large fruit firms have instructed
their agents not to delay or divert
shipments unnecessarily and have is

principal difficulty has arisen from
movements in the eastern states.
The Pacific Fruit Express, accord

the lot of 1000 only recently order

WILL GET MORE SALARY
Promotions and Increased Pay for
$4,000 Railway Mail Clerks.

Still another evidence of Repub.
l1can prosperity and President Taft's
sincerity in e%ndeavoring to benefit
the toiler was manifested when he
recommended to congress that the
clerks in the railway mail service be
classified and given an increase in
wages. There are 1900 clerks in
that branch of the governments serv-
ice, and the postal appropriations bill
signed by the president carried with II
the promotion with increased pay of
$4,000 men on Oct. l, 1912, and those
not promoted on that date will re-
celve more pay at the end of the cur.
rent fiscal year.
The new law provides for three
classes of railway postal lines with
their transfer and terminal offies, the
compensation ranging highest on the
lines where the work is heaviest. Be-
ginning with 5000 a year, all clerks
who render faithful and efficient serv-
Ice receive annual promotions of $500
until they reach the maximum of the
successive annual grades, after which
they may be promoted at intervals
for specially meritorious service until
their annual compensation reaches
$1,000 in the highest class. Chief
clerks in the railway mail service re-
ceive $4,000 a year.
More than $1,OO0,O0 a year will
be involved in these increases.

AN ADDRESS TO FARMERS
Contributed

(COnCrlDuteQ-
Bingham county farmers will have
only to examine their tax receipts for
the past few years to know what eff
feet cash valuation has had upon the
taxes. The average equalized value
of land in the county in 1910 was
1922 per acre and the tax levy $2.75
per 500. BY multiplying the value
by the rate, any schoolboy can tell
that the average tax per acre paid by
the farmer was 24A cents. In 1911
patented land was equalized at $31.-
sc per acre, and the levy fixed at 95
cents per 800. Governor Hawley at
one time pointed to this law levy as
proof of the benefits of his pet
scheme of cash valuation which he
forced upon the people, yet under it
the average tax per acre was a little
more than 3OA cents, or an increase
of a little than 24.S per cent.
By reason of the adoption of this pol
Icy, Bingham county farmers were
forced to pay on their land only $26-
900 less than Bingham and Bon
nveille both paid in 1910.
But the full effect of cash valuat-
ion will not become apparent until
the election this year, because
tax payers will not be given an OPP
.portunity to learn what their taxes
be until after the election is over
They will be SIS percent higher than
they were in 1911, however and 50
per cent higher than they were in
1910.

three years named, pay the following
taxes:

LOST RIVER PROJECT TO BE RE-
80. VIVED IN 1913.
(Pocatello Tribune.)

Just as soon as the court hands
down a decision in a pending case
against the Lost River irrigation en-
terprise in Custer, Blaine and Bing-
ham counties. the project will be re-
financed and completed with a rush
according to G.. b. HURT of Boise,
member of the Clinton-Hurtt firm of
financial agents and colonizers. Mr..
HURT came up from Boise yesterday
to meet two eastern men, whom he
will pilot to California, where his
company is engaged in the promotion
of an irrigation project involving
$4,000 acres. The fasteners were
M. M. Montgomery, a large fnancier
of Chicago, and Herbert Wells, head
of a big construction company. They
arrived from the east on the morning
train, and accompanied Mr.. HURT
west on the delayed limited last
night.
"The Lost River project is one of
the finest in the entire northwest"
said Mr.. HURT with enthusiasm.
also it has enjoyed the hardest luck
of any project in the world. The
Mackay dam muddle, the failure of
the Trowbridge MYERS company, the
trouble with the Corey Brothers con-
struction company, and the mixups
OF various sorts has held the project

will finance it again, this time, final
ly and successfully, just the moment
the court hands down a decision in
the case of the Corey Brothers, who
have brought suit to have their claim
against the company declared a prior
lien. This has been resisted by the
bondholders. The suit was submitted
to the court on September z and a de
cision is expected at any moment. I
confidently belive that next year
work will be resumed and the project
completed. 1t will mean big things
for the Lost River country, which is
one of the finest regions that ever
laid out of DOORS
The Clinton-Hurtt company's big
irrigation project at Waller, Montana
Is proving a huge success. Land
sales average nearly 1000 acres a

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23:-Be-
ginning with January LIST of next
year, the Hartman lines will as
sumo all bond premiums of employ
es in their service, according to an
announcement made at the offices
of the Southern Pacific company here
to-day.
In the past, it has been the GUS
tom to require all men handling mon
ey to put a security bond, and the
premium on it has been paid by the
employe, himself. After the first Of
the year this expense will be borne
by the railroad company.
On the Pacific System of the South
ern Pacific, alone there are about As
600 employees, and the new arrange
ment 1t is said will involve a heavy
expenditure annually.
This action is in line with the well
fore campaign which the Southern
Pacific and its allied lines are carry
ing on to better the conditions under
which it's employees are working.

This does not show the increase
in the high priced irrigated lands
