MOST OF ORDERS ARE PAID
Treasurer Has Put $4,000 in circul;
ton in Three DAYS.

The county treasurer has been pay
ing out a great sum of money this
week. Beginning Monday the county
began making payments on the orders
issued since last fall in anticipation
of the taxes to be paid this spring,
and there now is but small part of
the amount outstanding. In three
days there has been paid out some
thing like $4,000 in cash at the
treasurer's Office. Much of this money
has found its way back to the treas
ury, in taxes paid at the treasurer's
office. When all the orders are paid
there will be about $4,000 in county
funds in the hands of the treasurer.

ASSESSORS AT BOISE.
Tax.GathererS of Idaho Meet to Lay
Plans for Raising Revenues.

County Assessor Joe Wheeler left
Sunday for Boise, to attend the annual
meeting of the assessors of the state.
They will get together on basis of as
sessment, and equalize values as well
as possible, so that all counties will have
the same proportion of state taxes to
pay. But for the state levy, it would
hardly matter whether they assessed at
one-tenth the value, or twice the value,
and each county established different
standard for in each county the amount
of taxes to be raised would be govern
by the necessities, and the per cent of
levy would be high or low according to
the valuation. Actual values or the
amount of taxes to be raised would not
be affected by the valuation or the rate
of levy.
One thing that is worthy of notice, is
that the state law requires all property
to be assessed at its full cash value. In
the jockeying to dodge the state appor-
tionment, valuation in all the counties
is cut down until some property pays
on hardly one-tenth its real value. 1t
would hardly be fair for one county to
adopt a high valuation and another
low one, for, the state apportionment
being invarlable, ''poor but honest -
county might have to pay more state
tax than its far richer but less consci-
entious neighbor. A close adherence to
the law, and definite agreement as to
values in all counties, would be fair to
everybody.

DRY FARMING FOR IDAHO.
Bill in Congress to Enable Settlers
to Secure Dry Farms.

That the dry farming proposition for
southern Idaho is not altogether vision
airy is evidenced by many well known
facts. One is that the average rainfall
for this section of Idaho is greater
than is to be found in other states
where the method of dry farming is in
successful operation. Good crops of
wheat have been raised on an annual
rainfull of ten or twelve inches. Here
the rainfall last season was about if-
teen inches, and J. c. Struble raised
twenty-five bushels of wheat to the
acre on his claim near Hepburn with
out a particle of moisture outside of
the rainfall supply.
1t is estimated that our average an
nual precipitation of moisture is about
twelve inches which would insure suffi-
cient water for biennial crops by the
Campbell system of cultivation.
But at present there is no way by
which settlers may secure title to the
thousands of acres of rich lands in the
valleys of southern Idaho in quantity
to make them available for dry farm
ing.
A 100 acre homestead is not sufficient
land for the purpose nor are the con-
ditions of residence within the possi-
bilities where a supply of water is not
to be had without a big expenditure of
money. For the same reason a desert
claim is beyond the pale of profitable
venture.
A bill is now before Congress to
remedy this defect in the land laws
According to its provisions a settler
could locate claim of 32O or $40 acres
in the dry belt and secure title in five
wears by cultivation of a certain portion
without residing on the claim and with
out a supply of water for irrigation
purposes.
If this bill becomes a law and a fair
trial demonstrates the availability of
our sage brush valleys for dry farming
this whole region would be occupied by
new settlers, thus more than doubling
our population and adding immensely to
the volume of our trade.

PresidentGOOdin9
Home From Helena to
Start Work for Nation
al Wool Growers.

I Fred w. Gooding returned the first
of the week from Helena, Montana,
where he was elected president of the
National Wool Growers Association.
This honor was entirely unsought and
unexpected; but the Association, feel
ing that it has desperate fight ahead
for its rights on the public range, chose
him as the strongest, ablest of its mem
bers to lead the fight. They have rails
ed large sum to lay their case prop
erly before the country, and will show
up their right to use the public range,
before the proper tribunal.
Mr.. Gooding may be one of the rep
resentatives to go to Washington, to
lay the range matter before congress.
Pocatello was chosen as the meeting
place for next year. Somewhere from
500 to 700 delegates attend annually.
The new president, realizing the un-
usual confidence shown in giving him
the leadership at the time of greatest
responsibility and difficulty, will give
the work his utmost endeavors to make
it a successful year for the Association.

HERD DISTRICTS.
Two Are Asked For On the Newly
Reclaimed Tracts.

The county commissioners adjourned
Friday evening, to meet again Febru-
airy 9Th to hear the petitions for herd
district, in the southeastern part of the
county. One petition came in from the
Twin Falls North Side tract, around
Miner, and the other came from the
Minidoka tract, at Hepburn. These
petitions are based on the herd district
law passed by the last legislature,
making it possible for the taxpayers of
any specified district, smaller than a
county, to petition for and on suffi-
cient showing, be granted an order for
a herd district, prohibiting the turning
loose on the range of any stock which
they may specify. This may be hogs,
sheep, cattle, horses, goats, mules,
asses, any one or more, or all these
varieties of domestic stock. The law
says that the board shall grant such a
petition, if satisfied that the majority
of the qualified electors of the district
are in favor of it; no apparent excep-
ton is made for the greater influence
of the one man whose interests are
much larger than those of others.

Killed By a Train
Unknown Russians AW-
full Plight, With Both
Legs Cut Off.

A Russian tramp who boarded train
No. l at Pocatello bound for Nampa
fell from the train at Tunupa and both
legs were severed between the ankles
and knees. OF course no one saw him
or knew he was on the train.
He crawled to the house Of John
johnson some quarter of mile away
and gave an alarm but Mrs. johnson,
being alone, fled to the home of Mr..
Winters who returned with assistance
and found the wounded man still crawl
ing around the house.
The accident occurred early in the
morning of the 23rd and the poor fellow
had crawled about from $3.50 until z
O'Clock. Mr.. Winters brought him at
once to Shoshone well wrapped and
provided with all the conveniences OBJ
tainable, but DR.. Baugh saw at once
that no recovery was possible and the
end came within thirtyi minutes after
arrival. He was not able to give any
identification, except that his first
name was John.
The county will attend to the burial.

OREGONIANS SAVE LUMBER.
HIGH Prices Hit Even the Home of
the Tall Pine Trees.

w. L. Reynolds. who returned a
short time ago from a three weeks
visit in The Dalles, Baker City and
Portland, says that he pad intended to
remain there longer, but the rain was
too much for him and he had to get
back where the sun shines.
He says that even in Oregon, long
looked on as the original home of cheap
lumber. where lumber was cheaper
than to live in brick house already
built, the people are starting in to de-
velop cheaper frame houses because of
the high price of lumber. Plain box
houses, with the walls of lumber on the
outside and battened up and down, are
being built in considerable numbers.
On the inside inch strips are nailed on
up and down and heavy building paper
put on top of that. This gives a good
foundation for the cloth lining and the
wall paper. The strips can be put on
substantially enough for lathing and
plastering. There is a great saving in
lumber as well as in the cost of build
ing. while the up-and- down effect of the
outside. with wide caves like a Swiss
chalet, is most attractive.
