ported that the jurors were evenly

Mrs. S. b. Chase, assistant superin-
tendent of the North Idaho Children s
Home at Lewiston, was in the city sew
eral days this week in the interests of
that splendid institution which is doing
so much good for the homeless and
neglected children of this part of the

connection with the Children's Home
at Boise and during the last year the
two institutions gave aid to 1865 chill

surely creditable record of attain

Lewiston home, under the Chase super
vision, is making an excellent record
and accomplishing wealth of benefit
for all with whom it comes in contact.
Mrs. Chase was very successful ON her
visit here and asked that the thanks of
the home be extended to the people of
this community for their interest in the

This table shows the total valuation
to be $24,OO0,OO0 less than that of last
year, but it must be remembered that
bank stock, migratory stock and some
other classes of personal property are
to be added later on supplemental
roll, so that it is estimated that the
valuation will this year be practically
the same as last year.
There was cut of $10,O00,000 made
in the value of real and personal prop
erty by the state board of equaliza-
tion from the figures submitted by the
county auditors. The total before equal
ization was 1914 1901 $50 This was re-
duced to $304,01l,1s4.
In addition to the 100000 to be
raised under the general levy for state
purposes, there will be raised $50, 100
for the interest and sinking fund.- and
$60,l76 for public buildings. This will
be distributed among the various coun-
ties in the same ratio as the general
tax. The tax levy for all state pur-
poses this year will be $.002483. Last
wear it was a little more than six mills
on the dollar, but that was estimated
on 40 per cent of the cash value of the
property.

SAYS GRAIN IS BEST EVER.

said Frank McGrane, manager of
the Alexander-F -Freidenrich Co.
store, yesterday. "There may
have been seasons in the past
where the yields was greater than
this year but in my experience
with Camas Prairie crops ] have
never seen the wheat and other
grain OF better quality than that
being harvested now. The heads
are all well-formed and full and
the kernels are as hard and solid
as a rock.' Mr.. McGrane took
a layoff from his arduous duties
at the store last week and spent
few days with relatives in the
Fem and Denver sections where
he had an excellent opportunity
to acauaint himself with harvest
conditions and acquire a first
hand knowledge of the exact
status of the grain crop.

$50 ENROLLED FIRST week
Superintendent Rice Pleased With
Spirit Manifested by Teachers and
Pupils-Orchestra Organized

The local schools began the fall term
Monday in accordance with the original
schedule with the entire membership of
teaching corps and an exceptionally
large number of students in attendance.
Superintendent ID. F. r. Rice, in speak
ing of the schools and the auspicious
opening, said in part: 1.-The opening
day found $50 high school and grade
pupils present. This is few more
than last year and up to our greatest
anticipation. Some grades, of course,
have more and other less than last
year.
"The first grade has an exceedingly
large attendance. Forty eight Begin
ners are present and 10 who attended
last year.
"The high school enrolment is Il
more than it was for the same time last
year or is more than one-third larger
there being now "a in attendance. This
will doubtless soon reach ninety.
Fine School Spirit Manifested.
"The previous years have promised
much in the way of good school but
this years is promising more than for
several terms past. The attitude of
the teachers is the very best, their en-
thusiasm is all that could be wished
and there is no doubt about their pre-
paration for their work. The spirit of
the pupils of the entire school is ex-
ceptionally good. There seems to be
something in the air. Perhaps it is the
new building which is going up. At
least it is certain that it is genuine
school spirit. 1t has been many years
since so large and enthusiastic group
of high schools pupils came together in
Grangeville. They are giving every
evidence of their earnestness. They
mean to do their work well and to en-
joy it, too.
GA high school orchestra has been
organized and practice begun under the
direction of Miss Gwinn. Next week a
glee club will begin its practice. After
Border Days work in basket ball will be
taken up. 1t is hoped that the literary
society can soon be organized and thus
keep the intellectual and athletic acti
vities of school life on the program
