EX-ASSESSOR GROWTH.
Err IS SUED
City of Caldwell Seeks to Recov.
er Funds from Former
Assessor.

Suit has been filed in the district
court by the city of Caldwell against
Frank Crowther, former assessor OF
Canyon county for the recovery of
S909.07. His bondsmen are made de-
PENDANTS.
The complaint says that of the mon-
ey due the city of Caldwell from tax
es levied in 1910, the then assessor
and tax collector, Frank Crowther
failed to pay the city S9O907. The
plainiff demands judgment against
Crowther and his bondsmen for that
amount.
1t is understood that the failure
of Crowther to remit the full amount
of taxes claimed by the City of Cald-
we'll was due entirely to a clerical err
ror in his office, and that the said
amount was distributed by mistake
among the towns of Nampa, Emmett
and Parma. 1t is said that Mr.. Crow
I ther has endeavored to recover the
misplaced remittances from those
towns, but thus far has been unsuc-
cessful, and on account the suit has
been brought.
The mix-up is a peculiar one, and
Crowther is victim of cireumstan-
ces and probably carelessness in the
conduct of his office. At the January
melting of the Emmett city council,
the members of that august body
were startled by the presentation of
a claim of S716.32 from Mr.. Crowther,
who in statement said that amount
had been paid to the city of Emmett
from funds belonging to the city of
Caldwell, and requested that the mon
ey be refunded. A committee, COM
posed of David Murray and Ray Coon,
was appointed to examine the county
books and report upon 7he claim
After careful examination of the
assessors books, the committee re-
ported that they were unable to find
any record that would show what
part of the amount received by En-
NETT at that time was delinquent tax
es, or any record of remittance being
made to the city of Emmett and
would recommend that this amount
be not refunded until detailed state
ment be sent this city of amounts due
for delinquent taxes for 1908"
The assessors cash book shows that
S713.52 was credited to Emmett which
belonged to Caldwell; that $500 was
credited to Emmett which belonged to
Nampa; $3.50 credited to Emmett, be-
longing to Caldwell, and S1,70 credit
ed to Caldwell, belonging to Emmett.
The committee found no record of any
delinquent taxes being paid to this
city in 1909-10. The council adopted
the committees report. As no state

GAVE GOOD ADVICE
Major Fred Reed Tells Commercial
Club of Matter With Idaho

That was a splendid and sensible
talk Major Fred Reed gave to the
Commercial Club Tuesday night. He
told them what was the matter with
Idaho, explained his plans for state
exhibit at the Panama exposition and
dipped wee bit into politics. His
address was listened to with deep at
tention.
Major Reed is the state immigra-
ton commissioner-without pay-and
a member of the state commission to
the Panama exposition. He is making
a tour of the state with the object of
enlisting the cooperation of all COM
mercial bodies in making creditable
exhibit at the San Francisco fair.
He handed out some good advice
which was applicable to this section.
Among other things he said, "You
don't need any more orchards here.
What you need is more thoroughbred
hogs and dairy and stock cattle; more
corn and alfalfa to feed them with
instead of selling it to other people.
You don't want to put all your eggs
in one basket"
Mr.. Reed was driven around the
slope and on the bench and was very
much pleased with the development
that is going on here and with what
he termed the wonderful fruit" He
made his first trip through the EN-
NETT valley 35 years ago, stopping
over night at Dave Murray's hotel

to his wife's mother, Mrs. Sagner of
Joseph, Ore, weighed AZ pounds. A
wagon load he sold to Caldwell mer-
chant, numbering so, weighed $3.50
pounds, or an average of 80 pounds,
and 81 he sold to Henry Obermyer
weighed PASS pounds. The melons
were grown on Hiram Miller's
South Slope farm, which Mr.. Ivie is
tilling this year.

Exterminate the Thistles.

Scotch thistles have become a pest
in many parts of this section, and es-
pecially in the pastures south of town,
and unless every land owner takes
prompt measures to eradicate them
they will take the country. They are
as prolific in seeding as dandelions
and as difficult to get rid of.

Extra large Elbertas in crates were
shown this week by Harvey DeClark,
j. J. Love, j. l. Hit and others.
Their high coloring and uniform size
attracted great deal of attention and
admiration. A few crates brought
in by Mr.. Love caught the eye of Ma
jor Fred Reed, state commissioner to
the Panama exposition, and he was
amazed. He declared he had never
seen any to equal them in all his trav-
els, and he had been in all the famous
peach districts East and West, includ-
ing California.
