up for q few years, there will be at
least an assessment that will be as
good as human mind, care and fore
sight can bring about. In the assess

taxing these public utility corporations,
there should be taken into considera-

amount of profit on the investment 1t
has repeatedly been said in decisions
Of court that cost is not always an ele-
ment of value and this Is frequently
argued before the state board of equal
ization.
"There should also be taken into con-
sideration the conditions of agricul-
ture as affected by fruit raising which
in Idaho during the year 1916 suffered
seriously from natural causes beyond
human control and l therefore believe
the assessment on all fruit lands should
be materially reduced. This Is based
upon the same line of argument which
has been taken into consideration at
every meeting of the state board of
equalization in the past which ! have

300 Die on Stranded

CHEFOO, Chantu Province, China, Jan
Correspondence of the Associated

Through the heroic efforts of Captain
Stampe, a Dutch officer connected with
the Netherland Harbor Improvement

who chung to the stornI-swept ship for
four days and survived Sne low tempera-
ture, were rescued.
Captain Stampe made repeated efforts
TO reach the grounded ship with tug
but was unable to get to ii for four
days. He finally got close enough ia
see that there were persons still alive
on the wreck and then reached the ship
at great danger to himself and his asso-
ciates.
The storm was raging so that he was
able only to save thirty persons on his
first trip, but he made n second dash
for the derelict and rescued all who were
still alive.

FLORIDA LOSES MILLIONS
As RESULT OF COLD
Practically All of Vegetable
Crop Dead and Oranges
and Grapefruit Suffer
lRr Associated Press.l

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, Feb. 6.-Re-
ports of damage to Floridas crops dur
ing the severe cold Of Saturday, Sunday
and Monday are just beginning to arrive
here in tangible form, and y IS eStimat-
ed now that the loss to growers will
amount into the millions.
1t is estimated that at least 10 per
cent of the vegetable crop of the state
was killed. All oranges and grapefruit
on the trees were frozen and in many in
stances the trees themselves were kill
ed. 1t is not expected that there are
many trees in the state that will escape
shedding their leaves, at least. Most
of the citrus fruit crop already had
been picked and shipped and the loss is
not near so great for the citrus fruit
growers as it would have been had the
freeze occurred a month ago.

morning registered &c degrees at its

had risen degrees and it continued to
