OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The general tax levy to meet state
expenses, the maximum of which was
fixed at 500, 900, is .0O180O5519 for the
state of Idaho as against a levy Of
.002116669 for last year to raise $780,
900. Announcement Of this levy was
made late yesterday by State Auditor
Fred L. Huston after making the ad-
justments on the rolls as required by
action Of the state board of equaliza-
ton at it's recent session. In addition
there is predatory animal tax levy
consisting of .0o3 on sheep and .000h
on stock. There is little charge in
the total assessed valuation for the
state. The general tax levy shows q
slight reduction.
The auditors department had its
worst trouble in the distribution Of
public utilities valuations owing to
the act calling for localizing Of valu-
atoms in counties whereas the former
law had apportioned the assessment on
a mileage basis.
Equauxed Valuations.
The total equalized valuations in the
several classes of. property as ad-
justed by the state board Of equaliza-
ton and complied for the fixing of the
several levies as announced by the

ApOPLEXY SUDDENLY CLAIMS
HARRY TAYLOR, OF ARCo.

Harry Taylor, who for the past few
months has instructed the Arco band,
was found lying on the floor of the
Murray cabin above town last Sunday
evening in an unconscious condition
and passed away that night about l
o clock, without gaining consciousness,
death being due to apoplexy.
Booze had the upper hand on him
and for the past few days before his
death he had been on a spree. Satur-
day night he left town about IL o.
clock for his home, about four miles
above town and nothing was seen of
him until the next day when Bert Muir
ray, who lives a short distance from
his cabin, went over to spend the
evening with him. He found Taylor
lying in the doorway in an unconsci
GUS condition and as soon as he dis
covered what serious condition he
was in, he came to town for medical
assistance.
DR.. Fox made hurried trip to the
scene, but the patient was so far gone
at that time, that no hopes were held
out for his recovery and he died at
o'clock, death being due to apoplexy
caused by the over use of intoxicating
liquor. The condition the body was
found in, indicates that Taylor had
gotten out of bed early in the morning
presumably for drink Of water and in
trying to get back into the house, Stun
bled against the Threshold and struck
his head on the floor, causing slight
wound on his forehead. He had evil
IDENTIFY tried to get up several times
as his elbows were badly bruised as
though he had fallen to the floor. He
was clad only in his underwear and he
had probably been lying there the great
er part Of the day.
Mr.. Taylor was quiet man, and had
very little to say of his past or of
his family, other than that he had a
daughter living in Oklahoma. In look.
ing over his personal effects it was dis
covered that he has sister residing
at Wichita, Kan, but as she only
J signed her given name to the CORE
spondence, message could not locate
her. Among his effects was an insur

The average farmer Of today finds
many places where good gas en-
CINE saves time and labor. An engine
mounted ON a truck ensily pays for
itself on a farm and in this way can
be kept in almost continuous use. A
farm engine must be reliable and easy
to repair. Its cost should be judged
with these two things in mind. A
troublesome cheap engine means II
poor investment; however, there is No
object in buying an expensive engine
when u medium priced machine will
do as well.
Il might be Of interest To see what
one can purchase an agricultural en-
CINE for. As result of nm investiga.
ton made recently. il is found that
the average price of gas engines
ranging from l to 10 horse power.
varies from 1873 for ! horsepower
engine. $50 per horsepower for q
horse power engine, to $33 per horse.
power for a 10 horse power engine.
This indicates that in proportion to
the amount of power you get il Is
cheaper to buy an engine from to
= horse power. In these sizes tn,
cost is practically stationary at APP
proximately $40 per horsepower.
that is. n 4 horse power engine would
cost SIG. Extraordinary variation
in prices is found in American gas
engines, ranging from ~ to $40 per
horse power above and below the nv.
crage price given here. or in other
words the maximum selling price OF
n horse power engine was found
Ia be all the way from $S4 to STAG.
There are many reasons why this oc.
ours which cannot be given in II pm.
per Of this kind. II might be- said.
though. that there are in these grades
low priced good engines and engines
made to sell at low price regardless
of lasting qualities. There are also
good engines but expensive to build
and there is no doubt that many are
not worth the price asked. One fact
stands ont. however. that rs the IN
ted speed for which IN engine is
built increases. the cost decreases.
This is because the size and weight
If all parts decrease with speed. or
course. there is n limit ut which high
speed makes necessary greater re-
tinemcnt in construction and there
fore increases the cost. Engines
running between limits of $50 and
400 revolutions per minute in sizes
from 10 G horse power should be
better investments than nm engine of
either lower or higher speeds.
