VALUATION REPORTED
FOR NEzPERCE COUNTY

Lewiston, Feb. 24.-The total
valuation of taxable property in
Nez Perce county for the year1914,
according to the tax roll just finish
ed, and after compilation by Coun-
ty Auditor and Recorder R. N.
Wright for submission to the board Of
county commissioners at their next
meeting, amounts to $16,O87, 1863.
This is a decrease of $79O,682 from
the total valuation for the year 1918.
It is estimated the levy to be
made will provide revenue approx
imately 100000, as last year
$287, ,226.56 was required. The
compilation of facts and figures by
the county auditor tells a most in
teresting story. Almost the entire
decrease in valuation between 1913
and 1914 lies with the assessment of
real estate and improvements, this
difference amounting to. $766,521
The real estate and improvement
valuation as fixed in 1913 amuonted
to $13, ,248,2 ,218; and in 1914, $12,-
4S1,6 ,697. Aside from this difference
there is little change in the other
valuations for the two years. For
instance, in 1913 the railroads, tele-
graph and telephone companies were
assessed at $2,435 1868, and in 1914
at $2,417,727. The personal prop
erty in the county for 1913 was
listed at $954,O9O; in 1914 at $685.
1855. Agricultural land in 1918,
$142, ,764; in 1914, $143,457. Past
ure land in 1913, $3.50, ,S75; in 1914,
$158.781. Timber land in 1913, $780,
437 lin 19l4.$29,373. Livestock, in
1913 s667 .655; in 1914 $711,455.
Widows, soldiers and sailors
exemptions in 1918, $427, ,28O; in
1914, SCI, ,795. The livestock entries
show that more common cattle, sheep
hogs were in the county in 1914 than
in 1913, the difference being as fol-
lows: Common cattle in 1918, 3453;
in 1914, 4261; sheep in 1918, 1874;
in 1914, ,7703; hogs, in 1913 5765;
in 1914, 6240. The increase in COWS
as shown is but 73 and stock horses
/ 20. A decrease of 80 is noted in
: the comparison in the number of
work horses. The segregation Of

Salt a Barrel of Pork

Pullman Tribune.-"Better put
down a barrel of pork now for use
next winter, for pork will cost real
money next year." is the advice Of
a we'll known hog raiser of the vicin-
ity of Pullman. For some reason,
not altogether unexplainable, the
difference between the prices of
wheat and pork have been of wide
divergence. AS a result all kind:
of hogs, ranging from skinny shoats
to good brood sows, have been dunn
ped indiscriminately on the market.
Packers have paid prices accord
ingly. Prices have gone down until
the lowest ebb for years was reached.
The country is nearly depleted OF
hogs. Next year the tide will turn
People must have pork and if the
supply is to be limited, as it will be-
prices must be high. Thus the mar
who has wisely counseled the people
of this section to prepare for high
prices is rearing more brood sow'
than ever and is preparing to real
more swine than ever next year
Even tho grain prices are high the
coming season pork will bring CORES
pondingly high prices and an equili
brium will have been established.

Enjoyable Event

Last Friday evening the freshmen
and sophomores,a "a bout forty strong,
gave party in the High school audi
torium, Miss Calkins acting as chap
erone. Games, contests and music
were enjoyed by all present. Punch
was served throughout the evening
and about eleven o'clock a dainty
and palatable luncheon was served
by some of the H Ugh school girls.
Guests other than High school
students were: Miss Grice, Miss
Knepper, Miss Beekley, Miss Louise
Flagg, Mr.. Howard Fenton, Frank
Foyer, and Mr.. Gibbs. The students
were disappointed because Prof.
Knepper was unable to attend but it
was found that Mr.. Ralph Knepper
served as very acceptable proxy.
All expressed themselves as having
had a delightful evening with the
hope of more to follow. These little
parties are not only instructive fol-
the students but furnish wholesome
entertainment for the young people
