Priesthood Of Help.

When Christian, in Pilgrims Pro
gress, was passing through the Valley
OF the Shadow of Death, overpowered
with the darkness, frightened by the
hobgoblins which leered and chatter
ed around him, almost ready to sink
down into despair, he heard the voice
OF Hopeful sounding in the pathway
on before him, and cheered by the
ringing assurance of that fellow-travel-
er he plucked up heart Of courage.
and soon was walking in the light.
Thus 1t is in life, that those who have
passed through deep and agonizing
experiences of suffering are by that
very fact ordained TO the high priest
hood of help.
Let not the dread of Gethsemane
garden shadow the life with gloom.
Troubles always have alienation.
Though the Son OF Man drank there
a cup OF trembling such as was never
pressed to human lips, before or since,
II should not be forgotten that the
heavenly yisitants few to his relief in
the midnight. Were 1t not for crucial
moments in life We should never know
the refreshing sweetness OF angelic
ministrations.

that In checking up that evening oil
June 18th he found some pieces had
been overlooked, and that on the next
day he offered them and sold them
according to law, and as there were
no bidders he sold them to Ruth R.
Mccoy.
That being true, then, why did Mr..
Crowley make up the record Of the
transaction and show that it happen
ed on the goth? Since they, with one
exception, were not sold until the
3Oth, why did Mr.. Crowley state to
Herbert Anderson on the evening of

use the exact language, that there
were mo lots left in Crows addi-

I, paying up back taxes and penalties
and | did nothing unusual in asking
for such privilege, but 1t would be
a benefit to the county to get these
back taxes and get the property or
the rolls and get them to bringing
in taxes again.
In regards to the real value of the
property so purchased, will say that
a great deal of 1t is not very valu-
able as it is in the extreme out edge
of the town in most cases, for in
stance one man sold me seventeen
lots which cleared up and which !
have tried to ell for ten dollars each,
the offer is still open and l have fail
to get buyer.
In regards to page 146, line ~ of
the 1909 roll. On close investigation
you will find that the part not erased
is ....... .ey. This was purchas-
ed by A. M. Bailey, who was repre-
sented by Mr.. Johannesen, but I later
found that this property had been
once sold to the county and could not
be sold to an individual. | intended
to erase fully the name A. M. Bailey
but failed to do so completely, as l
left the icy" so they could be seen.
Mrs. Mccoy did not buy this prop
erty.
Relating to the red tx" these were
made to call attention merely and not
for the purpose of selling to Mrs Nc
Coy, further investigation of the bal
ance of the roll will show property
with the same marks sold to D. G.
Plat and other parties.
The former way would be wrong
for me to do, the later would be per-
fectly legitimate for anyone to do.
In all of the deeds given me IN
which one dollar is given as the con.
sideration the sum mentioned is only
nominal and not the real amount paid
for instance, in 1909 l purchased of
r. E. TAFT of Butte, lots As and 4S
in block 3, Crows, for these two lots
| paid ninety seven dollars and 2s
cents, yet the deed they gave me
names $1.O0, as the consideration.
Many cases in which the rea! consid-
Grafton is thousands of dollars are
given as one dollar.
In the spring of 1910 F. l.. Hatch,
B. A. Robinson and myself made an
agreement that we would try and
find some of the owners of property
that is delinquent for taxes. To that
end Mr.. Hatch went to Mr.. Jordan's
office and checked his records, and
later checked up with Mr.. Bradbury,
the abstractor at Idaho Falls. BY
these means he learned the where
abouts of some parties, or where
they had been. Then Mr.. Hatch visit

Reply of Mr.. Crowley

In regards to the quitclaim deco
received by C. E. Crowley from Clara
Eloise Monroe, which states con.
liberation of 81 for five lots in Idaho
Falls. hereby certify that this con.
sideration was only nominal and thai
paid her more than one dollar fol
these lots and afterwards redeemed
them by paying several years delin.
Quent taxes on the lots and further
that sold the five lots since that time
for Sc each, or the five for $50.
There is great deal of difference
between buying tax title, thereby
taking the property away from the
owner without paying the owner a
cent, and going to the owner and buy.
ing his interest and later redeeming
the property by paying up delinquent
taxes, we got about 70 lots in Crows
addition, not $50. Redemption from
delinquent taxes was made by virtue
or an order made by the county COM
missioners in 1904 which says, That
1t appearing that certain property had
been sold and decided to the county
for taxes it was ordered that the own
er of such property or their success
sor in interest could redeem such
property by paying all the back pen
alties and legal charges.
do not deny that | made appli-
cation to Mr., Jordan for cost to re-
deem this property to these parties
as it was decided that we could not
redeem, but I do say that it has
always been the custom for the record
owner to be allowed to redeem by

Will say that sold her the prop.
erty on the first day of the sale and
she was at no time present at either
sale. But ! first offered the property
at public auction to any bidder who
was present and when no one bid on
the property always made the state
ment sold to L. A. Wight and the
Tax Sale record will show that the
property was sold on the first day
of the sale. If any proof to the
foregoing statement is required the
parties who attended the sales are

When l.. A. Wight sent me the
money for the purchase of this prop
erty she made this statement in SUBJ
stance and effect, Il do not want to
bid against your people but anything
they do not want to buy will take. f"
To say further l will stand by and
admit everything which the records
of the Tax Sale of 1907 and 1908
shows. Will Mr.. Crowley who pub
fishes the statement that he sold the
property on the second day of the
sale or on June 80 and when he
makes up his record which shows that
he sold the property to Mrs. Mccoy
on the first day of the sale or on
June 20, 1910, stand by his without
any excuses whatsoever?

close gets into a rut that is as dis

for about two hundred people they
tried to find they found about twenty
and they paid them from one to $25
| per lot for Quitclaim deeds. We had
asked Mr.. Jordan for estimates on
these lots and he had given us state
ments which range from two to If
teen dollars per lot to redeem. l do
not deny that Hatch, Robinson and

ers but do deny that l took advant-

property, this they did in several

could do SO, but If the property had
been sold once to the coutny ! could
not sell to an individual.
In checking up after the sale
found some property that had either

had been offered and not sold. When
| found such cases made a red check
so would be sure and sell them the

A DEMOCRATIC LANDSLIDE

Yesterdays elections resulted in
a Democratic landslide in various
States, and the ground-swell recalls
the famous tidal wave of 1882.
The returns indicate that the next
House Of Representative will have
Democratic majority. a a result
Of legislative elections in many
States, the United States Senate
will probably have a reduced Re-
publican majority.
The following States are reported
as having elected Democratic COVER
nors:
New York. John A. Dix, SIS, 900
plurality.
New Jersey, Woodrow Wilson,
$1,000 plurality.
Massachusetts, Eugene n. Foss,
OO,VOV pluTdilty.
Connecticut, Simeon z. Baldwin,
1000 plurality.
Ohio, Judson Harmon, re elected
by $4,000 majority.
The election in Lexington and
Rockbridge passed off quietly and
very little interest was manifest.
Hon. H. D. Flood had no opposition
for Congress, and he received a
good vote.
The returns are too meager to
give results on the constitutional
amendments, but it seems that
2cckbridge favored bv q big major
ity the removal of restrictions on
the terms OF treasnrers and commits
sioners of the revenue.
Virginia elected eight Democra-
tic Congressman, and the result in
the Ninth and Fifth districts is an
doubt.

to the past) when these people once
year wendell their way TO the his
toric grounds of Lexington to enjoy
few days of this lovely period o.
the sere and yellow leaf in strollinp
around the old Fair Grounds. We
could gaze upon our beautiful noun
tains in their azure hue, that OF
every hand hedge in and guard thi.
portion OF our lovely valley. VIII,
should our fair have been abandoned
and our people been denied thi
heaven born privilege?
But now the ladies of New Provi
dence have supplied the missin,
link and by their indefatigable eli
forts have come with their flower
that can't be excelled in beauty an,
variety. And while we feast Oh
eyes upon this array of flowers an,

man with the rich abundance tina
ever crowns this blessed section c
