through the columns OF the Yakima
Republic as follows:
Editor RepuDlic:-I hope you VIII

against the way you tell about the
mice cf land on Mob Hill. You say in
last nights paper that land sold as
high as $1,000 per acre. Now 1t Is no
more accurate to say that than
would be TO say that lot in the city
sold fer $1,000 when 1t had build
ing on II worth $4,000. The truth
of the matter is ;hat this land that
sold for $4,000 had a coed bearing or
chatd on It worth three times as much
as the land. But the law does not al
low an orchard to be assessed, so the
assessor picks out II few tracts OF land
with bearing orchards on, that mas
sold fcr a high figure; then he assesses
the balance of the land on the assump-
tion that II is worth just as much. or
course the assessor tells us that Is net
his fault; that we have no orchards IN
hearing. Rut the reason we do not
have them is that they do not grow up
like n mushroom--in one night.
To show what returns we get from
the land when II has not good bear

SCALED MT. HYNDMAN.
Oklahoma Professor Climbs Idaho,
Highest Peak.

Mountain climbing Is one of T. c.
Bacon's diversions while away on
camping trip with Professor Ray
Green of Guthrie high school, Okla,
says the Boise Statesman. Both are
eager geologists and keen for adven-
ture as we'll, and yesterday word
came from Ketchum, Ida, near where
they are in camp. that they have ef-
fected successful ascent of Mount
Hyndman, the highest peak in the
state and though not as high as Pixies
Peak, by far more difficult and dan
gerous.
The ascent was begun with a team
of horses, the two adventures driving
up the gradual slope until the nature
of the ascent and of the passes neces-
STATED resorting to mules. Mounted
in this fashion, several miles more
were left behind and below, until
finally, with 1900 feet still to go, they
abandoned the animals and bravely
commenced a hand-over-hand ascent,
through some OF the most treacher-
Gus crags and juts in the world.
The long climb consumed many
hours and when finally the two reach
ed the very summit they had accom-
plished what but a single party OF
mountaineers has ever done before.
The previous ascent was made by
officials OF the United States geologi'
cal survey over 10 years ago, ant
since that time 1t is not known au
thentically that the ascension ha:
been successfully accomplished by an,
but these two men.
The height of the peak is 1905
feet. according to Section Director
Wells, of the weather bureau. T. c
Bacon is resident of Boise and ,
student at Baker university.
