Boise = Although the members Of
the board of equalization cut and
slashed all day in the valuation of var
ious counties, there was no pretense
on the part of anyone that any assess
ment was being adjusted to the stand
ard of cash value, but, on the con-
trary, every move seemed to be with
the object of equalization of the coun-
ties one with another. On patented
land Bannock and Canyon counties
came in for severe drubbing at the
hands of the board. The increase in
Bannock amounts practically to rs per
cent fiat; that of Canyon to Is per
cent fiat. These are the only two
counties that were given material
raises. Bonner and Washington were
given cut of 80 per cent, and Twin
Falls 20 per cent. These were the
deepest cuts made.
Ada county was given the 20 per
cent horizontal cut made by the board
of county commissioners, and in addi-
ton to this cut of 10 per cent was
made on patented lands.
Changes were made in patented
lands in the counties as follows:
Increases - Bannock, 20 per cent;
Canyon, Is.
Decreases = Ada, 10 per cent; Ad-
ans, 10; Bear Lake, 20; Blaine, 8;
Boise, 10; Bonner, 30; Bonneville,
10; Clearwater, 10; Elmore, 10;
Kotenai. 15; Lewis, 10; Nez Perce,
s; Owyhee, 10; Shoshone, 10; Twin
Falls, 25; Washington, 30.
Bingham, Cassia, Custer, Latah,
Lincoln and Oneida were allowed to
stand. AS a rule Auditor Taylor
fought for deeper cuts in land assess
ments, and as rule Governor Hawley
fought against deeper cuts on any
thing. The governor voted for 20
per cent raise in Canyon county. The
governor and the attorney general
voted for 20 per cent cut in Wash
ington county. Allen, Clifford and
Taylor voted for a 80 per cent cut
and carried the day. Auditor TAYLOR
voted for 35 per cent cut in Twin
Falls county. Treasurer Allen moved
for 20 per cent cut and this carried.
Auditor Taylor moved for a 40-per
cent cut in Bonner, but 80 per cent
was agreed upon, Governor Hawley
voting nay.
Governor Hawley tried to get a 10
per cent raise in Latah county, but
failed. The governor moved to in
crease Bannock county 80 per cent.
Attorney-General McDougall tried to
fix it at 20 per cent. In the end 25
per cent was agreed upon.

Taking the initiative in movement
which after ii years of effort prom
Uses to bring about the reclamation of
about 10000 acres of swamp lands
in Bonner county, Paul Claqstone
former speaker of the Idaho house
has begun the task of pumping mil
lions of gallons of swamp water from
a 650-acre holding adjoining Clagstone
Junction on the Spokane International
railroad.
The main Importance of the under
taking lies in the fact that it is be-
lieved to be the signal for hundreds of
other swamp land owners in Bonner
county to begin activity on a work
which has been urged and legislated
for more than 10 years.
The Clagstone project is a simple
drainage system by bitches, pumps
and dyke The cost for the $50 acres
will be about So, 500, or $40 an acre.
and when the work is finished within
few weeks it will have converted
valueless waste of swamp land into
rich, tillable valley four miles in
length, which Mr.. Clagstone declares
will have productive value of about
$500 an acre.

Moscow-The statement published
last week that August Lunstrum, two
miles southwest of Moscow, harvested
81 acres of wheat that averaged al
most AZ bushels machine measure. was
doubted by members of the chamber
of commerce, and it was thought best
not to have exaggerated statements
made about the yields. 1t was decid-
ed to have the field surveyed and Pro-
fessor Childers, agronomist at the ag-
ricultural college of the university.
was selected to have the work done by
surveyors. The survey shows August
Lunstrum 8 wheat not only went 48
bushels to the acre, but much more.
Mr.. Lunstrum was correct in having
81 acres in his field, but before he
harvested for threshing he cut two
rounds with his moving machine on
the outside of the 81 acres for hay, and
also cut road through the center.
When the ground from which this
grain hay was cut was deducted from
the 81 acres in the field it was found
the wheat actually went 81 bushels
per acre.
