TENNIS CLUB ACTIVE.

There is considerable activity on the
tennis courts up, at the school house
grounds these days and three courts are
filled all the time after office hours
and ON Sunday afternoons.
The courts are located on an ideal
place on the southwest corner of the
school house lots. The backstops which
were put up were put too close to the
end lines and had to be moved back to
give plenty of room to the players.
Friday and Saturday of last week GER
tain members Of the club under the
direction of Professor Rice moved one
Of the back stops SO as to give fifteen
feet behind the end lines. While this is
not quite the regulation it does we'll.
Saturday the steam roller which is
used on the streets of Grangeville was
put on the courts and the grounds pack
ed down in good shape. The courts are
still somewhat rough but playing on
them will put them in good shape.
Several of the star players of Grange
vile have been out limbering up includ-
ing F. L. Leonard, Ernie Day, Professor
Rice, Professor staley, Glib Eimers, Edd
Brandon, J. ]. Janesko and quite few
others. Several of the Grangeville
ladies are coming out. The courts prom
Use to afford many pleasant hours of re-
creation, exercise and amusement.

SERUM FOR HOG CHOLERA.

+. A. Kelly, superintendent of the
Idaho hog cholera serum plant at the
state university, has issued the follow
ing:
"Anti-hog cholera serum is the def
brinated blood Qiquid portion of the
BLOODY Of healthy hyperimmune hog.
1t is impossible for this serum to cause
hog cholera, because it is charged with
"antibodieso which posses the property
of being antagonistic to the hog cholera
infection and will protect, or immunize
any hog against the disease.
"Now is the time to vaccinate the
hog, when the herd is in good healthy
condition. Do not wait until the hogs
are infected before you think of doing
something to save them. Vaccinate
the hogs and be on the safe side. Vac
cination is also a means of insuring
the hogs against the ravages of cholera.
At comparatively low cost herd can
be insured, and no danger felt, if there
is an outbreak of cholera in the neigh.
borhood. 1t is better to spend few
dollars for preventive than to suffer
the loss of whole herd Of hogs.
GIN Idaho the number of outbreaks
of cholera is small compared with the
other states. It is the duty of every
farmer of Idaho to cooperate with the
state in supressing the disease. If each
hog raiser will do his utmost to aid the
state in this work it will not be long
before this destructive disease will be
thing Of the past. The slogan should
be, AN Pull Together for the Eradica-
tion of Hog Cholera in Idaho.'

SEVERAL HUNDRED DELINQUENT



County Treasurer Frank s. Rice and
his office force are working night and
day to perfect the list of tax delin-
quencies and to issue the tax certifi-
Gates as required by law, as only five
days is allotted for this work by the law,
commencing with the first Monday in
July.
There are in the neighborhood of 300
or 400 who are delinquent and the law
gives the office small time to make
complete list and issue the certificates,
which necessitates the overtime work.
1t seems unexplainable that so many
of the tax payers let their taxes 60 de-
linquent, and by reason of the fact that
many of the persons who allow this to
happen do it inadvertently, Treasurer
Rice thinks that it is caused by reason
of the tax payers failing to pay particu-
lar attention to the notice printed upon
the tax notices which are sent out.
The notice provides, as may be seen
by even a causual reading, that in case
the tax payer takes advantage of the
privilege to pay his taxes in two in
stalments, one-half Of the total tax is
to be paid "prior" to the first Monday
in January, the balance with per cent
added "may be paid" at any time
"prior' to the first Monday in July.
The tax payer in most instances fails
to see that the notice provides that the
taxes must be paid "prioro to the first
Monday in January and July respective
ly, and some have received a wrong i'm
preston that they have the "first Mon
day" as the last day.
This as the notice on it's face shows
is not true and the treasurer cannot re-
ceive taxes on the first Monday of
January or July. This is undoubtedly
the cause of so many letting their taxes
60 delinquent.
Why this mistake should be made is
not clear as notice sent out further pro-
vides that can taxes on which no pay
ment has been received in the office Of
the tax collector prior To the first
Monday in January, will on that date
be entered on the rolls as delinquent
with 10 per cent added thereto, and
further settlements must be made with
the county auditor.
This matter of delinquency makes
added work and expense for the
treasurer's office as each of the delin.
quent certificates must be segregated
to each highway and school district and
the time allotted, which is five days
rushes the office to the limit.
All of the delinquent tax certificates
are dated back to the first Monday in
January and draw interest from that
time at the rate of IS per cent so that
the taxpayer suffers from his own care
lessness. The change in the law has
undoubtedly created some confusion
but it is hoped that all Of this trouble
will be averted next year as everyone
will have become sufficiently well in
formed as to the law to protect them
selves.

FURTHER WORK ON
STREAM DELAYED
Contrary to General Belief, Bill
Carries 81, 100000 Appro-
priation for Upper River.
ACTION EXPECTED SOON
Improvement Of Mississippi at Stand
still at Present but VIII Likely
Be Resumed Shortly.

Contrary to the general belief in
bill provides for funds for work on the
Mississippi river above the mouth OF
the Ohio. Information received from
the United States engineers office
here is to the effect that the measure
provides for an appropriation of ST.
100000 for the improvement OF the
upper division of the stream.
Usually by this time of the year the
appropriation has been made by con-
gress. The rivers and harbors bill has
already passed the house of represen-
tatives, and local United States river
officials believe that it will be adopted
by the senate within a short time.
The measure received a big vote. al
most unanimous, in the lower house.
Lack Of Work Gives Idea.
D., The impression here that no provis-
ion for work on the upper part of the
stream had been made, was likely the
result of the practical standstill of
river work. This is occasioned by the
fact that the appropriation has not as
yet passed congress.
The only work on the river at pres
ent is deepening the channel at st.
Paul. One large dredge is at work on
the stream at that point now, and an
other is to be put in operation early
next week.
The large dam and lock being in
stalled above St Paul, making the riv-
er navigable at that point, is also I'M
der way. At Keokuk there is some lit
1 e work going on also.
Await Passage of Bill.
The officials are awaiting the pas
. of the bill by the senate. There
is at present at hand for upper river
work about 100000, but such money
is not being used. as the authorities be-
lieve 1t should be kept, should by any
means the bill not be adopted.
1t is very probable that the measure !
will pass the senate, however, since |
It secured such a big vote in the |
house. The officials will await it's |
adoption before they proceed with |
more work.
The fund to be appropriated Is avail |
able July l and many times before, es-
pecially during the long session of |
congress, the appropriation has come |
as late or even later than at present,
III some occasions not having been
made until July or August.
Crews of government boats, who
nave been laid off because their SER
,ices will not be required until funds

DOG HAS SMALLPOX?
