DANGEROUS WIRES
TO Be GUT OUT
BUNKER HILL EXTENSIVELY IN.
VEsTiGATING NEW APP
PARATUS,

The overhead system of troleys, SO
dangerous to life, will disappear from
mines of the Occur d'Alene region If
experiments with storage battery mo-
tors to be made in the property of the
Bunker Hill & Sullivan Mining and
Concentrating company. prove prac-
ticable in the movement of large ton
nages. says the Spokane Chronicle.
The low hung wires of the trolley
system have been more or less a men,
ace to life in spite of all guard rails
provided. Manager Stanly A. Easton
has had various experiments conduct
ed looking toward solution of the
problem. AS a result of this study he
has decided to give the storage battery
motor careful test and has ordered
special designs for this purpose
Many mine accidents are traceable
to contact with the low hung live
wires. Last year two miners were
killed in this fashion in the district
and score of others badly burned.
Should the Bunker Hill tests prove
satisfactory the other companies in
the district using electric power will
at once adopt the system, electricians
and master mechanics of the district
are awaiting the outcome Of the ex-
periments with keen interest.
The Bunker Hill and sullivan has
the most extensive system of electric
traction under ground of any mine In
the northwest, many miles Of under
ground wiring being necessary In the
extensive qualifications in the different
levels and in different branches Of the
same level.
To lessen the danger to employees
the trolley wires have
been cut into blocks by automatic
switches that cut of the current after
The motor has passed. This system
throws on the current
when the trolley again passes into this
block. (,

GETTING A REPUTATION
County Assessors of the State are in
Session in Boise for Purpose of
Studying Law-Description of AL
falfa Weevil Which has Invaded
Southeastern Counties.

The county assessors of the state
are in session at Boise this week for
the purpose of studying the new rev.
enue laws. The late legislature made
a number of changes in the tax laws.
In order that the work will be done
the same in every county this meeting
is held Tax Commits sioners Robert
son and Purtell and Representative
committee which introduced and car
ried the revenue law through, were
in attendance at the meeting for the
purpose of explaining the provisions
of the law. The present revenue law
differs from the old law in several
important ways. Henceforth property
will be assessed for taxation purposes
at its full cash value. The 40 per
cent feature of the law has been done
away with. The board of county COM
missoners sitting as board Of equal
ization will grant tax exemptions. In
the past the assessor has done this.
Property exempt from taxation will
appear on the assessment roll the
same as all other property and the
exemptions will be noted by the as
SCISSOR as instructed by the board of
commissioners.
the Interpretation of the revenue laws
will appear in the next issue of The
Tribune 1t is thought that the law
as interpreted and as it will be applied
will be of more use and benefit to the
reader than an outline of the law as
passed by the legislature.

GRANGE
GIVES PROGRAM

The Pomona Grange held at Cald-
we'll on last Tuesday, while not large
" attended, was favored in the after
noon, with a most interesting pro-
gram. ]. K. Trout, who is an advo-
cate of diversified farming, and an au-
thority on the raising of hogs, gave a
most instructive and interesting talk
along these lines.
IT. Stinson, who is thorough be-
lever in thoroughbred stock for dairy
purposes, on the farm, gave some OF
his experiences, which were both en-
tertaining and instructive.
The paper read by Mrs. F. f. Phil
lips, on "How Method Helps was a
most helpful one, and contained many
useful hints, in regard to the extra
work at haying and threshing times
on the farm. :,
The Hon. Silas Wilson gave talk
on the Fruit Industry" that should
have been heard by every orchard'st
in southwest Idaho. He is an ardent
advocate of intensive culture IN the
orchard, and of the raising OF high
grade fruit. He believes thatthe best
quality of fruit can be raised here,
tina, soil aud climate are all IN our Ia:
vor, but that the average orchard
owner has much to learn. especially
as REGARDS the pruning Of the trees,
and the thinning OF the fruit. lie also
believes that when the highest grade
of fruit is raised here. that there will
be no difficulty in finding good mar
kets for it all at the best prices
State Master Harland then gave the
Grange a most interesting talk touch
ing on the matter OF keeping up inter
est in the local oranges, and then Civ
ing some insight into the work OF the
recent legislature. ~ =,
II Allison not being present, T. M.
Nichol explained the benefits to be de-
river from the work of the County
Field Man. =.
This closed the program, which IN
,o;nt of interest was considered one
of the most successful held in some
time.
