SIR WALTER SCOTS DOGS
Famous Author Was Especially Fond
Of These and His Other Pets
at Abbotsford.

One Of my pleasant recollections is
that Of seeing Sir Walter Scott out on
a stroll with his dogs; the scene be-
ing In the neighborhood of Abbots-
ford. in the summer OF 1924. while as
yet the gloom OF misfortune had not
clouded the mind OF the great man.
There he was limping gaily along with
his pet companions amid the rural
scenes which he had tolled to secure
and loved 30 dearly.
SCOTS fondness for animals has
perhaps never been sufficiently
acknowledged. II was with him a
kind of second nature. and appears to
have been implanted when as child
he was sent on visit to the house Of
his grandfather, Robert Scott. at San
dyknowe, in the neighborhood Of Dry
burgh. Here, amid hocks OF sheep and
lambs, talked to and fondled by shep
herds and eve mixers, and revealing
with collies, he was impressed with
degree Of affectionate feeling for AMI
mails which lasted through life. At a
subsequent visit to Sandyknowe, when
hiss grandfather had passed away, and
the farm operations were administer
cd by Uncle Thomas" he was pro
vided with Shetland pony to ride
upon. The pony was little larger
than many Newfoundland dog. IT
walked freely into the house and was
regularly fed from the boys hand. He
soon learned to ride the little pony
we'll. and often alarmed Aunt Jenny
by cantering over the rough places In
the neighborhood. Such were the be-
ginnings Of SCOTS intercourse with
animals. Growing up. there was some
thing extraordinary In his attachment
to his dogs, his horses, his ponies and
his cats: all Of which we're treated by
him. each in It's own sphere, as agree
able companions. and which were at
tached to him In turn.-W Cham

What is "Real Valuation"

What is real" valuation? A hberall
reward for the correct answer will
be given by the Idaho assessors.
Governor Hawley orders all assess
ments made on real valuation.
Obviously the price that one pays
for a given property is never its per
manent value. The element of spec
ulation must not enter into consid-
GRAFTON.
Who can say what this, that or
the other piece of property lis really
worth. The owner naturally sees a
figure that the public considers as
tax lodging pure and simple.
Can the county assessor whose
duties confine him strictly to his of
flee at the court house, lntelligently
place a value ON the big run of prop
critics i'm the various communities?
This duty is delegated to the dep
uty assessor He may say that the
real value is the price the property
would bring at sheriff's sale
But who knows that figure until
the sheriff calls third and last eall
The spectacle of a governor of the
great state of Idaho banging his
desk and shouting by the Eternal.
these assessors will assess property
at dts real valuation"
The real valuation as the editor
sees 1T, should be figured from the
dividends that the property earns.
Thus, 300 per cent express com
pany melon would be easy to figure
out. A telephone company pays 7
per cent dividends ON the investment
of such and such an amount A
building rents for 500 a month and
ats standard RAJ of interest minus
natural expenses, means known
value. And, coming closer to home,
the dividends from the newspapers
should fix its value for assessment,
This would render most Idaho news
papers exempt.

A representa- tive OF one OF OuI

a day here last week to get data for
a write-up for Mountain Home, This
representative called at the New
Time office and i'm conversation with
Talbot was told not mention the Ell
more Irrigation company in his white
up, stating that he had just about
killed off the company and If left
alone would have them starved out in
a short thine. Talbot stated: If you
mention the Elmore Irrigation COM
pany i'm your write-up ! will write
another refuting every word you say
If you will go to the business men
of the town and Inquire you will find
that they are with me i'm this move
TO man. The representative called
ON a number of the most prominent
business men and found that not one
was with Talbot i'm this move to- kill
off the Elmore Irrigation company
This conversation between Talbot and
the representative was told to- sew
eral men around town and we do
mot believe the representative would
give out the statement We're lit not
true. Again we say to the BUSINESS
mem of Mountain Home, remember this
