roofing is all right, but cut out the

The question of cutting in two of
a school district has come up. A re-
cent ruling of the supreme court in
cases from the new counties of Power
and Gooding held that: "Should any
school district be disorganized by the
creation of county, by reason of
the boundary lines of the county divid-
ing such district, the people within the
district as it existed prior to such di-
vision may keep their district in eX-
istence as it formerly was by the
creation of a joint district as provided
by section so of chapter 159 of the
1911 Session Laws of the State of
Idaho. The power vested in the
board of county commissioners with
relation to the creation of, and chang
ing the boundary lines of school dis
tricts by the general laws of the state
is not effected by the creation of new
counties, and even though such act
makes provision for disorganized ter
ritory such provision is cumulative and
does not divest them of their power
under the general laws"

W. M. Findley, road supervisor of
the district south of town, is the in
ventor of road drag which is a great
improvement over the old appliances,
even of the well-known King road
drag. He has been giving it test the
last few days on the road to Freeze
out and it works perfectly. The drag
is V shaped and consists of two
heavy pieces of timber shod with
sharp steel blades. The opening of
the V is to the front and is wide en-
ough to take in the ordinary wagon
road. By means of lever in the rear,
it may be raised or lowered. Mr..
Findley uses eight head of horses to
pull it. 1t cuts down the dumps" in
the road and fills up the depressions,
leaving a surface as level and smooth
as a floor The machine is inexpen-
sive to construct. 1t has been pat
ented.

What will the taxes be? That is a
difficult question to answer. Senator
Bowman, in his speech last evening,
made the statement that much depend
ed on the county commissioners and
the county attorney. When Adams
county was created two years ago, he
said, it had valuation of only 81, AGO.
600, and people predicted ruin and
bankruptcy. Today, that county is
free from debt, has no deficiency war
rants, has cash in its treasury, has
built roads and bridges that it was i'm
possible to get in the old county, and
none of them would vote to return to
the old county if the question were
submitted to them. 1t is safe to state
that the tax rate in Gem county will
in no case exceed that of old Canyon.

Senator Bowman, an Adams coun-
ty farmer, is enthusiastic for small
counties, after having seen the results
in his own county. They bring, he de-
clared, a more centralized government,
a more equitable distribution of the
taxes and a closer scrutiny of the eX-
penditures. The people are more un-
tied and contented. The country
draws settlers and development of the
resources are more rapid. The tran
saction of business is facilitated and
property takes on more stable value.

One of the principal causes that
created the demand for Gem county is
the unequal distribution of offices and
taxes in Canyon and Boise counties.

MINING SUIT Of
GREAT INTEREST

BUTTE. Oct. 1S.-With expert wit
nesses, mining engineers and geolo-
gists of national reputation and an
array OF counsel that includes some
of the most eminent cXponents of min
ing law in the west, gathered in
Butte for the trial of the suit of the
Clark-Montana Realty company and
the elm Orlu Mining company against
the Butte & Superior Copper com
pany; an action involving conflicting
claims to mining ground in the Butte
district, started before Judge George
NJ. Bourquin in the federal court this
afternoon. The case constitutes what
is perhaps the most important min
ing litigation tried before court in
this state in many years, involving as
it does mining ground of great value,
as well as the value of Tres hereto
fore extracted from the area in dis
pute.
Rapid progress was made in the trial
this afternoon, due largely to stipu-
lation of both sideh that dispositions
having to do with priority of location
and possession from 1875 to 1882
would serve in lieu of testimony OF
the witnesses. All of the dispositions
were read into the record in less than
an hour, whereas examination of the
witnesses doubtless would have con-
sumed two OF three days
1t was with the phase of priority
OF ownership that the testimony of
today dealt in the main. Pioneer
miners and prospectors of the Butte
district were represented either in
person or by deposition.
