will Assess at 40 Per Cent

The January meeting of the
county assessors of the state was
held at Boise last week and County
Assessor Won Canon arrived ar
rived home Saturday from being
in attendance at the meeting. The
assessors passed a resolution that
they would assess this year on 40
per cent valuation. The northern
assessors accused the southern as
SCISSORS of failure to live up to their
agreements of last year and that
they did not assess at the so per
cent basis agreed on. The south
ern assessors were not able to sub
NIT any figures to the contrary.
Assessor Smith, of Kootenai, told
the assessors he would assess at 40
per cent, but that he "would be the
Judge of the valuations at that fig
ure." The feeling exists that the
southern assessors got off easy last
year, and that the northern coun-
ties paid taxes on an increased
valuation, while the southern coun-
ties were not advanced in proper
tion.-Pend Oreille Review.

was far from being a hopeless one,

an effort will be made to have the

of the road so as to take in this

senting the matter to the state road

She Was Made Maxi

Miss Katherine Glad and Mr..
Gus Maxi were married in this city
Tuesday, Jan. 10, following a brief
courtship that bears the eemblance
of a romance all too serious and
real, however, for one interested
party.
Not over month ago Miss Glad
was resident of the eastern states,
perhaps never dreaming that in a
short time she would cross the con-
tinent to become the bride of a man
of her choice, but of whom she had
never seen or heard. No doubt,
like most unmarried maids, she
was living in the hopes of some
day becoming a bride. The oppor-
tnnity arrived when she received a
proposal of marriage, seasoned with
unmistakable yearning of love and
graphic descriptions of the glorious
golden west from John Erickson. a
farmer and woodsman residing
near Northport. The offer was
promptly accepted on conditions
that Miss Glad hasten westward
to meet her would be spouse. The
meeting was most businesslike on
the part of the female side of the
proposition, who likewise displayed
all too plainly lack of affection
for the man she came west to wed.
Nevertheless a marriage license was
procured and after brief survey OF

After Callspel Valley Trade

According to the papers in the
the western portion Of the county,
there is great deal of activity in
trying to get roads from various
points across the mountains into
the Calispel valley, in order to
capture the business from that sec
ton
An appropriation was originally
| made for state road from New
port via Northport to Orient in
Ferry county. The Colville county
seat crowd succeeded in getting
most of the money appropriated
spent at the county seat, and the
survey of the road diverted to that
point instead of Northport. Now
they are asking for an additional
appropriation to help the towns
payroll out.
Northport has taken the bull by
the horns and is trying to get a
road in the valley via Metaline,
according to the original act. And
now comes Chewelah and asks the
members of the Legislature from the
west end to appropriate $4,000 for
a road from that place to the valley
country.
In the meantime Newport is
getting the trade from that rich
section, and will continue to do 90,
as she will have railroad operat-
ing through the valley before next
fall. In addition three lines OF
steamboats, will serve the valley
people in connection with the rail
road.

belief in some quarters that it is
the policy of the forest service to
make it as hard IA possible for
