The Tax Hindrance.

Writing about Los Angeles, Calf,
the editor of the CGur d'Alene Press
says:
/ have briefly enumerated the
above to give the readers Of the Press
some idea of what the city is. 1t
claims population of 600, 600 and it
is within any memory when the pop
ulation was but 28,0OO It is modern
in every sense OF the word.
The property owners complain Of
high taxes aud we thought they must
be suffering from the blight which
keeps CGur d'Alene back and Is its
greatest hlndrance. Asked what The
tax rate is here we were shocked to
learn that the complaint is based on
! taxation of So. 80 on each 500 assess
ed valuation and that the property
assessment is but 33B per cent of the
cash value which makes the actual
tax paid but 995 cents on each 500
and by inquiry we have found that IL
many cases the property is not as
sessed at more than 25 per cent o
actual value.
The only hope for prosperity ant
advancement ia CHur d'Alene lies II
big reduction In taxes and the cit.
will not come into its own until thi
is accomplished.

HEALTH TALKS
(By DR.. R. R. Daniels.)
Hot Weather Hints.

Too much heavy food rather than
the water is the cause OF our summer
sickness.
Jellies and sweets OF all kinds ARE
heat-produclng foods. In the sum
mer they ouly make the hot weather
seem hotter.
About the only time water really
hurts Is when 1t is iced or when we
drink 1t while the stomach is digest.
Ing meal.
Plenty Of sleep, moderate diet with
but little bread, meat and potatoes,
and no alcohol nor coffee. make the
hot weather comfortable, and sun
stroke almost impossible.
Those suffering frcm tuberculosis,
anemia and other depleted conditions,
would do well to expose daily the
upper part of the body, stripped, to
the suns rays. Begin with few
minutes aud increase to an hour.
Woolen underwear in summer even
, though 1t Is light weight, is the
height of bad hygiene. Wool absofbs
rapidly the poisons thrown out
through the skin. thus, In summer.
after an hour, the man who wears
wool is wrapped 10 mantel of his
, own waste material.

The Man Who Advertises

There are but two classes Of mer-
chants-those who advertise, and
those who do not. The man who
advertises has the best of the deal.
He keeps himself before the public
he keeps his wares before the public
and he keeps their quality and price
uppermost In the public mind.
People talk about man who adyer-
tses, because they know he has
something worth advertising-or he
wouldn't advertise.

mated by Chairman F. L. Farms
worth that $27oo of the revenue
required would come from water
rent and other sources and that
nine mill town tax levy would be
necessary to raise the balance
The board adopted the nine mill
levy on a valuation of S268, 900.
This is one mill more than year
before last.
The budget was freely discussed
before being adopted. w. A,
Hart, taxpayer, entered a pro-
test against the appropriation OF
5000 to the band. He declared
there was no law to justify such
expenditure of public money.
Chairman Farnsworth admitted
this, saying he had made inquiries
at Coeur d'Alene and found that
although the council there had at
various times made appropriations
to the band, the city attorney said
there was no law for it. Mr.. Hart
contended that where protest is
entered such an appropriation can
not be legal. w. ]. Tucker, a
taxpayer, defended the band, but
said he did not see why $1,000 was
being set aside for "public i'm

what kind of improvements were
contemplated. Chairman Farms

 Advices from Seattle state that there is a record breaking movement of freight between Puget Sound and San Francisco. The steamer Ali ance, owned by the Independent Steamship company, has been char tered to carry flour and wheat from Puget Sound to the California port. The Admiral Farragut of the Pa ped one trip to Southwestern Alaska to enable her to make two trips to San Francisco.

STRONG FREIGHT MOVEMENT SOUTH Steamers are in Demand to Carry Freight Between Puget Sound
 and San Francisco.

The Seattle Times of recent date states that the freighters Bennington and Burlington, recently purchased by the Alaska Steamship company, for service in the Southwestern trade, are now being converted into oil burners and will leave Philadelphia on January 15 for Puget Sound. They will make the voyage via the Magel- len straits and are expected to reach Seattle about the middle of March.
 It is also stated that the company has received offers for chartering the Nome steamer Victoria for service on the San Oriental route, with Hongkong as the Far Eastern terminus. This is the route, in which the Victoria was operated years ago when she was chartered by the Northern Pacific railroad in conjunc- tion with the Olympia and Tacoma. The latter steamer was caught in the ice near Vladivostok while trying to run the Japanese blockade in the Russo-Japanese war and fell an easy prey to one of the Mikado's war ships. She was seized as war prize and was sold by the Japanese gov ernment. Since then she has been operating under the Japanese flag as Sikotan Maru.
