There are two citizens of DAY.

kick about their taxes. The tax
on one of them is two cents and
on the other three cents, in each
instance it being on land. What
county can show a lower tax than
this?
Speaking of conditions at the
North Carolina Soldiers Home,
State Auditor B. F. Dixon, who is
more intimately connected with
the management of the home than
any one else probably in the state,
said: "You have no idea how
things have changed at the home

the marine corps, the United States

each.
The team making the highest ag-
gregate total in the contest will re-
ceive the national trophy, authorized
by congress, and $500 in. cash. The
Hilton trophy and 5000 in cash will
go to the second team. The third
team will receive the bronze Soldier
of Marathon and $3.50 cash. The next
three teams will receive cash prizes
of 800, SO and $50, respectively.
The distances for the national team
match remain unchanged, but an inn
portant change has been made in the
order of fire. The skirmish run will
come in as the fifth stake, being pre-
ceeded. by the 200 yards slow, the
200 yards rapid, the GOO and 500
yards stages, and followed by the l.
600 yards stage.
In the national individual match
the skirmish run will come first, as
last year Eight additional gold
silver and bronze medals, twenty-four
in all, will be given in the individual
match, and cash prizes remaining the
same. The ammunition in the ma
tional matches is confined to that

The cartridge for the new military
rifle has a bullet weighing $50 grains

This powder was developed to de-
crease the erosion accompanying high
With the old powder devel-
oping 275O feet the lift of a gun was
reduced to about 1000 rounds, while

department reports the lift Of a bar

ELECTRIC LINES FOR
SOUTHERN IDAHO

Steam cars will traverse the Mil

dell by October 15, at the latest, and
to Jerome in November, according to
Information received today from d.
c. McWatters of the Twin Falls Land
& Water company, who arrived in the
city, says the Boise Capital News.
Mr.. McWatters is very enthusias-
tic over the rapid rate at which the
electric road construction is going on
and also with the manner in which
the north side is settling up and the
Salmon river tract as well.
Contractor Grant is rapidly push
ing the construction work on our new
electric line now, and has the grad
ing almost completed" stated Mr..
Mcwaters . a representative OF the
Capital News when interviewed.
at will be impossible for us TO run
electric cars by the time the road is
completed for the simple reason that
one of our big power plants, that
which is now being constructed at the
lower Salmon falls, will not be com
pleted in time.
1.-The .grading is finished up TO q
point south Of Gocding and this will
be done in a very short time. An
other grading outfit is working for
the road out of Milne towards Je-
rome.
The power for the road will be fur
nished by two large plants, one at
Shoshone and the other, as I men
toned before, at the lower Salmon
falls. I should estimate that the lat
ter plant will cost in the neighbor-
hood OF 100000.
However, as soon as the road is

to take care of the traffic and when
the plants are completed the electric
power will be substituted. The ma
terial for the completion of the road
has been ordered, namely, the ties and
rails, as well as poles. These are be-
ing distributed along the right of way
in readiness for being set in place"
Mr.. Mcwatters stated that water
will be furnished to the residents Of
the big north side Twin Falls tract
by next spring. The company agreed
to deliver the water at this time and
will do so. A dam 21O feet high will
be erected to furnish water to the
Salmon river project.
The company is under agreement
to deliver water on this tract in the
spring Of 1910. This dam is now un-
der course of construction.

With the opening up OF the gram
market in full blast this week, at the
prices that are being paid business
should be better here from nov on
than ever before at this time of the
year. The indications are that
the prices will continue good nntil
the next crop is harvested and sold.
Those Who are in a position to know
something about what they are say
ing, claim that the farmers will be
able to get their sacks from two to
three cents apiece less this season
than last. This will be due partly
to the fact that many of the COM
panies throughout the Palouse and
Big Bend countries are preparing to
handle grain III bulk, thus cutting
down very materially on the large
number of grain sacks used in the
northwest. Considering all these
things, together with a good crop
this season, the farmers on Nezperce
prairie will be more independent
than ever before.
