remote and secluded places. We have
reports from the counties that have
been divided and they all say that
their government is better and more
efficient under the plan of smaller
counties.
". Ceur d'Alene County is a
Logical County.
For county to have efficient gov.
ernment it is necessary that the
people 10 the county have common
interests and that they can get to the
seat OF government. In this western
country it is often the case that one
might be only two or three miles from
a place and yet on account Of hills
and mountains be unable to reach it.
Ceur d'Alene county was mapped out
by thoroughly competent surveyor
and endorsed by committee from all
parts of the proposed county with
this in view that 1t would be a county
where anyone in II could easily reach
the county seat. It Is county that
is entirely agricultural in character
and would be run at a very low
expense. 1t Is absurd to say that the
proposed county Of Occur d'Alene has
not 10 it the necessary wealth for a
county. In 1918 its assessed valua-
tion was $2,558,635. 1t is estimated
on conservative basis that the
assessed valuation for the year 1914
| would be at least three and half
million dollars. It should also be
borne in mind that the wealth of the
proposed county OF Occur d'Alene Is
rapidly increasing, that homesteads
are continually being proved up on
aud that Indians are constantly
getting patents to their lands and
that railroads are constantly building
| new roads in this favored area. 1t
can reasonably be assumed that IL
| will be five times what il Is now in
three or four years. However, the
present valuation Of Adams county Is
but little over I've million, the
present assessed valuation of Custer
county is a little over three million
and tho nresent assessed valuation of
Minidoka county is little over four
million, as shown on page OF the
report of the Idaho Tax commission.
Thus it can be seen that the pro
posed county now has an assessed

Killed A Black Bear.

Alter Intellectually trying for
some time by snares and traps and
by chasing with dogs, to get the
bear that had been visiting his
fathers orchard, Captain Brad
bury succeeded in getting his game
last Sunday morning. He caught
the animal in a steel trap he had
o .rrch ased for the purpose and dis
pa, ched him with bullet from a
4s.7o u. s. Springfield rifle.
The bear vas black one about
two years old and weighed lSs
pounds. He b. I'd been making

at 6 o'clock Sunday morning was
found outside OF the .orhha rd where
he had dragged and carried the
20 pound trap, 3o-pound logging
chain and I5-pound 6x6 timber.
passing through 7-wire fence and
rs yards beyond before he was
discovered and shot. He had
evidently fought hard to free him
self, had chewed thcs corners and
edges off the piece Of timber and
even ghawed at the paw ihet was
in the trap.
Mr. Bradbury says it is the first
season bears have ever visited his
farm, so far as he knows.

The POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
Items of Interest to the Voters q.
Idaho.

BOISE, Oct. 6 (SpecIal}-With the
arrival Of Senator Brady In the state
and the opening gun OF the campaign
fred at Twin Falls last Friday night
when Senator Brady and Attorney
General Peterson addressed a largely
attended Republican meeting, the
campaign In Idaho Is actively under
way. The occasion was one of warm
welcome to Senator Brady and one for
the sounding OF the keynote Of the
campaign by Attorney General Peter
son who discussed state issues and
taxation 10 a constructive way. Mr..
Peterson showed In the course OF his
address that II the state 70 vernment
were entirely wiped ont the saving TO
the taxpayer upon $1,000 valuation
would be the sum OF $2.l1. While
this was In no sense an arg ument for
waste In state expenditur es 1t was
concrete evidence that the solution OF
high taxes was not looked or at its
source when famboyant orators
sought to make the citizens Of Idaho
believe that their tax burt.en rested
upon state expenditures. Attorney
General Peterson indicated that the
source Of much expense lay In the
advanced school system OF the state,
the spending Of money for local i'm
proyements, the creation OF commits
sions, and the increased expe pditure
nf funds under the "cash value
system OF assessment.

DEADLoCKED ON The AlSBE
War In Europe Without New De-
lopments.


The military situation in France
up to the 9th, remained still with
out material change, after four
weeks Of indecisive battle. The
German and the allied armies are
still deadlocked in their entrenched
positions along the river Aisne,
through the forest Of Argonne into
the Vosges mountains, the entire
battle front extending $50 miles.
The Germans seem to be devoting
their energies to strengthening
their position and making occa-
sional fierce attacks in efforts to
find weak places in the French and
British line, and the latter, unable
to advance without great loss, are
contenting themselves with hold
ing their ground and hurting back
the assaulting columns.
The Russians report having de-
feated the Germans in q great
battle at Augustowo, lasting from
Sept. 20 to Oct. 5, General Rem
nenkamph, defeated in East Prus-
sia in the early part Of the war,
having returned to the attack on
the frontier. Berlin, however, re
ports successes against part Of
the Russian army. Appalling
weather is reported, cold torrential
rains making swamps Of much Of
the country and greatly hampering
the movement OF troops and heavy
artillery.
