Expenses of State Will Exceed

Taxpayers Idaho will be inter-
ested in the figures in the recapitu-
lation given herewith showing the
total expenditures of the state for
the past two years and the expendi
lures made possible during the next
two years through the liberality of
Governor Hawley and the Eleventh
Legislature.
The chief Significance of the fig
ures lies in the enormous total of
over $5,000,000 for the next two
years. The widest guses was that
the total might go to $4.000,000,
and it was not until State Auditor
TAYLOR made a creaful investigation
OF all the records bearing on the
case that the real situation became
known.

Only $4,000 Remains To BE Sub

L.. Evans Adds 800 to
His Subscription and
Others Double Up

Only $4,000 remains to be sub

the railroad to Rockland and Mr..
Earring is positive this amount will
be raised as soon as the people who
have not been seen can be reached.
l.. l.. Evans increased his subscrip-
ton from $1,000 to $4,000 this
week and some of the other large
contributors have doubled up. There
remains a number of Rockland peo-
pie to be seen, and the Neeley sec

Mr. Watson is confident that con-
struction will begin in April. 1t
will be the policy of the builders
of the road to employ home labor to
the exclusion of all other where this
can be done, provided home people
care to have the work, and come
forth in numbers sufficient to COM
plete such work as can be done
them, and in time to have the road
in operation before winter. This
will provide an opportunity for all
whose funds are running low to OBJ
tain money to continue the develop
ment on their lands.
The Malad end of the line is in
a promising condition and funds are
being pledged. Malad is asked to
subscribe $4,000 which is cmpara-
atively small. considering the wealth
of that section. American Falls will
do better than that, Notwithstanding

MUCH PROPERTY
NOT PREVIOUSLY ASSESSED
Assessed Valuation Of the County
Will Go Up as Result of EN-
plOyment of New Methods.

Assessor Hull, who arrived Tues
day to begin his work in this local
lty. says he is finding considerable
property that has been escaping tax
alton. Before he began his outside
work he had plats made from the
records showing the ownership of
all the real estate in the county not
included in towns and villages, by
townships, and these he takes with
him. In township 9 south, range SO
east he found nearly 1000 acres of
land that has escaped taxation here
tofore, and if the present ratio is
maintained he expects to add more
than $100 ,000to the assessed vau-
alton of the county at the same
valuations as were used last year
Assessing on the basis of full cash
value Oneida county should show
about twelve million dollars. The
valuation last year was S4,125,OO0.
Mr.. Hull is much put out by the
belated decision of the state board
of equalization in the matter of fix
ing values, for the reason that the
work done by himself and deputies
for month or more past will have
to be gone over again.
The assessors appealed to the
governor to take a stand in this
matter during the state convention
in January, said Mr. Hull, but he
declined to do so, telling US to go
ahead and fix values and the state
board of equalization would "fol-
low suit This matter was put up
to him in a dozen different ways.

isfaction. l know this to be a fact,

ed out and analyzed. A large part
of this increase is due to the big
appropriations made for the main
tenance of the state institutions.
The large increase in bond issues
is more than accounted for by the
$750,000 issue for the completion
of the central section of the capitol
The. third item-continuinga ap-
propriations-is explained in detail
in the accompanying statement pre-
pared in the office of the state
auditor. 1t is explained that the ex
penditures for the period of 1911
II are estimated in some cases, as
it can not definitely be known at
this time what the totals will be,
but the assurance is given that the
estimates are conservative and well
within the limits.
The continuing appropriations are
those made by previous legislatures
and continuing in force for years.
The same act that makes the appro-
priation provides for the revenue
to meet it, The revenue raised
under each special act is, by the
same act, appropriated to the fund
for which it is used
A complete list of these appropria
tions follows:

In the opinion of the postal au-
thorities American Falls must be a
pretty live town. Two more mails

the hours the office is open. There
is reason to believe that another
mail will be added in the near fu-
ture, No. II, carrying mail directed
to Boise or west of that point. 1t

|Op COMMERCIAL
ORCHARD PLANTING
|,r;;eiies Selected Which Make
Best Growth Of Wood.
,.,owations Covering Three Years
,,dicate Varieties Best Adapted
For Commercial Orchards
Other Varieties Which
DO Not Thrive.

From observations made during
ba three past seasons in his 10
ere orchard, w. S. Alvord, the pio-
Doer orchardist of the American
Falls Carey tract, who lives near
Aberdeen, has reached conclusions
to the varieties of apples best
pdanted to this locality. He rea-
ons that the varieties which make
good sturdy growth will become
nod producers when they come into
hearing, and that those which do
not show a good growth are most
likely to prove Improbable. Mr.
Alvord has been growing fruit for
forty years in Iowa, Nebraska and
khe experience gained in those
btates, with their varying soils and
climates, suggested the wisdom of
experimenting somewhat before de-
Gliding upon the varieties to tie to
for a commercial orchard. With
that end in view he planted II va
|rieties, not more than two trees of
each except three or four standards.
In his ten acre tract which he ex-
poets within the next few years to
grow into an eighty acre commercial
orchard. In addition to the varie-
| ties which Mr.. Alvord hoped would
|prove adapted to this locality he
planted his favorites for home use,
realizing that he would not do bet
tier than to get an occasional crop
from them.
After carefully observing the
growth of the trees for three sea-
|sons having given to all good care
land cultivation, he recommends the
following varieties for extensive
planting:
Northwestern Greening
Mammoth Black Twig
Jonathan.
Add to these any varieties desir-
Jed for family use.
The following varieties, Mr.. AL
word says, do not show a thrifty
growth, and in his opinion will not
prove profitable:
Spitzenberg
Rambo
Northern Spy
Talman Sweet
York Imperial
Genetin.
Baldwin.
Grimes Golden and winesaps he
rates next to the Jonathan in point
OF desirability and believes they will
oe good producers and reasonably
reliable yielders. The White Win
Ter Pearmain will do fairly we'll and
ne rates the Wealthy as good. Any
variety of sour cherries he says will
be profitable.
