There are other branches of sheep

This business has survived through

AN APPEAL FROM
BINGHAM COUNTY

date of January 9, 1911, the date on
which the lands were patented to the
state. Boutwell, refused to pay these
taxes and on his protest suit was
brought.
Contention Of State.
"There is no question of the regu-
larity Of this assessment said Mr..
Peterson, ''and no question of its uni
formity with other assessments in the
same taxing unit. The only question to
be determined is whether there had
passed to the plaintiff in error, on or
prior to January 8, 1911, such title to
his land as would make the property
taxable on that date''
He then showed that there are two
methods by which Carey act lands are
patented. Under the original act pat
ents can be issued to the state or to
its assigns whenever the state furnish
es satisfactory proof that particular
lands are irrigated, reclaimed and
occupied by actual settlers.' In 1897
the act was amended to provide that
patent may issue to the state "when
an ample supply of water is actually
furnished in substantial ditch or
canal without regard to settle
ment or cultivation. - The state of
Idaho, said Mr.. Peterson, followed the
second plan of making proof and Sc
cured a single patent in its own name
for the entire tract, including the
Boutwell, entry. Had the state adopt.
ed the first plan, he showed, a patent
might readily have been secured for
Boutwell, soon after he made his final
proof in May, 1909.
Boutwell, Owned Land.
The state, however, exercised its
lawful option, did not elect to ask for
patent on the Boutwell, entry at that
date, but waited until the project was
completed and then sought a single
patent for the entire area. But, con
tended Mr.. Peterson, Boutwell, having
done all that was required of him in
May, 1909, and having earned his pat
ent on that date, became the euuita-
BILE owner of the land as of that date.
and the naked title only was in the
state of Idaho, as agent for the fed
eral government. This being true, the
Attorney General contended that the
Boutwell, land was subject to taxation
in January, 1911.
Moreover, for more than a year
prior to the filing Of the original com
plant in this case, he showed that
Boutwell, was in possession of his pat
ent from the state, and has never been
disturbed in his possession of the
property. Rather, he enjoyed the pos
session of a full equitable title from
June 70, 1909 up to its assessment in
January, 1911, but rather than pay
$685. he invited litigation to Justify
his own contention that his land did
not become taxable until he received
his patent from the state.

NEW LAUNDRY FIRM.

G. f. Sandholtz and w. w. Davis of
Denver and Salt Lake City, who have
purchased the Black foot steam laundry,
are evidently enteprising and exper-
fenced men in their business, and will
give Blackfoot one Of the best equipped
laundries in the intermountain country.
They are expecting carload of the
most modern machinery, and their col
lar machinery has no equal. 1t is their
intention to do work that cannot be sur
passed anywhere, thus preventing the
work that is being sent away to remain
at home which will mean about 5000
placed in home circulation, that will be
a benefit to everybody, as their pay
roll will amount to several hundred
dollars month. Messrs. Sandholtz &
Davis takes hold of the laundry on the
18th, when the name will be changed
to the Gem State Laundry, when they
will introduce cash system that will
give their patrons a 10 per cent. dis
count by selling them $500 coupon
that will be both convenient and eco
nomical. The people of lackfoot, espec-
tally the business, men should give this
new firm their financial and moral sup
port as it means about $4O0 every
month will be placed in circulation.
