High Praise for jerome Hotel.

OF course Governor Alexander was
entertained at the North Side Inn
while in Jerome on business last
week. and his opinion of this popular
hotel, upon returning to Boise, was
voiced to the editor OF the Capital
News, who says:
Speaking of hotels and accommo-
dation OF modern hostelries, Gov.
Alexander declared today, following
his return from Jerome, that he su-
cured hotel and room at the leading
hostelry in that city that made him
think he was in New York and had
just registered at one of the hotels
on Fifth Avenue expecting TO pay
81 a day for his accommodations.
That does not look like the north
side project is on the verge of becom.
ing defunct." said the governor. The
hotel accommodations at jerome are
as good if not better than you cal
secure in most any town much larg
err

Manager Steele has been very for
tunate indeed in being able to secure
for the attraction at his theatre on
Christmas night the great five part
photo drama, Hearts in Exile"
founded. on the novel by the sane
name.
Clara Kimbal Young plays the
part, in this drama, of Hope lv0ao-
vria, beautiful Russian girl in the
tragic position of being lawfully Ear-
ried to two men both of when are
sincere in their attachment to her.
But irrespective Of its purely IRA
matte interest, the picture makes
wide appeal to those who are inter
ested in the aspects which the vast
European-Asiatic Empire presents
to them. The Great Northern Empire
STILL it is said, condemns its politi-
cal and other prisoners to exile in
Siberia. Life in its convict stations
is hard and tyrannous. We see os-
sac fights and a real wolf chase.
Many of the scenes were taken With
snow on the ground and ice on the
water and the frigid aspects of Rus
sia-Siberian life are shown i'll the
film.
? One of the most sensational Incl
dents of the story is the pursuit OF
| one horseman by another on a froz-
: en- river There is a fissure in the
- ice and the foremost horseman plum
2 ges head-long into the water and Is
followed by his pursuer. When mis-
part of the picture was being made
the two men and the horses were al
o most drowned and frozen to deati
by the terrible experiences thro 81
which they passed.
- Remember this attraction come
" Saturday evening, Christmas nich'
at which time the prices will be l
and 20 cents.

The Idaho Irrigation Co. has filed
a suit against Gooding county for the
recovery OF about $500 OF taxes
paid under protest for the years 1913
and 1914. on the ground that Its
property is exempt from taxation.
In the past II has been the practice
OF all couties in southern Idaho In
which Carey act projects are located
In whole or in part. to assess their d.
version works. reservoirs. canals and
distributing systems on the basis OF
the unsold portion OF the water
rights When the water rights are
sold TO the settlers and the settlers
receive their final certificates the
value OF the water rights is assessed
against the settlers, becoming part
Of the valuation OF the land. A plan
was worked out by the state tax com
risaion under which the unsold por'
tions of system was pro rated over
the canals on a mileage basis ahu
each company has taxed the canal'
within it's boundaries on this oasis
In the recent decision the supreme
court held that the property oi Oare'
net companies could not be taxed ah'
under this decision the companies are
demanding a return OF the taxes ina
have been paid.
I, is expected that the North sid'
companv will make a similar demah'
on GoodIng county, and TINS 'oun''
may also have to pay back its por'io'
of the taxes collected by old Lihco''
county before Gooding county wa
created. All this will make big ho'
in the county revenues, which mus
he made up by an extra tax on IN
s.,,lors and other property owners

Lost Confidence I'm Land Board.


That the Salmon tract settlers are

land board is the sentiment voiced by
number OF north side residents who
are here this week attending the trial

Tiers Protective Association on the
north side. said. in speaking OF the
state board. that Il had shown mel

the board would be on the north slue
today for the alleged purpose OF con
sldering conditions. the only lhior-
nation that the settlers had received
was through the newspapers as no
invitation had been extended 10 'he
union or to it's individual members TO
be present. The meeting seems 10

port OF the Irrigation and Drainage
Commission which made number OF
severe criticisms relative to the wa

among other things suggested th"'

the company denied the truth OF the
statements of the commission WIN

them slanderous and demanding "

should be had. but that inasmuc"

The actions of the land board nave

William Wagner, of Jerome, Ida.
took three varieties of potatoes he
grew on the farm of William Jen-
nings Bryan at Jerome, to the agri-
cultural fair in Michigan, and with
them swept the boards. They were
Melted Gems, Idaho Rurals and "Peo-
pies" The latter variety was intro
duced into the state by the depart
ment of agriculture and have been
found wonderfully adapted to the
lava ash soil.
The fair at which the Idaho pota
toes carried off the honors was opeI
to the world, and the triumph of thu
Idaho product is probably the great

General Supt. w. A. Whitney of
the Oregon Short Line at Pocatello,
is saying that Idaho farmers are so
prosperous that present prices OF
grain and potatoes offer no induce
ments to sell, and much of this sea-
sons crop is being stored to await
higher prices. This Independent po-
sition is largely due to money re-
ceived for beet crops. Loading of
grain and potatoes has fallen off con-
siderably during the past two weeks
thus tightening the demand for cars

Butter at s25 a pound might have
been possible in the days of the Klon-
dyke, or in Idaho City so years ago,
but to pay that price in this day and
age would seem almost improbable.
Yet it was done at Jerome last Mon
day when at the opening of the
creamery there Gov. Alexander was
able to buy the second pound of but
ter sold and he paid just exactly S25
for it, The first pound was auction
ed off for S26. In addition the gov
ernor purchased number of other
pounds at the regular market price
and has them at his home. He says
that if anyone wants to eat some
good butter they can call at his resi-
dence and he will be glad to present
them with pound of the first lo'
