SHOULD SLOAN's LINISLENT GO
ALONG?

OF course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles have
been exercised to the limit an appli-
cation Of Sloan's LIniment will take
the soreness and stiffness away and
get you in fine shape for the morrow.
You should also use it for a sudden
attack Of toothache, stiff neck, back
ache, stings, bites and the many ac-
cidents that are incidental to a vaca-
tion. I'VE would as soon leave our
baggage as go on a vacation or camp
out without Sloans Liniment." Writes
one vacationist: I'VE use it for every
thing from cramps to toothache." Put

year.
In order it is explained that rail-
roads may be placed on the same basis
of valuation as farm lands and city
property or so per cent, in northern
Idaho, the board agreed on five per
cent reductions for the Great Northern
Northern Pacific and Chicago, Mil
waukee & st Paul railroads. The
Great Northern valuation last year was
S., 34S ,030, the Northern Pacific, $12,-
23O, ESQ and the Chicago, Milwaukee l.
st. Paul, $685. 34 for that portion Of
their systems in the state of Idaho. The
five per cent reductions agreed upon
will result in taking that percentage
from the figures given above. Latah,
ShoshOne and Clearwater counties were
given 5 per cent decreases in timber
valuations which was further argu-
ment in behalf Of reducing the valua-
tiOns of the three railroads named a
bove, say members of the board.
1t was said Tuesday that it is not at
all probable the Oregon Short Line rail
road main line will be either raised or
lowered as to its valuation by the board
but some percentage may be taken off
from or added to the branch lines. No
other railroad, it is understood, are to
have their valuations changed The
valuation given the Oregon Short Line
system in this state last year, includ-
ing the main and branch line was
$50 ,S90,695.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR HERE

lieutenant Governor, Herman H. Tay-

foot last Saturday. He is one of the
northern candidates for governor and
says he feels as though he was going
to get the nomination. While exam
lining his political fences here he dis
covered that the Idaho Republican had
entirely overlooked his candidacy be-
couse, he says, he would not stand for
the $500 picture announcement. In
company with p. G. johnson he visited
this Office and made the following state
ment regarding what he termed an I'M
true and unjust statement.

REDUCTION IN THE
STATE TAX LEVY

The general tax levy for 1916 has
been tentatively fixed by the state
board of equalization at $55O,000 which
is a reduction of $4,000 over the Tax
levy for state purposes last year and a
reduction of $35O,OOO. For the past two
years it is a saving of amount Of this
years levy. Last year the levy was
$7OO,OO and the year previous the levy
was 100000. If the $55O,00O levy is
allowed to stand the board will have
made a record in reducing the amount
of funds needed to meet state expenses.
In addition the board will make two
other levies for the general interest and
sinking fund and the public building
fund.
While the board is still at work
equalizing valuations its records will
show it adjourned Tuesday. However,
it is practically impossible to finish the
vast amount Of work before the board
in 80 short a time and as result the
board must remain in session some
DAYS longer. This is the case every

HAD PLAN TO KIDNAP YOUNG
HARTMAN BY SHELLEY BOY

st. Anthony, Idaho, Aug. 2s.-Plans
to kidnap Roland Hartman, son Of Mrs.
+. II. Hartman, hold him for ransom
of 100000, and in case his ransom
was not paid, to blind the boy and other
wise difigure him for life, have been
frustrated by the arrest here of the
parties to the plot.
Three men, Marion A. Lufkin, David
McLoy and Ralph Zufelt, alias Ralph
Majors, are now in Jail charged with
conspiracy to go to Island Park, where
young Hartman is spending his vaca-
ton, kidnap him and hold him for ran
som. Two of the trio have made con
fessions to the officers.
Lufkin was arrested in Island Park
where he had secured a position as a
ranch hand, by Deputy Sheriff Hudson
on suspicion of being implicated in a
burglary here. When taken to Jail and
given the third degree, he denied the
burglary, but confessed that he went to
the ranch for the purpose of kidnap-
ing young Hartman and implicated
the other two men, giving all details
of the plot.
Later the other two men were To-
Gated in the northern part of the coun-
ty in the mountains i'll the region of
Kilgore, were arrested and brought
here and placed in Jail, when McLoy
also confessed. Zufelt denies being i'm
plicated in the affair.
The men were equipped with guns
| knives and on one was found the let
| ter which was to be sent after the
kidnapping, demanding the ransom OF
| 100000.
Lufkin was to notify the others
| when to come and carry out the plan
under his direction. His arrest pre-
vented the completion of the plan.
The men We're examined thoroughly
and while they could give no explana
ton of the letter found on them, MOI
any excuse for the ropes or the heavy
arms and ammunition, they were re
leased with instructions to get out Of
the country.

MEN WHO HAVE MADE GOOD

There are two state officials who are
certainly worthy of denomination
which they will receive if a majority
of the voters, irrespective of politics,
have watched their work during the
last two years. These two worthy and
unusually able public servants in every
sense Of the word, are George Barker
and John Eagleson who have made their
respective Offices profit instead of an
expense to the Taxpayers who will
prove themselves political ingrates if
they soon do not remember them at bal
lot casting time.
In discussing Mr.. Barker as an officer
the Idaho Falls Register says:
"Mr. Barker as state Official, in his
executive capacity has rendered SER
vice to the state worthy Of recog-
milton. It was on his motion that the
interest on the state farm loans in Ida
no was reduced from seven to six per
cent. The matter of the north and
south highway in Idaho-a highway
which when constructed will bring into
closer touch and better understanding
the far removed sections Of the state
from each other-is to be credited in
a very large measure to his efforts, as
he took the initiative in having the
state convicts work on that road, serv
ing in double purpose, building the
road and giving the state prisoners an
opportunity to work in the open. These
things of benefit have been done and
brought about through his efforts while
the good results to be derived have been
talked about others who should have
been equally interested.
HThe business Of the Office of the
secretary of state has been greatly in
creased during his administration and
the extra work has been accomplished
without any additional Office expense.
The automobile license law of the state
alone is many times what is was few
years ago, and enough to keep one
office busy.
"There is no criticism of the admin
istration Of the Office Of the secretary
Of state except on the part of those
ambitious to succeed Mr.. Barker, or by
those whom he has found it necessary
in the conduct of his business to OPP
pose.
'IMr. Barker as state official has
made good record and he and his
friends feel that in all fairness he is
entitled to denomination and elect
iOn.'

KANSAS CITY MARKET

Kansas City Stock Yards, Aug. %,
1916. Cattle prices declined around a
dollar hundred at Chicago last week,
40 to Is cents i'm st. Louis, and 30 to
60 cents here, losses due to a liberal
supply, and inability of packers to get
to run their plants to capacity. The
panhandle county got good rains last
week, and nearby territory checked its
loading because of the decline, facts
that resulted in run of only 10000
cattle here today, 10000 less than last
Monday. The market was active from
the start, and sales were 10 to 25 high
err than the close of last week, stockers
and feeders a quarter higher, all the
loss of last week regained on good
many cattle. Feeder buyers bounght
good many feshy steers, at $3.50 to
$3.50, and bid on many that they did
not get, which strengthened the market
all around. Grass steers sold at $500
to 500, fed steers up to $1,000.
Sheep receipts were 10000 head, most
" from Utah and Arizona, 1900 head
brought in by Swift included, these
originating at Hill City, Idaho. The
kinds, strong on feeders. Three loads
cry IdHIDS SUN dl PlV.-c StidISHt,
only Ga pounds, and not choice. Seven
| carsBryon lambs, Huntsville, Utah, sold
at $l0.25, 81 lbs average, with a 80
per cent sort to feeder buyers at 1915.
These feeders were not desirable, weigh
ing 60 pounds, and containing good
many wringly lambs. Choice lambs
would have brought 5000 to killers
today had there been any here. Top
in Chicago today is $10.4O, Omaha $l0.-
-. Fat ewes are worth up to $7.25,
vcthers $3.50, yearlings $500, breeding
ewes $50 to 5000, feeding ewes $500
to $3.50. Range shippers would get
better results if they would divide
their shipments were among the mar
els, and not concentrate so many at
Omaha, which market had $4,000 today.
Hogs sold Is to 20 higher today, fol-
lowing moderate loss late last week,
top 5000, equal to best price paid
last week, receipts 1000. Light weight
hogs, and medium weights brought the
top, heavy hogs up to $1O.75, bulk of
sales $10.40 to s1O.sO. Order buyers
bought one third the supply here last
week, and they took all the hogs ex-
cept about 1000 head today, making
a very fast market, everything sold
by $3.50 this morning. The sharp CON-
petition put prices here 10 to 90 cents
above the other Missouri River mar
kets today.
