Meridian Farmers Organize

The agitation over an alleged
over valuation OF farm lands in
Meridian precinct resulted in a
mass meeting being called
Wednesday afternoon in the city
hall in Meridian. A. r. Stalker
was selected as chairman and E.
q Pfaffie secretary. There was an
earnest protest made by I'll. f.
Hancock, E. Crosse, j. I. McFar-
and Geo. Marcellus, FL. T. Bray.
Geo. Deck, Jno. Berry, j. A.
Watts, r. E. Hoyne, Charles
Howry, J. A. Fenton, Mr..
Smith, Fl. B, Powers. D. W.
McFadden, J. ]. Caldwell, and
others, against the assessed val
nation Of farm lands, which are
from FIVE to ten times the amount
of last years valuation.
Each property owner attached
his signature to a power of at
torney and formal protest to the
county commissioners, authoriz-
ing E. G. Pfaffie to act as repre-
sentative of the farmers of the
community in getting the matter
before the board. They ask for
an equalization with other land
and fiat reduction Of fifty per
cent in the valuation. The pro-
test includes this statement:
"To make Misrepresentation to
your honorable body that the
amount at which the said property
is assessed is excessive and above
its cash value, according to the
assessments made in adjoining
Counties.
That property of the same
character and value in adjoining
counties is assessed at a much
lower valuation than the property
in Ada County. That there are
certain fixed levies that can not
legally be reduced, which will re-
suit in an accumulation of funds
far beyond the requirements. that
the said assessment is excessive
and unjust"
All the farmers who have not
signed up should attend to the
matter at once. Mr.. Pfafie states
that he will try and arrange a
meeting with the county commits
sioners Saturday, when he will as
attorney for the land owners, take
up each piece of property sep
erately and ask for reduction in
the assessment. 1t was decided
at the meeting that one person,
representing all the farmers, could
do more than if all would congre-
gate at the court house.
Similar meetings are being
held in other precincts in the
county and the demand is general
for a reduction. 1t is understood
that where no protest is made by
afarmer, his assessment will stand
as the county board have no
authority to lower the assessment
without such a request.

Eastern Crops Hurt

Washington, July lO.-"Hot
dry weather. drought-has play
ed something akin to havoc with
the crop conditions during the
last month";" was the statement
made today by Professor N. c.
Murray, acting chief of the crop
reporting board of the department
of agriculture, after the announce
ment of the July report on grain
and produce.
"The report" said Murray.
"retlects the rather serious effects
of the drought in June, most of
the important crops showing a
condition which is below last year
and below recent average yields.
"Feedstutf, oats and hay, seem
to have been hardest hit. Less
than two-thirds of a normal crop
of hay is expected and the oats
crop probably will be- more than
.25 per cent less than the average
for the last five years.
"The corn acreage is the largest
ever recorded, but the condition
of the crop is about 7 per cent be-
low the average. That indicates a
porduction of approximately 5
per cent less than last years rec
ord crop, but nearly 5 per cent
more than the average production
in the last five years. The con-
dition of the corn crop on July l.,
however, was critical.
"The potato crop promises to be
unusually short"
The common house fly is a car
rier of typhoid fever. This is the
season to get in the best work to-.
ward its determination. Every
female will soon become theances-
tor of several million individuals
aud by killing the ancestors. the
descendants will never appear.
Screen the doors and windows
and shut them out. Kill every
individual unfortunate enough to
get inside. The war cry is-"No
flies in America in the Next Gen
Grafton"

A FREIGHT REVOLUTION
Wonderful Speed in Moving
Choice Merchandise.

consignment Of silk valued at $4,000
has just arrived at New York from a
Chinese port. 1t was received at its des-
tination seventeen days after the steamer
which carried IL over the first part Of the
route left her dock on the other side of the
Pacific.
few years ago seventeen days would
have been good time for the trip across
the United States. For some classes OF
freight 1t is good time now The perfec-
ton OF what is known as the preference
freight service has made rapid move
ments Of this kind possible. Instead Of
tying up $4,000 for two months as would
have been necessary formerly, the importer
was able to put his capital into action after
two weeks and a half Think what this
means TO the importer Think how much
more capital is freed for investment by
this rapid freight service! Think what Il
means to the consumer, who now pays the
interest on the capital for two weeks and
a half instead of two months
Silks may not be a necessity, and saving
on them may aid those who can most
