1t is within the discretion of the Com
missioner of the General Land Office to
refuse to entertain contest when the
entry in question is under investigation
by the Government through its special
agents, and such action of the Com
missioner is not denial OF a statutory
right.
In the exercise of such discretion, he
may accept or refuse the offer of any
one to aid il the prosecution of the pro
ceedings against an entry that has been
commenced by the Government. Cit
ing Milroy vs.. Jones (36 L. d. 43S-
440.)
That rule appears with greater force
when no preference right Of entry can
be acquired under such contest and
when, in consequence thereof, no legal
right is denied by refusing to allow the
application.

This is an era of advanced expert
ments in the methods of treating ore
for better savings at less cost. In our
own community such experiments ana
Investigations are going on through
different processes, all of which point to
a solution of the profitable treatment
of the low grade ores as well NJ the
higher grades. The Hudson mill has
been prs-eminently successful with
their practical experiments. The Nc
Kelvey process has been demonstrated
in their Chicago mill as success in
Neffecting large Swings and 1t will be
demonstrated here as soon as all the
machinery for reducing the ore to =
pulp has been SO adjusted az to supply
the necessary amount of -four pulp to
the amalgamator. Even crude tests
here have shown the practicability Of
the process Then there is the old
Bonieta that is having machinery and
apparatus installed that will result
in a greatly increased saving. Those
who are behind the remodelling of the
mill have made long, persistent and
patient investigation of the very best
appliances for treating ores. In ad-
dition to these A. w. Dowd has been
placing an electrieal-chemical process
in the indicator mill up Chicago creek
for the treatment of the ores Of the 2.
T. mine on which he has bond and
lease, There is a good percentage Of
copper in the workings of the P. I.
mine and the process that is being in
troduced will effect saving of this in
very large degree as well az the saw
ings of gold and silver. While small
tests are now being made, it is expect
ed that during the coming week the
mill will be running to its full capacity
Mr.. Dowd has been persistent in his
mining operations and has pinned his
faith in this section. If his expert
nents in treating ores under the pro-
\ cess that he is installing are CONNER
>cial success, and it has all the appear
1hncs of such, it will result in great
advantage 20 this camp. Out of the
multiplicity of these new processes
there will be some that will accompls h
the desired results.

Full Cash
Valuation.
CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DISSATIS.
FACTION IN MANY IDAHO Towns.

Gov. Hawley's New plan of
assessment is making no small.
amount of trouble in many Coun-
ties and Cities of the State.
There seems to be a general be-
lief that the principle is feasible
if all property in the State was
placed at an equal valuation.
In some Counties however assess
ors differ in their views or Judge
ments in the true value OF things
and an inequality is the result.
There still would be no material
difference to the County as \
whole were it not that the rate
set by the State makes the matter
unjust and unfair. For instance
if the Lincoln County assesses a
farm at 10000, which is worth
Just the same as a farm of the
same size in Cassia Co. and it is
valued at 100000 the State would
draw one third more from this
County than the former, vet at
the same time the Commissioners
could equalize the rate within the
County. so no injustice would re-
suit, whereas the State would be
the gamer at our expense.
No doubt the same inequality
has prevailed In the past as that
lately brought to our attention
by this move and it may result
in the State Board disqualification
beng compelled to carefully ad
Just these differences in valuation
There seems to be no obviou.
reason why this body OF men can
not at least adjust the value o
farm and city property, as a sch
udule tor certain size cities ouRhr
to regulate the price of Real Est
ate which is always assessed by
the acre or lot and all live stocl
should be the same according tc
kind, no matter where located
and these differences would b,
unnoticeable, and in that event
the State would probably benefit
by the change.

only 5 persons out of each of
Cassia County's growing towns
would make special effort to do
something, at least 70 to 100
species would be exhibited.
1t is only a matter of demon
strating what we have done and
are now doing and the results
are obvious. We have the Coun-
try, the climate the land and the
water, and if we will only let
those on the outside know what
we have they will do the rest.

1t is true that Capitalists hold
their breath in horror when the
snug sum OF from 2.1O to 2.4O 10
quoted as State and County Tax
and at least double that amount
in incorporated villages and cities
OF course they do not understand
that oar valuation has been from
25 to 40 per cent OF the real value
and in some instances a lower
percentage than % per cent has
been taken as an assessment.
To the investor it presents a
bettor front with full valua ton
and low rate than otherwise
and a comparison i'll property is
more easily made, but these diff
erences must be adjusted before
harmony will prevail.
1t is not uncommon in this day

es or innovations, but as people
we ought to stand by the Cover

we can and when impossible to

spectacle in their entirely bear
ing in mind that he is not perfect
and is liable to mistakes. 1t is
credible to note that the people
of Cassia County have made nc
public demonstration over the
matter. Evidently they feel to
take the same course and try the
plan once and if any injustice has
been done them they are resting
assured that other than unsav-
ory means can be employed to
adjust the matter.

Planning for Idaho
State Fair.
MUCH EFFORT is BEING MADE.
OyHHR STATES AND CANADA
APPLY FOR SPACE

Already the Members of the
Idaho State Fair Association are
making strong efforts for bigg-
er and Better Fair than ever.
Owing to the heavy crops being
raised this year the Agricultural
Division will be well represented.
This will do much to advertise
our resources in way unequaled
before.
Much interest is being mani
tested by our neIg ghbouring States
and Canada by way Of securing
space for elaborate displays of|
the products Of their respective
sections.
This is day ofclose study and
careful inspection of the things
produced by all countries and
people who are alive to the move
ment OF building up their respect
i've territories are convinced ofthe
value and power of good advert
ising and display.
We too should be awake to this
powerful means of representa-
ion and do justice to the oppor-
tunity afforded us to become
known in the world. No State
of the Union can offer better
things than IdalfB. We are an
Empire in embryo, and while it
is our duty to encourage every
thing that makes a better people
and better Country wherever
we go, yet the invasion of our
neighbors should not be passed
up without showing up some
thing better and thus lend encour-
agement to all things good by
leading in that which excells.
There will be Miniature Farm
on the Fair Grounds, which will
have the different kind Of soils
represented there, producing the
several feeds and plants most
advantageously. Irrigation will
also be handled on a small scale
showing the best kinds of Weirs,
Gates, Concrete Fumes, etc,
used in watering the ground.
