The court is asked to compel the
state executive council to assess the
railway, express, telegraph and teie'
phone companies in the manner as
provided by law, so as to determine,
respectively, as to each corporation,
the true and actual cash market value
Of it's property within the state for
1911.
Adjustment Asked.
Also, the court is requested to di-
rect the state executive council to adj
Just the valuation of the several
classes of property of the counties Of
the state by adding or deducting from
the valuation such percentage in each
case as will bring it to its taxable
value.
The petition AYERS that farm lands
are assessed at less average per cent
of their actual cash market value than
are town and city lots and real estate.
It is charged in the petition that the
board of equalization adjusted the
value of town lots on the basis OF an
actual value of $35, 269,663, whereas
their cash market value on the day
the assessment was made, was $642,-
223,5e5.
Moneys and credits, the petition
states, were assessed at $169, 131 ,O95,
although the assessment should have
been $2O2,957,314. Merchandise was
assessed at $S2,670,371. Pierce asserts
the actual market value of moneys and
credits in July when the assessment
was made, was $99,215, 245.
Says He Has Records.
Mr. Pierce AYERS he has records to
show that town and city property are
assessed at from 81 to SIS per cent Of
it's actual value, whereas farm prop
erty was fraudulentlyy adjusted by the
council at from 40 to so per cent of its
actual value.
1t is alleged by Mr.. Pierce that the
board did not make assessments in
good faith and that the members did
not exercise their honest discretion,
but that they acted arbitrarily and
consciously in violation Of and with
out regard to law.
That the state executive council has
not the power to go to the expense
necessary to arrive at the actual valu-
alton of the railroad and express prop
erty and other big taxable concerns
of the state is the belief Of w. G. Hay
ward, secretary OF state, the only
member of the executive council who
was in Des Moines yesterday.

The following clipping from the
report of the State Land Depart
ment shows Idaho's standing in re-
gard to irrigation:
Idaho leads the world az an ir-
rigation state. No other state in
the American Uuion can boast OF
such an irrigated area as Idaho con-
tains; no other state has expended
so many millions in the reclama-
ton of arid lands, and no Other
state has go many acres available to
entry. ldaho's canals are the long.
est, her engineering feats are the
most wonderful, and her water sup.
ply the most inexhaustable. Nc
other state has been 80 active to Sc
cure the benefits of the Carey act as
Idaho, and with one possible ex-
ception, no other state has benefited
80 much by the United States Rec
lamation act. And, furthermore,
no other state has done so much
and made such progress in irriga-
CATION through individual efforts
and private enterprises. -

WENDELL IDAHO, NOVEMBER 9, 1871
MORE TIME ALLOWED.

Entrymen on Carey act lands will
no longer lie required To make set
tlement within six months after the
notice Of availability of water has
been published. Such was the de
cision Of the state land board at Il
meeting held last week, and this
decision Is far reaching in. its effect
and foreShadows a new policy to-
wards settlers upon Carey act lands
Under the present laws, and the
rules and regulations adopted there
under by the hoard, Carey act COM
panieS are required To give notice Ia
purchasers of Carey act lands a. To
the date upon which water for irri-
CATION will be available, and under
Rule IL Of the rules and regulations
adopted by the board, the purchaser
Of Carey act lands must establish
residence thereon within six months
Of the date given for the availability
of water.
After Il conference with the Gov
ernor, State Auditor Taylor ut this
meeting presented a resolution abol-
iShing this rule, which was unani-
mously adopted 10y the board. Aud
itor Taylor gives various reasons
for abolishing this rule, which, a.
he states, has,entailed hardships on
settlers who came onto the land in
accordance with the law, but who
have suffered financial reverscs ON
account Of the failure of the COM
panies to furnish an ample supply
of water.
Carey Act Commissioner Shaw
han has been instructed To prepare
new rules relative To time of resi-
dence, which 1t l. thought VIII be
extended to IS months or more, de
pending upon circumstances. In
closing Mr.. Taylor states:
In speaking of these matters |
desire to say that the establishing
of the Carey act department has
more than met the expectations of
the land board, and the results fully
Justify the expense. We have
thousands of settlers living on Carey
act projects and, therefore, a de-
partment giving its entire time and
attention to the needs and wants Of
these settlers, is a consideration
Justly due them. Mr.. Shawhan is
proving himself the right man for
the place

NO NEED-FOR STATE COMMISSION

Complete control of the railroad.
of the country by the interstate
commerce commission and virtual
elimination of the state commissions
from such control is foreshadowed
in an opinion handed down by the
supreme court of the United States
last week.
The court held that hereafter all
locomotives, cars or other equip
ment used on any railroad, which
Is a highway of interstate commerce,
must comply with the federal ap-
pliance act.
In its opinion the court held that
compliance with the federal law j.
compulsory on all railroads engaged
In the transportation of persons or
freight from one state to another.
Celebrating upon this, however, it
held that the cars or equipment of
such roads even if engaged in trans
portation within the confines of a
state must be considered as part and
parcel of the road and therefore
completely under the jurisdiction
Of the federal commission.

ODD FUNCTION OF HOGS LEG
Escape Pipes for Discharge Of Waste
Matter Not Used in Economy of
Body Placed There.

The hogs legs perform a function
not known to any other animal. and
that Is an escape pipe or pipes for the
discharge Of waste matter or sweat
not used in the economy of the body.
These pipes are situated upon the in
side OF the legs. above and below the
knees In the forelegs and above the
gambrel joints in the hind legs, but In
the latter they are very small and the
functions are light Upon the inside
of the forelegs they are. In the healthy

His escape valves are confined to the

People often wonder why II is that
the hog dies 50 suddenly when he

you consider the few escape pipes

from the cavity where the heat is

dies quickly when overheated. but that
he lives as long as he does when
heated up.

Idaho at Omaha.

The Idaho State exhibit at the
Omaha Land Show is receiving
much comment from the news
papers throughout the country, and
these comments are not confined 10
Idaho papers exclusively. The ex-
hibit was under the direction of the
Commissioners of the State lmmi-
grafton Bureau, and a. reported by
the press was not only unique, but
very attractive.
An attractive feature of the ex-
hibit was the electric lighting. A.
the visitor entered the door, two
large Idaho electric signs, made in
pennant form, appealed TO the eye
in persuasive way. Drawing
nearer the booth, an enlarged pho
tograph done on bromide and es-
pecially colored, showing a typical
farm view with a band of sheep in
the foreground, attracted many
people who have learned to recog-
nize Idaho as a great wool and NUT
ton producing state. On either
side were shown enlarged bromide
photographs illustrating the water
resources and water power views.
No ropes or ratings were thrown
about the Idaho exhibit. The Wis
itors felt an inviting atmosphere
among the beautiful jars Of fruits,
vegetables and grains and the large
photographs, specially mounted,
showing dairy scenes, some SPLEEN
did types of Poland China's, poul-
try, horses, cattle and comfortable
farm homes; dry farm harvest
scenes, timber and thrifty homes in
the non-irrigated district, appealed
to the visitors from every direction.
Large glass cases set with illumi-
mated transparency photographs,
were hlled with shocks OF oats.
With white artificial light above
them showing Idaho sunshine pen
etratiag the very depths of the
shock and setting forth bright,
heavy panicles of oats, they looked
very natural. Around the shocks
and partly hidden were shown mag
nifcient pheasants, grouse and Cal
ifornia quail, which are now being
stocked in many parts of Idaho.
A progressive advertising cam
paign was carried on by the Com
missioner, which cannot fail to re-
suit in much benefit to the state.

BUTTERMILk PAINT

Among the many uses that but
termilk may be put to Is the manu-
facture of buttermilk paint The
adhesive qualities of the casein
qualities in buttermilk render it
very useful in the making of paint
for fences and outbuildings.
The following formula has been
found to give very good results at a
very low cost: One gallon of but
termilk, three pounds of Portland
cement and sufficient cOloring mat
ter to give the desired color. The
paint should be applied soon after
it is made and should be stirred a
great deal while painting. One
difficulty is that the cement has a
tendency to settle to the bottom of
the bucket unless it is stirred con-
siderably. The paint requires about
six hours for drying after which
time it will shed water very success
fully.
A coat of this paint will not only
help to preserve the wood but will
greatly improve the looks of fences
and outbuildings. Venetian red or
almost any color may be used. The
paint does not give very glossy
surface, so would not be very good
for painting anything on which
fine finish is desired.

at Thousand Springs for the last

that active work on a power plant

have control of this power site and
it is thought that the war that is on
between the Power companies is re-
sponsible for the present activity.
The ladies of Rupert were to have
visited Wendell Wednesday, but
owing to the fact that the number
of passengers was limited to 60, and
that $50 of the Rupert ladies signi-
fled their intention of taking the
trip, it was thought best to call it
off before any hard feelings were
caused. Possibly if they had known
what a good feed was being prepared
for them at Wendell they would
have found other ways of getting
over here.
