MILEAGE BOOKS
COSTING STATE
is Now One of the
Big Items of Expenditure With
the State Not Accustomed to.

Is the mileage book plan being
abused in Idaho and if so has the
anti-pass stand taken by the utilities
commission in refusing to ask for
passes for state officials been bene-
fetal or detrimental from an economi-
cal standpoint? This is the query
that has ben advanced and discussed
since the abolishment of passes so far
as state officials are concerned, says
the Moscow Post That the stand of
the commission in refusing to ask for
passes thereby refusing to place the
state under obligations of any COM
mon carrier or railroad is genrally
believed to have been step in the
right direction is conceded. The COM
mon carriers are also said to be
pleased over the action of the COM
mission.
Inquiry among state officials re-
veals the fact that those officials who
heretofore have enjoyed the privilege
of pass are now paying hard cash
when they travel. Most of the de-
partment heads have to do a great
deal of travelling, not only themselves
but their deputies, also have been
purchasing mileage books and this
item alone, taken collectively, runs
into thousands of dollars. There is
a noticeable increase in the amount
that is now expended for transporta-
tion by state officials over what was
formerly spent. Whether or not these
departments have been lavish in the
expenditure of funds for mileage
books will be established by the time
the first of the year of the biennial
has rolled around and an inspection
of the travelling accounts is made.

home where every thing was done for
him that human hands could do, but

MANY COUNTIES WILL HAVE
TO DIG UP A TREMEN-
DOUS SUM OF BACK TAXES
Bingham County Has Third Largest
to Pay, $15,173.72.
Canyon County Has the Largest to
Pay. Table Compiled by State Au.
ditOr's Office and Shows That Six
teen Counties are i'm Arrears.

Some counties seem to be in bad
with the state in the matter of de-
linquent taxes, and .in most instances
the amount runs into large sums.
Cassia is in shape to put itself on
the book in that it will have to pungle
up lone dollar. Next comes Bon>
ner, and third in the list of small
obligations toward the sovereign
body is Bannock, which owes $1O4.75
back taxes.
A total of $111,S65.S1 in back
taxes is to be collected by the state,
and taken collectively the thirty-one
counties are delinquent in that
amount, though in reality but six
teen are in bad on the eldger, and
steps will be taken forwith by State
Auditor Fred L. Huston to collect.
A total of 5 counties are clear-listed
SO far as being indebted to the state
is concerned for taxes. Ada county
alone owes the state in delinquent
taxes grand total of $2S,146.76, but
that county is not the greatest de-
linquent, Canyon county owing the
state a grand total of $37,423.77.
Deputy State Auditor George Lew
is has completed the compiling of the
table showing the taxes due from the
various counties to the state from
the various levies. The abstract. to-
gether with the summary of the out
standing general fund warrants show
$164,368.95 to have been issued and
unredeemed at this time. The taxes
are due from the levies made in the
general interest and sinking fund,
the public buildings and endowment
fund, the livestock and sanitary, the
predatory animal, the wagon road
and the university building and equip
ment levy. In the last named levy
Latah county, in which the Univer-
sity of Idaho is located, at Moscow,
is the only one that has not paid its
taxes. Some of the counties had bal
ance with the state auditor and they
have been given credit on the states
books.
The following table shows the
amount of taxes due from the var
ious counties under the levies, the
counties unnamed being in the clear
list, either having balance or not
being indebted to the state, having
met their levies:

j. w. POWELL WRITES
OF THE LOST RIVER IN
SNAKE RIVER DESERT
Thinks That River and Lakes Found
Are no More Than Snow Springs
Mr.. Powell Has Lived in the Snake
River Plains for More Than Thirty
Years and Has Written Several Ar
ticles for This Paper About Them.

J. w. Powell who wrote an inter-
esting article which we published on
the 25th of April, 1913, relative to
the Wet lake and the search for
springs in the desert, has read of the
finds by the Alfred party, and sends
an interesting letter:
have just read the account of the
finding of water in the desert by the
Alfred party, but know nothing of
the region south of the trails shown
on my map. 1t is possible that the
river they discovered is one of the
many snow springs, located by my
self on my trail between Picabo and
Wet lake but if so they have mislo-
Gated it on the map, 1t should be a
few miles further north. My opinion
based on a residence of nearly 80
years in the lava field is, that they
have found snow spring. (the name
is original with me). The fact that
they watered seven borses for three
days, signifies nothing. In that time
they would probably drink barrels
of water. What kind OF a river would
that make? There are several water
holes on the old stage road between
Blackfoot and Lost River that waters
several thousand head of stock far
into the summer and sometimes they
last all summer. The present season
has been cold and wet ana water will
be present in most of the snow springs
where the snow he's piled up far back |
in dark cold caverns. | have known
such springs to run all summer. They |
claim evidence of old Indian occupa-
ion, arrow heads, teepee poles, etc. I
don't think that there is quarter
section of land in old Alturas county |
but what has these signs scattered |
plentifully over the whole region !
along with skeletons, skulls, clothing, !
guns, etc. l, myself knowing of more
than two hundred skulls being found
in the latter part of the seventies and |
the earlier eighties, and most of them
had bullet hole through them.
AS for the monuments they spoke of
part of them were raised by trappers
and COW boys but most of them were
placed by that "child of the desert,
the sheep herder, who builded better
than he knew, for the thirsty wayfar-
ers can find water near most of |
them, and feed for his animals. They |
claim to have filed on the land with
view of irrigating it from the river. If
they take up land in that section they
should be we'll versed in the science
of dry farming but remember do not
claim to know anything of the coun-
try south of Wet lake, but have been
over all the desert from Blackfoot to
Lost River, and from Picabo to Yel-
lowstone park. I saw plenty of wa
ter running into the lavas but none
running out of them. I am much
afraid that the Alfred party will find
their river much smaller when they
return in the fall. They had better
take their pig skin along. I would
like to be the first to congratulate
them if they are successful, but in
summing up will say, that am from
Missouri. w. Powell.
