VALUATIONS
WERE SHADED
County Assessor Won Canon Estimates
State Board Reduced Bonner
County Valuation $85S, 600
RAILROADS RECEIVE NO RAISE
Reduction of Ten Percent on Town
Lots and Patented Lands

County Assessor VonCanon
figures out that the total reduction
in valuations in Bonner county
made by the state board of equaliza-
ton amounts to approximately
$S5S, 900.
The state board reduced town
lots and all land in Bonner county
ten per cent except waste and
grazing lands which were left as
reported from the assessors rolls.
Cattle were increased ten per cent,
while hogs were decreased ten per
cent and sheep eight per cent.
Assessor Won Canon and Com
missioner McCombs, after check
ing over the various abstracts from
the different counties, asked the
board to grant Bonner county
horizontal reduction of 20 per cent
or raise the low counties to the
basis on which Bonner county was
assessed. The result was that
some of the counties were raised
from ten to rs per cent while Bon
ner received what amounts to prac-
tically a horizontal reduction of
ten per cent on patented lands and
lots.
No changes we're made in the
railroad valuations of the county
from last year, viz Great Northern
and Northern Pacific, sos, 900 per
mile; Spokane International, S12,-
500 per mile; Idaho & Washing
ton Northern $4,000 per mile;
Kootenai Valley, 81, 500 per mile.
The Western Union Telegraph
company was raised from $3.50 to
800 per mile on its main lines.
The total railroad valuation in
Bonner county is $40, 1928, 900
which represents as per cent of the
total valuation of the county.
While the railroad valuation of the
county was not increased this year
over last year, yet the lands and
town lots were assessed practically
OIL the same basis this year as last
and the reduction of ten per cent
OIL lands and town lots is equiva-
lent to FIVE per cent raise on rail-
roads.

Y. c. Alternately has arranged
to ship 10 carloads of young lambs
to Chicago September 12. The
remainder of his flock of 10000
sheep will be shipped to eastern
Washington and Northern Idaho
to be sold in small lots to farmers.
Mr.. Alternately shipped in these
sheep early in the spring from

hocks during the summer on lands
in the Moyea river district. He
states that his sheep did remark
ably well and that next year he
will bring in 100000 more sheep.
Mr.. Alternately claims that the

ACCUSED OF
TAKING TRUNK
E. Morris Arrested Here Monday on
Burglary Charge Wanted
In Missoula, Mont
CLAIMS TRUNK IS WORTHLESS
Morris Denies Being Guilty Of ANY
Wrong doing

+. Morris, a recent arrival from
Missoula, Mont, was taken into
custody here Monday night by
Marshall Morley upon advices
from the sheriff of Missoula
county, Montana, that Morris was
wanted there on the charge of
burglary.
A deputy sheriff from Missoula
arrived Tuesday morning to take
Morris back to Missoula. Norris
declined to fight against extra
dition but claimed that he was
being wrongfully prosecuted. He
left with the deputy sheriff for
Missoula Tuesday afternoon.
Morris is charged with having
appropriated a trunk from the
place where he and his family, q
wife and two children, had been
staying during their sojourn in
Missoula Morris claimed that
the trunk was a worthless one and
ready for the rubbish heap and
that he had believed it to have
been discarded. 1t is alleged that
the man who owns the trunk did
not swear out the warrant for the
arrest of Morris.
Morris is a sign painter and an
automobile dsiver. He came here
to follow his trade. He is former
resident of Standpoint, Idaho,
where he lived for some time.
Friends of Morris believe that
when the the facts of the case are
known the charges against him
will be dropped.
According to advices received
this morning from Missoula Mr.
Morris was acquitted of the charg,
referred to above and is leaving to
day for this place which he will
make his future home.

SOCIALIST ORATOR CRATES
Talked to an Empty Corner Until
Byron Walkers Car Got Busy

J. Arthur Scott, the young So
cialist orator, whose presence on
the corner of Main and Kootenai
streets a week ago was greeted
with bombardment of hen fruit,
maliciously thrown, held forth
Tuesday night, despite the occa-
sional showers which did not seem
to dampen his ardor, although his
audience kept discreetly out of the
way of the drops.
The soap box philosopher phil
osophized on for some time, sett-
ing forth the good things we all
will enjoy under the socialistic
regime. Then came the Interrupt
ton. 1t was not exactly a volume
of noise on gets in ones ears when
an aeroplane motor gets busy, but
was sufficient to keep the stoutest
hearted guessing as to whether the
Mexican revolution was revolut-
ing in the immediate vicinity OF
some of Pop" Bruce's dynamite
had decided to take its flight.
The noise was finally classified
Byron Walkers car, and DR.
Moore's car having moved majesti'
cally as far as the corner aforesaid
thereupon got cantankerous. The
pestiferous organisms seemed tc
develop nothing but noise, ano
then more noise. This was repeat
ed several times. After an inter
minable length of time had elapsed
in which Mr.. SCOTS patience anc
oratory simultaneously had become
exhausted, the owners of the car:
found the trouble some dust hac
got into the thingamabobs, caus
ing the spiffie-plugs to miss fire
The trouble overcome set things tC
rights and the late-gathered crowC
good-naturedly dispersed for home

INCREASE OF
PUPILSIS GREAT
High School and Grades Of Local
Schools Badly 0vercrowded-
New Building Needed
FIRST DAY ATTENDANCE WAS 3O5
Were So High School Students Last
Year We're 40

The enrolment of students of the
public schools of the Independent
School District No. Tuesday
morning showed the greatest in
crease ever made in a single year
on.enrollment day in Boomers Ferry.
The total first days attendance was
sos. Last year it was PSI. Super
intendent Spoerry figures that the
attendance this year will reach and
possibly pass the 800 mark.
The number of new pupils has
placed the school board and faculty
up against it for room. There is
not grade room in the school but
what is over-crowded and some
provisions must be made at once to
take care of the overflow.
In the primary grades there are
AZ pupils enrolled, 80 of whom are
beginners. Another teacher and
another room must be secured or
else this grade will have to do with
half day sessions, the one teacher
taking care of one half of the grade
in the morning and the other half
in the afternoon. This will mean
lack of efficiency and will prove a
detriment to the child and so will
be avoided if possible.
In the high school there are 90
students enrolled and this number
will easily increase, during the next
few weeks, to IS. The high school
department can not justly accomo-
date more than so students even by
using the Office room for a class
room. Last year there were only
40 students enrolled on the first
school day.
Twenty-Five of the high school
students have enrolled in the new
commercial department which is
under the supervision of Prof
Wicks. A number of other stud
ents have elected to take portions
of the commercial course and q
number of people outside the stud
ent body have applied to take W
this course on a tuition basis.
Thus far there are 13 high school
students enrolled in the scientific
course and IL in the literary course
while the remainder have not YET
decided which course they will
take up.

not be done, and as Mr.. Haines

strength and popularity, and l ex-
pect to see him renominated and

There is little comment con-
corning other state positions, but
it may be set down as a certainty
that both Attorney General Peter
son and State Auditor Huston,
now serving their first terms, will
be honored with denominations.
Both are strong men and deserved

Bonners Ferry Population Not Swell

This Source
RECORD SHOWS DECREASE
The Situation of the Birth Record
Similar to That of France

The new reporter on the Herald
staff has had a suspicion for some
time that matters pertinent to the
numerical health of Bonners Ferry
were not exactly as they should be,
so, in his peregrinations over the
town i'll search of clues with which
to substantiate his suspicious, he
wandered into the Offices of physi-
clans who have, among their multi
tude of duties, civic, polite and
professional, the recording of the
deaths and births of our fair city.
The reporter gave the courteous
ly inquiring physician a hint of
his errand. Was he making un-
necessary trouble for honorable
doctor? All, no; such information
as Mr.. Newspaperman wished
would be digged up forthwith, so
have chair and be comforted.
The dust had been allowed to
accumulate unmolested upon the
book of records of that which was
sought so earnestly, and as the
good doctor blew the dusty accre-
ton off in a cloud, the reporter
reminiscently conjured up visions
of past Pompeiian glory, now
obliterated by an aeon of Pompeii' S
ashes. The book recording the
births was itself again and the re-
porter awakened.
The month that has just closed
the month of August has to its
credit, one BIRTH
That impenitent bird, the stork
simply is not giving our city a
square deal, for in referring back
to the months preceding August
similar discouraging condition is
revealed.
In August, 1912, FIVE births are
recorded and other months of that
year proportionately large. What
is the reasonl The reporter
scratches his editorial head in lier
of an answer. Population in
creasing2 By leaps and bounds
Not house to rent, not a vacant
store-everything on the high It'd,
of prosperity-all but the infre
quent, almost negligible visits o

The Herald is joyously willing
to make public the gladstone news
that there has been born to Mr.
So-and-so, nine pound son o,
