Got Something "New."

The following story is going the
round: A young man concluded that
the home merchant did not advertise
very good line Of clothing SO he sent
to Shears Sawbuck to get something
strictly up-to-date. When the suit
arrived he found a note in the pants
pocket reading this way: SHOULD
this fall into the hands of good look
ing young man who desires to
correspond with a young lady Of sweet
disposition kindly address, etc. The
young man promptly sent let
ter to the address and few days later
received reply as follows: "Sir, my
wife is in receipt Of letter from you
in her maiden name. She says that
20 years ago she wrote that note. She
is now my lawful wife, the mother Of
eleven children. If you do not quit
writing to her | will make a trip to
your town and make your face look
like thirty cents worth of hamburger
sausage" Moral: If you want up-to-
date goods made for 1912 people, trade
with your home merchants.-EX.

The Demonstration Train.

The University of Idaho nemon-
stration train will reach Grangeville
at 4:4O p. m. on Wednesday, January
10th, 1911 and, contrary to popular
belief. the lectures will all be given at
the opera house at 1880 p. m. sharp.
This announcement has just been re-
ceived from Prof. Carlyle, Of the Uni
versity, and in view of the fact that
most of the towns are only getting
from an hour to an hour and quar-
ter, we may find some consolation in
living on the end of the line.
The meeting will be called to order
at 7:3O sharp in the opera house in
order to give all the speakers an OPP
portunity to do justice to their sub
jects. 1t is to be hoped that all seats
will be occupied at that hour.
Prot. Carlyle asks that as many as
possible be on hand upon the arrival
of the train to see the exhibits of live
stock and other exhibits, and listen to
some short talks. The cars will be
we'll heated and lighted for the ac-
commodation of all.
Prof 0, 0. Gregg, one Of the
greatest authorities on dairying in
America, will deliver a lecture on
dairylng that will be worth going
miles to hear. Let us turn out in force
on this occasion.

Against Beneficial Legislation.

Every one is familiar with the poll
cy Of delay and the methods used in
preventing beneficial legislation. The
Statesman is giving fine exhibition
OF the method in its attack upon
Governor Hawley for calling special
session of the legislature to enact a
just and up-to-date revenue law. The
Boise paper asserts that the time is SO
short that proper consideration can
not be given to the subject. The
truth of the matter is that the mem
bers of the legislature will have twen-
ty days to consider one subject, as the
governor has wisely limited the mat
ter to come before the legislature to
the tax problem. For ten days before
the convening of the legislature there
will be in the hands of the members
draft Of a complete revenve law,
which will have been compiled by able
lawyers each of whom has codified the
laws of Idaho and therefore is an ex-
pert in the preparation and compari-
son of laws. Judge MacLane and
Frank Martin, the commissioners,
have been assisted by the force OF
Attorney-General McDougall's office,
and there can be no question but the
proposed law is now in form for a
proper basis for legislative action.
The members of the legislature have
had the experience Of one session al
which many bills were considered rel
alive to tax matters, and surely at
this time are as well prepared as any
body of men ever will be in the state
to take up and deal intelligently with
the question at issue. 1t i'll becomes
the Boise paper to endeavor to thwar'
and retard this undertaking.

Released Pruitt.

Edward Eakin, the gentleman at
whose home Samuel Pruitt made his
way and surrendered after the killing
Of one Rucker early in November, was
in the city Saturday last and made .
statement Of the case to Prosecutor
Griffith which Tailed up with the story
told by Pruitt to the officers at the
time Of his arrival in Geangeville.
The facts as related by Mr.. Eakin
coincided with Pruitt's story and were
convincing enough that the prosecutor
ordered the release of Pruitt, who left
Monday for Payette, Idaho, where he
has secured employment with q hunter
who was present at Eakin's at the
time Pruitt made his way down the
river and related the events leading
up to the killing of Rucker. Pruitt,
who undoubtedly was justified in ta-
king the life Of his partner, and who
seemed to feel quite badly over the
tragedy, has agreed to keep in touch
with Sheriff Overman and Prosecutor
Griffith.
The story told by Eakin of the con-
versation he had with Pruitt at the
time he made his way down the river
and told Of the tragedy, is practically
the same as the one given in the col
umns of this paper some time ago.
The only additional light thrown on
the affair is that the tragedy occurred
just across the river from Lemhi coun-
ty, the Salmon river forming the
boundary and that Rucker was man
with a mighty bad temper.
After relating his story Pruitt sug-
gested that he be taken to Salmon
City over in Lemhi county where he
had friends, but as it was evident that
the crime was committed in Idaho
county, he followed the advice Of Ea-
kin and the others in camp at that
time to come to Grangeville and
surrender to the Idaho county au-
thorities.
"Billy" Robins, who was sent in
from Dixie to drag the river for the
body, and who was assisted by Eakin,
was unable to find the same but as
the river is filled with boulders and
the water is deep, this need not be a
matter Of surprise.

After exciting the interest Of grain
raisers all over the word; after demon
strating its ability to save the farmer
worry, trouble and money in the har-
vesting Of grain. the Idaho National
Harvester is called upon to enter a
new field.
The growers Of rice in the Southern
states have been watching the Idaho
for several years, and the machine
having shown its adaptability in prac-
tically all other grains, they have
decided that the '.from field to sack
for one dollar per acre-and you get
the dollar" plan Of the Idaho. was the
proper method for them.
To test the machine out firm Of
rice growers in the Arkansas fields
have shipped to the Harvester COM
pany at Moscow quantity OF rice in
the straw and a representative of the
Southern rice growers will arrive at
the factory shortly to conduct the test.
That the Idaho will make good"
is certainty and the opening up Of
this big field with the resulting in
crease in demand SO sure to lend an
impetus to the rise of the company's
stock.
The Idaho National Harvester COM
pany is a credit to the state and will
in a few years grow into one of the
biggest manufacturing concerns in the
whole country.

months may be made by referring to

number of licenses issued, the colder
months are the most favorable; at
least majority of those who were
matrimonially inclined last year SO
decided. The following licenses were
issued during the year:

Summary of Provisions to Come
Up at Special Session.
FURNISH SOME SURPRISES
$25OO Home Exemption and
Semi-Annual Payments
Proposed.

The commission appointed by Gov
ernor Hawley, composed of John F.
MacIane and former Attorney Gen.
eral Frank Martin, to prepare re-
vision of Idahos revenue laws, has
filed its report There is wealth Of
detail contained in the report and in
the 10 printed pages Of proposed
laws and constitutional amendments
submitted with it.
There is nothing revolutionary in
the report. The prophecy that the
commission would make provision for
the taxation of public utilities corpo-
rations tor state purposes, and only
leaving each county to make its as
sessment on other classes of property
without reference to the state levy,
was not fulfilled.
The committee ignored it entirely,
indicating its opposition to the plan
at this time.
1t is understood, however, that
Governor Hawley will secure the in
PRODUCTION Of measure providing an
exclusive source of state revenue. The
taxation of mines is not specifically
handled by the commissioners report
and will be covered by special bill.
The following covers the principal
points Of the report: Creating state
tax commission with sweeping powers,
including authority to assess railroads,
telegraph and telephone lines and su-
pervision over county assessors.
Exemption of $2500 in the assessed
valuation of small homes.
Making all tax payments of $40
and over payable semi-annually in
January and July.
Providing for biennial assessments
after 1912 and quadrennial after
1914.
Repeating the provisions for taxa
tion of credits.
Providing for sale Of delinquent tax
titles by the county and for proceed
ings in court to foreclose them.
Prescribing marked reduction in all
the fixed levies.
Making the collection Of poll taxes
optional with each connty and paya-
BILE only by the liable bodied.
Reducing the maximum state levy
to three mills, the county to II and
the municipal to 6.
Limitation of county indebtedness
IN nor cont of tho fret GS 000 000
valuation and | per cent of the bal
ance; limiting municipal Indebtedness
to 5 per cent aside from special assess
ments.
| Making the county treasurer ex-
officio tax collector.

lage is not too close. What other so
cial advantages are there, such as Ii
braries, lecture courses, reading cour-
ses and social gatheringsa Don't over
look these factors in choosing the place
for your business and residence.
What market facilities have you
and does the market require the kind
Of produce which is suited to your soil
and climate? The quality Of produce
is often governed by the kind of Gus
toners one is serving. If near a man.
ufacturing center, large quantities Of
fair quality will be required, but if
near a wealthy community, the guam
tity Of produce will not be large, but
the quality must be Of the best. Can
you accommodate yourself to these re-
quirements?
How distant is your market? If
one has to ship, can refrigerator cars
and such appurtenances be had? Will
the length of haul and the consequent
cost Of shipping leave sufficient mar
gin for production? Oftentimes a
wagon haul will preclude the produc-
tion of some commodities. One can
not produce large acreage Of pota-
toes and team them distance of ten
miles to shipping point. And if
such hauls are to be necessary what is
the character of the wagon roads over
which they must pass? This is the
most vital consideration of all. Two
or three five or six per cent grades in
the road will seriously impede
wagon transportation, while single
sixteen per cent grade or few mud
dy places will be almost prohibitive.
The factor Of ingress and egress or
WAGON ROADS is the most vital
consideration when choosing loca-
ton to plant your home and business.

The cost of getting married, that is
the legal part Of it, is $3.50 for the
license and whatever you wish to pay
the minister or justice of the peace.
1t is said there is considerable COM
petition among the justices over the
county and that Judge Vineyard has
been known to throw in his services
gratis. However, this cannot always
be counted on.
In the way of divorces, just two
dozen have had the shackles Of matri-
mony stricken from them. The cost of
securing divorce varies, but not less
than $25 can be safely figured on.
The game is easy to get into, but costs
to get out.
