Valuation Over
Nine Million
INCREASES VALUATION OF UTILITIES
Large Part Of the Personal Property Still Re-
mains to be assessed

County Assessor C. r. Reynolds
returned Tuesday night from
Spokane where he had been in
consultation with Dean Perkins,
secretary of the state board of
equalization over the valuation Of
utilities companies in this coun-
ty. He stated that he believed
that his trip would prove to be OF
much benefit to the county and
that the county would secure a
portion of the valuation of sever
al utilities companies which in
the report was given entirely to
Kootenai county.
He said that in the statement
sent down by Kootenai county the
Washington Water Power COM
pany was given the same valua-
tion for Kootenai county that it
was before the division and that
the same was true i'm regard to
the Interstate Utilities company
and the Western Union Telegraph
company and that neither of the
two latter companies appeared ON
the state auditors report as hav-
ing any property in this county.
He went over the matter care
fully with Mr.. Perkins and he be-
lieves it will be so adjusted that
} Benewah county will get its just
proportion. The valuations of
the companies will probably not
be changed but the apportion-
ments will be changed so that a
part part which now appears in
the report as for Kootenai coun-
ty will be transferred to Bene-
wah county.
With these changes which he
expects to see made and with the
addition of the personal proper
ty assessment which will be COM
pleted in November, Mr.. Reynolds
says that the total valuation OF
the county will be over nine mil
lion, or about nine million, three
hundred and twenty-five thousand
dollars.

regular meeting of the city cOun-
Gil was postponed until Tuesday
evening. The finance commit
tee reported the usual number
of bills for the month, which

ported the collections from fines
and costs for the month to have

sioner John Martinedis made his
report of the work done during
the month and reported expendi-

i. A. holland appeared before
the council and again brought up
the question of the city doing
something to afford the residents
Iof Capitol Hill a means of get
ting from their residences to the
city. He stated that a cOmmun-
ication had been received from
the lady owning lhe property over
which the only road to the city
passed, stating that she intended
to fence her property in the near
future and he asked the council
to have at least one Of the streets
leading to Capitol Hill opened al
once. After some discussion OF
the matter the question was re-

A communication was also re-
ceived from the ST. Maries Land
company Offering to sell the city
the north half Of lot l6 in Mea-
dowhurst tracts for a site for a
pumping station at the rate of
$500 per acre and also Offering
them a free right of way across
other tracts, which, with that Of
fered by Trueman & Wunderlick
would give the city a free right
Of way for its pipe line from its
proposed pumping station to
where the pipe crosses the st.
Joe river.
A motion was made to accept
the Trueman & Wunderlick pro-
posal and to reconsider the mo-
ton by which the city had pre-
viously agreed to purchase a
tract of Trueman & Wunderlick,
after which the proposition of the
ST. Maries Land company was
accepted. This closes the con-
troversy over the pumping plant
site and binds the city to build and
maintain its own pumping plant
and to locate it on the north side
of the st. Joe river at a point
above where the sewer from the
Milwaukee mill enters the river.
M. NJ. See of Spokane, repre-
scnting the Northwestern Fire
Apparatus company, was present
for the purpose of istYiDg. to in
duce the city to irS6sC-in som,
more fire apparatusA After con-
siderable discussion the city pur-
chased two forty-fve galloT
chemical tanks for fire protec-
ton. One of these will be sta
toned in each end of the cit!
so that they can be easy of ac-
cess in case of fire. These tanks
are on wheels and can be draw
by hand either on the streets or
along the sidewalks.
The question of a cement side
walk on the south side of Mail
street between Sixth and Seventh
streets was again brought up AM
! the council directed the stree
; commissioner see that the for
{ mer order to have the walk bull
5 be carried out.

The Governor
is Optimistic

started on north and south
railroad and getting along WE'LL"
This is the cheerful message
that has been received in Boise
from Governor Moses Alexander
who recently left for Boston, New
York and Washington in the in
terest of the north and south rail
road, to attend the governors
conference and to confer with de-
partment officials on Idaho land
matters at the national capital.
His reference to the north and
south road is the first heard from
him since he left for the east. II
is taken to indicate that any pro-
posalso ohe put before eastern, par
ticularly Boston flnanciers, met
with encouragement. 1t was ap-
parent before the governor left
for the east that he had assur-
ances of financial assistance.
1t was in connection with his
eastern plans that the governor
inspected the route of the missing
link in the north and south road
from New Meadows to Grangeville
with the special commission ap-
pointed for the purpose of secur-
ing valuable data and other in
formation as we'll as to seek cap
ital to make its building possible.
He was armed with this data
when he left for the east.
The message from the govern
Tor also states that he delivered a
address at New Haven, Conn.,,
Sunday at the Jewish temple to
the B'nai Birth lodge Horeb No.
% to a large and enthusiastic
audience which gave him a warm
reception.
Last Friday night he addressed
a record breaking audience at
Brooklyn. A sumptuous BAN
.Iuet was held before the services.
! The governor was escorted by
cadets, carrying flags, from the
sidewalk to the pulpit.
The governor will have a con-
ference with Secretary Lane az
, Washington where state matters
, with reference to lands will be
, considered. Land Commission
: er Day will be present at this con-
{ ference. He is now in Wash.
ington.

Fine Exhibits
At County Fair
FARMERS SHOW INCREASED INTEREST
Merchants Also Have Good Displays. Fair viii
Continue Saturday

Have you visited the county
fair? If not you should make
it a point to visit Il today. The
exhibits are extremely food and
we'll worth anyone's money and
time to see as they are by far the
best ever shown at fair here.
Owing to the rain the attendance
for the past two days has not been
what it should have been but
there was a fairly good crowd out
Thursday afternoon and again to-
day and with good weather this
afternoon and tomorrow there
should be a large turnout and
the fair should prove as success
full financially as it is otherwise.
The livestock display is not as
large as was anticipated but what
there is of it is very good. How
ever, the lack in that department
is fully made up in the vegetable
department where the display is
exceptionally fine, especially i'm
the Farmers Union booth The
Union certainly did itself proud
not only i'm their general booth
but i'm their ladies' booths up
stairs. In the art department
two pictures painted by Mrs. Max
wen, as we'll as the display of
fancy work, attracted much at
tention and favorable comment.
The entire art department and
the canned fruit and cooked food
displays attracted a great deal of
attention and are q credit TO the
exhibitors as we'll as those who
have the displays i'm charge.
The merchants of the city are
taking a lively interest i'm the fair
this year and the majority oil
them have good displays. Among
the merchants booths that att
lracied our attention particular
ly were those of the milwaukee,
store, Davis & Link, Z. M. Davi.
g. Sons, Geo. .O'Dwyer, O. r.. Han
ley, M. C Petersen, B A. johnson
4 Co., The Table Supply and th'
ST Maries Hardware company
The Mcmillan Furniture compan,
had an exceptionally fine eXhi-
bit and were awarded a specia
premium for the best merchant
display.
The Modern Box Factory's dis
play attracted a great deal of at
tention ahd the Monarch Min
is showing some fine specimen
of ore. A. =. Stickney has
good display of farm implement
which attracts considerable at
tention. The poultry depart
ment is represented by some YER
fine birds but the exhibits are no
so numerous as in former years
There were a number of eXhi
bits in the fancy dog department
and the visitors to the fair woul
not have been permitted to over
look them, even if they wished tC
as the dogs objected strenuousl
TO being confined and their pro
tests could be heard all over tn
grounds.

some screaming when the officers

that they retarded the officers in
their search as much as possible
and attempted to destroy some
liquor that was found on the

concerns were being unified so as to
knock out competition, but every
time that happened there was formed
a gigantic corporation, able to over
awe government and uuIlify laws.
He did not want to see anything of
that kind in Ireland. What he pro-
posed, therefore, was that the indi-
vidual farmers, instead of surrender
ing their holdings to the combination
certain to come in some shape or
other, should hang to them, but form
their own benevolent trust, based
upon the common good, instead of
capital and its gouged dividends.
In other words, COOPERATION.
Everybody said at once that the
thing was impossible. It never had
been done and never could be. The
old system of every man for himself
had bestowed upon the world all there
was of incentive and progress. Be-
sides, individualism was incorporated
in our blessed constitution. God save
the king!
But this man persisted. He was
one of those quiet, amiable men that
are endowed with perfectly hellish
persistence and never let up. He
asked the farmers in one district to
cease to spoil their butter market by
competing with one another and to
organize a COOPERATIVE CREAM
cry.
He held 20 meetings before he got
that started.
The first year his one cooperative
enterprise handled $21 1915 worth of
butter on the non-competftiVe basis.
Six years later there were rs cooper
alive creamery societies in Ireland
and the cooperative principle had
worked into banking and other lines
of business.
The man was now backed by a we'll
organized central association COM
posed of men that saw ahead saliva
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-06-24

them are organized in cooperative
societies that have grown out Of the
thought of Horace Plunkett, the wise
observer and persistent refomer.
When he began there wasn't CO.
operative society in all the country;
the Irish farmer was the typical in
dividualist of the world. The business
of Plunkett's one little cooperative
venture in 1889 was $21, S15. The
business of the 9S5 Irish cooperative
societies in 1913 was $16,665, 945. &C.
What has all this to do with the
war?
Well, it may have a lot to do with
the peace when the war shall be over.
There will then be two great, over
shadowing problems. How can peo-
pie manage to live in the terrific eco
nomic conditions that war will be-
queath? How can war be prevented?
Look, then:
The experience of the movement in
Ireland has definitely proved that CO.
operation is the answer to the first of
these problems and indicated that it
is no less the answer to the other.
Cooperation has increased the
value of the laborer's toll to himself
that is the great point, to himself,
not to his boss about % per cent.
1t has increased and vastly i'm
proved production. 1t has raised the
standard of living of every co-opera-
tor. It has provided more for him
and his family. 1t has eliminated
much waste. 1t has met the in
creased cost of living. 1t has greatly
broadened and frightened life. 1t
has reversed the economic descent of
the nation and started it up hill.
Il has united men in new, strong
bonds of friendship.
Here is the germ of the thing that
will heal the wounds of this war and
can make another improbable. 1t is
an example in little cooperation and

rangements should be made to have
plenty of pressure during the
night hours, and the city authori-
ties should adopt a rigid building
code and enforce it's provisions,
that all defective flues should be
replaced with standard flues and
that all metal flues be condemned
and ordered out. They further in
sist that there should be a garbage
ordinance on the statute books and
that all trash and rubbish, both
around the homes and the business
houses, should be carted away reg
ularly.
The fire department complains on
account of interference on the part
of automobiles when the fire alarm
is sounded. The chief says the
machines get in the way of the fire
wagon and impede it's progress and
endanger the lives of the firemen.
The chief of police stated this morn
ing he would hereafter arrest dri-
yers of automobiles caught speed
ing to fire unless they were TAX
ing a member of the department to
the conflagration. The traffic or
dinance has section demanding
that all traffic stop when the fire
team makes a run. Under this pro-
vision the police department can
make arrests in cases where drivers
of autos dash to fire in advance
of the fire wagon.
Beyond question rigid enforce
ment of these sections of the laws
would materially aid the fire de-
partment in prosecuting it's work
and the announcement of the chief
of police that he will hereafter
make arrests for violations along
this line should and probably will
be followed up by prosecutions.
