of One Of Idahos Great Irrigation Projects

Boise, Aug 24-A somewhat unique
course has been taken by the county
attorney 9f Boise TO secure for his
county reduction of the amount Of
taxes required for state purposes. on
Saturday, County Attorney Rhodes
asked for ad secured from the su-
preme court an alternative writ, which

state board of equalization will have
an opportunity of showing why a writ
of mandate should be issued compel
ling the board to make a serious and
radical departure from previous meth
DDS Of assessing the property of the
oregon Short Line. The application
for the writ of mandate recitated that
it has been the practice Of the state
board Of equalization the past to
assess the property of the railroad
company so that the mileage definate-
~ in each city, town, school and road
district and county is credited TO the
particular political subdivision in
which it is located. The petitioner
claims that this system is unjust and
asks the court for a permanent writ
compelling the state board of equan-
zation to first determine the total value
of all the Oregos Short Line within
the state, together with the mileage

railroad mileage within those units.
In the petition it is pointed out that
in Boise county only branch line of
the Oregon Short Line is run and that
this branch is assessed at a very low
mileage rate. while elsewhere the rate
of assessed values for the railroad
is much crater.

since Captain Patch wants it and
since he is patriotic enough to be-
come a member of the Idaho regiment

he ought to have the nomination and
election. Captain Patch is one o.

years been manager ofthe canning

him a safe and valuable officer in the

Americas First Opera.
The development OF opera in Amer

an inviting field. The first company
of real artistic worth was brought
here in 1925, headed by Manuel
Garcia. Adelina Patti made her first
appearance in New York city In 1852

First MUSIC In America.

When the English settlers came to
America and located at jamestown
they brought with them from their
home the songs they sang there
gay songs, cavalier songs, love dit
ties and countryside tunes; but they
made no attempt to adapt them TO
their new surroundings.
The stern, severe religious atmos-
phere of the New England colonies
did much for the beginning OF Amer
lean music, although the first efforts
were unpromising enough, since the
Puritans discontenanced all music eS
cept that Of psalm tunes. which were
probably sung in unison, as we are
certain there were no efforts toward
part singing at that time. Owing to
the scarcity OF hymn books 1t was
