ICE EIGHT INCHES,
BUT TOO SOFT

There is no ice skating today.
But, if the promise of the
weather man is fulfilled,
there will be excellent skat-
ing tomorrow morning.
There is still approximately
eight inches of ice on the
basin and if the mercury
drops a few degrees below
freezing tonight, as predict
ed. and hardens the surface,
the sport may be resumed
tomorrow morning under the
most favorable conditions.
The rink was closed today to
prevent the ice being dam
aged in its present soft con-
dition. DR.. E. c. Meyer,
leader of the skating en-
thusiasts, stated today that,
if the predicted colder
weather comes tonight, the
FREELY carnival will be held
the evening of New Year
Day.

FIGURES ON COUNTY DIVISION.

"A statement was published i'm the
urangeviile papers last week showing
the total tax paid in 1913, in Lewis
county, Clearwater county, and Idaho
county, and while the statement was
entirely correct, the figures being taken
from the State Tax Commission Report,
we believe that for the purpose of com.
parison, the amount Of the Current Elk.
pense Fund Levy in each of these
counties would be more accurate, as the
desire is to show the actual comfy
expense, leaving out school. road and
city taxes.
We takes the figures from the State
Tax Commission report, as follows:
Current Expense Fund:
county -. $3.50 per $1,000
Lewis county ....... 1000 per 1000
Idaho onuu<x, 49,.
Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1914-08-27

These figures are published in order
to correct the statements made by the
County Divisionists that the small new
counties are less expensive than the
larger counties.
whether we take the total tax paid,
or only the current expense fund, the
showing is all in favor of old idaho
county.
The figures showing total tax levy
published last week were as follows:
Lewis county ........ $4,000 per $1,000
Clearwater county ~. 34.0O per 1000

The Right Man.

The people of this portion of
the district are eager to see some
good man in the race for Con-
gress other than Mr.. Cantrill.
Judge Benton, of Winchester,
has been mentioned as a proba.
BILE candidate, and we would be
glad to see him in the ring, but
the Judge has decided not to en-
ter, and will stand for the nomi-
nation for another term of Cir
cuit Judge. There is a man who
is as true to the people as steel,
and who has been as thoroughly
tested as mortal man can be test
ed, and that man is none other
than Claude M. Thomas, of Paris,
former State Senator from the
counties of Montgomery, Clark
and Bourbon. During his term
of Office, notone word of corrupt.
ness was heard of him, and as
much cannot be said of some 9th
er prominent members of the
Legislature about that time.
Mr.. Thomas is not yet a candl.
date, but there are thousands of
Democrats over the district that
are urging him to become a can
didate. They are not for HIM
for the sole season that they are
against Mrs Cantrill, but they
are for him because he is a man
of integrity and real worth. They
want him in Congress for the
good they>know he can and will
do for his country and his party.
Mr.. Thomas was at Stanton
Wednesday and in this city a
short while this morning. He is
unusually string in this county,
and the Tih ts confidently be-
lieves he will be able to pull
more than two-thirds of the Dem
Ocratic vote in the primary this
fall, if he can be induced to be-

Why not Come to Clay City.

There is scarcely a day that
the daily papers of Lexington
and Winchester do not give an
account of some hold-up or rob-
berry; some days two or more
burglaries are perpetrated in one
or both of these cities. Homes
are entered in day and night,
most frequently at night while
all are asleep, things ransacked,
and every piece of valuable jew
elry and cash taken. Some days
good citizens are caught out in
secluded places and held up and
relieved of their cash. The stu
alton has become alarming, and
so far the officers have been una.
BILE to check the depredations in
either city or county.
Moral: If you want to live in
good county where you can
sleep-if your conscience is clear
|-undisturbed by burglars, or
from the fear of burglars the
whole night through, come to
Clay City or Powell county.
There are not two cases of even
ordinary theft reported to the po-
lice of Clay City in twelve
months, and we can't remember
now of single one in the past
two years. Yes, you can't beat
Clay City and Powell county IN
the way of honesty and morals,
if there is more wealth to be
found elsewhere.

that he had moved and left no

true, for in due time came a COM

for not getting his paper. Post
masters frequently make such
mistakes. They should be more
careful. Because a paper cannot
be delivered the day It is receiv-

go visiting for a week or two.

Must rlsintain the Lower Rate.

The Railroad Commissioners of
Kentucky and the government
are having it up one side and
down the other with the l.. IL N.
railroad, with the Commissioners
ahead so far.
The sum aud substance of the
case is the l.. & N. few years "a
20 gave nineteen distilleries a.
bout Frankfort, Lexington, An
dersOn county, and ETC., a spe.
cIal rate on grain to keep them
from prosecuting case against
them for excessive rates. Small
er shippers of grain demanded a
like concession of rates, and car
ried their cases to the Kentucky
Railroad Com mission, which or
dered the same rate to all ship.
pers. The L. d N. then raised
their rate to the original high
prices, whereupon the fight be-
fore the Commission was resum-
ed, with the result that the low
er rate was ordered re-esta blish-
ed by the Commission, and the
difference between the rightful
charges and the exorbitant charg-
es collected be paid the shippers.
The difference so far is more
than $50, 100000. This Is hard on
the railroads but good for the
people.
The l.. & N. railroad says the
reason it gave the distiller'es a
lower rate than other grain deal
ers was to encourage the manu-
facture of liquor. Well, Well,
we are thusly informed that the
l.. & N. railroad and the distiller-
les have formed a combination.
As Beckham is an L. q N. rail-
road lawyer at Frankfort, where
the case is pending, we can not
help but wonder how the gifted
sons of temperance enjoyed his
part of the merger with the big
distilleries, if his duties were to
help in it's formation.
