lines. He says that it is very diff
cult to get all the information he de :
sires for the reason that there is no
provisions Of law whereby it is the
duty Of any Office in any county to
supply the information he asks for.
He says that the coming session of
the legislature will ask that a law be
passed making it the duty of county
assessors to inquire and ascertain
facts that are necessary to have iu
compiling statistics of acreage planl-
ed to various kinds Of crops in the
different parts of the state, says the
Idaho Statesman.
al think this information collect
ing should properly be the work of
county assessors, says Colonel Mil
Ter, ''for the reason that the assessor
is the only officer who must visit all
the property owners. | should have it
in order to make complete reports
which could be gotten by little extra
effort. 1t would only be neces-
sary for him to to ask few addition

In Colonel Miller's Office just at

grocers and meat dealers in Idaho for
the purpose of getting information
concerning the import and export Of

statistics showing the products ex-
ported in Idaho and the products
shipped in. A good deal Of canned
goods are shipped into Idaho and
considerable is also shipped out.

NIGHT PROVIDERS
CAUSE SUSPICION
Follow a Citizen and Attempt
Burglary

Last evening G. Arthur Goble, had
an experience which was exciting, to
say the least. Leaving the business
district about 1880 o'clock he pro-
ceeded to his undertaking parlors ON
Occur d'Alene street, between Third
and Fourth, and on reaching Occur
d'Alene street he noticed three men
standing on the opposite corner
When Mr.. Goble truned down Occur
d'Alene street the men followed him,
and on reaching his establishment,
Mr.. Goble walked in, locked the door
and truned out the light. The men
came TO the door and ATTEMPTED TO
force it open, but we're unable to do
so and finally left. Mr.. Goble then
turned on the light and started for
the Occur d'Alene Inn and found the
men standing by the Auditorium.
They followed him down town and
when he entered the Silver Grill they
stood in front of the Inn and waited
for him. Watching his chance, Mr..
Goble crossed the street where there
we're several people standing on the
porch of the Inn. The men did not
modest him, but as he passed them
one said that they would get him
some other time.
Later on three men tried to force
an entrance 10 the home of George
Palmerton, of the Lakeside Phar-
macy, but were unable TO do so.
About three o'clock in the morning
they gathered in front of the clothing
store Of E. Bjorklund on Sherman
street and tried and partly succeeded
in breaking one of the plate glass
windows in which gentlemen's suits
are displayed. They evidently used
a billy or the but Of a revolver, for
the hole made is a small one. One
of the clerks employed by Mr.. Bjork-
lund was sleeping in the store and
was awakened by the noise. As be
appeared at the door the three men
fed down the street and have net been
seen since. They were not seen by
the night Waterman and took pains TO
do their work when be was in the
other end Of the town.

CLUB DIRECTORS MEET

Last evening the directors of the
Occur d'AIene Commercial club, linn
tied, held a meeting in the council
chamber and transacted much impor-
tant business and discussed plans for
the future that will mean many i'm
provements to the city.
Among the business transacted was
the allowing of a number of bills
which the secretary was ordered to
draw warrants for. Following this,
the matter of the Swedish Luthern
college was taken up and discussed at
length, the means for raising the bal
ance of the s25, 600 being the princi-
pal topic. Several propositions were
put before the club, but nothing
definite was done in this matter be
yond appointing J. c. White and
'ohn B. Taylor as an additional COM
nlttee of two to assist the finance
committee in collecting and raising
NE balance of the funds. 1t was de-

Philip Harding who had so favora-
Oily filled the office of secretary, re-
signed last evening, giving as his rea-
son for doing so, absense from the
city and other business which would
not permit him to devote the neoes-
ary amount of time to the Office.
Inc directors expressed their regret
oVer his leaving and under the exist
'ng Circumstances his resignation was
accepted. The name Of Walter F.
BAKER was placed before the board as
candidate for the office and he was
sIected by a unanimous vote. Mr..
