county will pay state taxes this
year to the amount of 29,317.67
/ and Adams county will pay $l2,-
077.13, total of $41, 394.S0 as
against $35, IA last year. If the
Hawley plan had not been carri-
ed out we would have paid the |
difference between $35, 144 and
'$12,077 or $23,067. In other
words we are paying $6,25O more
to the state than this same terri
tory did last year simply because
it looked like a smooth political
stunt to stand by the govern
or, and every taxpayer knows
that Washington county paid
more than its share last year. The
fact is our state taxes should have
been reduced to about $15, 900 to
put us on basis with the other
counties of the state, but our
democratic governor and his able
county assistants have increased
them to nearly double that
amount. When the matter was
presented to the state board the
committee from here was con-
fronted with the assertion by
Hawley that the matter should
have been settled at home with
the assessor and the commission
ers. Somewhat of a lemon to
hand to the men who have been
) his faithful followers and polit-
zeal sycophants. The question
was asked why Washington cOun-
ty came every year asking for a
d reduction, and the intimation fol-
is lowed that the assessors knew the
:. valuations and were honest in
: making then while the people
o were kicking without cause. 1t

STATISTICAL NOTES
ON SILVER PRODUCTION

In the history Of the silver industry
there have been three comparatively
recent periods of sudden uplift in the
productivity of the worlds mines.
These increases have been mainly the
result of discoveries in North America.
The opening of the Comstock lode con-
tributed greatly to the persistent ad-
vance in the worlds output of the
white metal which followed the Civil
war in the United States. Late in the
7O's the discovery of Leadville began
to produce its effect upon the supply,
and this source of silver, aided by the
discoveries at Aspen and Creole, en-
abled Colorado to increase the annual
production to the high figure which it
reached in 1898. 1t was at this time
that the increase in silver supply gave
to the United States the pretext for
legislation against the white metal as
a money standard and for releasing
that government support which had
previously held up the price.
Many western silver mines ceased
operation in 1893, as those who are
still young can remember, and it is a
circumstance worth noting that in the
period of IA years, from 1893 to 1905,
inclusive, the annual silver output of
the world varied within quite narrow
limits. The output of 1893 and that of
1906 were almost equal, or a little over
1885, ,000ozs., while the average of
the period was about 166, SOC, 900 ozs.
The latest period of sudden increase
in production is that which cores
ponds with the opening of the mines
of Cobalt. Since 1906 each year has
recorded a pronounced gain in output,
the total increase of the four years be-
ing about 81 500, 900 ozs., or about 81
per cent of the average yearly produc-
ton during the previous IA years. The
production Of 1910 was almost exactly
double that Of 1888. The gold output
in 1910 was four times that of 1888.
These figures are not presented to
hail forth an argument of any kind,
but merely to bring out an interesting
assortment of facts, revealed by a
perusal of the latest report of the di-
rector of the maintaining Science.

pigs IS PIGSo AND
EVIDENTLY ''EGGS IS EGGS

Are eggs laid in transit subject to
transportation t%ariffse This freight
problem, almost as perplexing as the
famous "pigs is pigs" controversy,
has been agitating the Santa Fe
freight and legal departments. 1t was
raised by a carload of lens shipped to
Los Angeles from Newton, Kansas.
With a calm disregard for their sur
roundings the hens continued to lay.
Trainmen made raids and lived high,
but the egg supply continued to accu-
mulate until there were three cases on
the arrival. 1t became necessary for
a conscientious official to report the
unusual and unprecedented carrying of
freight without a prospect of revenue,
and the traffic department got busy.
A charge was included in the freight
bill, but the consignee was wise and
refused to pay. The legal department
could find no way to force collection,
and finally ruled that the company
could not levy freight charges on a
natural increase en- route.

These two baby cats grew to be big

happen to come in alone, neither will
go near the food till mama "Skiddoo"
gets in. And if the old lady happens
to get in ahead of the children kitties,

One night about four years ago
when old Pearsall, the stalking night
Waterman, used to gum-shoe in gar
dian patrol over the roadways of Pal
lsade, he stopped in front of the Hol-
linger home and said he had present
for Mrs. Hollinger. The gift proved
to be a young kitten, light gray,
striped like tiger, with half-white
face, and regular cat eyes.
Mrs. Hollinger took the kitten and
named it "Skiddoo, name prevalent
everywhere in those days. "Skiddoo"
became a popular favorite at once and
was soon petted into a household
necessity.
Last summer a year ago "Skiddoo7
became the mother of some other
little kitties, and two of these were

GRANTWOOD FIRE.
Palisade Firemen Take Hand and

Lafayette avenue, Grantwood, was de-
stroyed by fire Thanksgiving morning,
between and o'clock The Pail
SADIE firemen responded promptly, and
by so doing no doubt saved an adj
joining house on the east
Mr.. Carlsberg was asleep on the
second floor, and was awakened by
nightmare which had seized him i'll
his sleep. He found his room filled
with smoke, and more pouring in
from his hall door, Hastily closing
the door, he quickly tied two sheets
together by the corners and, attaching
one end to the bed, he let himself out
of the window in his sleeping garb,
and never saved stitch of anything
to wear. The sheets parted under his
weight and Mr. Carlsberg fell heavily
to the ground, about twelve feet. He
was completely stunned, falling on
the entire side of his body The shock
was tremendous. When he revived
he went to the house next door, where
an alarm was raised.

across lots two blocks from the fire.
Both sets of nozzlemen-Messrs. L.
c. Anderson, w. F. Holt, Walter Bin
ner and Henry Jeltrup, for one, and
Arthur Brady, Garfield May, Bernie
Brady and George Prevail did good
work at handling the cold streams.
The water froze as it fell, and it was
an uncomfortable fire to fight As
sistant Foreman n A. Paul also aided
in the fight, as did other Palisadians.
There we're about twenty Palisade
firemen out, including two passive
members-George H. Frew and c. 7.
Logan.
After the fire was out the house
being Quilted completely, Palisade
avenue reel left its outfit on the
ground and returned for it later, it
being so nearly daylight when the
fight was over.
One of the noticeable things at this
fire was the long run the Palisade
avenue reel, of Palisade, had to go
to reach it. Had Columbia avenue
not been blocked by the Junction
walls, the run to the fire could have
been made, via Edgewood lane and
Anderson avenue, in much quicker

and George did play the game luckily
at that, for he took many chances in
gong down just when he did.
The New York newspapers had

a painful accident on November 6 last.
While playing at football, practicing
on the Logan lawn, young boy from
Grantwood got into a scrimmage with
Artie, and in the tangle the little
fellow came out with a broken collar
bone. He was sent home and told
that it was not serious, but New
York doctor came over and found out
the true state of affairs, whereupon
Master Artie was placed in a cast and
had his arm strapped to his side for
several weeks And the moral is:
Football is a leetle too strenuous for
big boys, let alone the little ones.
Artie is to be congratulated that his
injury is no worse.

Real Burglars of the Old School, Use
Dynamite, Open the Safe, and
Get Over $3.50.

On the morning of November 27,
about four o'clock, Assistant Post
master George f. Stabel, heard
sound like an explosion. He has a
fiat next door to the post Office. He
at once ran down after dressing hur-
redly, and saw a man running along
Columbia avenue towards the ferry.
Then he heard shots, three of them,
Followed by single shot. This last
one came from Uncle Billy Kehoe, the
night Waterman at the park, the first
three from the burglars. Then Mr..
Stabel thought of phoning, but in
stead he fired off his revolver twice,
which soon brought Officer Hartnett,
who was away over on Anderson ave
nue. Going in the direction of the
first shots, Mr. Stabel saw the post
office safe on the north side of the
trolley tracks, about 300 feet from the
store. He at once saw that it had
been blown open Hastily going
through it, he found that $50 of post
office money order cash had been
overlooked in the haste made by the
burglars to get away Uncle Billy
Kehoe heard the dynamite go off, and

it being dark, he could not tell much
about how they ran Still the alarm
being then raised, several people were

President Gary explained that the

Mayor Rushlight of Portland, was to
have been the principal speaker, but
delegated Mr. Slower In his stead.
Acting Chief Slower urged the neces-
sity in cities of special officers whose
province should be the care of chill

law and dwelt at length on the quail
fcations that must be possessed if
man is to be good policeman Tact,
he said was perhaps the most neces-
sary in the regulation of children, and
in appeasing the wrath of the chill
dren's parents, tact, diplomacy and
other qualities are required, he said.

1t is said that railroad commission
plan may be brought before the spe-
cial session of the legislature. 1t is a
good plan, indeed. 1t is also said that
the anti-saloon people will attempt to
seize the opportunity to make Idaho
prohibition state That, according
as one sees it, may also be good. But
the legislature, in it's extra session
should not try to do too many good
things. If Idaho is relieved of the
burden of her present tax law, the
legislature will have done it's part. On
no account should this be sacrificed
for anything else.
