GENERAL TAX LEVY FOR 1905
State Auditor Complies Figures show
ing ApDOrtiOnment in Counties.

Figures showing the apportionment
in the various counties of the general
tax levy for 1908 have been compiled
in the office of State Auditor Bragaw.
says the Statesman Of Boise. The levy
is for 100000 and the increase Is about
$16,000,000 The assessments are based
each year upon the valuation of the
preceding year The assessed valua-
lions in 1906 were $S2. 100000 in round
numbers. and for 1907, $99,672, 2S8.70.
The rate of taxation for this year will
be less than last year by over ] mill.
The rate for last year was .00644, and
for this year 1t will be .00501.
There are some interesting figures
showing where the increase in valua-
tions comes. At the last meeting Of
the state board Of equalization the as
sessed valuations of the railroads Of
the state were raised nearly q per
cent, or from $11,S70,000 to $15,610,-
600. OF the counties Shoshone shows
the biggest increase in valuations, the
figures for 1908 being increased nearly
$2,500,00O over 1907. Nez Perez also
shows a great increase in valuations
Ada county assessed valuations were
boosted about s1,500,000 for 1907. The
increased valuations. however, Auditor
Bragaw states, did not alone lower the
rate of taxation, the cleaning up Of
certain bond issues making great
difference. One OF the most important
Of these was the state wagon road

WHEELER TO TALK
ON "CITIzENSHIp"
Luncheon of Lincoln= Roosevelt
League Today to Be Scene
of Strong Address

Charles s. Wheeler, an enthusiastic
Lincoln Roosevelt league worker in the
thirty ninth district, will be the speak
er at the leagues regular weekly lunch
today. Wheeler has chosen for his
subject Good Citizenship, and will
point out the responsibilities of voters
in the present condition of politics in
the state. The large number of re-
sponses to invitations received at the
league headquarters in the Kamm
building show that Wheeler will have
a big audience when he arises to speak.
Charges of discord IN the league
councils are being industriously cir
culated by agents Of the Herrin ma
chine, but they are not bothering either
the executive committee of the league
or workers in the various districts.
Organization is being perfected in all
sections of the city, and the efforts
made thus far have been so successful
that the Herrin men in certain districts
are quite disheartened
One of the storieS which is being
circulated in an effort to offset the re-
suits of league activity is that a star
chamber council has been formed at
league headquarters to choose the off,
GERS of the district clubs. This story
Is branded as ridiculous by Byron
Mauzy, vice president of the league
The executive committee is not
naming the officers of the district
clubs" said Mauzy yesterday. "Natu-
rally the members of the clubs will
choose their own officers. The execu-
tive committee is merely volunteer
ing its services in the work of getting
the clubs started. That, OF course. is
what any executive committee would
be expected to do.
I'VE haven't the slightest intention
OF bossiHg. On the contrary, we are
in this fight to free the people from
their bosses. We want to be sure that
the people rule and not the railroads
To accomplish this we are working in
perfect harmony with the district eom-
mftteemen. To put any other COM
plexion on our activity would be ridicu-

WIN LAND CLAIMED

Plaintiffs Are Upheld in Sunset
District Dispute by Decision
of Judge Buck
Judgment Holds Reay and Nc
Grath Are EstOpped From
Asserting Any Title

The fight over title TO the nine blocks
Of land in the Sunset district bounded
by Thirteenth and Sixteenth avenues
and 1 and L streets was decided by
Judge Buck yesterday against Joseph
". Reay and William McGrath and in
favor OF the persons who claim title
under city deeds. The judge rendered
his decision orally at the close OF the
attorneys arguments. The land i'm
me3iately affected is the block bounded
by Thirteenth and Fourteenth avenues
and ] and J streets, but the case was q
TEST one. involving the ownership Of
the other eight blocks.
The land IN question is worth about
100000. The cloud that has obscured
its title has prevented its improvement
for q long while, but it is expected
that Judge Bucks judgment will result
in immediate building activity by many
OF the owners. The value Of the prop
eTty becomes enhanced by the clear
ing Of title. The owners who sued
McGrsth and Reay in the actions de-
cided yesterday are Ernestine g Cfif-
fard. Andrew l. Edwards Henrietta
Schaubel. ". s Downing. f. A Down
ing and Joseph Schoder. The trial has
been IN progress about three weeks
and has been closely watched by the
2oo or 300 owners OF the land. by real
estate dealers and by title Insurance
companies.
In deciding the case the judge stated
that whatever claims Reay might have
had were disposed of by the decision
Of the supreme court in the case Of
Rousset against Reay in 1882
Under that decision said the judge.
"Reay is unquestionably estopped
from asserting any title TO the land.

The boys argue this way. They were

The Paragraph Pulpit
Unitarian
No New Theology

The Unitarian Church does not pro-
fess to preach any new theology. 1t
finds its task largely in the reaf-
firmat1on OF the theology of Jesus. 1t
accepts its belief regarding God as
one worthy of modern acceptance
that God Is our Father, and that He
loves and leads every human child.
This is the essence of the Unitarian
theology, just as 1t was the essence
of the teaching of Jesus If it rejects
the prevalent theology of the Chris
tian Church today. 1t is only because
that theology is not consistent with
the principles proclaimed by Jesus.
Tho best in the new theology is but
the true in the old.

SICK FROM FLEET
ARE BROUGHT HERE
Hospital Ship Relief Comes
From Magdalena With
l52 Patients

The United States navy hospital ship
Relief. in command OF Surgeon Charles
F. Stokes, returned yesterday from
Magdalena bay with 152 patients from
Admiral Evans fleet. The sick on the
Relief will be placed in the hospital at
Mare island and the hospital ship will
rejoin the feet at San Diego.
The Relief Is the first hospital ship
OF any nation ever placed IN commits
sion as an integral part of fleet in
time of peace and is the first hospital
ship in the United States navy. to be
commanded by a medical officer. The
service rendered by the Relief already
justifies its having been placed in COM
mission, and the hospital ship could not
have behaved better from a nautical
point of view If the whole bureau of
navigation had been in command.
When the Relief arrived at Magda-
lena bay the surgeons on the floating
hospital found plenty of work awaiting
them. Under the strain of the long
voyage & number of cases of insanity
had developed among the enlisted men
VARIETY OF ILLS MANY
About dozen bluejackets were suf-
fering from appendicitis. There were
several cases of typhoid fever, 20 cases
of tuberculosis and a miscellaneous col
lection of broken bones and other trou-
bles. The Relief reached Magdalena
bay on Friday night, and by noon
Saturday the first operation a very bad
case of appendicitis where the appendix
had burst. had been successfully COM
pleted The surgeons and attendants
were kept busy day and night Every
operation performed was successful and
the patients are now convalescing.
The Relief remained at MagdaIena
bay until practice with the big guns
had been concluded.
Probably the busiest man on the Re-
lief during the stay at Magdalena bay
was Hospital Steward Perlie, who is in
charge of the Relief's dental hospital
Perlie is skilled and untiring, and he
proved an angel of mercy to the Of
hcers and enlisted men of the big fleet
who were suffering from aching mo-
lars.
SIX OFFICERS RETURN
Among the Reliefs patients were six
officers. They were Lieutenant K B.
Crittenden from the navy tug Fortune,
Mfdshipman w. II. Walsh from the Vir-
g1nia, Chief Boatswain A. B. Irelan from
the Buffalo, Chief Boatswain p Hen
mig from the supply ship Glacier, Chief

souri, and Gunner II Webb from the
