Il is indeed questionable whether
the Cherokees should oppose the col
lection of taxes on homesteads by the
state or not If Cherokee homesteads
are exempted other lands will suffer
by being taxed higher to make up for
the deficiency. In the judgement of
the Chieftain the land is the proper
subject of taxation and the burden
should be as nearly equal on all citi-
zens as possible. Our friends who
are running for Office in Craig county
might make it an issue in the coming
campaign If they are looking for an
issue.

SEEM THE NAMES.

If Belle Sweeney, were here she
would probably be able to forecast
appropriate names with her infalable
deck o. cards But, as her presence
is most conspicuous by her absence.
we will have to go it alone.
It's this proposition to change the
name Of our great and mighty irri-
gator, the Snake, to something more
congenial to the polite society-our
half-baked. Goldfish aristoracy.
We are in perfect sympathy with
the new geographical societies that
desire to right the terrible wrongs
that have been done to the face of
Nature in Idaho by those moss-backs
known as our pioneers, who disgrace
ed us by such a display OF ignorance
as is evidenced by the handles that
have been tackled to our outing
pictures, and we wish to take, this
means Of suggesting a few approp-
riate appendages, that may Ne
found desirable.

strong and forceful speaker, thor

a simplicity and beauty which at

the greater part of his preaching was
directed to church members in an eff
fort to lead them to deeper cOnsecra-
ton in Christian work. Pastor Jones
stated to his congregation that this
was largely what he wished Mir
Welch to do and he was not disap
pointed in the evangelist work. Mr.

deeply interested the Christian people
of all denomination and the resul
of the meeting will be long remem
