that the larger taxpayers and the
higher this year than last, and that
their taxes were from two to three
times higher than last year. He en-
phasized most particularly the Occur
d'Alene Lumber company and the
Washington Water Power company.
OF the former he. said that the as
sessment was considerable higher and
the tax was more than double, while
with the Washington Water Power
company last year their assessment
was 100000, and this year 1t was
100000. The railroad taxes in
Kootena county had also been con-
siderably increased, and therefore
the increased taxes which the indi-
vidual taxpayer is called upon to
pay was due entirely to increased
levies and not to increased valua-
lions made by the assessor.
The county and state levy in 1908
was II mills: in 1909, 80 mills. The
school levy in 1908 was 10 mills;
In 1909, II mills. The city levy in
1908 was Is mills; in 1909, Is mills.
The state tax Is $4,000 more in
1909 than in 1908. The county tax
$4,000 more. The school tax $10,-
900 more, and the city tax 1882
more.
Mr.. Smith said that there were
some instances where individuals had
been assessed higher this year than
last, but In every instance It was
where their 1908 assessment was too
low and II was found necessary to
make the raise in order to equalize
the assessment.
The report was an excellent one
and win set Alright the controversy
which has caused so much comment,
- part OF which has been of the un-
favorable kind. with many of the cit.
liens regarding the taxes. Mr..
Smith is ready at all times to throw
open the books of the assessors of.
ice for legitimate inspection. but
the above report covers the
question in so far as the assessor Ii
able to do so.

"MAKEs BETTER RAILROADS."
Western Writer Pays Tribute to
a Railroad Magnate as Builder-Up =
sYL'< Of the Country. ,i3H.ss"

Mr.. Edward H. Hartman Is on
trip to Europe, Ordinarily there
would need be nothing added to this
announcement beyond an exhortation
to Emperor William to chain down his
railroads and to other monarchs to
put their crowns and other valuables
in the safe at night. But Mr.. Harri-
man is going off on a pleasure trip,
and so many mean things have been
said about him that it will not hurt
any to change the tune a moment
while he is out of the country and
not able to take any advantage OF
the lapse from the cold attitude of Sc
verify that is usually used in men,
tioning the name of Hartman.
OF all the great railroad men de-
yeloped in this generation, e. H. Har-
riman is easily the biggest and the
best, says a writer in the Hutchinson
(Kan.) Daily News. The head of a
railroad company, under the rules Of
the game, must work for his stock
holders, whether it is for the advan-
tage Of politicians, shippers or con-
sumers. 1t is his job to do the best
he can for the interests entrusted to
his care. Hartman is not only a
tinanCier, but he is a builder and an
operator. Lucky is the town, city
or community that has a Hartman
road. He insists on a good rOadbed,
level track, safe track and the con-
YenienCe and comfort of the traveller
and the shipper. The Hartman roads
are noted as the best in the COun-
try. When Hartman gets hold of a
one-hOrse or played-out track and
right of way he proceeds to put it in
first class condition. He does not
raise the rates of fares, although he
doubtless charges "a plenty" but he
insists that enough Of the funds go
into real improvements to make a
railroad. And that is where he stands
ahead Of a good many others and why
Harrimanism is not such a bad thing
as some people have been led to think.
He makes better railroads, and there
is more need for Improvement that
way than there is in some others
which are being discussed. So far
as we can see, he believes in giving
every interest along his road a fair
deal.
He is a public benefactor from that
standpoint. He uses his power fairly.
He is a great man, and as good or
better than the ordinary citizen who
looks upon him as the personification
OF the money power, seeking whom
IL may deVour. He is a strong man
in the financial world, but that should
not be against him, when the finan.
cial world is the object which most
of us want to reach. He is a good
American and he spends his money
on American railroads, not on foreign
titles, race horses, old editions or
other bad habits. If he is not per.
fect-and we don't think he is-he is
no exception to the rule and is worthy
of the praise of his fellow citizens for
the good he does and has done.

CHILD HAD SIXTY 3OILS.
And Suffered Annually with Red
Scald-Like Humor on Her Head.
Troubles Cured by cuticura.

when my little Vivian was about
six months old her head broke out in
boils. She had about sixty in all and
l used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment which cured her entirely.
Some time later humor broke out be-
hind her ears and spread up on to
her head until it was nearly half COW
cred. The humor looked like a scald,
very red with sticky, clear fluid COM
ing from it. This occurred every
spring. I always used Cuticura Soap
and Ointment which never failed to
heal it up. The last time it broke
out it became so bad that I was dis
couraged. But l continued the use of
Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resell
vent until she was we'll and has never
been troubled in the last two years.

Like an Earthquake.

Former High Sheriff Chesterfield c.
MiddlebrOOks, whose bungalow at
Highland lake stands partly over the
lake on stone and cement foundations,
was awakened at four o'clock the
other morning by loud noises which
he says shook his bungalow like an
earth tremor
He says that after the household
had been shaken out Of sound sleep,
he, not waiting to dress, went outside
to ascertain the cause of the noise.
He found, he says, that a monster
frog had its bed directly under the
bungalow. The frog weighed fully
six pounds, he says, and every time it
croaked the bungalow cracked and
shook.
Mr. Middlebrooks bought an anchor,
strong rope and enough red flannel
to bait 100 hooks, and will try to save
his property by capturing the bull

LAUGHTER Series Of Banks.

Laughing Is barking, say the sci
entists. The neck and head are
thrown back while a series of short
However musical the banks may be
they are barks. The laugh begins
with a sudden and violent contraction
OF the muscles Of the chest and alb
domen. But instead Of opening to lei
the air pass out OF the lungs, the vocal
cords approach each other and hold II
back. But they are not strong enough
to exercise such opposition for more
than an instant, and the air, which is
under pressure, promptly escapes. As
II does so 1t makes the vocal cords vi
brate producing the bark.
This obstruction and liberation OF
the air expelled from the lungs repeats
Itself again and again at intervals of a
quarter Of second. There are thus
in hearty laugh four barks second
and If continued, they go on at that
rate as long as the air reserve in the
lungs holds out. The empty lungs
must then fill themselves, and this in
terval is marked by quick gasp fol
breath. after which the banks are re-
newed. The barks occur In series
with gasps for breath at intervals.
When laughter is violent, the entire
body participates. The upper part OF
the trunk bends and Strengthens itself
alternately or sways to right and left
The feet stamp on the floor, while the
hands are pressed upon the loins to

State School Lands.

Pierre.-On account of the large
amount of government land, the state
school lands in the northwestern cor
ner of the state have never brought
any great amount Of revenue to the
fund. But this year, Harding, the
northwest county OF the state, has
sent in $1,000 for school land leases.
This change is on account OF the rush
of settlement to that portion of the
state, compelling stock owners to get
control of land for grazing purposes.
