CAN THIS BE EQUAL1zED9

Representatives of the rail
road and lumber interests ap-
peared before the state board of
equalization last week, and pres
ented their claims for equitable
and fair treatment at the hands of
that body in the adjustment of
their taxes on a basis with other
property interests of the state.
The representatives of these two
interests also presented to the
board the estimates which they
had made of the work of the as
SCISSORS in the various counties,
taken from leash value point
of view, as nearly as it could be
reached by them.
The state board of equalization
also sent agents into the various
counties to make estimates of the
work done by the assessors in
relation to the leash value" bas.

THROWN FROM THE BUGGY

On Tuesday while Mrs. c. c.
PEBBLES and Gene were driving a
pair of young horses near Louis
Weber's place, the animals be-
came frightened and started to
run. In her excitement, Mrs.
PEBBLES caught one of the lines
and pulled it out of Genes hand
and then jumped from the buggy,
striking on her side and elbow.
Mrs. PEBBLES is a large woman
and the fall was severe one,
stunning her and causing her con.
siderable suffering. DR.. Stock
ton when called found the shoul-
der dislocated and that she had
sustained several severe bruis-
es. Gene, left in the buggy with
one line, ran the horses into a
fence and stopped them. Taken
altogether, it was a fortunate es-
cape from what promised to be a
very serious affair.

CHAMBERLAIN BOUND OVER.

Sheriff Overman returned last
Friday from Eagle River, Wis,
bringing with him Stranger l..
Chamberlain, for whom requisi-
tion papers had been issued by
Gov. Hawley, but who came back
without protest.
Chamberlain was married here
on the 18th of July and two days
later left his wife, taking with
him 5000 of her money and other
possessions, later writing to the
wife from Spokane that he was
headed for Old Mexico. Instead,
however, he returned to his form
er home at Eagle River, and was
there arrested by the officers on
information from the sheriff. at
this place, on a charge of embez-
element.
Chamberlain had his prelimin-
AIRY hearing before Probate Judge
DeHaven on Monday, and was
bound over to the district court
in the sum of $1,000. Chamber
lain refused legal advice and de-
clined to offer any evidence or
testify himself. Prosecutor Grit
fifth certainly treated him with
the utmost consideration, at the
hearing.

HASTINGS ON STATE TAXES.

Ex-State Treasurer G. A. Hast
ings, in the following article to
the Lewiston Tribune sets forth
clearly some of the places where
the taxes this year and next will
be unavoidably increased. He
says:
"The Tribune's figures from
Boise. of the total value OF
1888, 100000 for the state of Ida
no before equalization, is the first
approximate amount of valua-
tion we have had. Grant that
the amount should be correct,
then let us see where our state
taxes will be. In the first place
the ad valorem tax raised by a
general tax is 100000 this year,
as against 100000 last year. This
means an additional running ex-
pense of 100000 each year for
the years 1911 and 1912. This
bill was approved last March by
Governor Hawley, and probably
40 per cent of the appropriation
is already spent, 50 no one can

WOULD BUILD
ROAD TO MINES
Mine Owners and Citizens
Agree as to the Urgent
Need of Roads.

A. A. Hammer, secretary and
treasurer of the Gold Ridge Min
ing 4 Development company,
owners of the Wonder Group in
the Ten Mile country, is in the
city on business connected with
the company's valuable mining
interests, which are located 80
miles southeast of Grangeville.
Mr.. Hammer, like all of the
mining men who have visited the
central Idaho mining districts, as
well as the citizens of this com
munity, sees the crying need for
at least good wagon road tran
sportation facilities in the devel-
opment of the world of mineral
wealth which lies hidden in the
secret fecesses of the surround
ing hills. Mr.. Hammer, however,
differs somewhat from the others,
inasmuch as he is prepared to
state that if a franchise could be
secured, he will see that first
class automobile road is con-
structed right into the heart of
the South Fork mining country.
This would be the greatest boon
to the mining interests and to
Idaho county that could be offer
ed at this time. There may be
some legal complications inter
vening, but none it is believed
but what could be removed by
the proper steps and the cooper
alton of the county commission
ers. This certainly is a matter
for the commercial club and bust
ness men to look into at once.

since that date that amount ha
been increased to $4,000, whicl

YES in most eloquent and convinc-

Let it be borne in mind that
Gov. Hawley declared in his
speech in Grangeville that his
leash value plan was one that
would work, because he was go
ing to see that it did work, p"
and that it would equalize to a
minimum the difference between
the various county values; furth-
er, that the assessor who failed
to assess property at the cash

office. The Globe does not wish

Great Boost for that Entrpris-

The promoters of the huge con-
crete dam built in the Middle
Fork of the Clearwater at this
point have been a little slow, but
they have not been idle. The

this proposition week after week

sion to lose confidence in it or

About the first of September
actual construction work on the
dam will begin. Men and teams
have already been hired and
building is now in course of con
struction in which to put the
sacked cement as it is hauled
from the cars. Two cars of ce-
ment are already on the ground
and more on the road. A con
crete mixer, together with other
paraphernalia to be used in the
work was shipped from the east
last week and will be here with
in week or ten days. The
cement is being shipped from
Ogden, Utah, where the company
owns and operates an extensive
cement plant. just how exten-
sive the work will be entered in
to on the start we are not prepar.
ed to say at this time, but this
much can be said: The dam will
be started as stated above and
the whole proposition carried
through as fast as possible. What
this dam is being built for will
be given out later. That part
of it has all been figured out by
those directly interested and when
the proper time comes the Noun
taineer will tell you all about it.
In the meantime let us all con-
tent ourselves with the fact that
the dam is going in. With pre-

CAME OUT FORTUNATE.

Nelson Macarthur is now re-
ioicing in his good fortune, and
the possession of 500 sacks OF
wheat which he narrowly escap-
ed having burned up. The thresh-
ing machine was at his place 312
miles northwest Of town on Tues
day and finished threshing 500
sacks Of wheat and then moved
away in the middle of the after
noon, leaving the wheat piled up
near the straw pile, with straw
from the bucker scattered all
around. At 2:30 on Wednesday
morning j. NJ. Gilmore who liv-
es next door to Mr.. Macarthur
here in town was called by phone
to notify him that his wheat was
burning up on his farm. The two
drove at once to the place and
found that the straw had burned
all around the pile of wheat and
burned the sacks from some of
the outside tiers, and that the
wheat when released from con-
finement had rushed out with
such force that it had extinguish-
ed the fire without any damage
other than the destruction of the
sacks. This may certainly be
counted fortunate escape from
a heavy loss.

cut that appropriation. Now re-
garding the general interest and
sinking fund, a levy was made of
2 mills on the dollar, and the bill
was signed and approved by the
governor. That, then, would
bring in $676,000 for each year of
1911 and 1912. Your other speci
al taxes will bring in an increas-
ed revenue of 81 100000 each this
year and next, which must be
raised by direct taxation. The
only power and authority the
state board of equalization has
excepting one or two minor
pieces) is to edualize as between
counties, and to fix the value of
railroad, telephone and telegraph
companies. Yet Governor Haw-
ley insists that they are greater
than the legislature. The consti
tuition says the legislature shall,
it does not say the state board of
equalization shall. Last year old
Nez Perce cou nty paid about 8
per cent of the total state tax
and our share was about $85, 900
An increase of appropriation of
81 100000 woul id mean $1,000 in
creased taxes for the present 3
counties of Nez Perez, Clearwat-
er and Lewis. 1t virtually means
that present Nez Perez county
will pay the same amount of
state taxes as old Nez Perez
county did last year. In addi-

MORE FISH FOR
THIS SECTION
To Distribute 15O,OOO---Get
In Your Bid to Deputy
Warden Pennell.

Lewiston Tribune: Deputy
State Game Warden Pennell yes
terday received letter from
Game Warden Ben R. Gray stat
ing that a shipment of 10000
trout from the Hay Spur hatchery
in southern Idaho would reach
here between Aug. 20 and Sept.
| for distribution in the streams
of Nez Perce, Lewis and Idaho
counties. The shipment compris-
es 100 cans, each can containing
1,500. Four men will accompany
the invoice here.
Applications for these trout
will bereceived by Warden Pen
nell during the next few days. 1t
is his plan if possible to have the
car make the run over the
Grangeville line from Lewiston,
the distribution to be made en-
route. 1t is also the purpose of
Mr.. Pennell to have the fish de-
livered only to persons acquainted
with handling them and he asks
that localities desiring the fish
see that proper person is Sc
cured for this work. He cites an
instance where recently 10000
fish were killed as the result of
being delivered to a person who
was ignorant of the method for
handling them The cans must
be kept moving, whereas in the
instance cited, the custodian al
lowed the cans to remain still
for two hours. Parties receiv-
ing fish are requested to seek
information as to how to handle
the fish if they are not acquaint-
ed with the matter.
Mr.. Pennell states that he
plans to deliver a large amount
of the shipment at Grangeville fo
distribution in the Idaho county
streams. Parties at Grangeville
have agreed to arrange for the
planting of the fish. This will
be the first shipment Idaho coun-
ty streams have received from
the state hatcheries. Mr.. Pen
nell also intends to plant a mum
ber in the upper stretches of Law
yers Canyon creek. He states
this stream is thirty miles long
and the paintings will be made
at three points. Sweetwater anc
Mission creeks will receive some
and tomorrow Mr.. Pennell will
leave for Kooskia to arrange fol
the delivery of some of the fist
to Clear creek.
Some time ago, 100000 fisl
were planted in the Tributaries
along the Clearwater and late
$4,000 were received which wen
into the Potlatch, Bear creek, So
dier Meadows and Deer creek.
Mr.. Pennell states that upol
application the state will be pre-
pared to deliver a good man.
more trout for the north Idah'
streams this season, the deliver.
to be made the latter part o
September. The Standpoint hatch
cry will have about 1,OOO,OO
available at that time. Mr.. Pen
nell states that the stocking o
the streams will ultimately resul
in north Idaho being the fisher
mans paradise. The fish com
prising the shipment now e.
route are known as the native o
Black Spotted trout.
