TOTAL CITY TAX LEVY
"A MILLS
Reduction of 6 Mills Over Last
Year-Sewer Trouble to
be Remedied.

The city council Monday evening
fixed the general tax levy of the city
of Emmett at II mills. This amount
with the mills special levy to retire
outstanding warrants makes a total
levy this year of IA mills, or reduc-
tion of mills over last year, which
was 20 mills. This years levy is
l mill more than it would otherwise
have been had it not been necessary
to appropriate $3.50 to remedy defects
in the new sewer. The assessed val
uation of the city is approximately
half a million dollars. The levy will
therefore raise $4,000.

Want Rural Mail Route

The farmers between Freezeout
divide and Little Willow are desir-
Gus of having a rural mail route
established out of Emmett to serve
that section. H. Haag, one of the
substantial farmers of that country,
was in town last week urging that
Emmett people lend their assistance
toward inducing such action by the
postoffice department. Before route
could be secured it would be necessary
to build the new wagon road which
has been under consideration for
several years. 1t is proposed now to
push the road matter so as to be in
position to inaugurate campaign for
the desired mail route.

Fine Peaches

John C. Dewey has been marketing
some extra fine large peaches from
his orchard east of town. None bet

full if so large a quantity of uniformly
large peaches has ever been grown in
the Emmett country. They are the
Elberta King Variety. A crate
brought to town the other day con-
tained only Is. No more could have
been squeezed in. These were sent in
for the exhibit at the Panama exposi-
ton. Half dozen crates brought in
Tuesday contained peaches of the
same proportions.

less someone could be secured to carry
it for what the government considered
a reasonable price.

for carrying the mail expired some
time ago, but as no new bids were re-
ceived and as the government had the
right to extend the contract, they were
forced to carry it until the first of
September when the contract was to
be let again. But the new bids were
again so high that the contract was
not let and the inspector said that it
was up to the people to get their mail
over from Montour.
"At last reports it was decided to
have a conference with the Ola peo-
pie before petitioning for the change
mentioned in the proceeding para
graph, meanwhile we are getting our
mail the same as usual. This is re-
suit of the Calender Bros. being
forced to carry it for thirty days more
until other arrangements can be
made"
