PRAISES GOODING.

A. B. Moss, of Payette, in a recent
interview, has the following to say
about Governor Gooding:
/ want to say word or two about
Governor F. R. Gooding. He has
held the Office for two terms during
the extraordinary turbulent times fol-
lowing the assassination of Ex-Governor
Steunenberg. 1t was difficult posi-
ton to fill, but Governor Gooding was
equal to the occasion and enjoys the
unbounded respect and confidence Of
all classes in Idaho. No man in that
state doubts his sterling honesty nor
his integrity Of purpose"

LEWIS OR TRUITT.

Latab county ought to send M. E.
Lewis to the state senate. It cannot
afford TO return Warren Truitt. By his
own admissions Mr.. Truitt clearly
shows himself to be utterly unfit for so
important position. But aside from
the question Of ability and fitness take
the fact into consideration that M. E.
Lewis is not running after the Office.
He is not dying to serve the dear
people" But Mr.. Lewis will serve if
the people want him. The Office
must seek the man. Contrast this
with the Office seeking antics OF the
man who admits that he repudiated a
republican platform pledge and ask
yourself which Of these men the peo-
pie Of Latah county ought to support.

In an interesting argument on the
taxation of mortgages and similar
papers, well known financier said
the other day that taxing a mortgage
is double tax on the prof. erty, which
has been already obliged to stand for
its share OF expense. In the long run,
undoubtedly, the property would be
obliged to pay for a mortgage or note
tax in increased interest and payment
rates. 1t is worthy Of second thought,
at least.

Early Hour When Without
Warning Slide Occurs.

Buckingham, Ont.-Half of the lit.
tie French hamlet of Notre Dame
de .Salette, sixteen miles from here
on the Lievre river, lies buried under
a sliding mountain and at least thirty
of its small population are known to
have persisted. The hamlet has no
telephone or telegraph and it is not on
a railroad. Meager bits of news of
the disaster come in by messenger
from the physicians and other rescu-
ers who were hurried there when the
first calls for aid came in the early
morning
The river Lievre winds at the foot
of the hamlet and a mountain towers
behind it. Spring rains for days past
have been melting the snow and ice
on the mountain and streams have
been coursing down the river. At
o'clock this morning, just as the
little hamlet began to stir for early
mass, part of the mountain started to
slide toward the river. 1t tore path

and those who were not killed when
their homes were engulfed were left
buried under the mass of rock and
earth.
Camille la Pointe's house stood
first in the path of the avalanche. He
and his family of eleven are known to
have persisted. Eight others whose
names have not been obtained are
known to be missing and in the panic
the rescuers are attempting to find
definitely how many more are miss
ing.
Mrs. Des Jardin's cottage also was
swept away and she, with her two
children, domestic and a hired man.
are known to be buried in the land
slide.
De Salette, like many hamlets of its
kind, rambles into gardens and little
fields on the mountain side. so about
half of A. was not in the path of the
avalanche
The sliding mass rushed with a roar
and spread fanlike over part of the
place and dumped itself in the swol-
len stream at its foot.
Cut off from the outside world, mes
sengers were dispatched to Poupere,
the nearest hamlet. Those who ar
rived first estimated that at least a
dozen houses were crushed in the
path of the landslide. buckingham
was appealed to but the flight of the
messengers across the spring roads
was slow. Those first on the scene
found De Saletto IN a panic, with the
uninjured packing their belongings
for fight.
Latest reports from De Salette
make the number of known dead thir-
ty. OF which eleven bodies have been
recovered. In all twenty houses were
engulfed in the slide.

The last legislature blundered when
it passed Representative Lees house
roll No. 427. according to information
now before Attorney General Thomp'
peals that portion of section 81, chap
ter 10, compiled statutes of 1905,
which provides that any one desiring
to appeal from the disallowance of a
claim before county board must give
notice to the county clerk within
twenty days of such decision. A cOun-
ty attorney called the attention of the
attorney general to the new law and
it's change in the former statute. II
the act remains in force all limitations
will be removed and claim dis
allowed by a county board can be ap-
pealed from years after the decision
of the board. The act, however.
leaves another provision in force In
section 33, chapter IS. compiled sta
tutes of 1905, which says upon the al
lowance of a claim against a county
the warrant shall not be delivered to
the party until the time for taking an
appeal has expired. and If the appeal
be taken then. not until the same shall
have been determined.

ting the filing of claims with the
county comptroller and not with the
county clerk in counties having a
