Joyful news to the fruitgrowers Of
the Grande Ronde Valley. Agent j..
H. Keeney announces that the o. r..
& N. has reduced its rate on fruits
from Elgin and all intermediate points
between there and Portland. on car

fruit can be shipped from Elgin, La
Grande, or any other point between
here and Elgin at the rate of 40 cents
per 100 pounds, where the shipment

rates have decreased materially, the
growers will be able to realize larger
margin of profit on their fruit. There
will also be a reduction on the inter-
state rates, going into effect August

fective yesterday.
Also, joyful news to the wood ship

RAISED BANSocK ASSESSMENT.
100000, Including tlse City OF Poca-
tellO,

II the assessment of town lots and
improvements, stocks of merchandise
and of wines and liquors in the city
of Pocatello is permitted by the state
board of equalization this year to
stand as equalized by the board of
county commissioners, Pocateilo prop
erty owners will this year pay taxes
on close to 100000 more than they
did last year, states the Pocatello Tri-
bune. This will mean that the city
council will derive something more
than $4,000 extra, which will about
make up for the loss of revenue
caused by the closing of the Walled
City,
And if the state board keeps its
hands off the Bannock county assess
ment as a whole the county will de-
rive a revenue on close to 100000
more property than 1t did last year.
In 1906 the assessed valuation of the
real estate and improvements in Ban
mock county as equaIized by the coun-
ty commissioners was $2,264,4 ,461; per-
sonal property, $635,559. This year
the real estate and Improvements foot
up $2,2S1.SO1. and the personal prop
erty $16T,4S3.

Gallet, as showing an abstract from
the 1907 tax rolls as they come from

evil in Seoul is it's ability to suppress
the odors which rise up from It's
dreadful thoroughfares.
Seoul is the home of mourners. In
deed 1t may be said literally with the
scriptures that "the mourners go
about the streets" When a Korean
is bereaved by the death of a close
relative he is entitled to mourn his
loss for a period of three years. and
during this time he is not expected to
perform any labor. AS the average
male Korean processes of lofty scorn
for labor at any time, 1t is quite to
be expected that the period of woe Is
accepted with resignation If not en-
braced with JOY by nearly all.

REMARKABLE "PACTNG OFF"
Idaho Forest Ranger stepped 227i
Feet to the Inch.

rect TO tne incn.
The Pocatello Tribune tells of a, re-
markable feat at that town of a can
didate for forest ranger during his
examination:
How would you like to be able to
step off couple of thousand PAGES so
accurately that when the distance is
measured over again with a steel tape,
it would be found exactly the distance
you figured from your PAGES? This
is what George Severe, of Oakley,
Ida, can do. Mr.. Severe is taking
the civil service examination in this
city for the position of forest ranger
under Supervisor Peter Wrested, of
the Pocatello, Portneuf, Cassia and
Raft river reserves.
The examinations, which are being
taken by twelve applicants, are being
held in the city hall, and yesterday
one of the scheduled problems was
the measurement of distance by pac-
ing. Severe stepped off 2274 feet be-
tween two stakes and announced the
distance When the distance was
checked over with a steel tape 1t was
found to be 2274 feet to an inch
This is a remarkable performance
One other applicant came within
foot of the correct distance. Some oi
them missed It over a hundred feet

Sporting Notes.

There will be a game next week We'd
nesday evening on the local floor when
Springfield will stack up alongside the
Athletics The Springfield team was
here once before and made a pitiable
exhibition. This time they intend to
give the Athletics a run for their mon
ey and have signed "Bucky" Lew and
Church of Lowell, Mass. They Will
also have Matthew, Barney and Lam
bert in the lineup.
A letter has been received from the
st. Johnsbury management cancelling
the game which was scheduled to be
PLAYED between the Athletics and Com
pany D at st. Johnsbury tonight. An
excuse given is that the management
is unable to secure players and the
game is postponed until the evening of
March l. Perhaps the st. Johnsbury
manager has an attack of frozen pedals
and still remembers his lesson of the
last game when several men failed to
show up. 1t is quite possible that he
may wish to stave off defeat as long
as he is able, and takes this way Of
doing it.

strong enough to cope with the Brat
tleboro bunch.
The game itself was pretty contest
and attracted a big crowd, but the only
uncertainty was what the hnal score
would be. The Athletics seemed able
TO score at will and all the baskets that
the visitors shot looked like pure gifts
on the part of the locals. Haggerty
did some good shooting but for tne
number of chances that he had should
have scored more baskets. All his team
passed the ball to him and he was sup
posed to do the tallying. His left.
handed shots were fine and he missed
several by a narrow margin. The 10,
calls played together in good shape ana
were fast and aggressive all the way
They never let up from start to hnlsh
and kept their opponents always on the
jump.
Harding. who was here with Turner's
Falls in the last game, was with the
Athletics and showed that he is one
of the best players that has tramped
the floor here in many day. lie
shot II baskets and played the game
for all it was worth. In the scrimmages
was where he shone, and once Eilis
learned that air ships and wings are
not necessary for aerial navigation
when he was propelled through the
ozone over the head Of the center from
Holyoke. Davey played one OF the best
games that he has ever put up on the
local floor. His work was great IN
blocking and passing and he was the
man who passed the ball to Harding
for a basket seven different times. he
shot in good shape and played Wen
against the bulky Sheridan. Boutwell,
PLAYED a good individual and team
game. in fact his team work was the
best that he has displayed this year
Stafford playing at guard did too mucn
shooting for the basket and left his
man uncovered too much. However,
his work was good Doran was there
with good, steady game, as usual
His work was not startling but Wheh
he was needed he was always present.
He worked in one or two shots that
were handles.
The Athletics shot seven baskets be-
fore Haggerty scored for the visitors
and then the brace did not last. The
Athletics kept pulling farther and
farther away. There seemed to De
no end to the number of baskets that
they could score if they wished.

visitors showed an inclination to ques-
tion his decisions. The summary:

Athletics last Friday evening in the
third game in the series of the basket

score was 46 to IS. The st. Johnsbury

it was planning to spring at the proper

cards and left the magnate of Company

of the royal straight on which he was
banking. The scheme was to have

that Sheridan and Follansbee of that
