that line.

County Assessor George H. Moore
stated in an interview that the final
agreement reached at the assessors
meeting in Boise was in general to
assess on a so per cent basis. He
states that the spirit of the meeting
was to assess at the full cash value,
but that the State Board refused to
hold the large corporations, railroads
etc., up to this mark, and the as
SCISSORS refued to allow the people
to pay more than the corporations.
In executive session it was deter
mined to be more careful in assess
ing farms. Heretofore, land has
been assessed at very low and the
improvement at very high valua'
ton, and it was decided to raise the
assessment on the land and lower II
on the improvements. By doing
this it is thought that the burden
of the taxes would be more event!
distributed.
Mr.. Moore says that a proposition
was brought forward at the close o
the executive session that, Will
they should assess on a so per cen
basis, yet they should announce tina
they intended to use the cash basis
| He and one or two others refused t
be parties to this deception, and thi
may account for the conflicting stol
les that have been published as t
what really was the result of tn
meeting.

Rev. SteeInan.

Rev. H. B. Steelman passed thru
Mountain Home on Friday to the
pastorate of the church at Caldwell.
For ten years Mr.. Steelman was pas
tor of the first Baptist church OF Salt
Lake City. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Ham
ilton were members of the Salt Lake
Lake church during Mr.. Steelman's
pastorate, Mrs. Hamilton having been
baptized in the church. The Lord
has certainly been gracious to the
Caldwell people in sending them such
a man. A genial, quiet, scholarly
man, deeply pious. In all his min
istrations he combines tenderness
and tact in a most helpful and un-
conscious manner. Dignity and poise
marks his ministry and In no wise
is he lacking as a true and faithful
minister of the gospel of the Lord
| Jesus. While true to his own de-
nomination, he has ever been &C
customed to respond to the call OF
others to help from time to time and
has thus endeared himself to all.
The city of Caldwell also is to be
congratulated. 1t is doubtful II ever
beore a man came who brought more
of those things which makes a towr
truly rich. After Mr.. Steelman lef
Salt Lake he went to st. Paul wher'
he was pastor of one of the large
, churches. He Is compelled to COM
west again because of reasons o
health. The Waterman bids you
hearty welcome to Idaho.-Watch

HOW The CAPITOL
CAME TO BOISE

There is an interesting bit of his
tory in connection with the location
of the state capitol at Boise.
When Idaho was territory Con-
gress made Lewiston the capital. That
was then the most populous part of
the State.
Soon, however, gold was discover
ed in the Boise basin and other local.
tiles in southern Idaho. This shift
ed the center of population so that
when the second session of the terri
torial legislature convened bill was
passed removing the capital to Boise.
Not willing to give it up, Nez Perce
County issued writ of injunction
against the removal of the seal and
archives from Lewiston, and further
they issued a writ to restrain the
governor from leaving the territory
for the only then practical route to
Boise from Lewiston was by a de-
tour thru parts of oregon and Wash
ington. The governor, however, wal
foud of duck hunting and one hn'
June morning embarked on thu
Clearwater to shoot. Accidentally
on purpose he drifted down into tn
Snake River which swept him to tn
Washington side. The boat was ira
ded for a horse and buggy whic
took him to Walla Walla. In du
time he reached Boise never return
ing to Lewiston.
The property of the territory wa
finally moved to Boise which eve
since has remained the capital. TT
disaffected northern portion of tn
State then tried to secure divisio
and an annexation to Washingte
territory. Congress passed 'bl
granting this but it was never signf
by the president,

the board were of the most friendly
character and they seemed united
upon all propositions that could be
taken up at this time. The govern
or's personal prejudices and his de-
sire for exploitation seems to have
led conclusions from the first meet
ing that were entirely unwarranted
and the conspicuous headlines given
to its account of the meeting and the
way in which it eulogized the gov
ernor disguised everyone, as it show
ed so plainly that the governor him
self had fixed up the article in the
Statesman for his sole benefit. 1t had
a bad effect upon the meeting but a
great deal more of good was accom-
plished nevertheless"
