DUTIES OF BOARDS
OF EQUALIZATION

As there will no doubt be quite a
number of taxpayers who will wish
to appear before the board of eqnali-
zation ON the 10th of July, we give
below three sections of the Revised
Codes relative to the duties of boards
of equalizations and the manner in
which reductions In assessments can
be made.
BY section 1894 1t will be seen that
the board has no authority to change
the valuation on any property, unless
the owner thereof makes application
for change before the board In the
proper manner. The law Is as fol-
Sec. 1892. The board of county
commissioners of each county within
the state shall meet on the second
Monday in July of each year to ex-
anime the assessment roll, and shall
equalize the assessment of property
Of the county and of any city, town,
village and independent school dis
trict authorized by law to collect rev.
enue as in this chapter provided. for
taxation within their respective
counties.
Sec. 1894. No reduction must be
made in the valuation of property
unless the party affected thereby, or
his agent, makes and files with the
board written application therefor
certified by his oath, showing tile
facts upon which 1t il claimed such
reduction should be made.
, Sec. 1895. Before the board grants
the application or makes any reduc-
tiOn applied for, it must first examine
on oath, the person or agent making
the application touching the value of
the property of such person. No re-
duetiOn must be made unless such
person or the agent making the APP
plieation attends and answers all
questions pertinent to ihe Inquiry.

the last two innings.
The score at the close of the
afternoons slaughter looked some
thing like 10 to I in favor of the
visitors.
After handing over go per cent of
the receipts of both games to Green
River and paying the expenses of
four Pocatello players, the games
still nettedfhe home team about $50.
The Green River boys spoke well
of the city and the manner in which
they were entertained. They were
shown about the city in autos and
Sunday evening Manager Marcroft
of the Theatre entertained them for
an hour with moving pictures.
They left for home Sunday night in
special car attached to No. 10.
The next attraction for the base
ball "bugs" will be series of three
games between "Sneddon's Players"
and the McCammon independents,
on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
July 2, 8 and 4. The two teams
are pretty evenly matched and three
really interesting games may be ex-
pected.
NOTES
Green River has an all profession
al team of players and they are the
heaviest hitting aggregation IN this
part of the country.
Young, Mallot aud CASTOR played
stellar ball for Green River, while
Bistline, Bresee, Reese and Hunger,
ford received many compliments on
their work in both games.
Schoper had an "off day" Sunday
and as is always the case when a
good player falls down, he made hi
errors just at the wrong time.
The attendance at the last -four
games has been very gratifying tc
the local management.
After defeat is the time to show
your loyalty to the home team, botl

| Members of the Masonic order in
this city and their families, to the
number of about 80, enjoyed most
Idelightful outing last Monday on
Pine Creek, about five miles from
Cokeville. Arriving at Cokeville ut
3 a. M. the crowd was conveyed to
the picnic grounds in autos and wag-
ons, arranged for the occasion by the
Masons of that lively little burg, and
more delightful place to hold a
picnic does not exist in this section
than the place selected at the mouth
of Pine Creek canyon There amid
the stately pines and quakenasps the
Montpelierites and u goodly number
from Cokeville found all sorts of
amusement from the moment they
arrived until the approach of dusk.

taste. The women folks had all heard
of Charlie Hager's famous "mulligan

dish fit for kings.
Twenty gallons of Fred Hansen's
delicious ice cream and lemonade
were served as dessert, .-and for once
in their lives everybody, especially
the children, had their fill of ice
cream.
During the afternoon the picnicers
enjoyed themselves in various ways
some played cards, some strolled
the woods, some found solid comfort
| in hammocks and others amused
themselves in different ways.
The first and most exciting event
after dinner was the ball game be-
