Shrinkage of Grains
Topic at Conference

CHICAGO. Ill, Jan. 1S.-Leading grain
men of several States met in conference
here today with representatives Of
the railroads to discuss the grain
shrinkage problem. The railroads have
made a practice of deducting one
eighth of per cent for wheat shrink
age and one-fourth of l per cent on
coarse grain shrinkaEe. The grain me-!
contend that the roads have no right
to make such deduction unless they
prove that there Is a natural shrink
age of grain.

MILLION MARK PASSED BY
LEVY FOR STATE PURPOSES
Shoshone and Owyhee, the Two Big Mining Counties
Only Ones Paying Less This Year
Than Heretofore.

Boise Statesman: The total
levy this year is big one, being
$l ,O34 1854. 30, as against 1915, 6,901-
62, the state thus, for the first
time in its history passing beyond
the million dollar limit, this be-
ing the first time that more than
81 100000 has been demanded
from the people in direct taxes.
OF this increase the general
levy jumps from 100000 last
year to $4,000 this year. The
general interest and sinking fund
however. is decreased. This is
the fund which is created for the
purpose of paying interest on the
bonds of the state, except the
new capitol building bonds, and
for the purpose of paying those
bonds when due. In spite of the
fact that the interest demands
will be greater because the bond
ed debt is greater, this fund has
been cut down. That means that
there will be much less money for
redemption of bonds this year
than there was last year. This
year this levy calls for $197 ,SS0-
"A while last year it called for
$254, ,112,l55. The live stock sani
tary fund has increased from
$14, ,582.90 last year to $22, 1926. AZ
this year, and the predatory ami
NAL fund las increased from $40,
269.5S a year ago to $22, 2,996.89
this year. The public buildings
tax has increased from $31, ,764
year ago to $65, ,960.25 this year,
and at that it leaves practically
no margin to go on. The in.
crease is caused by the big issue
of bonds for the capitol building,
the interest upon which is paid
from this fund.
How the taxes are apportiOned
to the various counties is shown
in the accompanying table which
shows the tax levied against each
county last year and the total lev
led against each this year, as fol-
lows:

$1100 ATTORNEY FEE.

Among the interesting civil
cases tried in the district court
last week, was that of Casady VS..
Scott, in which Attorney w. H.
Cassidy sued Warren Scott for an
attorneys fee, ON an oral con-
tract, which the plaintiff claim
ed entitled him to one half the
amount which he should secure
for the defendant from the Mrs.
Scott estate. This the defendant
denied, but the jury found in fav
or of Mr.. Casady in the sum of
81 100. The defendant having
transferred his holdings to the
state of Illinois, and it being
claimed this was done with the
purpose of preventing the collec-
tion of the attorneys fee, he was
arrested on charge of attempt
ing to defraud in technical
manner, and the matter was
afterwards adjusted to the salts
faction of the claim. Wallace n.
Scales and A. S. Hardy were at
torneys for the defense and Z. M
Griffith and w. H. Casady for
the plaintiff.

Two Counties Pay Less.

Custer county remains the low
est tax paying county of the
state, but even that county shows
increased taxes to pay. 1t is
worthy of note that the only two
counties in the state which will
have a smaller tax bill to pay the
state this year than they had to
pay last year, are the only two
counties in the state that have
mines earning net profits upon
which taxes are paid.
Shoshone county, the one hav-
ing practically all the profit pay
ing mines of the state, will have
to pay taxes to the amount of
$51 ,975.01, while last year it was
taxed to the amount of $54, 1877 .62
This is a reduction of nearly
$4,000 in actual tax payment to
the state in spite of the ia ct that
the total increase of taxes in the
state is $1l8,062.68. Owyhee
county this year is taxed $20,221-
"A, as against $21, ,014.83 last
year.

the city of Grangeville and many
excellent farm and harvesting

the great fields of standing grain
and numerous combines at work
in the same. The view of Grange
vile is taken from the top of the
court house sweeping the town in
a circle, and is the finest picture
of our little city ever taken. Mr..

the business.

PIONEER MERCHANT
PASSES ON.

The neurological history of
Idaho county for the past few
weeks shows a startling mortal
ity among the fast diminishing
ranks of the pioneers. In the
last days of June George RE
bold died at the home of Frank
Smith on the South Fork of the
Salmon river, near Warren, and
within a few days his nephew,
Jacob Riebold, died at his Clear
water home, to be speedily follow
ed by the death of the venerable
Mrs. Isabelle Robie. On August
8 Henry Kribs departed this life.
In the first days of September
Mrs. Nettie Hanson, (nee Fem ,
passed away, and on September
the community was again shock.
ed by the sudden death of Mrs.
Ella Evans, (nee Jones). On Sat
urday, September 9, the news
was flashed from Portland of
the sudden death of the well
known pioneer merchant, Aaron
Freidenrich, of heart disease.
- Less than a month since Mr..
and Mrs. Freidenrich were in
Grangeville visiting friends and
looking the picture of good
health. Mr.. Freidenrich had
been subject to heart trouble for
some time, and had been ailing
a few days prior to his death,
but fatal outcome was unlocked
for.

date at his home in Portland, of

dreadful and to be feared. Rath-
er should we regard it as "a maid
en- from heaven plotting us to a
peaceful anchorage on the shores
of eternity. There is nothing
dreadful in entering the door
which all must pass and which
leads from darkness to light. 1t
is wrong to sit in dread and bind
our brain with the ignorant and
superstitious fear of death. The
truest and best and bravest phi
bosophy of life is so to live that
we are prepared to meet the end,
come when and where and how
it will. Death has it's own conso-
lations. Ecclesiastes taught that
"a good name is better than prec
ious ointment, and the day of
death than the dey of one s
birth Lord Bacon said: Death
hath this also, that it openeth
the gate to good fame and extin-
guisheth envy" Death is the
end of care and opens the gate
to better and truer life in the
world to come. The just and up
right man fears it net.
Aaron Freidenrich was born
in Urspringen, Bavaria, Feb. "a,
1850. AT the age of 16 he went
to Warren, then florishing
mining camp in this county, and
was associated with Joseph Alex
ander in the mercantile business.
Here he resided until his remov-
al to Grangeville in 1879, then a
mere hamlet, where he opened
the store of Observation-Disclosures
rich in the old Grange hall, and
in the fulness of time built up
an establishment that has become
"a credit to the city and state and
an enduring monument to his
ability as merchant prince. Mr..
Freidenrich conducted this grow
ing business until the great fire
of Sept. IA, 1905, when it was in
corpOrated under its present
name of Alexander-Frei
Co., Limited, with Mr.. Freiden-
rich as one of the principal stock
holders, and then he retired from
its active management and re-
moved to Portland, making an
nual visits to Grangeville and
taking life easily.
AS a business man Mr.. Freid-
enrich was always progressive,
liberal and far-sighted. Every
matter tending to promote the
upbuilding of this community,
with Grangeville as its CONNER
cial center, had his unvarying
support. Wagon roads, telephon-
es, churches, schools, railroads,
and all civic improvements found
in him a warm adherent and ad-
vocate. Very much of the growth
of Grangeville is founded upon
the ever-liberal subscriptions do
mated to public enterprises by
Mr.. Freidenrich. He was always
man of unfailing cheerfulness,
who never wrOnged or spoke i'll
of anyone, of good habits and
generosity, the kindest of hus-
bands and fathers, and what he
was to his colleagues and assoc
iates was attested by the univer-
sal closing of the business estab-
lishments of the city during the
funeral hour. Aaron Freidenrich,
