NO DELINQUENT TAX LIST

Under the workings of the revenue
law passed by the last session of the
legislature the delinquent tax list will
not be published. On the first Mon
day in February any person may ap-
ply to the county auditor, pay the
taxes and the added penalty and re-
ceive a tax certificate for the pro-
perty.
Formerly the law provided that
delinquent taxes be advertised and
sale held during the month of August,
the advertisement and sale giving the
property owner chance. The eli
mination of that part of the law is
a manifest injustice to taxpayers.
The provision of law, under which
a purchaser of tax certificate can
obtain title to lands so purchased after
three years. remain unchanged. The
new law provides, however, that the
property owner may redeem his land
at any time within that period upon
the payment of 10 per cent penalty
affixed by the county and one and
one. half per cent per month interest
on principal, dating from the date
of delinquency. the first Monday in
January, and that it shall be unlaw'
full for purchaser Of a tax certifi-
cate to collect any other money from
the property owner.
All taxes delinquent are subject to
10 per cent penalty for delinquency
and one-hak per cent per month. max
ing total Of % per cent for the
first year. For the second and third
years no penalty is added, the rate
LOT interest amounting to Is per cent.
Interest Is charged from the first
Monday in January. no matter whs-
ther the delinquent taxes are paid
to the county clerk or to the Dur
chaser Of a tax certificate.

Working on Marble Creek Cases

Washington, d. c., Jan. 20.-At
the regular meeting Of the Public
Lands Committee in the Senate, Sen
ators Borah and Brady appeared with
Attorney General Peterson and State
Land Commissioner Day in behalf of
Marble Creek Land cases. Speeches
were made by Senators Borah and
Brady urging the early passage Of
the Borah bill which authorizes the
Secretary of the Interior to make
transfers necessary to enable the
state to get lands Of equal value to
the lands in township A., range 2 and
east Boise Meridian, which are now
under litigation in the Department Of
the Interior, known as the Marble
Creek land cases.
The Idaho delegation are solidly
back of this bill, and the senators
are receiving letters and kilograms
from North Idaho asking for imme'
date action on these claims.
BY way of comment Senator Brady
had the following to say with refer.
ence to the Marble Greek cases:
The lands in the. Marble Greek
have been in dispute practically since
1901. The whole trouble arose over
the fact that the National Govern
ment did not notify the register and
receiver Of the land office at Coeu.

Federal Aid Urged For Boise
Yellowstone HALFWAY


The Upper Snake River Valley High
way Association is promoting the
Boise Yellowstone Park Highway, and
is endeavoring to obtain federal aid
for so much of the highway as ex-
tends through the Targhee National
Forest, which adjoins the Yellowstone
Park.
Representative French believes that
the Federal Government ought to
bear it's pro rata portion Of the ex-
pense for the highway, on account
of the Forest Reserve, and has the
matter up with the Forestry Service
at this time, urging that the neces-
sary funds be made available for road
construction work from the funds
authorized for road building within
national parks.
The alternate question Of special
legislation to provide the funds for
the highway, Mr.. French favors If
necessary, but thinks the work
could be handled through the Forestry
Service direct

Birdie" Cree, Claude Derrick and
Jay Kirke are three of the most SEN
sational "comebacks" of the season.
When this trio was cast adrift by ma
ior league clubs little or no attention
was given to their fate. They had
dropped out of the fast set and were
headed for the minors. But now it's
a different story. All three accom-
plished wonders with the teams to
which they were sent, and now they
are back in the big yard again.
The New York Americans sold Cree
to the Baltimore Orioles for $500 and
gladly paid $4,000 to get him back
While with Baltimore Cree led the In
ternational league batsmen with an
average of 1853. Claude Derrick also
was shipped to Baltimore by the Ath-
letics, who figured that he was
through in the big show. Derrick did
great work in the field for the Orioles
and hit for $3.50.

he obtained letter of introduction to

Although surprised at this warm
welcome, Brown thought some Of his
stockyards admirers might have been

and obeyed the Injunction to get
dressed and get busy with alacrity.
This happened before recent
