A year ago this summer the papers
recorded a divorce case which did not
detail all the points of the case. The
plot of this little story centered round
fiat iron. Now if he had bought her an
electric iron she would not have been
so cross after ironing day and it would
have been pleasant surprise for her.
These electric irons generate their heat
entirely within themselves and conse-
quently that heat is exactly where it
is wanted They cost but little when
new and are economical to operate as
well as being useful in the parlor or
spare room or wherever she can find the
coolest breezes on a hot summer s day.
These irons are on display at the Gas
Office and if you have not experienced
the comforts obtained from them the
Gas Co. will let you borrow one for
week S trial to prove the above asser-
ton. The electric iron not only solves
the divorce problem but makes many
happy homes happier. Call and see
them or telephone JOG to have one sent
on trial.

FOR MILITIA
BATTALION OF NORTHERN IDA
H0 WILL BE GIVEN TARGET
PRACTICE AT FORT WRIGHT
EARLY IN THE SUMMER

Lieut.. Col. c. A. Varnum, retired
but on duty with the organized mi.
I litia of Idaho, and C. A. Elmer, act
ing adjutant general and private
secretary to Governor Gooding, were
arrivals yesterday from GrangevilIe,
where they inspected the military
company of that place Tuesday
night.
The general inspection of the
company was made, after which the
company was put through the drills
by Captain Fred M. Mckenzie, First
Lieutenant r. H. Lovelace and Sec
ond Lieutenant ]. M. Baker.
The matter of the target rife
was explained to the company, and
target practice will be held for the
first battalion, probably at Fort
Wright, either in May or June. The
First battalion is composed of the
Grangeville. Genesee, Occur d'Alene
and Rathdrum companies, and the
Lewiston company, if organized, will
become part of this battalion.
This will be the first encampment
for the First battalion, and the
third encampment of the kind held
in the state. The Second and Third
battalions held encampments last
year, and the showing of the militia
was highly pleasing.
Col. Varnum and Secretary Elmer
left today for Genesee to inspect the
company and will then pro-
coed to Occur d'Alene and Rath-
1rum.
Mr.. Elmer will return to Lewis
on before leaving north Idaho for

ported an agreement, yesterday on a
uniform assessment of property
throughout the state. The agree
ment was reached at an executive
session from which all be the as
SCISSORS were excluded.
The session was a stormy one, but
finally the assessors reached a basis
on which al could stand and an
agreement was then quickly reach
ed. The rate agreed upon was not
given out, but 1t is known that it
is from so to 60 per cent, except
livestock, which will be assessed at
SO per cent of actual value.
The morning was spent in fruit
less discussion and listening to ad-
dresses by Colonel Allen Miller, state
immigration and labor commission
er, and c.. F. Koe sch, county attor-
ney of Ada county. The action TAX
en- relative to adopting full cash
basis which gave promise of being
acceptable, was rescinded. A resolu-
tion declaring for 33 1-3 basis was
tabled, then the assessors were as
far apart as when they first met.
The afternoon was spent in execu-
tive session, which was at times ex-
ceedingly stormy, once or twice per-
'sonal encounters being narrowly
averted, but which finally ended sat

The assessment of livestock was
fixed bv the assessor as follows:
Beef cattle. $17: COWS. s15: stock

proposes the extension of it's system
from Belle Fourehe, s. D., to Miles
