ed to be held at Caldwell last
Thursday to dis uss the order OF
Governor Hawley that all property

that was to assess property at its
cash value. The governors in

as follows:
This provision of the law must

spirit. No deviation from this rule
will be tolerated. We will insist up
On an exact compliance with this
section of the statutes. If a given
piece Of property has a cssh value

An Attractive Farm HON ;.

One of the most attractive farm
homes on the bench is that of C. j.
Bulard, norjh Of town. The resi-
dence is a modern and very pre- ty
building, the outbuildings are large
and of most substantial character
ana the well kept grounds ard or
chard surrounding betoken taste
sld care. The only criticism that
hight be made is that Mr. Bullard
mas hidden his light under a bushel
basket, to use a scriptural illuslra-
tIcn. The farm buildings are To-
Gated in ravine and are hidden
from the view of the rest of the

Chris Bertleson Loses Three
While Fording
at Falks.

Mr.. Seftz was driving to the Bert
Lesson ranch in the lower end of Pad
dock valley from the valley ranch
few miles south of Falks. One of
his team was a colt and was hitched
to lumber wagon. A saddle horse
was tied to the rear of the wagon.
As the bridge at that point has
been out since last fall, the only
way of crossing is TO ford When
in the middle OF the stream the colt
became frightened and in plunging
got one Of his legs over the other
1orse's neck and both lost their foot
ing. They were swept into deep
water and despite the heroic efforts
of their driver to save them, they
were drowned, together with the sad
die horse.
The ranchers living in the vici-
nifty of Falks and the sheepmen who
either have to cross there or come
out of their way about u miles to
emmett, complain bitterly because
the bridge, which collapsed several
months ago has net been rebuilt
they claim they pay a large amount
of taxes and are entitled to better
treatment. 1t is hoped the county
bmmissioneIs will at once take
cps to rebuild this much needed
ridge.

IN recent discussion before the Royal So
L ciety in London of the phenomenon of
" trichromic vision" the case of scientist,
known for his researches in electrical science,
was described. When looking at the bright
spectrum of sunlight, this scientist sees only
three colors,- red, green, and violet. For him
there is no definite color in the part of the
spectrum that appears to persons with nor
NAL vision pure blue. He can distinguish
nothing of the nature of pure yellow in the
spectrum. Reddish green would describe
the orange and yellow parts, and greenish
violet the blue parts as he sees them. In
testing with colored yarns, the wool changed
color to him when contrasted, although a
normal sighted person saw no difference.
These facts show how different our favor
tie colors may possibly appear to some of
Our friends.

AERO DECLARED TO BE
WORTHLESS IN WAR.

Kansas City, Mo-. Dec. 12.-"The
aeroplane is worthless in time of war
declared Colonel w. S. Schuyler, U. ).
A, a close student of aviation, in an
interview here
In a real battle" continued the
Colonel, 1.-THE air currents would be
so disturbed by the heavy firing that
I doubt if the aeroplane could travel.
It's scouting value is lessened because
the man in it can see little from a
high altitude and he must be away up
to be out of range"
Colonel Schuyler declared the most
important recent invention, as far as
the army is concerned, is wireless
telegraphy. With the new army APP
paratus the operator has a range of
twenty-five miles. This device keeps
scouting party of cavalrymen in
communication with the main body.
The cavalry will never again be

CLOSES THE FIRST YEAR
IN HIS new HOME
Twelve Months Ago He Had
Brilliant Opening

1t hardly seems year since the
brilliant opening of the new CONNER
cial home of Mr.. Charles L. AnsleV.
That was an event in the business
progress of Americas, one of the
strong indications of the rapid march
of the city in Improvements OF every
class. Hundreds of the citizens OF
Americas and the surrounding coun-
try availed themselves of the opening
night to pay their first visit to what
at once won recognition as one OF
the most modern emporiumS of this
section of the state in it's equipment,
one of the most attractive in it's gen
eral appearance.
Twelve months speedily pass, and
Mr.. Ansley is now celebrating the
first anniversary of his advent into
this beautiful new home. The year
has been of a highly satisfactory
business in every department of his
store. Heis signalling the anniver-
sary and the excellent patronage that
base come since the removal from the
old quarters, by one of the greatest
rug sales ever known hereabouts.
Mr.. Ansley does not carry rugs as a
general thing. These rugs were re-
Gently bought in New York by him
the sole purpose of offering them
as an anniversary token. The stock
selected for the purpose of pleasing
the most fastidious of tastes, the
prices have been made to suit the
most economical of purses, and the
whole lot are on sale simply as ami
, versary bargains.
The past five years have seen Won
derful steps forward in the business
world of Americas, but no step was
of more pronounced character or
has proven more eminently well-ad-
vised and successful than the cree
ton of a modern home for his bust
ness by Mr.. Ansley. His many
friends throughout the city and this
section Will join in extending con-
CALCULATIONS on the close of the first
twelve months and expressing the
hope that many more years of pros
perity await him in the structure that
adorns Jackson street, and evidences
his abiding faith in the future f
Americas.
