MUCH SICKNESS PREVALENT.

Sickness seems to be rampant
all over the country now.
Grangeville has had the dptheria
all winter; several cases of small
pox have developed out west of
Tolo; this place has been under
going a siege of scarlet fever;
about forty cases of pneumonia
have developed at Nezperce;
Genesee is quarantined because
of scarlet fever, and it seems as
if the entire country, east and
west, is suffering from more
sickness this winter than for
several years past. The excep-
tionally mild winter weather is
responsible in great part for the
spread of disease and had more
rigorous weather prevailed for
the past few months the general
health of the country would have
been much improved.

TAKE IN THE SHOW.

A moving picture show will
entertain the Cottonwood people
this evening and tomorrow night
at the Odd Fellow hall. "The
Life of Crist," illustrating the
career of the Savior from the
manger to the ascension, will
be the principal part of the en-
tertainment and over 500, 900
pictures will be shown. Fully
two hours will be required to run
the films through the machine.
Of the entertainment the Lewis
ton Teller has the following to
say: During the past two
evenings the ministers and educa-
tors of the city have witnessed
the productions and are unanim-
GUS in proclaiming it one of the
greatest educators of biblical
history yet presented to the
public.
"The presentation is one that
is particularly recommended to
the Sunday school teachers and
pupils as being one of the best
methods of impressing the min6
with the teaching contained in
the New Testament" "
The proprietors of the show
claim to have their machine il
such shape that the Pickering o1
the pictures is reduced to a mini
mum degree and the eye strain il
very slight. All who attend arr
assured of a good entertainment
and the scenes are such as will
prove of lasting rememberenct
to old and young alike.

FACTS ABOUT
STATE TAXES
Some Interesting Items About
Idaho Tax Matters Cleaned
From Recent Meeting of Asses
sOrs at Boise.

who was In the city late laSC
week from Grangeville, gave us
some very interesting informa-
ton which he CLEANED from the
meeting of the county assessors
of the state recently held at
Boise. Some Of the facts are SO
pertinent that we believe our
readers should know of them.
Firstly, how many of the tax
payers of northern Idaho are
aware that out of the % counties
in the state the Z northern coun-
ties are paying 40 per cent of the
state taxes? This does not look
very good to most of us in the
face of all /the wonderful re-
sources and richness advertised
in the southern part of the state,
but it is a fact just the same.
State Auditor Bragaw had the
nerve to state in the assessors
meeting that the railroads of
north Idaho paid most of this 40
per cent but had to back down
the next day when confronted
with figures showing that the
railroads in the northern counties
paid taxes on some $4,000, 900
valuation while the other proper
ty valuation totaled close to $780,
100000.
The assessors tried hard to
get the state board to agree to
a plan for taxing all property in
the state at it's full cash value
and for the board to set value
on railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone lines, etc., but the board
refused to raise to the emergency.
At this time the state board
left the meeting and all business
went, swimmingly until the sheer
question was raised. Then Ger.
tain assessors from the southern
counties wanted the state boarC
to come back in hopes that it,
august presence would over awe
certain northern assessors wht
we're laboring for a fair adjust
ment of taxes. This request wa'
refused, however, and afte.
much wrangling the valuation O.
sheep was raised from SIPS tt
1925 per head. During thi
time some interesting disclosures
were made and one assesso
frank admitted that, assessing OF
a so per cent basis, he had asses

1900. (The owner probably Gu
the amount in half when he sal
1000 and consequently was as
sessed for 1000 when he doubt
less owned 1000 or 5000 sheep.
It also developed later that pei
mits were issued last year fo
more sheep to Craze on the fores
reserves than the state was cree
tied with having, all told, by tn
cuonty assessors. probably nj
over half the sheep in the stat
were pastured on the fore'
reserves last summer.
One assessor from a Mormo
county'in the southern part {
the state had a round 40, 600 acre
of patented land added to his ia
rolls by the state board last yea
I If he overlooked that much
his brothers land when the san
could be taken from the count
record with ease, how much me

From the foregoing it is ea'
to see why north Idaho is pa.

taxes and as long as south Idal
