ASSESSORS At BOISE
Called by Governor to Discuss
New Law.
PROBLEM OF EXEMPTIONS
Some Difference of Opinion On 4o
Per Cent Phase.

In response to call by Governor
Hawley, the county assessors oi
Idaho assembled at Boise last
week to decide upon best methods
of assessing property under the
new revenue law.
The new taxation law was gone
over section by section, the differ
ent assessors discussing among
themselves each section as it was
read, asking questions of each
other, and exchanging their views
on the intent of the law. Many of
the officials present took occasion
to bring up questions that might
arise in their own counties in re-
gard to the operation Of the new
measure, and to ask advice from
the rest as to how they should en-
force the law under certain circum-
stances.
The subject of exemptions was
one that took up considerable of
the time. Lodge exemptions,
those of widows, orphans and old
soldiers, and the general exemp-
tion of $2oo on improvements be-
longing to families, the total value
of whose Improvements does not
exceed $1,000 assessed valuation,
were gone over in detail, and a
number OF points brought out.
There was tendency show 4 on
the part of some of the assessors
to look on the $2oo exemption law
with disfavor, but Byron S. Defen-
bach, assessor for Bonner county,
i rallied to its defense with a talk
that seemed to change the views
! of good many of those present.
The exemption feature of the
new law is condensed into three
lines, granting the exemption on
improvements on land net to ex-
ceed the amount OF 5000 in assessed
valuation to any one family, when
the assessed value of their improve
ments does not exceed $1,000"
There was some difference oi
opinion among the assessors as to
the exact meaning of the law in
connection with the 40 per cent oi
cash value assessment basis. Al
ter some discussion an interpreta-
ton was practically decided on
! Taking as concrete example a
house owned by family, the house
valued at $4,000, the assessors
thought that the house would be
carried on the rolls at $500 worth
of improvements, that being &c
per cent Of its cash value, and tina,
the S2oo exemption would be taken
from that, the house being assessed
at 5000 and the lot on which il
stands assessed separately.
1t was decided that If any mar
owns in his own name improve
ments on property within tht
state reaching total valuation o
$4,000, he is not entitled to thu
exemption, but that any corpora
ton stock he may own shall no
count in the computing of his i'm
provement valuation. A few O
the assessors thought that unde
the 40 per cent plan the intent o
the law was to make the exemption
amount to $500 instead of 5000
, but it is not believed that any o
them will use that plan in thei
work.

TIMBER AND STONE

Land that is heavily timbered Is
not necessarily excluded from home
stead entry. 1t may be homesteaded,
providing it Is of such a character as
would be suitable fer agricultural use
II the timber was r. rmpyed. Other
wise, heavily timbercd land is not
subject to the homestead laws.

FINAL PROOF

The provisions Uf Section of the
act of March 3, 1891, have TO refer
ence to proceedings by the United
States, or its officers or agents, in
respect to entries therein specified,
and therefore do not affect the con-
duct or action Of the land department
10 taking up and disposinR OF final
proof OF entryman after the lapse Of
two years mentioned ia the act.
When communication proof is reject
ed by the Commissioner upon only
one ground--such as lack of cultiva-
tion-the case will not necessarily be
closed, hut the entry may be held
intact, snbjecL to future compliance
Of law, upon proper showing.
In Offering Communication proof, 1t
must be shown that the residence
was substantially continuous. II IN
making such proof, an entryman
admits his absence from the land for
short periods, the showing thereupon
becomes so indefinite that IT cannot
with certainty be detcrmin d that
the entryman has lived continuously
upon the land for the requisite period
| OF time.
| Communication proof cannot be ac-
cepted when IL fails to show that the
required residence and cultivation
continued to the date on which appli-
cation for notice OF intention to make
proof was fled. Citing section 3,

More Straw Votes.

The Chicago Record Herald
republican, has just completed
a straw vote and in summarizing
the result says that if the cleo
ton were held now Wilson woulG
get a big majority of the electo
raj votes. The Record Herald
said in part:
THE National political can
vass, cond ucted by private bal
lot, made by the Record Herald
shows that, with election day five
weeks away, the race at present
lies between Wilson and Roose'
Welt, with Taft running third.
1.-THE magnitude of the unde
cided vote is just now one OF the
most pronounced phenomena OF
the campaign. Wherever the
canvassers work its proportions
are disclosed.
THE canvass shows Wilson is
holding the seventeen states car,
ried in 1908 by BRYAN, while IN
addition he is the favorite candi-
date in states that until this year
have been republican strong
holds.
'In the home states of al
three candidates Wilson is lead
ing. In Ohio, surface indica-
tons and the logic in the situa-
ton favor Wilson. In New York.
Roosevelt's home state, Wilson is
in the lead, and unless there is a
change in sentiment in the next
five weeks the democratic candi-
date will win the forty-fve cleo
toral votes of the Empire state.
New Jersey, of which Wilson is
governor, will go democratic, un-
less all the prophets prove fail
ureS.
SIN rock-ribbed New England,
the canvass places Wilson in the
lead. Maine and Rhode Island
would go to Wilson if the election
were held today. Massachusetts
is tending toward Wilson, and so
are Vermont and Connecticut.
In all this territory the contest
now is between Wilson and
Roosevelt, in New Hampshire at
the present time it lies between
Taft and Wilson.
In the Western States Roose-
welt is displaying great strength.
The question of final supremacy
depends on how the voters who
are now non-commital decide to
vote.
"Illinois, for instance, which is
considered a pivotal state. is the
scene of a battle between Roose-
welt and Wilson. in which the
Bull Moose has the better of it in
all the polls made to date in the
Record Herald's canvass, but
where, on the other hand, the
DETECTION of republicans to Will
son appears by the straw ballots
to be somewhat larger than the
movement of democrats to Roose-
welt.
Michigan is now a Roosevelt
state. Wisconsin is the scene of g
neck-and-neck race between Will
son and Taft, with Wilson appar-
emily losing ground and Taft
gaining it.

to the fact that Boss Drummond

inmates claimed was dead, when
they attempted to wake him.

extinct when he arrived, he at once
reported the fact to the coroner who
summoned jury of inquest. The
jury sitting on the case was unable
to get any evidence to show the cause
of death, but they have not yet made
up their verdict.
The man had been on duty during
the previous day and at night had
gone to his lodging house where a
beer-drinking was in progress. He
went away later in the night, and the

GENERAL MENA Will
Be TAKEN To
PANAMA
SURRENDER OF LEADER OF REV
oLUTIoN INDICATES END OF
NlCARAGUAN WAR.

Washington, Sept. 26.-That Gen
eral Mena, leader of the Nicaraguan
revolutionists, who, with seven hun
dred followers surrendered to Rear
Admiral Southerland Tuesday mid
night, will be sent to Panama under
a guard of American marines, was re-
ported by American Minister Wietzel
to the State Department today. 1t is
believed here that General Mena sur
rendered Granada and his followers
to the admiral for fear of summary
action at the hands of Nicaraguah fed
erals. Granada is now under control
of Americans. Conditions are report
ed extreme and the inhabitants face
a famine as a consequence of long
isolation. Red Cross provisions have
been distributed. The surrender of
General Mena is taken as an indication
of the collapse of the revolution. His
removal to Panama probably means
exile. It is not thought General Zela-
don will longer hold out.

less for crimes other than reference t

In the hearing of the injunction suit
of the M. c. R. r. Co. VS.. Hattiesburg
Traction Company before Special
Judge Arnold, begun Tuesday morn
ing, the entire day yesterday was
taken up in the continued taking of
oral testimony and the argument of
counsel.
H. s. Stevens of counsel for the
Traction Company, opened the argu-
ment as soon as the railroad company
completed the introduction of its tes-
timony. His speech consumed about
two and ,one-half hours. Judge JEFF
Truly, general counsel of the M. c..
R. R. followed Mr.. Stevens and s. E..
Travis closed for the defendant COM
pany. The case was closed after nine
o'clock last night and was taken under
advisement by Judge Arnold who
promised a decision by tomorrow
(Friday) morning. This suit has at
tracted much public interest and
throughout the hearing there we're a
number of people in constant atten
dance upon the trial.
The case has been ably contested by
both sides, and it seemed to have mar
rowed down to the contention on the
part of the railroad company that the
Traction company had trespassed up
on 1t, when 1t tore up its tracks ant
put in crossing without purchase
agreement or resort to eminent do
main proceedings, as they claim is re
quired by chapter 43 of the code o
1906. This contention was handled
