ON CORY FIELD
GERMANS DESERT THOUSANDS
OF THEIR DEAD ON BATTLE
FIELDS OF FRANCE.
PARIS REPORT VIA LONDON
Ksiser's Army Repuissd After Several
Violent Attacks--Many Taken Pris-
oners-Allies Put up Great Fight
and Are Pushing onwsrd.

London, Sept. 29.-For the first time
since the beginning of the war news
by wireless sent out by the French
government through the Eiffel tower
station was received in London Tues
day. The message, dated Sept. 2S, fol
lows:
Feeling that their position was be
coming more and more critical under
the pressure of the allies arms, the
Germans have tried to stop us by re-
peated counter attacks. Since Sept,
&c they have delivered by day and
night frequent and very violent at.
tacks at several positions on our front.
Everywhere they have been repulsed,
sustaining considerable losses and
abandoning as they lay thousands OF
dead and wounded.
Many Germans Surrender.
1.-THE Eighth army corps and the
guards were severely put to the test
into our hands. Its to be remarked
that many of the latter gave them
selves up voluntarily, although they
could have escaped.
st seems that the German soldiers
are beginning to have no further doubt
as to the treatment which awaits then
in captivity. At the beginning al
those we captured had a supplicatint
and terrified attitude, arising out o.
statements made by their officers t
the effetc that the French shot theil
prisoners. 1t is rather by an excess O
kindness that we transgress in regart
to them and the too kindly treatmen
which is melted out to prisoners in Ger
tain districts of France has ever
evoked complaints which OCCASIONAL,
have been justified, on the part of al
those who knew how our men ar
treated in Germany"
German Losses Enormous.
According to information from tn
front, the Germans suffered enormou
losses in the last engagement, say
the Bordeaux correspondent of tn
Reuter- Telegram company. She mes
sage continues:
German prisoners state that som
companies of the guards have dwir
died to 100 men and are commando
by young officers, as they have los
all their former officers since the bt
ginning of the war;"

standard by the cencensus of
opinion of all property owners. We
do the same with improvements
centrally located in the district which
we have seen and fixing the value of
all the other improvements by COM
parison with this one as unit, the
people present aiding in this COM
parsons. The next morning we all
meet again and proceed with the
assessment, each man giving in his
property in the presence of the
others. We classify and assess a
district each day. One of US does
the classifying and plate work, while
the other takes the assessment and
lists the personal property.
With this system I will be able to
make the assessment of the entire
county myself and checking up the
standards already fixed for the land,
Improvements, and all livestock and
personal property. l will be.able to
make a more equitable assessment
than there has ever been made in
this county before. Last year as in
proceeding years there were many
unequal assessments due to hurried
work, many fieldmen, and lack of
system and proper plats. All of
these things we over come and save
at least one third the cost of doing
the work. People in the districts
we have assessed have all come out
and have shown a great interest and
have been more than pleased with
the results, all having had a voice
in the equalization of assessments
and grading aud classifying lands.
I wish to request that when the
notices of assessment ar received
that all property owners come out
and be ready to list all property
Quickly. We are working hard and
will with the CO. operation of all prop
erty holders get most equitable
assessment. All property will oe
placed on the same basis.
Very sincerity,

Assessor Latah County.

COUNTY ASSESSOR IS USING THE NEW
SYSTEM FOR ASSESSING THE PROPERTY

Editor Gazette: For the benefit
of all property holders, I wish to
state that the new system of assess
ment, after we have worked under
it for week, taking about two hun
dred statements of real and personal
property at saving of at least one
third in the cost of doing the work
and the result being fully one hun
dred percent better than unier the
old system, that it is proving a sue
cess beyond my own and the
peoples expectations.
This method Of taking assessments
is not an experiment of my own,
but is the Sommers system, intro
duced by w. A. Sommers who has
spent life time in the study of the
assessment and appraisal of all clas-
ses of property, and where used in
the Eastern states has proven to be
uniformly successful.
After studying the conditions in
our own state and particularly in
this county, I have modified this
system making it more adaptable to
conditions, l have to meet under our
tenn making it more adaptable to
present laws, governing the assess
ment of property.
We have made sectional field
plates Of every section of the county
upon which we classify all land by
forties; showing upon these plats
the various classes and grades of
land with the values per acre for
each class and locating all improve
ments with their value.
A. N. Roberts, who is we'll known
in the county and because of many
years of experience in doing field
work has good general knowledge
of the county, is assisting me.
We first notify a number of
school districts by circular letters,
keeping them notified a week in
advance. The property holders of
the district meet in their school
house in the evening at which time
we discuss the values of the various
parts of the county, the classifica-
tons and values of all livestock, and
parts of the Revenue Law pertaining
to assessments and taxes, and such
other questions as may come -.
We also fix the value of IT, rest
lands which is used as TIE unir cf

trict is graded ove- 1r unde: this

COPPER IN QUANTITY
ON LITTLE BEAR RIDGE

A new strike made at the Olson
property on Camp creek within the
last week has caused no little ex-
citement among those interested in
this district where several proper
ties are undergoing development.
In company with T. H. Christie the
News editor had the pleasure of
T1siting the Olson property, where
the strike had been made, Sunday
afternoon.
The strike was made in the
bottom of the shaft, where six feet
of high grade copper ore was en-
countered in strata dipping parallel
with the others which were GU thru
before in the upper workings.
Not ouly do these stratas run parallel
with each other, but it was found
that the ledge matter lying between
the two had pinched out and the
two stratas had come together for
ming a solid body which will no
doubt be found to be the main ledge.
1t was found in a cross-cut which
had been made about thirty feet
above that another strata would be
struck below, but it was surprise to
all when they found that the two had
come together in the bottom of the
shaft.
w. H. Farrar, who had the first
assay office in Lewiston and who
has followed mining for fifty years,
is employed as superintendent at the
property, and he is of the firm op-
inion that they have reached the
main body of ore. The staff is
down SO feet, but Mr.. Olson will
sink to the 100 foot level before
taking out ore for shipment. Prev
ious exploration shows the ledge to
run southwest and northeast, and
when the desired depth is reached
the ledge will be followed in both
directions form the shaft in getting
out ore for shipment Troy News
