E. G. Isenberg, county assessor,
was in Richfield this week, to start
his work of assessing fer this year.
He will not make much change in
the comparative valuations, as be-

flom the valuations Of last year,
but since the special session Of the
legislature ordered that all property
be assessed at its full value, but
only 30 per cent of this taken as

Attention is called to the state
ment of the First State Bank, Rich

dex of the community---but it is q
gccd bank only where it is carried
on along right lines that make tbs
community good paramount. There
is no community in the state where
the local bank has been stronger
factor in the local development;
not one in ten where it has been
so good, as has been the case here
in Richfield. The amount of depos-
its tells something of the popular
regard for an institution. OF course
no cne keeps idle money in any
bank merely to please the banker,
or fer community regard but when
practically every dollar in com
munity finds its way into the bank
for convenience and safe keeping,
it can be classed as a good bank
An estimate will show that there
is almost $1,000 deposited in the

Of the counties have already Sc

1t must be conceded, however,
that Roosevelt seems to have the
best of it. While the claims put

other way---the organization has had
an average of about one hard jolt

no and Latah counties, where they
will not have vote They claimed
Oneida, where it is likely to be
about equally divided They made
claim to Fremont, where both are
likely to fare almost equally well
on divided vote. They have even
claimed Canyon, which has not yet
held primaries, but where only a
miracle can give the president a
single delegate. 1t looks good for
Roosevelt to control the convention

Should California, which holds pri-
