Ii is doubtful If there has been an
election in recent years that has given.
more general satisfaction to Washington
politicians than that recently held in 3
number of states. The capitol is pretty
well filed again with statesmen, and
among the Democrats there is real JOY
over the returns of Ohio. Kentucky and
Massachusetts,, and scattering results in
Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico and else
where. Regular Republicans get their
consolation principally from Maryland,
which elected Republican governor,
and from New York, Rhode Island and
elsewhere, and in the maintaining Of
their party machinery in Gle lak>ttiu-
sets and New York legislatures. The
Progressive Republicans have captured
the balance of power in the legislature
of New Mexico. and viii have TO be
reckoned with Ia the choice Of two
United States senators. They have
taken part in the elections in most of
The states, and while an analysis of re-
turns defining their gains Is more or less
Of conjecture, yet there are strong
evidences that this branch OF the Re-
publican organization has plenty OF re-
suits TO warrent enthusiasm. The SEN
sational feature of all the results has
been regarded here as the decapitation
OF machine rule In Philadelphia, where
the forces of the powerful Senator Pen
rose were routed completely. The
Progressives are making the most Of the
Philadelphia matter, and assert that the
wiping out Of majority Of 100000 and
the election of an independent ruler Of
the city, Is strong evidence that the In.

TALKS OF THE FROZEN DOG
Col. Hunter Tells Detroitites of HIS
Idaho Possessions.

Colonel William C. Hunter was
in Detroit, Mich, last week and
was interviewed by the News. Aftel
reading what Colonel Bill told those
Michiganders Old Bill Misgivens and
Truthful James will undoubtedly
crawl in ther holes and pull the
holes in after them. But you can
Judge for yourself; here's the dope:
Col. VIM. c. Hunter is editor of
the "Howling Wolf of Frozen Dog,
Idaho. He is also mayor of the
town of which the name is so preg-
nant with so many melodramatic
suggestions 1t is located among
the Idaho sage brush on the branch
of a new railroad, and it has 34S
people. The "Howling Wolf''-we
have the Colonel's word for it
has a circulation of 347 and one
sample copy is printed for the editor
said Mr.. Hunter, at the Pontchar-
train, this morning.
Portland, Oregon, has it's million
Club There are scores of towns
with 100000 clubs, or 100000 clubs
formed by the population boosters
In Frozen Dog we have slogan too
We have 34S people now and that's
quite some, but we are modest.
Our cry is 'on to 350.'
1--WE have SO feet of volcanic ash
on the sides of the hills and the
very richest of soil below where it
has washed down from the mountain
through millions of years. At the
apple congress, in Council Bluffs,
Idaho took the first prize, my coun-
ty leading the state and Frozen
Dog leading the county. The rich
soil and the hundred days of sun
shine without a cloud or drop of
rain during the summer is great
for apples, because they need the
sun to give them color"
Col. Hunter is just returning from
Europe where he has been many
times. He known Paris as well as
he knows New York. He dabbles
bit in the Ebert Hubbard stuff,
and has gotten out brass motto,
which says, Smile every morning
until 10 O'Clock and the rest of
the day will take care of itself"

Comment.

In calling attention to the fore
going assessments, The Index does
not desire to censure Assessor Mar
tin, but simply to call attention to
the inequality of the assessment.
Mr.. Martin is cons, ientious and hon.
est and there is not a particle of
doubt but that he is doing his du-
ty as he sees it. But nevertheless, a
wrong is being done that should not
be permitted to pass unnoticed.
There is no equality in assessing
raw bench land at 500 per acre
and suburban acreage at 5000; a
residence lot on Main street at $25
and those on First and Second SITS.
Cor other streets) in equally de-
sirable locations at 1925 and up.
These are examples picked at ran
dom, and are so conspicuous that no
argument is needed to point out the
unfairness.
at a more equitable assessment. The
city council or the Commercial Club
should confer with Assessor Christie
pher and Deputy Martin and en-
deavor to agree upon basis of as
sessment that will be absolutely fair
to everyone. If the actual worth of
property is to be the basis make it
that Don't assess a $4,000 build
ing in town at $4,000, and acreage
at 5000 when it is worth $500, so
long as farm lard worth 500 is
assessed at $100. There is moth
ing just about it.

Bridge Petitions Heard.

The county commissioners last
week had under consideration two
petitions for bridges across the riv-
er between Emmett and Falks, one
at the Simmons ranch and the other
at the Schrecongost ranch about a
mile this side of Letha. The latter
location was considered favorably
and surveyors have been at work
this week locating roads to connect
the proposed bridge with the coun-
ty roads on each side of the river.
Indications are that an election will
be called to vote upon three bridges
one at Payette, one at New Ply
mouth and the one referred to
above.

Fruit Conditions Never Better

I C. w. Cook reports similar con-
ditions. He brought to town Sat-
urday trimmings from his 2-year-old
apricot trees that are so full of bud:
that there is not room for even the
leaves. Henry Cooke tells the same
story. Only a limited crop of peach
es will be grown from these young
trees. But next year Emmett will
be shipping peaches and apricots in
commercial quantities.
What is true of apricots and
peaches, is also true of apples, cher
ries, pears and prunes, Never in tn,
history of this great fruit section
has there been such a promise of
fruit of all kinds.
