Circus Next Tuesday.

A dog and pony show with feature
star is, getting the "tent show business
down to pretty fine point The Seibel
Bros. of Watertown, Wis.,, the latest
managers to enter this field of amuse-
ment, are responsible for the new order
of things. As Mr.. Chas. Froman pre-
sents Mr.. John Drew, SO do the Seibel
Bros. present Mr.. Monk Kokomo, three
sheet, hthograph and all. Kokomo is
supported by company OF 200, twenty
four of which are monkeys, rs are ponies
and IS are dogs. Each is wonderful
animal actor, but not star. To Ko-
komo belongs that honor absolutely,
and he is said to be the most wonderful
monkey in the world. Before joining
the Seibel Bros. Kokomo was New
York and Paris vaudeville performer,
and both the New York and Paris journ-
ais have devoted whole columns to his
"acts", and since joining the Seibel Bros.
he has proved his right to be featured as
headliner, even among SO many clever
four-footed performers.
He is said to be the nearest approach
to humanity which the ape world has
produced, and is the only animal in the
world which was ever brought to such a
state of civilization. He eats with a
knife and fork, has his meals with his
trainer, and even goes SO far as to use a
toothbrush. He appears in the arena in
full dress, silk hat, patent leather shoes,
overcoat and cane, and while he is "do
ing his act the ringmaster leaves the
ring entirely Kokomo has the center of
the stage and everything is stopped un-
til the stars turn is over. He entertains
for eight minutes, during which time he
makes monkey out of himself in more
ways than one. kokomo and support
ing company" will appear in Blackfoot
for two performances, commencing with
matinee Tuesday afternoon, when
Seibel Bros. shows make their initial
bow before local audience at Blackfoot.

GUILTY OF CONTEMPT.
Reprimanded and Released on Promise
to be Good.

The case which came up in connec-
tion with the division of the water re-
Gently in which three men were charg-
ed with contempt Of court for raising
headgates after they had been adjust
ed by the water commissioners, was
finished Wednesday. The parties were
Edward Priest, Hyrum Frew and Geo.
Rasmussen. The case was prosecuted
by Sam Rich and the defense was con-
Quoted by Briggs and McCntcheon, OF
Idaho Falls and Caleb Jones, of St.
Anthony. The defense maintained
that the order made by Judge Bulge
acting for Judge Stevens, was out of
his jurisdiction, and that Judge Ste
vens could not properly make such an
order till the decree was made. These
questions were overruled and the par
ties found guilty of contempt of court.
1t was expected that heavy fines would
be imposed, but the court stated that
as all parties were known to be law
abiding citizens, that as this was the
first case of the kind and difficult one
for the citizen to determine, and that
as one or more of them had misunder-
stood the time limit and had respected
it according to their understanding of
it, that fine would not be imposed. The
parties were reprimanded, the defense
promised in open court to respect the
orders of the court and the action of
the water commissioners and their
deputies, and to assist executing them.
This was an unexpected and very
happy termination of the case, and all
the parties went away rejoicing, to
make hay while the sun shines.

Back From Alaska.

Miss Margaret Keenan, of Mackay and
her sister, Mrs. Geo. MCGOWAN of Chal-
lis spent Sunday in Blackfoot on their
way home from visit to the exposition
and Alaska. They spent eight days at
Portland, then visited Tacoma and Seat
tie. and took the trip up the Alaskan
coast by steamer. The steamer com
pany gives round trip of thirteen days
for $500, and touches at number of
big canneries, the Treadwell Mine on
Douglass Island, Sitka, Skaguay and
four glaciers known as the Sitka, the
Taku, the Davidson and the Sumdum.
They travelled on different steamers at
different parts of the trip, stopping over
as long as they wished, and taking any
vessel that came along when they we're
ready to go again They Travelled on the
Cottage City, the Spokane and the Santa
Anna. The latter vessel is one that
took fire at sea on her way to Nome City
in 1900 when r. III. Hopkins and son
Charlie and Fred Fisher were among
her passengers. Failing to burn up she
was ouarantined and held at a little
island north of St. Michaels till MD
summer with all her eager gold hunters
aboard. In speaking Of the service on
these vessels, the ladies said it was very
nice, and chat there we're so many agree
able passengers from different parts Of
the world that it was great treat aside
from the scenery and the places visited
There is very noted character In
Alaska, Bishop Rowe, who works in the
interest of the Episcopal church, and
his diocese covers the whole Of Alaska,
$4,000 square miles, and he is known
all over the territory and held in rever-
ence by white men, while the natives
literally worship him. He takes steamer
trips along the coast in summer ano
spends the winter months "mushlng
inland with one companion and the doe
team. He knows the Yukon, the Tanana

Nome country, and while we are ceie-

Sold Them in Salt Lake City.

w. r. Kivett of Arco went to Salt
Lake City last week where he closed a
mining deal disposing Of group OF
claims near Arco, in the Lava creek
district, for 100000, to Chicago parties.
This is one of the most important trans
fers of Blaine county mining property
made for some time. The new owners
took immediate possessions end expect TO
put the property in the dividend paying
class. Considerable development work
had been done on the property when
Mr.. Kivett and his associates took hold
of it about six months ago, and such
showing was secured that the Chicago
experts soon made satisfactory report.

IDAHO'S WEALTH.
Gain of Over Six Million Dollars in The
Past Year.

The state board of equalization are in
session this week. The reports from
the different counties have all been re-
ceived, and the footings of the valua-
tions as returned to the board shows an
aggregate assessment for the state, ex-
elusive of railroad, telegraph and tele-
phone lines, of S62,O83, ,70367, the cor
responding reports for last year having
been only $56,O53621.59. The net in
crease, therefore, since 1904 has been
So, ,O3O,OS3.Os.
The value Of the land Of the state has
been placed rediculously low. In Ada
county, for illustration, the average
assessed valuation is but sl3.1l 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 s2.1O per
acre.
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-
the patented land of the county to be
worth only from 81 to IS, all the other
counties ranging between s. and $6.97
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 $15,500 Owyhee with 1896, 6,Osl.77
and Shoshone with 1885,, ,s11.6O. The
total amounts to $3,2O9, ,4O3.37.
Other counties, however, report min
ing improvements, four having mining
bitches, nine patented mining land, eight
have quartz mills and three concentrat-
ors! Nine counties report other improv-
ments on mining claims.
There are seven counties IN the state
with irrigating bitches, and IA counties
report l47 sawmills. There are IA plan
ing mills in five counties, and q grist
mills in eight counties.
The three sugar factories in Fremont
and Bingham counties, one in the form
er and two in the latter, are assessed for
s61O34S.
DULY eight counties report having any
watches or jewelry, the aggregate value
OF these luxuries being s29O5.
A fact that may create much salts
faction in the breasts Of the temperance
workers is that only II Of the q count

Rowe says that the agricultural exhibit
at the exposition is little misleading.
That it is not fair to call it sample of
the Alaska crops, but rather, it is the
whole crop. He says the minerals and
and fisheries are the main staples of the
territory, although he spoke of natural
meadows away up on the Tanana, where
the grass grows five feet high, and they
could NOW straight swath five miles
long
"Yes, we are very glad we went. That
is one of the trips that very few persons
will ever regret if they take it."

Concrete Houses

1t is only within the last few years
that concrete has been used as house
building material. A number of large
firms in the United States are now man
ufacturing concrete blocks, called rein
formed concrete, for use in place OF
bricks or cut stone. Another form OF
this comparatively new building material
is armored concrete, for the building OF
huge bridges or other large solid struct.
ures. In this work the structure is
"armored" with steel rods and the soft
concrete is poured into moulds around
the rods allowed to harden. Notable in
stances of recent armored concrete con-
structon are the great railroad bridge
across the Mississippi river at Thebes,
ILL.,, opened to traffic only few months
ago, and the new Mckinley High School
building in st. Louis. The Thebes bridge
is one of the wonders of modern con-
struction.
Building houses with concrete blocks
is simpler method. The blocks are
moulded by machinery made for the pur-
pose, in whatever size and pattern may
be desired. They are then laid like
stone or brick and cemented with NOR
tar. The museum of Arts at the Lewis
and Clark Exposition is made of con-
crete blocks. On the grounds are sew
eral smaller buildings, put up by exhib-
itors, of the same construction. The
visitor may see the process of making
the blocks, there being several concerns
at the Exposition which turn them out
every day. The common black sand, so
abundant in the western country, is used
in connection with cement, and the
blocks harden so that they are as solid
as natural stone. 1t is held by some
scientists that the great pyramids of
Egypt, which have withstood the wear
and tear of centuries, are built Of con-
crete instead of stone.
The house built of concrete blocks
certainly looks very durable. Any sort
of ornamentation desired may be had,
by making the mould of the proper pat
tern, One of the houses built at the
Portland Fair has the appearance of
stone with the outer surface left rough.
Another is smooth, taking paint readily.
Manufacturers of this kind Of building
material claim that it is much cheaper
than cut stone, and they declare that is
to be the popular material of the future,
and that the cement or concrete house
twenty five years from now will be as
common sight as is the concrete side
walk of today.
Many people daily watch the process
Of making the concrete blocks, at the
several establishments near the Mining
and Metallurgy building. Small souve-
mir blocks are given out to those who
are particularly interested.
w. s. Skinner, superintendent of the
National Live Stock Show in Chicago. is
getting together trainload of Short
horns, Hereford, Pole Angus and Gallo
way breeds for exhibition at the Fair.
The State of Missouri has appropriated
5000 for special premiums to be award
ed the Missouri cattle making the best
showing at the Fair, and other infu-
ences combine to assure the success OF
this department of the show.

Saying Nice Things.

Portland Journal: The new hostesses
for August have arrived at the Idaho
building to assist Mrs. Scott, but moth
ing has been given at the building be-
cause of the excessive heat. Lemonade
and punch have been served to visitors,
however, and have been found most ac-
ceptable these hot days. Later some
formal affairs are talked of. The new
hostesses are Mrs. M. A. Kurtz of Nam
pa, Mrs. Shilling of Rupert, and Miss
Clark of Shoshone, and they are rapidly
making warm friends.
There have been number of distin-
guished visitors the past week who have
spent several hours with their friends at
"Idaho." John w. Foster of Washing
ton, D. c., was among them. His wife
has been actively connected with num-
Der of the women's campaigns of Idaho.
Dean Kinks, of the Episcopal cathedral
of Boise, and Mrs. Kinks, Senator Hey
burn and w. K. Borah were also there.

FOR TARIFF INVESTIGATION.

/, After all the stories that have come
out of Washington since before con-
gress convened have been sifted down
and the grains of real truth separated
from the chaff of Imagination, the
country learns that President Roose-
yelt is determined on legislation which
will put the power to fix correct rail-
road freight rates in the hands OF the
interstate commerce commission,
that he believes the tariff ques-
ton should. be investigated and
that any schedules which need re-
yising should be revised. The tariff
plan is the one suggested by the Cou-
rier and the other papers Of the Lee
Syndicate Of Iowa Evening Newspa-
pers. It Is obviously the wise one. It
does not contemplate tariff ripping nor
a direct ignoring of the demand made
in some quarters for revision. 1t
makes q policy which cannot
but be fair to both sides and need not
disturb business only to such an ex-
tent that the benefits gained from the
changes. If changes are made, will
counterbalance the loss caused by the
shock to business which would natur-
ally follow any event SO important as
an investigation having as It's possible
end the changing of some tariff sched-
ules.s
President Roosevelt is carrying out
the pledges of the platform on which
he was elected last November. He is
doing his duty.
