Valuable Information Free

1t is pleasing to note the real prac-
teal information the Wilson & Toom-
er Fertilizer Co. are sending out in
their booklets. Every grower in the
state and all prospective settlers
should have set of them, for each
industry is described in a thorough
manner by an authority. There is
quite series of books on citrus cul
ture, but perhaps the three that ar
especially interesting. at this season
are the complete booklet Florida
Vegetables" and the leaflets, Irish
Potatoes" and Fall Fertiiizing CIT
rus Trees" Each is a complete
treatise on its subjec:, yet SO concise
as to be handy for the pockets. In
no case has so much information of
practical value been given free to the
public except by the agricultural de-
partments of the state or the United
States.

Browns Plea For Discharge

w. M. Brown, of Miami, appeared
before Judge Locke in u. S. court at
Jacksonville last Saturday in his own
behalf on a plea for discharge from
the second indictment made against
him in the Fort Dallas bank matter,
the argument being that the second
indictment charged the same offense
rs the first, and the law declares that
no man could be tried twice on the
same charge.
The second Indictment, according
to District Attorney Cheney, is in
many particulars different from the
former one and he opposed the mo.
ton for discharge. Judge Locke

From the West Palm Beach News
Thanksgiving at DANA has proved
anything but a day of blessings. Ear
ly in the morning a crowd gathered
on the beach with the expectation of
having a delightful time. All went
well until afternoon.
Directly after lunch Miss Mary
Dykes went into the water for bath
ing. Not long after the cries of help
from her younger brother who had
preceded her attracted her attention.
Mary at once started toward her
brother only to be borne down by the
treacherous waves.
There were no men on the shore at
the time, they being on the sound, a
short distance away.
Hearing the cries of distress and
learning that it was Mary, Mr.. w.
c. Dykes hurried to the beach. With
out needing those who were begging
him to stay he plunged into the wat
er but before he could reach his idol
daughter he was heard to say: 81

sink. He sank soon afterwards.

being drowned by Mr.. Price and Mr..

time and again to reach the floating
bodies of Mary and her father, but
could not.

A Record Breaker

1t is said that the greatest and quick
est permanent advertising success on
record is that of Carcarets, Candy Ca
thartics, which have been persistently
advertising in every way but chiefly in
the newspapers for about ten years. In
that time the sale of Cascarets has
grown from nothing to over one million
boxes a month. This wonderful record
is the result of great merit successfully
made known. Those who tried Cascar-
cts as a direct result of advertising,
were pleasedland recommended the arti-

OPPORTUNITY TO BUY BRIDGE.
Chance for Lincoln and Twin Falls
Counties to Buy Miner Bridge.

Lincoln county has . chance TO buy
the company suspension bridge at Mil
ner, for only 5000. Or rather, Lincoln
county would have TO pay only one-half
that sum. Twin Falls county taking up
the other half of the obligation.
The bridge cost originally $1,000, and
has been maintained by the company
largely for its own necessities. Still. 1t
has been a money maker. at the Gus
tomary rates Of toll. It Is presumed to
be a good financial investment even
now. atthe original price of construc-
tion.
The company. however, aims TO give
the people every chance 10 build up
their country. and a free bridge would
wonderfully facilitate the business of
that part Of the country. For this rea-
son. the company has made an offer Of
the bridge that seems 70 be only small
part of the real worth Of the structure.
The Journal would favor the county
buying the bridge. IN partnership with
Twin Falls county, and giving the peO-
pie their q chance for their lives in set
ting up their country 1t Is true that
it would help build up Miner in another
county. but on the other hand il would
help build up the farm country on this
side, 50 that both would be the gamers.
If the county Could buy the Hepburn
bridge also. for the same reasons. i
ought 70 be good investment, Lincoln
county Is already in debt. it is true; but
the only way 70 ever pay this debt is to
get new people here TO help pay It.

Judge Walters Finds thai
Defendant Had Not

Action Brought Against Great Kes-
tern Sugar Beet Co. Of
Mountain Home.

An important case came up for hear
ing in the district court Wednesday
when Judge Walters refused an appli-
cation for the appointment Of a receiver
for the Great Western Beet Sugar com
pany at Mountain Home.
The action was brought by Henry
Hewitt, Of Tacoma, who holds a mort
gage for $50, 900 on the company prop
erty- This mortgage. it seems, has not
been paid, and the plaintiff alleged that
the company was in such bad shape
financially that a receiver was neces-
sary to save his interests and those of
a large number Of settlers who were
dependent on the company for water
for their crops.
In the hearing Judge Walters found
that the company mad not been notified.
as is their right in law. Of the pending
action for the appointment Of a re-
ceiver. On this ground he ruled against
the reeeivership. The plaintiff was
represented by Judge Richards Of Boise
and an attorney from Tacoma The de-
fendant was represented by E. J. Dock
cry Of Boise and ". c. Howie Of
Mountain Home
It is expected that the plaintiff win
bring up the case again, possibly within
a week. after giving the due Illegal no
tice of FIVE days To the defendant
The case is an important one, in that
it involves the control of the greater
part Of the Mountain Home irrigation
water supply Il IS alleged that the
company has not come up TO its cor
tracts for the supply OF water, and that
crops have suffered severely, as well as
the non payment OF the one heavy
claim. The appointment Of receiver
would mean the practical transfer Of
the company to other hands, and the
court assuming control OF the business,
through the receiver, until such time as
the business could be cleared up.

Lincoln County Property
Assessments Show
Big Increase
Town Lots Increased 10 Per Cent
Farm Lands so Per Cent
All Property Raised

Town lots in Lincoln county have IN
creased ITO per cent in assessed value
since last year.
Farm lands have increased 50 per
cent in valuation per acre.
Farm lands, total assessment, show
gain of 81 per cent.
improvements are rated at q per
cent higher than last year.
The total assessment of the county
exclusive of railroads, telephone, tele-
graph and interstate corporations,
shows gain of sc per cent.
These interesting figures are gath
cred from the report of the county aud
itor of the state board of equalization,
the report being sent in this week to
the board.
There are some small items where
there is little if any gain. But these
are the items which really count; the
values that are more or less staple and
not fuctuating is, ali but the
total for the county. the last item
quoted above.
Lincoln county has never shown as
wealthy county 1t is not so even yet,
except potentially. There is ample op-
portunity here for the development Of
vast wealth, but it is yet in the future.
But that it is coming may be seen from
the above figures.
Town lots have shown by far the
greatest percentage of gain. This is
due largely to the opening Of the new
towns of Gooding, Alberta, Jerome,
Wendell and Hillsdale; while some of
the Minidoka tract towns have come up
in values very noticeably.
There has been quite gain in the
taxable acreage, enough to bring the
total assessed tax on lands up to 81 per
cent higher than last year. The assess
ment per acre is a lot higher than last
year, being 50 per cent to the good
The difference in the total assessed val
uation and that raised by SO per cent
raise on the lands taxed of other
wears represents the gains in new lands
not heretofore decided or subject to tax.
Assessor Wheeler has been duly dill
gent and discriminating in his valua-
tions, and the gain in values is due to
his care. While some of the items fall
below what they might naturally have
been expected to for this year, the total
of p per cent gain ought to satisfy
almost any one.
As the greatest gain is in the land
assessments, it may be inferred that
the state board of equalization will not 7
hesitate to raise the assessment value
of corporation property in an approx
mately relative proportion. This is
reasonably assured, if other counties
have made anywhere near the same
raise of their real estate values.
