The board of county commits
sioners finished their work Of
preparing a budget and making
the apportionment and tax levy
for the coming year Thursday.
Following their policy of improv-
ing the roads as much as possible
the commissioners put the gen.
eral levy for highway purposes at
the maximum, 2 p mills, which
is the same as last year. The
general levy for bridges was also
PLACED at the maximum, 4 mill,
the same as last year. This will
bring in S9,319 to be expended on
the county bridges.
In addition to the general levy
for road purposes the commits
sioners placed the special road
levy in each district at the maxi
mum of 215 mills. The two
levies together will raise S46,595
to be used for road purposes in
the county the coming year. This
sum, if handled with the same
economy and the same regard for
good results that the commits
sioners have displayed in the
rast, will go far towards putting
the roads in good condition.
The general school fund levy
was placed at 3 mills, which is
tlhge same amount as last year.
ie special school taxes have
ZEN greatly reduced as all school
districts have been placed on a
budget form and each has a large
balance of cash on hand.
The levy for the bond and in
terest fund is also the same as
last year, mill. The warrant
redemption fund was fixed at ~
of a mill, which is a reduction
from last year. This is made
possible because for the past
year Benewah county has been
on a cash basis and this levy,
which will raise about $1,000, is
made merely as a precaution to
take care of current expenses
which may arise between the
time the last bills are allowed
and the end of the fiscal year.
The levy for current expenses
shows a slight increase over last
year and the state tax is also in
creased, the levy for state pur-
poses being PA this year as
compared with t.6O last year.
For this reason the levy for state
and county purposes will be
slightly increased over last year,
the total levy being IA mills.

OFFICERS ARE GOOD MARKsMEN

San Francisco, July 16. Target practice at Fort Scott is nearing all end fer thu studen+ officers in the Reserve Officers Training Camp here. Tbs fifth and sixth compan- ies are the last on the list for this charac CT of drill. Many of the men have qualified as expert marksmen, which demands a score of '253.
 When these last two companies leave the range, every man in the camp, whose work has to do with such essentials of warfare as trench and open fighting will have had chance at the target. This range work is to perfect the candidate for a commission in both pistol and rifle shooting.
 So far the highest man has roll ed uu a score of 27S, which is 20 points above that required for the expert marksman's badge. To be sharpshooter a man must get score of 23S on the range. There are many who have passed this fig urer On the whole the shooting has to come up to he expectations of the men in chargee, the recruits showing keen desire to learn eY- cry angle of the target game.
