The assessors were of the opinion
that the assessments on lumber deal
ers and implement dealers had been
too low heretofore by reason of the
fact that both classes have very low
stock early in January, whereas, they
contended, other merchants have about
as much on hand at that season as at
any other. AS the law provides that
the value of stock shall be taken. as
on the second Monday in January, cor
on the day of assessment" it was de-
cided that this would permit read
iustment making the levy on dealers in
lumber and implements conform more
nearly to their average value OF their
stocks

REPLIES TO "STOCKHOLDER
AT END OF THE DITCH"
Hansen, Idaho, Jan. %.

IlduStll, lQdllO, ian. 20
In the issue of the Times for Janu-
airy 16 is an open letter to the stock
holders of the Twin Falls Canal COM
pany relative to cementing parts of
the canals and laterals of our irriga-
ton system. In reading this letter l
was struck by two serious defects in
the argument of the stakeholder at
the end of the ditch" First, he as
sumes that the question of cementing
is one to be decided by debate; to be
settled by the approval or the dis
approval of the stockholders. / am
not familiar with conditions along the
high line and the low line canals, but
1 do know considerable about condi-
lions along the main canal having
lived directly under the main ditch
for about eight years. From my per-
sOnal observation I can assure this
stakeholder that the matter of cement
ing or otherwise safeguarding the
main canal is not an academic one
to be settled by debate. While the
stockholders are debating, Nature is
working day and night to tear down
and remove the. banks. In the spring,

Sheep and Hogs Go Up Concession
Made To Auto Owners In Method
OF Making Levy.

Taxes in general will be assessed
on the same basis as formerly for the
year, according to George w. Will
cox, who returned Friday from Boise
where he attended the gathering of
the men who levy taxes.
Sheep have been tentatively raised
from "a to Sc, and fine sheep from
Sc to $40. Hogs have also been raised
somewhat. Although not specifically
stated it was understood that there
would be a tendancy shown to raise
the assessment of merchandise. An
arrangement with reference to auto
taxes was agreed upon, whereby those
coming into possession of an auto be-
tween January 1 and August l shall
pay for whole year; those buying a
machine between August 1 and No
vember l will pay only for a quarter
This was done to abolish the old sys-
tenn of charging taxes for a whole
year to those purchasing in the tenth
| or eleventh month. 1t was recon-
mended that a plate be placed on
both ends of cars to facilitate recog-
milton.

banks are soft and crumbly, the heavy
waves formed by the high winds cut
into and undermine them, and the
erosion begun by the waves in the
spring is carried on by the terrific
current of the full head of water dur
ing the summer The present sys-
tenn of fighting this erosion by rip
rapping with sagebrush is a make
shift, and like most makeshifts is I'M
satisfactory and expensive. If there
were absolutely no question of the
saving of water involved. it would still
be necessary to cement the main can
al, or else adopt some more permanent
and satisfactory system or rip-rapping
in order to save the banks from des-
truction.
The second defect in his argument is
taking it for granted that, if we should
decide to cement the canals and lat
erals for the purpose of saving water,
the water thus saved must be used
only upon lands for which water rights
have already been sold. He makes
the unwarranted assumption that the
lands at present irrigated on this
tract are entitled to all of the water
taken out at Miner dam This, how
ever is not the case. The lands al
present irrigated are entitled to five
sixths of the water originally filed on
for this tract; that is, to $500 of the
original 5000 cubic second feet. The
original filing of 5000 cubic second
feet was for the irrigation of 240,00C

Heston declared that if every youth
were given the chance he had to learn
football-to get the spirit of fair COM

police courts.
