DAHO'S TAX VALUATION.
Greatest Increase OF Any One Glass
Was OF Railroads.

The total assessed valuation of the
state of Idaho, as fixed by the state
board Of equalization from the re-
ports of the county auditors from the
assessments Of the various counties,
will reach nearly $100,0OO,O0O says
the Boise Capital News.
The figures on the total. excepting
sheep, is ss6,447.7S9.30. The valua-
ton of shep last year was s2,26S,63S.
The board has compelled the return
of many more sheep this year and has
equalized their value at 80 cents a
head more than that year, SO that
nearly million dollars on sheep,
which will raise the total to about
500, 100000. There Is always some
subsequent valuations sent in which
go into the total of the years valua-
tion. This subsequent list will un-
doubtedly increase the total valuation
to the $100,O0O,000 figure. This is
an increase Of over s18,000,000 over
the report of last year.
The greatest increase in any single
property was that of railroads. The
main lines were valued at $4,000, an
increase of $2700 over last year. The
branch lines, as a rule, were subject
ed to even greater increase than
were the main lines.
On most of the valuations Governor
Gooding stood alone, the values being
fixed by unanimous action of the rest
| of the board.
On railroads, it is understood that
the balance Of the board agreed up
on the entire schedule during the alb
sence of the governor and then upon
his return read the list to him with
the explanation that the list had been
agreed upon.
The governor was not satisfied with
the valuations as given. He made a
motion that main lines be assessed at
$4,000 instead of $4,000 as agreed
upon by the board, but his motion re-
ceived no second. It has been stated
that the governor wanted the main
lines assessed at $4,000, but this ia
not correct.
The governor also objected to the
valuations upon branch lines. But
this objection was that they were too
high and he wanted them reduced,

LUMBER RATE CONTEST.
Idaho Lumbermen VIII Strive for a
Differential.

Idaho lumber manufacturers will
make an Independent fight for re-
duction of the railroad rates that the
transcontinental lines will put into
effect October l, says the Spokane
Chronicle. They are to insist upon
n 10-cent differential in favor of the
Idaho lumber interests, something
that coast manufacturers can not ac-
cept, and that this prevents an alli-
ance between the coast and the inte-
rior on the general proposition of OPP
posing the advance in lumber and
shingle rates, on which the two asso-
Citations are agreed.
They will fight any rate Increase to-
gether, but as side issue the Idaho
manufacturers, the eastern Oregon
and eastern Washington woodwork
ing manufacturers will request diff
ferential of 10 cents per 100 pounds
in their behalf.
Word to this effect received by the
Pacific coast combine of lumber asso-
Citations has led to a decision to pro-
ceed with the Independent coast fight
" plCNSiil llc VI llit
advance in lumber rates. Whatever
is done by the Idaho manufacturers
and the lumbermen Of eastern Oregon
and eastern Washington in opposition
to the roads will aid the coast manu-
facturers, but to the appeal for a diff
ferential of 10 cents will be opposed.
r, L. Mccormick, secretary OF the
Weyerhaeuser Timber company, Is
now on his way east and will consult
with J. J. Hill before he returns.
Since Mccormick and Hill have been
business associates, Mccormick be-
lieves he will be able to induce the
Great Northern magistrate to give up
the plan of raising rates. The execu-
tive committee handling the coast
lumbermen's fight has no sympathy
with the Mccormick movement.

TRAVELLING IN EUROPE.
What II Means to Ride Second Glass on
tho Raiiroade.

A delusion Of the guidebooks is the
advice to ride second class on tls rail
roads of Europe. 1t is often pointed
out that first class and second class are
frequently but divisions Of the same
car, and this makes a great impression
on the inexperienced traveller, particu-
larly If his purse is limited. Landing
at Plymouth, Southampton, Havre,
Cherbourg, Liverpool, you are at once
conveyed to London or Paris on steam
er trains" under the same excellent
conditions that have prevailed on your
trip, but thereafter you are at your
own resources, and II you are wise you
will not only travel first class, but you
will see to 1t that your seat is always
engaged well ahead. If you travel sec
ond class between cities that CORE.
spond to New York and Philadelphia
say where intercourse Is frequent and
numerous, you will most likely have
to stand up In all second class com
partments. To get second class seat
between Vienna and Budapest for ex
ample, Is about like boarding train
for Coney Island at Brooklyn bridge OIL
a summer Sunday afternoon, and II
you do get a seat somebody else sand
witches and sausages on your lap.
Another point to be remembered Is
that in Europe you cannot engage Q
whole sleeping compartment for your
self, as you can here. You have tc
show ticket for each berth. There
fore 1t behooves the person travelling
alone at night to seek out before ar
ranging the trip some suitable com
panion or for parties Of three or five o.
any odd number to make similar pro
visions.-Travel Magazine.

A BATTLE FOR A HAT.
And How tho Victor In the Struggle
Lost tho Trophy.

And How the Victor In the Struggle
Lost the Trophy.
Verdi had stepped from an incom-
ing train in Genoa once at time when
Marquis di Rudini, the italian premier.
was In the station. The marquis rec
ognized the musician and requested
the station master to introduce him.
He greeted Verdi warmly, congratulate
ed him on his fine health and wished
him many more years Of life.
After taking leave Of the premier
Verdi went to the station buffet and on
returning to his train forgot his hat
This was an opportunity not to be lost
by two admirers Of the musician. They
had been watching him long, and now
they simultaneously sprang for the
hat Both reached 1t at once, one
selling one side Of the brim and the
other the opposite. A lively combat
ensued, and the two swayed backward
and forward In their desire to retain
the treasure. The lady came of VIC
torious. "Ahw she exclaimed trium-
phantly. "Now I've got 1t, and intend
to keep I'll"
Her surprise was only equaled by
his dlsmay when gentleman who
had been watching the conflict for
some time stepped forward with the
remark, "But this is my hatp' A loud
laugh rang out from the onlookers, a
laugh IN which even the combatants
were fain to join. The hat changed
hands, and the lady changed color
when a moment or two later she saw
the trap into which she had fallen.
1t was the hat Of the great composer,
and the stranger had secured 1t by an
unjustlfable ruse.
