PHOENIX TOURISTS
 LEAVE FOR EUROPE
Mir and Mrs. George Houeh Smith Will Spend the Summer in Old
 England.

MT. and Mrs. George Hough Smith will leave this morning for a trip to their former home in England where they will spend the summer, expecting to return here b. October l5. Mir. Smith, as almost everybody in these parts knows. is superintendent of the capitol grounds and a most enthusias- tic gardner. The capitol grounds are his best monument for he laid them out and has been in charge of them from the beginning. The area was a patch of desert when he took hold of it and all that is now seen there is a testimonial of what can be done with Arizona soil and climate in a few years. It has taken about twenty years to produce this beauty spot but for a number of the intervening years water and other conditions greatly handicapped the gardner Neverthe- less the testimonial is good enough without referring to what might have been for it is doubtful if one can find a like garden anywhere of the same size where there is a greater variety of verdure or a greater profusion of flowers.
 MT. Smith has made one or two former visits to England since under taking this work, and several trips to California, not to speak of numberless excursions through parts. of Arizona in search of natural flora. On all these trips whether for business or pleasure, his greatest delight has been to secure something new for the cap itol grounds. As the result of it there are many plants growing there now that are indigeOus to' this region, though qnite, rare. In the same way Mir. Smith has always brought back from his more extended trips to Cal ifOrnia and England many varities of plants and plant seed to experiment with, sosne of which have not been found adapted to this section but many of Whicltr have seemed to prosper as well or better than in their native soils. Naturally he will do the same this year, not for business as much as for pleasure for in his line of work and at his time of life, business in his own special field has become his chief pleasure.
 MT. Smith leaves a competent gard ner in his place as assistant during his well-earned vacation. which all who know him hope will be a pleasant one for him and of some later value to the capitol grounds.

DOMINION CAMPAIGN CLOSES
Our Canadian Cousins are Having .
Warm Time.

OTTAWA, Ont, Oct. 24.-The
parliamentary campaign In the Do
minion Of Canada win come to a close
tonight in q veritable whirlwind OF
oratory, In which the stump speakers
of both the government and opposI-
ton parties viii sum mp their final
arguments. preliminary to the cleo
ton en- Monday. Present appear
ances indicate that the government
will be sustained. but its majority IL
likely to be much reduced.
Although the statuatory limit Of the
Dominion parliament is fve years.
the dissolying OF that body necessI-
tates an election this year, thus main
tanning the curious coincidence
whereby the last three Canadian
general elections have taken place In
the same years as those in the United
States. The liberals came into
power in 1896. They went before
the people and won a second lease
In 1900 and again in 1904. Twelve
years of unbroken party success piles
up ammunition for an opposition
even when the party has in the
large affairs of administration proved
eminently worthy of its trust.
The opposition accuses Sir VIII
fred's ministry OF extravaganza and
of faYoritism in contracts. 1t at
tacks the policy Of providing for the
expenditure of large sums Of public
money for construction OF the Grand
Trunk Pacific and charges Sir VIII
fred with a lukewarm attitude to-
ward the imperial policy. The ans
wer to this last count would seem
to be that at the head quarters of
that policy Sir Wilfred has been
recognized with distinguished favors,
and II its attitude is acceptable to
England it should be to Canada. For
giving government aid to a new
transcontinental line, a successful
precedent can be quoted from the
States, when after the civil war by
binding both oceans together by
bands of steel some problems that
might have proved very emarrasing
were averted.

of the conservatives, said: During

TAX STATEMENTS
NOT OFFICIAL
Assessor Bailor Gives Out Letter
to the Public.

Cards purporting to notify the cIti-
gems and business men Of KootenAi
county as to their taxes on property,
and also advising them that unless
they desire to raise their taxes. not
to vote for county seat removal have
been scattered through the county
by an organization parading under
the appelation Of the Taxpayers
Committee" An effort has been made
BY the executive committee OF the
county seat removal committee to
ascertain the identity OF the persons
responsible for the existence Of these
cards, but have been unsuccessful
OWING to the fact that the cards bear
the resemblance OF being Of an Of
ficiai character. and as coming from
some officer Of the county. many have
been lead to believe that they were
the product OF some county oflcer.
A statement denying this. and also
the correctness OF the cards il many
cases. was secured today from As
SCISSOR BaiIor by the executive COM
mitee. and It is as follows:
