BUSINESS MEN TAKE a HAND.
Want the Saloons Closed on Sunday
at North Yakima.

North Yakima. Wash, Sept 16.--
As protection against drunken Indi-
ans, business men htve commenced
an agitation for Sunday saloon clos
ing in the future, or at least till the
hop picking season is over.
The big firm Of Coffin Bros, Otter
Bros. and the II. II. Schott company
have given notice that they will not
keep open store during hop picking
season, as has been the custom, and
other business men will follow suit.
Last Sunday several hundred Indi-
ans came to the city to buy goods.
They came from the hop fields, where
they had been working during the
week. Finding three saloons open,
they proceeded to get drunk. Those
who did not get in the city lookup,
about so In all, took their liquor and
went to the country. They made life
miserable for large number of white
people Sunday evening.
In consequence of this debauch and
the violation of the law by saloons
the city council will at once take steps
to revoke all licenses where the pro-
prietors keep open on Sunday. The
situation has become critical in the
Yakima valley and the farmers trav-
cling from the outlying districts carry
arms as a protection against drunken
Indians.

LITIGATION PROMISES.
Shoshonc County Starts IL Row That
May BE Endless.

Boise, Sept. 16.-A matter which
threatens to involve the state of Idaho
in a long series of suits by the various
counties of the state has been brought
to the attention of the state adminis-
tration by the county commissioners
OF Shoshone county. Contending that
the sum the state board of equaliza-
tion fixed as Shoshone county's share
of the state tax is unconstitutional, the
board of commissioners of that coun-
ty have declined to consider the entire
sum when fixing the county levy for
1905. According to the opinion OF the
board and the county attorney of Sho-
shone county the amount asked as its
share of the state tax exceeds the
constitutional limit by over $4,000,
and this sum was eliminated in COM
putting the county levy.
The constitution provides in section
3, article Z, that. when the assessed
valuation of the state exceeds the
sum of $4,000 the levy for state pur-
poses shall not exceed five mills. The
assessed valuation of Idaho is approx
imately $75, 100000. The assessed
valuation of Shoshone county for 1905
is $6,14S, S,20S.76, and a five mill levy
on this sum would amount to $780,
741.04 According to the apporuon-
ment made by the state board of
equalization Shoshone's share of the
state tax is SAL .445.05. being $10,-
, 704.41 in excess of the constitutional
Limitation. The county authorities
contend that Shoshone should not pay
this large sum in excess of the limit,
and in computing the county levy, the
commissioners arranged to raise only
$30,741.O4 for the state. instead OF
$41, 1,445.05.
If the contention of the commission
ers and county attorney OF Shoshont
are correct. every county in the state
will be similarly affected, although
not to the same extent os Shoshone

proxirnately ofie-twclfth that % tbs
