Assess at Cash Value

The state board of equalization
Of Idaho has agreed tnat the as.
essment of all taxable property
must hereafter be made at its full
cash yaiae, and the various assess
ors OF the state haYe been so noti-
fed. This is an Innovation in
Idaho and the announcement has
created surprise. The assessors
Of tie state, at a meeting held
some months ago, stated that the
assessment Of property at its cash
value could not be accomplished
WITH success in Idaho. But it is
done in other states, and Governor
HaWlsy and the state board have
started in on campaign to have
the law, which is1 a dead letter,
enforced strictly. Heretofore, in
Ada county, property has been as:
sessed at approximately one-thitd
value, but with a wide variation.
II ID feared the new order will
work hardship in the assessment
of some farm properly, or it will
bring such property down to a
lower valuation. Some farms in
the vicinity Of Meridian have been
assessed as low as one-fifth the
market value. Assessor Els
worth's work in Ada county,
which had already started, has
Been held up, pending the positive
announcement from the governors
Office, to assess all property this
year at full value, and he will now
carry out the orders. This will
greatly add to the gross valuation,
and of course lower tax rate will
make the amount paid by the tax
payer the same as in other years.

CONTRACT APPROVED
Bent and Prowers District Vote,
to Make Contract for. h1.iga-
ton System

FOrty-two voters out of a pos
sible fifty, many of them coming
from a great distance. turned out
at the three polling places in the
Bent and Prowers district last Sat
urday, and cast their votes unani-
mously in favor of ratifying the
proposed contract between the dis
trict and the Southwest Construc-
ton Co. for the construction of the
reservoirs and canal system. There
was no opposition at all but un-
der the terms of the law creating
the irrigation district it was neces-
sary for a majority of the voters
to turn out and they did it in spite
of severe weather and long dis
tance. The company. we are in
formed, have already prepared theii
bond and there will be very little
delay now in signing up the con-
-ract and getting ready for work
IN this big enterprise.
The landholders under the sys-
-em are very enthusiastic over the
prospect and they have reason to
be as 1t is one of the largest. and
,inest bodies of landsubject to irri-
ssI.ion anywhere in the west and
after years of delays and trials and
hardships too numerous to be
,ounted. during which many have
had to give up the struggle and
iose their land. they begin this new
year with a bright prospect os at
last gaining their great aim and
seeing their farms made valuable
by water. The year 1911 will be
the best of all to these long suf-
tering land owners. we hope.
No enterprise that has ever been
inaugurated here will do more for
Lamar and Prowers county than
will this Bent and Prowers ditch.
The entire body of 10000 acres is
in the heart OF the Lamar terri
tory and will be tributary to this
city, and three-fourths Of II will
be added to the assessed valua-
ton OF the county making splend-
Id increase in our total valuation.
1t will also furnish work for sew
eral years to hundreds of people
and teams and put some millions
of money in circulation in the
county. II ia one. Of the big un-.
dertakings in the development OF

coincidence that this greatest feed
er OF the Arkansas river should be
one of the last tohave its water
'esources developed. This. however
>nly enhances the value of the
;reat supply from which the new
district will get its water.

proposition all legal voters could

THE YEAR 1910
Much Has Been Accomplished and
Much More Being Accomplish
ed for Lamar and Prov.
CTS County

Now that 1910 has passed in
to history and new year is be-
ginning a glance back will show
that the old year as whole
dealt very kindly with Lamar and
Prowers county. and the new one
gives promise of even greater
benefits than the old.
In the great work of irrigation.
which is the first consideration in
the development of this section
it will be found that while not so
much construction work as usual
was done. yet the preparatory steps
were taken in the organization Of
irrigating districts for greater de-
velopment of our resources than
ever WIS done before. In the
Bent and Prowers the last day
of the year witnessed the ratifi-
cation of the contract which means
the irrigation of $4,000 acres of
fine land in Bent and Prowers
counties. The Granada and Holly
district was organized early in the
year and have the work we'll ad-
vanced on plans which will develop
and bring under cultivation $4,000
acres of splendid land on the
south side between here and the
state line. This is one of the best
areas of land susceptible of irriga
ton that is undeveloped and has
splendid basis of supply. and there
/. little reason to doubt its final
success. little later in the year
III Mammoth district north OF the
river was organized to irrigatt
$4,000 acres of the very best land
III Prowers and Kiowa counties.
Much work has been done by this
district and a contract has beer
entered into and partially consum-
mated for its Development. and II
I. My awaits the decree of the court
confiraning The bond issue for flu
ture work to be done.
The census taken the past year
giss Prowers county and Lamar
m = higher place in the rank of
COMES and cities than they have
heldpefore and will make them
ctpetter recognized in the fu-
ture pm heretofore. There is
mueh rod that mAy result from
this in matter of apportionmen'
and re,llsification OF the counties.
The g of all kinds for the
pastyear have been bountiful all
owe the county and the prices
,ssve been good and the farmers
have every reason to feel good
over the result of their years
work.
In Lamar there has been the
usual s.e1dy growth and constant
spreading out of the business dis
trict. The most notable building
of the year was the $4,000 Mark
ham-Silver block just north of the
Postof ice building. occupying 100

than that Of the earth, with the re-
suit that at opposition Mars may be

close as 35,000.O00 miles away, when
it is as near as it can possibly come

HANDLES TEMPER.

as the prince arrived Handel gave the

such was the horrible discord that the
enraged musician started up from his
seat, and, having overturned a double
bass, which stood In his way, be seized
a ~kettledrum, which he threw with
such violence at the leader Of the band
that he lost his full bottomed wig in
the effort.
Without waiting to replace it he
advanced bareheaded to the front Of
the orchestra, breathing vengeance,
but so much choked with passion that
~utterance was denied him. In this
ridiculous attitude he stood, staring
