country has ever known which the
writer believed would soon come 10
the west as a result of the activities
OF the east, especially along the lines
of the steel industry.
That portion of the letter which
speaks of this matter most emphati-
cally is as follows:
Il think that in the near future
we are going TO be in for the best
time in the whole history of the
country and here, especially in Pitts
burg. as we in this department ham
die kilograms of the officials stating
that some of our mills-a goodly por-
tion too-are booked up TO run night
and day now, and to continue for
from nine TO twelve months, and
others are starting to pile up orders
which means double turn, besides
any new business between now and
the next year. Prices are advancing
on bars, shapes, plates. etc. This
situation hereabouts will most GER
tainly affect even you out there to-
gether with the rest of the country.
Look to see next few years better
than any we have ever had. Capt

company occupy a somewhat differ
ent status. as they have been pat
ented.
a case known as the Boutwell, case,
involving the right OF the state to tax
Carey act lands, was recently decided
by the supreme court of the United
States and in this decision it was
held that the land was taxable. The
attorney contends that this decision
is not applicable to his clients for the
reason that the Boutwell, land had
been clear listed for patent before 1t
was assessed and patent was issued
to the state before the second Mon
day in January, when the tax became
lien on the land. In the present
case, title has not been earned, the
requirements of the law have not
been met and beneficial title remains
in the government.

Beware of Illegal Vinegar.

From the fact that there is large
amount of vinegar on the market
that does not reach the required test,
the following circular letter has been
issued by the pure food inspector of
the state, to all wholesalers and re-
tailers:
at has come to the attention of
this Office that there is large
amount of illegal vinegar on the mar
ket. This has come about by the use
of the grain test and the assumption
that 40 grain vinegar is 40 per cent
vinegar This is a mistake. Indeed,
nothing under 81 grains can safely be
assumed to pass the standard of 4
per cent of acetic acid by weight, un-
less it has been tested in the per cent
system. Due TO the influence of tenn
perature on this test, it will require
SO to 54 grain vinegar to come up
to standard during the cold months.
Manufacturers have been notified
of the conditions and this Office has
offered to cooperate with them in
every way possible to correct the
above condition and it is believed all
are taking steps to that end.
In order that wholesalers and re
tailers may be able to protect them
selves. it is suggested that a two
ounce sample be sent to the State
Chemist, Boise, Idaho, for test. Thi'
should be done in the case of all vim
egar received after August 1st, 1915
1t should be realized that this viii
entail an enormous amount of worl
in the office of the state chemist an
that report will be made as quickl
as possible Samples should be sen
Immediately on receipt of this motto
as they will be tested strictly in OF
der of arrival.
, Wholesalers and retailers foun
handling illegal vinegar after the re
ceipt of this notice must be who'll
responsible for same.
In sending samples, be sure the
are very plainly marked with III
name and address of sender and bes
; sufficient postage, as otherwise 1t wi
be impossible to test them.

TAXATION OF CAREY LANDS
An Action to Set Aside Assessments
i'm Gooding County.
(Gooding Leader.)

An action which, Il successful, will
take a large area of agricultural
lands from the assessment rolls of
Gooding county and materially re-
duce the county revenues, was filed
in the district court last Monday by
Wendell attorney for various Carey
act settlers under the North Side
system near Wendell. This action is
in the form of a petition for writ
of review and asks the court to re-
view the proceedings of the county
officials through which tax liens were
created against the lands of the
plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are Mary
Roberts Barrett. Carrie {. Roberts,
Hugo F. Arnold and E. A. Kenny, ''tn
their own behalf and in behalf of all
persons similarly situated" The de-
PENDANTS are the county commission
ers and the assessor, auditor and
treasurer.
1t is alleged in the petition that
the plaintiffs are the holders of
claims under the Carey act, in the
segregation of the North Side Twin
Falls Land & Water Co., and that
their lands were assessed for taxa
tion in the years 1911-12-1S and IA;
that the taxes became delinquent and
the properties were sold and tax GER
tifcates issued to Gooding county
and that the county auditor is about
to issue tax deeds to the county.
1t is alleged that the taxation o
these lands is illegal and void for th'
reason that the government has is
, sued no patent on these lands and thu
r title still remains in the government
= that the conditions contained in tn
: Carey act and the rules and regula
/ tions of the interior department hav
.. not been fulfilled; that an ample sup
: ply Of water for the reclamation o
= the lands has not been furnished an
3 that by reason of these facts neithe
e the plaintiffs nor the state of Idah
t are entitled to patent.
= Judge Boutwell, has issued an OF
der, citing the county officials to Gel
tify the record of these assessment
to the district court and restrainin
o them from further proceedings in tn
l. foreclosure OF the tax liens again:

ton from various other stations, Is

Survey as soon as practicable after
the completion of the field work, and
will be gladly furnished to any. per-
son desiring 1t.
Triangulation, besides connecting
the various large public surveys
throughout the country. is of direct
benefit to many people in the terri
tory through which It is extended by
its connections with the local land
surveys and the city surveys. The
stone or concrete posts set in the
course of the work bear the same re-
lation TO triangulation as the blazed
trees and cornerposts bear to the
ordinary land survey. Before any
future work can be begun 1t is first
necessary TO recover one or more
marks from which TO start. To pre-
vent the destruction OF these marks
the assistance of the people living In
the vicinity of a station is earnestly
desired
