COUNTY TREASURER MAKES
GOOD AS TAX COLLECTOR

The constitutional amendment max
ing the county treasurer the tax col
lector is working out most satisfac-
torily and particularly so in Canyon
county. Treasurer Monk has taken
advantage of the law in every man
ner possible with the result that he
has saved considerable money to the
county, the cities and the school dis
tricts. AS fast rs taxes are collected
warrant call are made and consdera-
Bile sums in interest are saved. The
present law, like a great many others,
is an instrument which may be used to
the advantage of the people if the
right kind of men are in office. While
the law is a good one it is not self
operative. Much still devolves upon
the county official
As an instance of how the law
works it may be cited that County
Treasurer Monk turned over to the
city of Caldwell the city taxes col
lected, seven days before he was re-
quired to do so by law. The city
treasurer was enabled to issue war
rant call that much sooner This was
done with every city in the county.
The county was also enabled to call
in warrants at least ten days sooner
than would have been the case under
the old system. The saving made in
each instance while not great deal,
will amount to a considerable sum in
the aggregate. The local officials and
the taxpayers are we'll pleased with
the new method of collecting local
taxes. In the past the county asses
s,>r h,A TOO ,,,v~b ~ do and Tho roup
ty treasurer too little. Under the new
plan the work is more equitably divid-
ed to the advantage of both offices.

OLD FOLKS CONCERT
MEETS WITH SUCCESS

: The Old Folks concert given under
the auspices of the D. A. R. was one
of the most entertaining and laugh
able evenings on record. When Mr..
Blatchley started the Heidelberg
march, the performers marched Sc
dately up the aisle, wearing costumes
beautiful, old fashioned and quaint.
The program was announced in sing
song fashion and everything done ac-
cording to old, old style. All num-
bert were heartily encored, the male
chorus of Johnny Schneider being
one of the most popular.
DR.. Boone's violin solo, entitled
college Medley" was great treat,
as was also the quartet, "Jerusha Put
the Kettle On" Mrs. Stone and Mrs.
Stalker delighted all with the idaho
Song" which they sang with a great
deal of feeling. This song was COM
posed by an old man up in the noun
tains and has never been published.
The air was simply committed to
memory and harmoinzed by one of
the ladies. The song and minuet
drill given by the four little girls
was beautiful and greatly appreciated.
The concert throughout was most
pleasing and as number were heard
to remark afterwards, "One of the
best things ever given in Caldwell"

COUNTY VALUATION
MAY Be RAISED

John D. Robertson, the tax expert
on the public utilities commission,
was in Caldwell Monday for the pur-
pose of checking up the 1918 assess
ment roll. After a thorough investi-
CATION he is of the opinion that the
assessed valuation of Canyon county
is from 80 to 50 per cent too low. 1t
is believed that when the commission
meets the valuation of the county will
be raised to the extent indicated. Mr..
Robertson bases his calculations on
the 1912 assessments. Last year the
assessments made passed the state
board of eualization with but few
changes 1t was the general opinion
that the realty assessments last year
were too high. The valuation of the
county was placed at $32,O0OOOO. This
yea rit will be from $5,OOO,OOO to S.
100000 less, ad the cut in realty valua-
tons is responsible for the decrease.
The heaviest cut was made on the
valuation of orchard lands; the trees
of full bearing orchards Exclusive of
land) were assessed in 1912 at SIS
per acre, while the same class of prop
erty this year was listed at 500.
Personal property in the county will,
it is said, show substantial increase
over last year.

Mineral Products in 1912.

The people of this part of Idaho
are apt to forget at times that mining
is one Of our leading industries. We
are SO wrapt up in agriculture. hor-
ticulture and kindred pursuits that
the immense wealth produced annual
" by this state is seldom thought Of,
In 1912. according to the United
States Geological Survey, the total
mineral wealth produced by Idaho
amounted to SCI ,466.s The miner
ais produced were: gold. 66,Sl6,23
fine ounces valued at 81 1921 sill
yer. S.2o4.74S ounces, valued at $751;
3l6; copper. 7.4o2,ls2 pounds. valued
at $l.236,2Os; lead. 2S4. l8s.s2s pounds,
valued at $l2.26s,657: zinc, 1905, 500
pounds. valued at $os9,47o. There
was an increase in the production OF
all metals in, 1912 over 1911. While
the increase in copper and silver was
only small in quantity better prices
made the valuation much higher. The
production Of lead increased over 4
per cent and about the same was the
increased production of zinc.
Shoshone county is the leading
mineral producing county of the
state. In fact Shoshone county pro-
duces about six times as much min
eral wealth annually as all the rest
of the state put together. The min
erals produced by Shoshone county in
1912 were valued at $l8,3l3.6N. Lem
hi is the second county with valua-
ton of $l,22l .048; Custer third with
