While some OF the Augusta people
who have been occupying cottages
along the shores of Cobbosseecontee
during the past summer are still ENJOY
ing the beauties of that picturesque
sheet of water, the opening, last Mon
day, of the fall term of school, has re-
suited in the closing of number of
them and the moving back to town of
those who occupied them. The exodus
is chiefly noticed along the North
shore, where but few of the cottages
still remain Open At other cottages,
however, the latch string is still out,
and the people who linger by the lake
until later in the season will realize
the enjoyment of some of the most
beautiful autumn days.

Bleeding Kansas Bleeds Again

Extreme heat through Kansas
and Nebraska for the past month
has practically ruined the corn
crop in those states as well as in
parts of Missouri and Iowa. Last
week the heat was so fierce there
as to dry up the range and water
in western Kansas and cause the
stockmen to ship their cattle by
the thousands to Chicago to save
them from starving and dying
from thirst. At many points the
heat ranged from 100 to ITO de-
grees during the day and moder-
ated but little at night. Within
the past few days several rain
storms have broken the heat
wave but the rain came too late
to be of any material benefit to
the corn crop.

Equalization Board Busy

A dispatch from Boise dated
Aug. Is says: The state board
of equalization is in session here
this week to equalize taxes of 33
counties, railroads and public
utilities, and to establish the
state rate to raise revenue. It is
believed by members of the
board who have review reports
from various counties that the
ultimate rate will be but half ef
that of a year ago. Idaho will
show material increase this
year in it's total assessment prop
erty. The total will be close to
$3.50, 900, 900, as compared with
$418, 78O, ,394.28 last year. The
increase will be in the railroad
and public utility assessment and
personal property. Last year
the total assessments were: Real
property, 1881, ,381, ,842. %; rail-
roads, $84, ,5O6,573; Pullman and
privatelcar companies, 1851, ,924;
telephone lines, $1,430, ,599. 10;
telegraph lines, 81, 152, ASS. 80.
Last year the basis of assessment
was 40 per cent of the full cash
value. This year the property
will be assessed at it's full cash
value. 1t is now estimated that
the board will add at least $780,
O0O,O assessable property to
the tax roll this year. Counties
that have reported their alb
stracts show a total personal
property valuation of $276, ,231,-
SIG. When the balance of the
counties file their abstracts the
total in this class will be increas-
ed by 1922, 100000.

BOY BROWNS
IN LAKE
Son of Asotin Sheep Man
Loses Life as Result of Fool
ish Dare While in Thunder
Mountain Country.

Henry Knopes, the Asotin
sheep man, passed through town
yesterday on his way home from
the Thunder Mountain country
where his son was drowned re-
Gently, and stated that the boy
lost his life as the result of try
ing to ride his horse through a
small lake on a dare made by one
of his companions. The horse
hesitated on getting into deep
water and the boy struck it with
his spurs, causing it to leap and
go under. AS it came up it turn
ed and the rider was trown be-
meath the struggling animal, be-
ing injured or stunned and
drowning before help could reach
him. The body was recovered
later and was taken through to
ASOtln yesterday Tor burial.
This makes the third death in
the Knopes family within a period
of two years. The first fatality
occurred when the family home
above Asotin was burned to the
ground and a two-year old child
lost it's life in the flames. Last
summer Mrs. Knopes was the
victim of runaway accident
while driving a rake in the hay
field, receiving injuries from
which she died within a few
hours, and now comes the death
of the eldest son by drowning.
