HARTMAN HAS
FINE TRIP
Arrived in New York Today, Feel

NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-The
steamship Kaiser Wilhelm. on which
II. II, Hartman was aboard. arrived
at 2:30 this afternoon. The railroad
wizard told the reporters that he was
feeling pretty good. but refused pos-
itively to make any statement until
he reached his private car. which
was awaiting him at Jersey City.
While aboard the steamer he re-
manned the greater part OF the time
In his cabin. Upon his arrival here
Hartman was taken on the liner by
one Of the tugs Of the Southern Pa
cific Railway company and was land
ed at the Erie railway station In Jer-
sey City a short time later.
There il manifest disappointment
in Wall street that MIR. HarFiman's
sojourn abroad has not set him up
sufficiently that he may resume at
once active charge Of the great inter
ests with which his name Ia assocI-
ated. Today both the Southern and
Union Pacific directors will meet. but
II has not been suggested that Mr..
Hartman will try 70 attend these
meetings.

ASSESSOR SMITH
REMAINS FIRM
Places Assessment on Ditch Con-
yeying Water Out of State

The Spokane Land & Water COM
pany, of Spokane, which owns the
large ditch which carries water from
Post Falls to point over the state
line In Washington. distance Of FIVE
and one-haIf miles, is claiming ex-
emption from taxation on the prop
erty on the plea that in this state
all irrigation bitches form a part in
value Of the land, according to the
state law; but as they are foreign
corporation and the ditch thus taxed
is not used for irrigation in Idaho
or Kootenai county, but that water Is
carried in great quantity over the
state line and sold in Washington for
q specified sum, is the reason for
making an assessment. After care
fully considering the matter Assessor
Smith inquired of them the value OF
the property for the purpose of plac-
ing an assessment on it, The reply
he received was in the nature of :
mot to NEEDLE" kind, with the in.
formation that it was exempt accord
ing to the Idaho law on irrigation
bitches.
This did not satisfy Assessor
Smith, who is ever trying to fill hi
Office fair and impartially and do jus
tice to all, so he called on the man
ager of the company a second tins
and asked for the same desired in
formation, but received no more sat
isfaction than before. He went t,
the property and, after personally in
specting it, placed an assessed val
uation of $4,000 upon it.
The representatives of the com
pany appeared before the count
board of equalization at its recen
meeting and, after considerable fig
uring and explaining. succeeded /
having it reduced to $4,000. Sti
this did not satisfy and they endeaN
ored further to have it wiped GU
but without avail Yesterday wa
the last day of meeting of the stat
board of equalization, and during th
forenoon the manager of the con
pany called on Mr.. Smith and aske
him If he did not think it best
call the board by telephone and az
wise them that the property was mol
assessable and to have it stricke
off the roll, but the assessor coui
: not see it that way, and emphatieal
told them so, saying that he cou
/, not and that 1t was now out of h
hands.as he had done what he b
: lieved to be right, just and true ar
he could not now change his dec
: sion.
/ Thus the matter stands and the a
! sessment remains on the assessor
books of Kootenai county to be pa
or else be settled In the courts.
