BERT REEDS REPORT
Represented KOOtenai County
Before State Board.

In report to the county COM
missioners, Bert A. Reed, prose-
cutting attorney, who represented
this county before the state board
of equalization, gives an account
of what was done by the state
board affecting the valuations and
the taxation of Kootenai county.
Being unable to induce the new
state board to correct an error Of
the old board of 1916, by which it
is claimed Kootenai county lost
$500, 900 valuation on the plant OF
the Washington Water Power
company, Mr.. Reed filed with the
supreme court an application for a
writ of review of the proceedings
of the state board for the year
1916, returnable Nov. S, 1917.
Besides securing reduction OF
S2oo, 900 in valuation extended to
the city of Harrison, Mr.. Reed
induced the board to agree to a
more equitable valuation on house
hold goods, furniture, fixtures, ETC.,
thus securing, according to his
figures, saving of five to seven
thousand dollars to Kootenai
county.
Mr.. Reed states that the boards
attention was directed to the fact
that there were more than three
million sheep in southern Idaho,
whereas only two million have
been assessed, thus causing a loss
to the state, and, by permitting so
much property in the south part Of
the state to escape taxation, shift.
ing an unfair proportion of the
state tax burden upon the northern
counties.

KILLED IN ACCIDENT
Paterson Of Spokane Crushed
Under Auto.

E. C. Paterson, a Spokane merchant,
was killed by the overturniug of his
alto just south Of the N. p. railroad
crossing about mile west OF Rath-
drum Monday evening about 1920
O'Clock. The body was brought To
q. W. Stones undertaking parlors
where 1t was cared for until con
veyance arrived to take 1t TO Spokane
early Tuesday morning. Coroner j.
q. Dwyer was called from Occur d.
Alene, and 10 the absence OF both the
Rathdrum physicians, Dr. B. F.
Campbell was called from Post Falls.
They decided an inquest was not
necessary.
Mr.. Paterson's wife and five young
children and niece, who were with
him in the auto, escaped injury with
the exception of a few bruises sus--
tained by Mrs. Paterson. They were
cared for at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
G w. Remer until Tuesday morning.
r. E. Young, cashier Of the Rath
drum State bank, returning from a
trip out Of town, discovered the over
turned car and Mr.. and Mrs. Pater-
son pinned under It, and procured aid.
Trainmen lifted the car, Winton-
Six, with jack, releasing Mrs..
Paterson and enabling the body OF
Mr.. Paterson to be removed. The
latter's chin was fractured and his
chest crushed. Death is believed to
have been almost instantaneous.
The car was badly damaged. A. A.
Berges Of the Rathdrum Garage took
charge OF IL aud 1t was later towed to
Spokane.
Mr.. and Mrs. Paterson and family
had been staying at their summer
home at Twin Lakes since August 5
and were on their way back to Spo-
kane preparatory to. the opening Of
school. They took the Trent road
out OF Rathdrum but left it a mile
west OF here turning south on a
section line road which has been used
only recently by auto tourists to reach
the Apple way. The railroad cross.
iog where the accident occurred is
considered bad one, the approaches
b.ing steep and the grade narrow,
and the car after crossing the tracks
ran of the grade on the left side and
turned over. The drop was only
few feet. A freight train was ap.
preaching from the west and IL is
supposed Mr.. Paterson may have
glanced at 1t and thus failed to see
the slight turn IN the road as he
guided the car down the south
approach after clearing the tracks.
1t is also believed possible that the
!, loose soil was partly responsible for
the heavy car leaving the road.
AS stated above this road is one
not usually taken by tourists, but has
been used by only few recently,
presumably to avoid dust on the more
fr. quenied Ross road which goes
south from Rathdrum.

Mrs. Alvin Remission for the murder
of the child. During the recital the
witness mother. Mrs. William ker-
win of Reading. Mass. tainted and the
trial was temporarily halted while
she was taken from the courtroom.
kerwin's Testimony
Kerwin, who is a relative of the de-
PENDANT and has pleaded guilty to be-
ing an accessory after the fact to the
crime, testified that Mrs. Remission
woke him in the middle of the night
of July and asked him to accom-
pany her on a walk up the road. He
did not understand the object of their
walk. he said. until they reached a
spot some distance from the house.
Here Mrs Kenniston. according to
Kerwin. suddenly stopped and pulling
aside some evergreen boughs. showed
him the body of Alice Bradshaw. At
the bidding of Mrs. Kenniston, ker-
win testified that he carried the life
less form of the crippled girl up the
lonely country road in the darkness.
They had gone about a mile, ker-
win testified. when they observed a
light far up the road, coming toward
them. Kerwin said he became fright

Germans Overrun Livonia

With the Russian front already
broken over distance Of about A.
miles between Riga and Friedrich
stadt' the province of Livonia is fast
being overrun by the Germans. Ev-
eryWhere the enemy is pressing the re-
treating Russians among whom the
disaffection that permitted the easy
taking Of Riga daily becomes more an
parent.
Although the Russians have fallen
pack with great speed all along the
line, 1t seems evident that they have
not been put to rout and that trn
loyal troops are fighting splendid rear
guard actions. This seemingly is
horne out by the fact that the Ger
man bag Of prisoners thus far has
been less than 5000 and their capture
in guns only $50.
Germans May Attack RevaI
An added menace to the situation of
the Russians is contained in an unof-
Hclal report that a German fleet is
maneuVerlng at the entrance to the
Gulf Of Finland. If true, this might
indicate that Germans are preparins
for sally into the gulf with the oh :
1ecting of attacking Reval, the forti
fed seaport in the government of
Esthonia, and bottling up the Russian
ships inside the gulf; or even of pro-
ceeding after the Russian feet and at .
tempting to destroy it, which accon
plished would leave Kronstadt and

the enemys guns.
