Travels Far to
Wed.

That the wonderful develop
ment now going on in the west
and particularly in Idaho is not
confined to uniting the thirsty
water with the parched desert is
evidenced by the fact that very
agreeable unions are being brou-
ght about that otherwise might
never have been brought to light.
On December 18th next at
Twin Falls. Ida, Miss Cordelia
Covert. who is now visiting with
DR.. Mcintyre at Marion, and Mr..

to be married on the date named
Miss Covert was native OF
Pittsburg, Pa. before coming here
and Mr.. Witt came from Ohio.
Neither had seen the other before
but upon meeting in far off Idaho
it didn't take halt as long a time
to make a match as it does to
grow a potato crop. Both are
highly respected young people
and their marriage will be pleas
ing TO many and a surprise as well.
1t was a long way to travel to

Maj. Fred r.
Reed to become
immigration
Commissioner.
WILL ENTER UPON HIS DUTIES IN
JANUARY.

Maj. Fred r. Reed who has
been one OF Idano's boosters for
several years is rendered the ap-
pointment of immigration Com
missioner by Governor Elect
Haines according to a statement
made by Mr.. Haines just re-
Gently.
A number of names were sub
mitted by prominent republicans
of the state but the wide expert
epce OF the major won for him
the position. 1t is said of him
that he has brought to Idaho
more people and money than any
other one man in it. Governor
elect Haines among other things
has the following to say OF Maj
or Reed;
ut is my opinion that if any
man in the state Of Idaho can
justify the continuance Of this
office, that man is major Reed
He will assume the duties of this
Office with the distinct under
standing that he is to conduct
the same along strictly business
lines, and that he is not expected
and will not be permitted, to use
the same, or any Of the funds ap.
propriated therefor, for political
purposes or for the furtheranct
OF the political ambitions of any
man or any set of men. If, with
such a man in this position work
ing along the. lines Ihave indicat
ed, the Office does not produce re
suits, it will have been amply de
monstrated to the legislator
which will meet two years henc
that there is no good excuse 70
its continuance. l have grea
confidence however in Majo
Reeds ability, energy. judgmen
and discretion, and expect to Sc,
him demonstrate to the people O
Idaho that he can interest $1OO(
of outside capital and 100 peopl,
from other states in the develop
ment and settlement of Idaho fol
every 81. 90, and every person sc
interested bv the management O
this Office as it has been conduct
ed in the past.
Idaho needs capital and i,
needs settlers The question to
be determined is whether or no,
the maintainance Of this office j.
an aid in securing them.

Land is Subject to
Taxes Before Pat
ent is Issued.

Two opinions, one authorizing
the county commissioners to col
lect taxes on lands after the final
certificate and before the patent
is issued and the other prohibit
ing them from changing their as
sessments after they have adjour-
ned as board of equalization
were handed down by Raymond
l.. Givens, prosecuting attorney.
yesterday afternoon.
The question of taxation OF un-
patented lands has been a moot
ed one before every board of
county commissioners of the
state. 1t involves q large pro-
portion of the lands of the state,
and is an interesting one to every
board of commissioners while
they are sitting as an equalizat-
ion body.
The county attorney holds
that lands are taxable after the
final certificate has been issued by
the federal land office showing
that full payment has been made
and the government regulation
met in every particular. This
would enable tbe county to tax
the land year ahead of the issu-
ance of patent tor the delays in
passing such matters through all
the steps in the land office occup-
les nearly that time The decis
ion is one that affects a large
proportion of the lands in Ada
and other counties and enables
the commissioners to assess pro-
perty that has hitherto claimed
exemption. The question Was
submitted to the county attorney
on the application of T. l.. Tin
dell who claimed that he was as
sessed when the title TO the land
did not belong to him. The
same situation was discovered in
the case OF Mary H. Eagleson.
In closing his opinion, the at.
torney says, "In other words,
the lands of this character are
taxable as soon as the final certi-
fcate is issued and the party is
entitled to patent irrespective OF
the issuance OF patent"
The attorney also held that the
com mlSSlOnerS cannot change
their assessments after they have
adjourned as board of equaliz
alton and quotes section 1892 OF
the revised codes. The matter
was submitted to him on the APP
Pile alton of ]. H. Chambers, ]. l.
Nidav and Mary H, Eagleson for
a reduction. The courts have
held, the attorney says, that the
meeting of the board is fixed
by law which in itself sufficient
notice tor the taxpayers of the
county.

Parcels Post
Effective
Jan 1st.

January comparatively few per-
sons understand it's provisions.
Perhaps this accounts for the re-
cent activity of Uncle Sam in pre-
pairing a parcels post map and
scattering copies of is broadcast
throughout the country. It's
most noticeable feature IS the di-
vision OF the country into zones.
Now you have doubtless heard
of the zone system in connection
with the parcels post and wond-
cred what it meant. A glance
at Uncle Sans map will show
you, though to completely un-
derstand it you may have to i'm
agine yourself as living at the
national capital,
The map shows clearly the re-
lation OF each zone to the city OF
Washington. Uncle Sam might
have drawn a map showing the
relation of each zone to the city
of KokOmo and it would have
been just as good tor illustrative
purposes.
The Zone marked one on the map
has a radius of SO miles; zone
two includes the area outside OF
zone one for a radius of $50
miles: zone three includes the area
outside of zone two for a radius
of 800 miles; zone four the area
outside of the third zone for a
radius OF six hundred miles; zone
FIVE the area outside OF the fourth
zone for a radius of 1000 miles
zone six the radius outside the
fifth zone for a radius Of 14OO
miles; zone seven the area outside
the sixth zone tor a radius oi
1900 miles; zone eight the area
outside the seventh zone includ
ing the Philippines.
If you were living at Washing
ton and wanted to send a pound
of candy to a, friend at Fort
Wayne, a glance at the map
would show you that Fort
Wayne is in the fourth zone. Re-
ferring to the table, YOU would
note that the cost of sending the
parcel to the fourth zone would
be 8 cents.
If instead of sending the candy
to Fort Wayne. you wanted to
send it to Erie, Pa, the cost OF
sending it would be only Z cents,
as Erie is in the third zone. The
shorter the distance the parcel is
to travel the smaller will be the
expense Of sending it. And OF
course the weight of the parcel
will have something to do with
the expense of sending it also.
Rates of postage.
The new law establishes the
following rates:
That the rate of postage on
fourth class matter weighing not
more than four ounces shall be /
cent for eace ounce or traction Of
an ounce, and on such matter in
excess of four ounces in weight
the rate shall be by the pound as
hereinafter provided, the postage
in all cases to be prepaid by dis.
tinctive postage stamps affixed
That except as provided in the
next preceding paragraph post.
age on matters of the fourth
class shall be prepaid at the fol
lowing rates.
On all matter mailed at the
post office from which a rural
route starts, for delivery on such
route, or mailed to any point on
such route for delivery at any
other point thereon, or at the
Office from which the route starts
or at any rural route starting
therefrom, and on all matter
mailed at a city carrier Office, or

NEWS OF THE DAY.

The death4of Representative Geo:
II. Utter, Of. Rhode Island, apparently
breaks the deadlock in which Sthe35
House of Representatives would find
itself if it were called upon TO elect
a president. To the time OF Mr..
Utter's death the House was equally
divided. The representation OF Y
States was Democratic, with % Re-
publicans, and the delegations of four
remaining states were equally dlvld-
ed between Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. Rhode Island was one of the
states in which the delegation was
equally divided, and Utter's death,
should his place not be filled by Re-
publican, for the remainder of his
term, would throw Rhode Island to
the Democratic column. Throwing
Rhode Island to the Democratic col
umn, however, would not permit any
election by the House, because the
constitution requires majority OF
the States. This would be %.
