The Commercial hotel building. the

Hot and cold water is being put IN

are all being done in an up-to-date
and permanent manner and when the
work is completed there will be
vast difference in the accommoda-

Another feature that will be pleas

is the fact that the hotel is not to

the management of VIII Reilly.

Saturday evening of last week the
delicate operation of grating skin
onto the burns suffered by C. o.
Grimes was completed and altogether
four hundred square inches have
been transferred from the arms Of
well persons to his wounds. To Sc
cure this amount it took two hundred
and fifty nine people. Two hundred
and fifty four men and five women.
When the operation first began
three weeks ago Mr.. Grimes suffered
considerable pain at each application
of a graft, as during the grating
process it was necessary to expose
his wounds to air. A feature how
ever that was extremely encouraging
to him was the fact that as each
graft took life and began to grow
and spread, the pain in that particu-
lar spot was eased at once. As the
operation progressed his suffering de-
creased and on last Sunday afternoon
he was able to sit up and eat his
dim for the first time since the
acciG mt. All through the operation,
Mr.. Gr'- = has shown remarkable
courage and fortitude which probab-
ly has a great deal to do with the
success of the grating, He is now
making rapid strides on the road to
complete recovery.

Commissioners
Make Levy
Reduce Levy to s1.1o as Against s2.1o
Last Year-Total Amount Raisei
1901 ,e5o-ShouId Not be Much Diff
ference in Taxes.

Monday and Tuesday of this week
the board of county commissioners
met in Caldwell and made the levy.
BY careful pairing with view of Civ
ing the people the economical admin
istration they promised during elec-
ton they succeeded in making the
levy s1.10 as against s2.1O last year.
The total valuation of the county
this year on full cash basis is S27,-
45O. 900 and the levy made raises for
carrying on the business of the coun-
ty sSO1.S5O.
Last year the total valuation Of
the county was in round numbers,
ss1. 900 900 and the levy of $40 was
made on forty per cent Of the total
valuation raising s260.40
In making the levy the commits
sioners faced many problems that
prevented them from making as low
levy as they desired. 1t had been
their desire to hold the levy to 81
even but by the most careful and
conservative figuring s1.10 was the
best they could do. One instance Of
where they were forced to provide
funds is that of the new widows PEN
sion law and there were on file prop
erly drawn up six widows petitions
which aggregate the sum of $500
annually the county must pay. I'm
der the law the commissioners could
do nothing more than arrange for
this expense.
Figured as a whole it is probable
that in some instances taxes this
year may be trifle higher than last
but the general average should be
the same if not a trifle lower. New
valuations have been added to the
county and the general progress
all helps bear the burden.
The amounts appropriated in the
different funds are as follows; State,
as mills; bridge, y mill; road. Il
mill; general school, 2is mills: cur
rent expense mills; interest and
sinking fund. S mill; warrant and
redemption l mill.

So. 1872 $50. and for 1918 it is s4.0S2,-
7S5. The Idaho Northern road was

all the corpora tons in the county.

An OPEN LETTER
TO THE PUBLIC

The Psye5te Milling Company is
surely a Payette enterprise financed
by local capital Its policy will be
the employment Of Payette employ
ees entirely and the speniiug OF ev-
cry dollar at home for the upoui' &
ing OF this section.
The new manager a EdgecOmb has
had many years Of experience in
mill management in the middle west
and we feel that in placing the mill
in his charge we are assuring its pat
rcns that the best possibls in mill
production will be theirs
In considering the manufacture o
flour in this community it is q well
known fact that the soft wheat rais-
ed By the ranchers here is not strong
enough to make q first class article
OF flour but must be mixed With
Turkey Hard wheat raised in high
er altitude.
Our home wheat preiOniEatSs IN
starch and contains but little gluten.
a quality very desirable TO make
good moist loaf of bread. Hard wheat
contains more gluten consequently
blending OF the local wheat and that
raised in higher alt tudes is necessary.
Our Mr.. Edgecomb has 6een up in
the Cambridge country where he
was successful in buying large quan-
titles of Turkey Red and Blue Stem
wheat and is now blending this with
the local grown article. His expert
ence in the milling business war-
rants us in the assertion that the
brands Of flour 70 be placed on the
market by this company viii be as
good or better than any shipped IN.
Realizing that this must be the case
to insure its use and the success OF
the undertaking our aim shall be to
produce an article of flour superior
in every way to any now on the
market.
The new brands of flour will be
named Pride Of Psystte or Cream OF
Payette Valley as soon as it is posi-
BILE to secure sacks so branded but
for the present we shall use Arrcw
sacks.
To warrant the success OF this new
firm we must have the support OF
Payette merchants and business inter
ests and it is gratifying to announce
that they have assured US Of their
hearty cooperation. So far the lew
iirm is starting off with 8 growinS
trade and the mill has been running
eleven hours day steadily for some
time and every indication points 10
the fact that We shall be forced TO
enlarge it inside OF yeSr.
To the farmer we would say: We
want your trade and guarantee you
nothing but a square deal. Our aim
shall be to give you prompt and ef-
ficient service. Bring in wheat
enough to supply you with flour for
the year and get your flour as you
want it. Next year we shall be in
position to furnish you with good.
dependable hard wheat for seed.
