The Orofino Tribune must have
taken the election terribly to heart.
In their table last week they cut
Hinckley's majority 106 and Jack Har-
Ian hundred. Perhaps smaller ma
jorities will somewhat sweeten the
bitter dose. Very we'll, just as long
as the Tribune will give the republi-
cans enough to get control of the
county, and thereby wean off the Tri-
bune from the public teat, we'll not
complain. 1t is real kind of the gen.
tlemen to concede even small major
ity, and we are thankful for small fa-
vors. 1t might have been embarrass-
ing for the Tribune to admit the truth
all in one bunch.

COUNTY FAIR BUSINESS
AS ROTTEN AS USUAL

We thought so much had been said
about the 1918 county fair report that
the secretary would surely tendto bus
mess this year. |. n. Grow was
reelected as secretary, over the pro-
test of citizens who had only the best
intreest of the county fair at heart,
and TO insure that he might be able
to look after the bust hess promptly
the directors created theIoitice of man
ager, relieving Mr.. CHOW of all but
the clerical work of his office. But
with what purpose? Here ii is the
middle of November, long after the
fair is forgotten, ard the business is
in exactly the same deHlorable condi-
tlon 1t was last year Premiums
have not been paid although the cash
was long since turned oyer to the sec

Why not attend to the business and

IDAHO SUPREME COURT SCORES
CLEARWATER COUNTY ASSESSOR

tentional and unlawful valuation" of
the property, and the undervaluation
Of similar property of others situated
in the county.
In its own language, the court $
opinion on this point is as follows;
When the assessor does by syste-
matte, intentional and illegal methods
assess one owners property at more
than double what he assesses other
property of the same class and value,
he perpetrates a fraud from which a
court of equity on proper application
will relieve. Here is alleged an il
legal and fraudulent discrimination
on the part of the assessor in making
said assessments; that he did not ex-
ercise the judgment required by law
to be exercised by him in making such
assessment.
Said assessments were designed
to operate unequally and to violate
fundamental principle of the constitu-
tion and statute and equity may prop
erly interfere to restrain the opera
tion of this fraudulent and illegal ex-
ercise of power by the assessor. Said
assessment was not made because of
any defect or difference of judgment,
but made Intentionally and illegally
in order and for the purpose of effect.
ing an unjust discrimination against
the property so assessed.
ut is not question of mere differ
ence of opinion as to the value of the
property, but it is a question of nc
opinion or Judgment at all as to it.
value. 1t is admitted that it was
made Intentionally and illegally al
more than double what other property
of the same kind was assessed
AS to the jurisdiction of the matter
the court says that it twill not in
terfere to correct mere errors Of judg
ment as to valuation of property
since value is matter of opinion, bu
where the allegations of the complain
show that the officer had failed to ex
ercise his judgment and by an ar
bitrary and capricious exercise of tn
authority has fraudulently attempte
to defeat the law instead of enforc
it, court of equity will relieve agains
such illegal and fraudulent action
of an assessor.

Boise, Nov. Finding that the
assessor of the county of Clearwater
willfully defrauded the Northern Pa
cific railway company in making his
valuations as basis for the collection
of county taxes, the supreme court has
handed down an opinion reversing the
decision of Judge Steele in the second
district, who upheld the demurrer of
attorneys for the assessor and dismiss
ed the action. The case was sent
back for trial. The title is the North
ern Pacific against the county of Clear
water.
Assessment of 400 acres Of land,
owned by the railroad company in
Clearwater county, at % per cent
more than its actual cash value while
other and similar land about it is val
ued at 80 per cent less than its actual
cash value, formed the basis for the
railroads protest.
1t was admitted by the demurrer,
tlfat such was the case but the dis
missal of the matter was asked on the
ground that the objection had been
made tosthe board of equalization and
had been turned down and that the
court had no jurisdiction in the mat
ter.
Relief in the nature of an order re-
straining the collection of the assessed
taxes on it's land, for the preliminary
injunction to restrain the tax collector
of Clearwater county from placing the
property on the delinquent list or from
selling it for the delinquent taxes is
asked by the railroad company. Upon
the dismissal of the case in district
court, the company appealed.
AS his reason for dismissing the
case, Judge Steele said that he was OF
the opinion that fraud was not alleged
in the complaint and for that reason
the complaint did not state facts suffi'
cient to warrant court of equity II
taking jurisdiction of the matter.
Chief Justice Sullivan dissents from
this view of the matter and in his
stand he is upheld by Justice Truitt
The supreme court takes the view that
the use of the word fraud is not neces
sary in the complaint. 1t believes
that the complaint satisfies this con
dition when it states that the discrim
| nation is due to the systematic, in

Expert Accountant Will
Continue State Investigation

Boise Capital New s.: That Axel
P. Ramstedt, special examiner ap-
pointed by Governor Haines to invest
igate the state treasurer's depart
ment, will probably be relieved from
detail in connection with this investi-
cation, so that the can give more of
his attention to the tax and public
utilities commissions, through the ap-
pointment by the governor Of an
other, became known today. The
governor has under contemplation the
appointment of an expert accountant
of Chicago. He proposes to go to the
bottom of the treasury steal and get
all of the facts in connection with il
before his term of office expires, il
possible.
The designation Of Mr.. Ramsteadt
to handle the probe which resulted ir
the former treasurer's arrest and con.
fession, was but a temporary arraing-
ment and so understood at the time.

fade and pass into the great beyond.
The Clearwater Republican, in
spite of our better judgment, just to
show our good intentions, and for the
sake of harmony, laid down and ac-
cepted the reelection Of l. r. Grow
as secretary of the fair. We devoted
weeks of our time gathering samples,
and gave of our time and money to
the end that the fair might be a
success.
Without our labor Clearwater coun-
ty could not have competed at Lewis
ton and could not have won the
sweepstakes and the $50 at Lewiston.
We say this in no boasting spirit.
1t is fact. 1t required every spear
of our sheaf exhibit to make the ex-
hibit, and we cheerfully co-operated
in the work. 1t ought to be all the
proof needed to convince the public
that we had the interests of the
county at heart, and that we are not
now unjustly complaining.
We are anxious to see our county
fair grow. We want to see things
move smoothly and agreeably. There
fore we are insisting that the secre-
tary attend to his work. He knew
what he was doing when he forced
himself into the job. He fought for
it. He begged and promised to de-
liver the goods. And he has made
the usual dismal fizzle.

The work of the tax commission at
this time of the year is becoming
heavy and needs the attention of COM
missioner Ramsteadt.
Aside from detail there has been
no new Developments in connection
with the looting of the treasury
vaults, SO far as could be learned to-
day. The exposure of the manner in
which former treasurer O. v. Allen
juggled the two bond issues, the peni-
tentiary issue of $685. 900 and the ex-
perimental station bond issue for
$6, 900, has resulted in search being
made for the two original issues Ct
these bonds to settle the question
of whether Allen actually burned
them or re-sold them. This search
has revealed nothing SO far. Instead
of being burned, if Aliens statement
is correct, the two original issues
should have been marked cancelled
and filed in the treasury vaults as
part of the records.

May Start Logging.

1t looks like the timber companies
were making start to operate in
Clearwater county. There have been
rumors all fall, since the forest fires
destroyed so much of the timber, that
the owners would begin at an early
date to log at least the burned areas.
This week a crew of half dozen
surveyors left Orofino for the North
Fork section, in the vicinity of Big
Island, and will survey the river for
dam sites, and make other data neces-
sary in logging. 1t is known that
the Weyerhaeusers have been inves-
tigating mill sites along Snake river
below Lewiston, and from reports
leaking out it is believed work is te
start the coming year. 1t now looks
like Clearwater county would not gel
another mill, but we will get the ben
eft of markets created for farm pro.
duce the minute men are put in the
woods to log off the lands. And i
looks like business was to start al
once.
When once started it means years
of this industry, for the timber re
ources of Clearwater county are 81
immense that it will require lonl
period of time to handle the presen
crop. Let us hope that work is real
ly to start. The people need tn
benefit of home markets, home labo
and the increased business that will
ensue.

JUDGE STEELE HOLDS
DISTRICT COURT SESSION

Judge Edgar c.. Steele opened the
regular session of the district court in
Orofno Monday morning. The court
ANNOUNCED that he would not call jury
at this time. and all jury cases were
put over till January when the court
will convene. The jury cases con-
sisted of two civil damage cases and
three criminal libel cases against P.
L. Orcutt. County Attorney Hols-
claw filed the criminal informations
Monday, and the defendant, Orcutt,
was arraigned at four O'Clock Thurs
day afternoon.
The case Of Mary E. Windsor VS..
Lizzie Mckay, ct al, to quiet title,
was dismissed on motion of plaintiff. ;.
The mortgage foreclosure suit of

was decided for plaintiff.
The application of Robt. l.. Mastin

interest was shown was the Maynard
Brown divorce case. Judge Steele
won the approval of thinking people
when he refused to premit the attor-
ney for the defense to unnecessarily
embarrass women who were forced to
give nauseating testimony. The wit
ness was saved the humiliation of
giving details. The Brown divorce
case is the outgrowth of the Snod.
grass murder in which Mrs. Brown
was involved in more or less scandal,
and the relations between Snodgrass
and Mrs. Brown were brought out ir
the divorce court this week. The
court granted Maynard Brown di
vorce, and ordered the property equal
ly divided. Of the three children the
divorced wife was given the custody

L. Stannus Is Dead.

Mrs. L. Stannus was in Orofno
over Sunday. Mr.. Stannus died last
week and was buried in Lewiston,
and she came here to look after busi-
ness interests. At the time of his
death Mr.. Stannus was living in Col
vile, and was formerly in business in
Orofno. There is an interesting story
connected with Mr.. Stannus. He is
said to have been the first white child
born in Idaho, the mother giving birth
while in an immigrant wagon in the
neighborhood of Pocatello. At that
time Idaho was barren wilderness.

while the two older boys were given
to the keeping of Maynard Brown s
mother. When the court rendered
the decision relative to the children
the mother broke down and was still
visibly distressed when seen on the
street an hour later. Judge Steele
ordered that the children be kept
within the jurisdiction of the court,
and made it plain that the court would
keep careful watch of the little ones
that if in the judgment of the court
there was evidence that the children
were not receiving proper care the
court would interfere and make other
arrangements. Each of the parents
are permitted to see all the children
at their pleasure.
In the mortgage foreclosure of E.
j. Force vs.. Henry Snyder, decree
for plaintiff was granted, including
5000 attorneys fee.

the Fidelity Bank VS.. C. w. Miller
was continued.
Mabel Smith was granted divore
from George Smith.
Judge Steele will open court ir
Lewiston Monday morning. The
court expedited matters with all pos
sible haste, following his usual prac.
tice of keeping down unnecessary ex-
penses for which the taxpayers must
settle. 1t is said that Judge Steele
has, by care and attention, saved the
people of his district many thousands
of dollars during the sixteen years hi
has presided on the bench in the Sec
ond judicial district.

icine in question is actually useful in
all of these affections. For this
reason it is usually best to void terms
covering a number of ailments such
as "skin diseases, kidney, liver and
bladder affections etc. Rheuma-
tism, dyspepsia, eczema, and the
names of many other affections are
more or less comprehensive, and their
use under some circumstances would
be Objectionable. For example a
medicine should not be recommended
for rheumatism unless it is capable
of fulfilling the claims and represen-
tations made for it in all kinds of
rheumatism. To represent that a
medicine is useful for rheumatism,
when, as Matter of fact, it is useful
in onlyone form of rheumatism, would
be misleading. Such statements as
"for some diseases of the kidney and
liver" ''for many forms of rheuma-
tism," are Objectionable on account
of indefiniteness.
Names like ''heart remedy, - "kid-
ney pills." "bone liniment," +" lung
balm," and other term involving the
names of parts of the body are objec-
tionable for similar reasons.
A. Tes monials. s.-Testimonials
aside from the personal aspect giver
them by their letter form, hold out 3
general representation to the public
for which the party doing the label

fact that testimonial is genuine ant
honestly represents the opinion of thu
person writing it does not justify it

sion with regard to the results whicl
the medicine will produce. No state

Manufacturers OF Medicines
Must Hereafter Tell The Truth

In answer to many inquiries as to
proper labelling for medicinal prepar-
ations to comply with the food and
drugs act as amended, the depart
ment, through the bureau of chemis-
try, has issued the following sugges-
tions to makers and proprietors of
medicinal preparationgs:
/. Claims of therapeutic Effects
A preparation can not be properly
designated as specific cure, remedy,
or recommended as infallible, sure,
certain, reliable, or invaluable, or
bear other promises Of benefit unless
the product can as a matter of fact be
depended upon to produce the results
claimed for it. Before making any
such claim the responsible party
should carefully consider whether the
proposed representations are strictly
in harmony with the facts; in other
words, whether the medicine in the
light of it's composition, is actually
capable of fulfilling the promises
made for it. For instance. if the
broad representation that the product
is a remedy for certain diseases is
made, as, for example, by the use Of
the word remedy" in the name OF
the preparation, the article should
actually be a remedy for the affec.
tions named upon the label under al
conditions, irrespective of kind and
cause.
2. Indirect statements. Mot only
are direct statements and representa-
tions Of misleading character objec
tionable, but any suggestion, hint O
insinuation, direct or indirect, or de
sign or device that may tend to con
vey misleading impression shoul,
be avoided. This applys for example
to such statements as has bee
widely recommended for" followe
by unwarranted therapeutic claims.
3. Indefinite and sweeping terms
Representation that are unwar
ranted on account of indefniteness @
general sweeping term characte
should be avoided. For example, tn
statement that preparation is ''fc
kidney troubles conveys the impres
sion that the product is useful in tn
treatment of kidney affections genel
ally. Such representation is mis-
leading and deceptive unless the met
