THE SPIRIT OF
THE GEM STATE
Address Delivered BY Avery 6. Moore, of
COeur d A|ene. at the Idaho
Press Club

there are many who have realized
it, and in their souls they under
stand. They have tuned their
hearts to the melody of her noun
tain rivers, and they have heard a
message of golden promise in the
breezes from her eternal hills.
They have looked with grateful eyes
upon her fertile plains and valleys,
and they have recounted to their
wondering children the deeds of
her patriot dead.
And why not be proud of Idaho
The majestic Teton mountains
rival in scenic beauty the wild
grandeur of Switzerland. They are
not alone the boast of the people of
Fremont, but of every citizen of
Idaho who stands in admiration be-
fore them.
The placid waters of Bear Lake,
that mirror back the sapphire skies
OF ldaho's southeastern border, are
the common possession of the north
and the south.
Kootenai's crystal st. Joe river,
without a counterpart in beauty in
all of Natures wide dominions. de-
lights the heart of every Idahoan
who sails enraptured through it's
sylvan shadows.
The awe inspiring cataract Of
Shoshone, sublime and majestic as
Niagara, is the proud boast Of the
people of Idaho wherever they
live
No Garden of the Godsp that
human eye has discovered is more
enchanting than Cassia's "City
Rocks" of granite.
The mountain lakes of Scotland,
told in song and story the world
around, are not. more beautiful than
ldaho's Payette and Pend Ore lille.
Men who have searched the world
for Natures Paradise are helping to
build the "City Beautiful" on the
evergreen shores of Lake Coeur
d Alene
And we are not only proud of
what the people of Idaho have, but
we are proud of all they have done.
The redemption of our arid plains
by the brave men and women of the
south, constituting an undertaking
and accomplishment in reclamation
greater than the sun ever witness
Id, rejoices the citizens of the nor
thern forests not less than it re-
ioiCes you.
There IS an inspiration for all in
he memory of our border heroes
he men who offered 1up their lives

ASSESSORS EXPLAIN
COUNTIES SHORTAGE
tImore and Fremont Counties Assessors
Appear Before the State Board
of Equalization

report made to the boards
Mr.. Hansen, the assessor of FIRE.
mont county, in explanation of the
discrepancy said, "There was $500
sheep reported on the main assess
ment roll and by footnotc on the
same sheet, the county auditor of
Fremont county reported $4,000
more sheep. Another flock Of 84,-
300 migratory sheep for approxirn-
atley six months will be included
in the subsequent report to be made
to the state board the first of the
year. -
OF the patented lands which are
missing, Mr.. Hansen said: sTn
the assessment for 1906. 15.2O0
acres were doubly assessed, and
over 10, 900 acres of land reported
as waste land, which should be de-
Quoted as the land is not tillable or
fit for cultivation. In the subse-
duent assessments to go on the roll
there are 30, 600 sheep to come, and
over $4,000 acres of patented
lands. .
Explaining the cause of so much
trouble, Mr.. Hansen said: sMy
predecessor did not leave any plats
for me TO wolk with and had to
send men out to make observations
and from those odds and ends had
much trouble in making my asess-
nent.
Both of the assessors stated that
they we're in the hills when the
news of she.shortage reached them
and that their assessment rolls were
questioned as they imagined that
everything was satisfactory when
they turned their assessment rolls
over to the recorders of their re-
spectiye counties.
In spraNng Of the above County
Auditor Smith stated that il was
an error in footing up the columns
properly. The figures were not ia
the correct decimal columns and
the oversight in adding would be
Q very easy matter when the large
is cosidered. The acreage
is absolutely correct and only the
small error in properly placing the
figures where they belonged caused
the mistake.

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 20. In ac-
cordance with the instructions of
the state board of equalization.
Frank w. Boyd and N. p. Hansen.
the assessors of E1more and FIRE.

before that body this morning at the
session held in the office of the Sec
retary of the state to account for

as reported by the recorders of the
above named counties on the roll for
1907.
All members of the board, except
the governor, were present at the
closed session. Nothing would be
given out by the members of the
board in regard 70 the proceedings
or explanations made by the county
assessors, and the session was evil
IDENTITY a rather stormy one as MIR.
Boyd and Mr.. Hansen emerged
from the room, apparently much in
dignant that their assessment re-
turns had been doubted
Everything was explained satis-
factorily TO the board, - said both Of
the county assessors when question
ed in regard to the result of the
meeting, ''and, although no action
was taken by the board, everything
will be accounted for in the subse-
quent assessment rolls which will
be made later in the year. "
Frank w. Boyd, the assessor for
Elmore, county in reply to ques-
tion as to how such mistake had
been made in the .assessnseut roll
tor 1907, said: 1T was the fautlt
of the recorder Of Elmore county in
not reporting the number of acres
as they were on the assessment roll,
and there is also a portion of the
patented lands on the subsequent
assessment roll which | will make

DR.. Ball Returns from Spokane.

DR.. Ball, of Monmouth, H., who
has been making Mountain Home
his headquarters for the past six
weeks, has just returned to the
city from a trip to Spokane.
While away he visited the famous
irriagted districts of W ashington
and Oregon, and reports that none
looks quite as good to him as the
lands surrounding Mountain Home.
He IS glad he went because it
gave him an opportunity to see
and compare the widely advertised
lands with this valley where he
intends to purchase and locate He
stated that things were very quiet
and there was a lack of the busi-
ness activity and hustle that is
characteristic of Mountain Home.
He is glad to get back because he is
now fully convinced that this is the
greatest country in the land.
There IS more opportunity here for
a man with limited means to get
in on the lands than there is in the
western counry where everything
has been doomed to top-notch
prices, said DR.. Ball to the Nav
erick. And as far as actual val
ues are concerned, / could see no
difference. People all along the
line are greatly interested in Noun
tain Home and their enquiries in
dicate that Montain Home is fast
gaining the attention of the entire
west.

Mr. Toastmaster and Gentle
men The letter which ordered my
appearance at this festive board,
gracefully, and with due regard for
proportion, admitted that the motive
was to secure the presence of 'a
real person of Importance. | offer
this to my fellow guest, Mr.. Brady
with my best wishes for his
continued complacency.
This is a distinguished company,
gentlemen, and | am glad to be here.
Every editor present presides over
the destinies of ''the leading news
paper in 1.-The most rapidly grow
ing town. in the greatest state" of
''the mightiest nation the world
has ever KNOWN You preach that
because you believe it, and because
you preach it you are doing your
community and your state a service
for which money cannot pay and
generally doesn't try to pay. In
other words yon take pride in say
ing good things about Idaho and
find the best possible reward in do
ing so. That is a good thing for
ldaho-and for you.
The pride that our sellow-citi-
zens take in their state counts for
more than all her material resources
taken tJgether, wonderful and var
led as they are. 1t is a pride which
converts the material things into
blessings. The love of home is the
essence of patriotism, and America
is rich in patriotism in proportion
TO the affection that the citizen
holds for the state in which he
lives. Some day the realization
that this is true will come home TO
the whole people of idaho Some
day we will see the danger and folly
of being citizens of a section of Ida
10 instead of citizens of the state
of daho. Some day we will under
stand that the interests and ambi-
tions of all are interviewer, and, in
the larger sense, identical. And
with that realization VIII come
state pride in Idaho, and then the
all-conqueripg Idaho Spirit, y
which as the Capital News reminds
us, we should build up and pre-
serve.
Every Idaho citizen has reason to
be proud of his state, not alone for
his immediate locality, but of every4
section of the commonwealth, for
in no other INLAND state is there
assembled more that is rich and
potential and sublime.

Washington, D. C., March 1.-Sen- ator Newlands of the Alaska Road Commission stated in committee room last night that he advocated government assistance TO all bona fide railroads in Alaska. He made the contention that railro ads benefit the country and as such should be assist ed at least until they had secured a firm footing. He cited the instance of the railroad now building from Cordova Bay to the Yukon which would open up an immense amount of .ces'tery now practically ',l1ss.slored, which if it comes up anywhere near the expectations of those who have been over the route will double Alaska's copper output
