valuation of
the annexed portion of Nez
Perez county seemed uhreason-
able, but this was said merely as
a matter of opinion, as the rec
ords were not available. This
assessment was first stated at the
county seat to be about ST., 100000
and afterwards reduced to about
81, 100000. The Tribune is now
informed that included in this
amount is an assessment of $685.
900, or nearly one-fourth of the
entire sum, on scrip filings on
government timber lands which
have never been approved by the
government and may never be.
This scrip was issued in lieu
of forest reserve lands in the
state of California, but until the
exchange is approved and finally
effected the holders are taxable
in California and not in Idaho
That, at least, seems to be the
legal status of the case, though
doubtless the actual fact is that
the scrip is in such position as
not to be taxable at all at this
stage. The result as affecting
the annexed sections assessment
is that the taxes levied upon the
scrip filings have gone delin-
quent and the filings been sold at
tax sale and bought in by Sho-
shone county. The title to the
lands, however, as said, remains
in the general government and
the assessment is void and Of no
effect whatever. Still it stands
there as a charge against Nez
Perez county in the apportion-
nnent Of the Indebtedness of Sho-
shone county, increasing the
amount of such Indebtedness that
Nez Perez must assume by nearly
one-fourth. On top of this the
delinquent taxes due on this
worthless assessment must be
accepted pro rata by Nez Perez
county in the distribution of the
assets of Shosbone county. 1t
looks like there is a very large
gold brick here that should be
passed up. Suppose, for in
stance, that the annexed section
should decide upon and accom-
plish the erection of a new county.
Surely it would then contest and
have declared void the scrip as
sessment in proportioning the f.
nances of the two parts of Nez
Perce county would be left with
the pro ratio of 1925, 900 of sSho-
shone county's debt on its hands,
together with the worthless taxes
previously levied upon the same,
as the sole memento of the event.
Of course, Nez Perez county is
not going to bubble with Sho-
shone over proper matters pend
; ing between the two, but neither
is going to have cold deal like
: the foregoing handed out to it.

PREPARING FOR CONVENTION.
Democrats in Large Numbers Will Convene
at Harrisburg

Democratic leaders from all parts
of the State are turning their atten-
ton to the convention to be held at
Harrisburg this month and there
ale prospects that it will be one of
the largest for some time though
it is merely a reconvened body.
State headquarters attaches are now
making the arrangements and will
have eacn seat i'll the Board of Trade
numbered so that everyone will get
a place. Hotel accommodations are
being secured and fiom the reserva-
tions the attendance will be notable.
Boomers Of Judge Stewart are
numerous throughout the State and
while they will not have any head
quarters at Harrisburg there will be
select bands OF his friends among
the Democrats to urge his selection.
The date of the Democratic re-
convened meeting will be almost
coinCident with the Prohibition State
at Williamsport and
there is considerable interest to see
what will be done.

AIR SHIPS AND TIE NORTH POLE.

For many years past fortunes
have been spent and many lives lost
in the effort to discover the north
pole. The subject has been dis
cussed in newspapers and by scien-
tific societies for nearly a century,
but as yet no satisfactory reason has
been given as to the necessity of
discovering the extreme northern
end of the axis of the earth. Co.
lumbus discovered America, and
Livingstone and Stanley opened the
wilds of Africa to the civilized
world, and thereby rendered inest-
mable service to humanity. But
what good the finding of the north
pole is going to be to the, world is
not yet known. 1t would no doubt
be comfortable place for a summer
hotel but if after repeated attempts
and enormous expenditure, cover
ing many years, Commander Peary
has not been able to arrive there
yet, it is not likely that summer
bosrders would flock there in pay
ing quantities. Should Peary Sue
ceed in his present attempt upon
which he entered last week, it
would give to au American the
honor of having accomplished what
no other man ever did, and would
make hero of the intrepid explor-
er. What is to be done with the
north pole after it is found is an un-
known problem.
Another thing upon which much
inventive genius is being overwork-
ed is the attempt to navigate the
air. In this too a number Of lives
have been sacrificed. Several air
ships have been madc that sailed
around apparently at the will of the
operator, but all of these have end
ed in disaster, and most of them
have killed their man.
Here, too. the question may be
asked: What will we do with it?
Possibly some cne may invent
machine that will fly long enough
to make it profitable as novelty at
comfy fairs, but as means of
travel or tor any other permanently
useful purpose, the time and money
that has been expended in this line
seems about as useless as the long
continued but thus far futile search
for the north pole. However the
two seem closely linked together,
for when the pole is finally located
there will probably be an Aerial
Navigation Company ready to trans.
port tourists from all the Inhabited
points of the earth by air line, thus
avoiding the perils Of contact with
the northern ice bergs and the polar
bears. Equally as wonderful things
have happened. Who knows?

Want Advice From Roosevelt.
Coal Diegers Expect Him 10 Talk oo Strike
Situation.

Some Of the large coal companies
in The vicinity of Wilkes Barre have
ordered their colerles closed for a
period including August 10, the
day when President Roosevelt will
be there to address the miners and
temperance workers, and all the
smaller companies are expected to
do the same.
The mine workers have express
ed their intention of attending the
great event, and the operators seem
desirous that they should hear the
advice that President Roosevelt is
expected to give them. Union
officials are to invite the operators
to hear the address.
As President Roosevelt is faaii-
liar with conditions there, and also
aware of the fact that the three-year
agreement which he did so much
to gain for the miners, expires next
April, it has been expected ever
since he agreed to address the mine
workers that he would deem it his
duty to advise them in some way re-
garding the coming crisis, when
they will appeal to the operators for
renewal of the agreement and
further concessions. If he does not,
they will be greatly disappointed.
Fully a5o,o people are expect
ed there on that occasion, and the
miners have organized thorough
staff, not only to direct the parade,
but to handle the crowd and act in
a police capacity, in case such SER
vices should be needed.

Rural Free Delivery Increasing Rapidly,

Great is the rural free delivery
service, and it is going to be great
er. According to a st tement from
the postof6ce department, during
the past year nearly 4e. 900 applica-
tions for rural service were re-
ceived. UP to the close of the fiscal
year $4,000 had been rejected,
mostly because the proposed routes
fell below the standard in probable
patronage, and 7,492 were granted.
A good number remains to be pass
ed upon even if the demand does
fall off, which will not occur for
some time to come. On July Ist
there were in actual service 32,o5S
rural routes, many in such fine
shape that the department is pre-
pairing to have the boxes numbered
so that mail may be addressed to
box numbers as is now permitted
in the case OF postoffice boxes, This
move in itself may not Re a very i'm
portant improvement, but it is evil
dence that the authorities are bent
on making the service as nearly
perfect as may be, and as such it
will be welcomed. These thirty odd
thousand scouts of the postal SER
vice and incidentally Of progress
and enlightenment, cost the tax
payers pretty penny each year,
but they are worth all they cost.
The department was recently in
receipt of a communication from
Georgia that the telephone and the
rural delivery of mail have in.
creased land values from $40 to
500 per acre. Georgia isno excep-
ton, for all over the land the farm
er is beginning to feel the. benefits
that accrue from his being brought
into closer touch with the world.

States Telephone Business.
Three Hundred thousand Phones are In
Use In Pennsylvania.

An idea of the telephone business
in Pennsylvania can be had from
the reports issued by the Depart
ment of Internal Affairs, as all tele-
phone companies are required by
law to make these reports to the
state. From these reports it is
learned that there are, in addition
to the Bell company, eighty-seven
independent companies operating in
the state. The independents re-
port a total of 50, 532 telephones in
service, while the Bell companies
report 2I6.ot7 phones, making a
total of 29Y, $40.

FOR COUNTY AUDITOR,
c. L. HIRLEMAN
HARRY B. GREASY.
TO THE TAXPAYERS and VOTERS OF
COLUMBIA COUNTY

Several articles have recently ap-
peared in the county newspapers in
which are urged the expending OF
large sums of money in bnilding
additions to the Court House.
If this should be done it would be
adding heavy burden to the pre-
sent high tax rate and large county
debt.
feel therefore, that, as the reg
ular nominee of the Repblican Party
for the Office of County Commits
sioner, and asking the suffage Of
the people, I should give to the
voters and taxpayers of the county
a clear statement Of the position !
shall take in the matter if elected.
There is absolutely no necessity
for rebuilding or making additions
to the Court House.
| believe in taking the best care
of the property belonging to the
county, in keeping the buildings in
proper repair, and the bridges and
highways safe so that the people to
whom they belong shall be able to
use them in comfort or travel in
safety; but l do not believe in heap
ing upon the shoulders of the tax
payers of our county any increase of
Indebtedness or taxation beyond
what is plainly necessary to the
proper preservation and care of the
property for the use and needs of
the people.
If the voters Of the county shall
honor me by electing me as one OF
the Board of Commissioners,
pledge myself to look carefully and
conscientiously after the interests o.
every tax payer and the whole
people, and to exert every effort tC
reduce the county debt and to lesser
the burden of tax on the people anC
to conduct the Office with out any
waste Of public funds.
