Legislature Made Mistake.

Surveyor General d. A. Utter and
Edward Paine, president Of the Boise
State bank, have returned to Boise
from a pleasure trip in the Payette
national forest reserve. General
Utter declares that the members of
the Tenth session of the legislature
made mistake In the creation Of
game preserves within forest reserves.
Practically every foot OF such land,
he states, has been apportioned to
the sheep men for grazing purposes.
and that In view Of this fact any
attempt at preservation Of the game
Is practically useless, as sheep will
drive out practically all animals ex.
cept those OF a predatory nature, a
bounty for the destruction of which
is offered by the state.

KOOTENAI LEVY 80 MILLS
Commissioners Make II Mills
Increase Over 1908.

A dispatch from the county seat
dated September I3, says:
Today the county commission
ers fixed the tax levy for Kootenai
county at 80 mills, IL mills more
than last year.
The county commissioners say
two things caused the increase,
the assessed valuation being re-
duced from basis of SO per cent
to 40 per cent and the proposition
to submit petition for local op-
tion and its possible enactment
into law for Kootenai county.
Last year the basis of assessed
valuation was 50 per cent, but the
state board reduced many of the
items as much as 1915 per cent.
This year the basis was placed at
40 per cent, and the state board
increased the value on many items
over IS per cent, so that many
hold the assessed valuation is but
little changed this year and if any
in favor of the increase this year.
1t is held by the commissioners
that the loss of the liquor licenses
will be felt by the schools and
road districts.
Following is the levy in detail:
