been given to an American actor or
dramatist by the British public.

STEELE DENIES
INJUNCTION
Minis Saloon Case will now be
Carried to State Supreme Court
for DecisiOn---Is a Test Case
for Entire State.

Late last week at Moscow
Judge Steele denied the applica-
tion for an injunction restraining
the county attorney and board of
county commissioners from clos
ing the saloon owned by Ray
Minis, of this place. The appli-
cation was made for Minis by
Atty. Chas. Mcdonald, of Lewis
ton, and the date for hearing the
matter was set for Saturday,
Dec. 4th. The injunction was
asked on the grounds that the
local option law was unconstitu-
tional and the election held in
this county illegal. The case
will now be carried to the SUI
preme court as it is the first case
to come up under the local option
law and will be a test case fol
the entire state.

Iowa Potatoes Small.

An Iowa paper came to our
Office recently and in it was an
account of an Iowa farmer bring
ing to the newspaper Office an
exhibit of twelve potatoes weigh
ing 13a pounds. The editor con-
cludes the article by saying:
They are called Colorado
potatoes-and we doubt whether
the state for which they We're
named and noted as a potato
state can produce a finer or bet
ter sample than this one raised
in Kossuth county"
A dozen potatoes raised in Ida
no would be a curiosity if they
weighed only 13a pounds. They
would sure take the BOBBY prize
at any of the fairs in this part of
the country. When it comes to
potatoes Idaho is there with the
real thing. One illustration of it
is furnished by w. A. Gray, OF
Annis, who from three hills took
% potatoes that weighed &c
pounds. In the Times window
there has been for some time a
potato on exhibition which tips
the scales at three pounds, anc
this fall we saw a collection Of
Is potatoes that weighed sc
pounds. Idaho Falls Times.
We wonder what the Times
would say if it could see some Of
those six-pound spuds raised OF
the Jacob Hecker farm north oi
town. Fifteen potatoes weigh
ing so pounds would look nearly
as small as those Iowa marble;
when put along side of 8potatoel
from Mr.. Hecker's farm that
would easily weigh so pounds.

NOT ASSESS
AT CASH VALUE
County Commissioners in Session
at Boise Find State Law Pre-
vents---Would Bring Too Much
Taxes.

A Boise dispatch dated Dec.
Is, says:
The county commissions of the
state, finding that they are up
against a problem which they
deem unsolyable under the
present laws, just like the asses
sors Of the state in former con-
ventions have found themselves
side-stepping the main issue of
todayjust as the assessors did.
1--WE cannot boldly state by
formal resolution that we will
violate the laws Of the state, Z"
was the sentiment expressed,
and therefore the question of
fixing value at which property
shall be assessed in the state of
Idaho was left an unsettled one,
with, however, an understanding
that the laws should be violated
even though formal announce
ment of that fact should not be
made by resolution.
1t was found impracticable to
obey the laws yet embarrassing
to admit it. Should the law be
followed and property be assessed
at its full value, more than
$2,OO0,O0O a year would be
wrung from the people for fixed
taxes that are necessary for the
demand for which the tax is as
sessed, according to statement
of the State Auditor Taylor.
The annual school tax, for inst
ance, is five mills on the dollar
of valuation. Should this valua-
ton be arbitrarily increased four
times the present amount of
school taxes would be raised.
There are half a dozen or more
special taxes provided for by law
which require a percentage levy
upon valuation. These funds
now produce annually 100000
and the state auditor pointed out
that should valuations be raised
to a cash basis these fixed funds
would produce at least 81, 200, ,0OC
annually, which is far in excess
of the needs of the state. These
figures were too much even fol
those commissioners who were
inclined to go to a cash basis OF
valuation.
1t was decided to authorize a
committee to prepare a recon-
mendation for such changes ir
the existing laws as will permit

Gould Peary have learned at the pole that
Cook had been there before him?" In reply TO
this question Commodore Hovgaard said
This seems impossible. Even IL Peary was
there two weeks or two days after Dr. Cook he
might not have found any track of the first
party because of the movement OF the drift ice
II is probable also that the moving ice took
away the metal box Cook left at the pole"

that the North Pole was a place which could
not be permanently marked, and in conclusion
