FARMERS COOPERATIVE
HOG SHIPMENT TOPS MARKET

Topping one Of the big markets
Of the country is an unusual thing for
an ordinary farmers shipment of
logs, yet this was recently done by
part of a carload of hogs shipped
comparatively by twenty-three Pom
totoc county farmers aided by county
agent c. NJ. Holland. There were
113 hogs in the car which was
shipped to the St. Louis market and
retted the farmers about $500.
This report was just brought in
list of the Mississippi A. & NJ CocfIsS
who states that this is the first in.
stance where a cooperative shipment
of grade livestock from Mississippi
has topped the market, and speaks
we'll of the future of the cooperative
shipping plan which is rapidly
spreading throughout the state. The
business men and bankers Of Ponto-
toe county are giving their support TO
the local shippers, and plans are un-

this year to 100 cars.
These bankers are nov aiding In

A CIVIC

D., Prof. of Secondary Education.l
The happiness of the individual oil
the present day is bound up in COM
| munal life. No citizen on his own
account car protect himself against
| abuses and impositions from many
sources. His security lies in organ
zation and cooperation with his fell
lows. Especially is this true in the
larger centers.
Water and milk are everyday
needs of the people. Health and
No community, which does not pro
vide for the inspection and analysis
of its milk and water, is secure
against c%ontagion from these sources.
Modern intelligence regarding COM
mon diseases dictates that each COM
munity should engage the services of
a scientific analyst. No wiser invest
ment can a community make. than to
install a well-equipped scientific lab
oratory for this important civic need.
This fact is recognized by many COM
munities, but a practical means has
not been worked out for the setting
up of such a service. Now, a feas-
IDLE way Of handling this question
would be to establish at the city High.
School a Civic Laboratory, in charge
of a competent scientist, who would
be ut the same time city analyst and
head of the department of science in
the High School. For the money in
vested in equipment, and for the sal
airy of the chemist, the community
would by this plan reap a double ben
eft.
This official should be employed
on a twelve months basis, and would
need to be paid something like
$4,000. He could spend his fore
Moons during the school term in in
structional work. and his afternoons
and holidays in civic service. Dur
ing the summer when the city needs
for analysis of milk and water and
other services in sanitation are the
heaviest, he would be free of all
school duties.
Under Ibis arrangement, the city
would have not only the means of
testing its milk and water, but could
tested also the kerosene oil used
by the public. This officer could
likewise be charged with inspection
Of weights and measures. In the
communities of the state,
would need to be an assistant
this department.
Besides the economy and efficiency
to be secured by this arrangement,
The combination would be a good
in itself in both directions.
This union of the High School and
he city government in important civ
c service would have a wholesome
on the attitude of the youth
oward the city government; and tho
ity government would secure a full
II service from it's schools. The
chools would be brought into closer
ouch with the life about them, and
he pupils, by being associated with
his practical and vital use of science,
nay well be inspired to greater in
.ustry in their own efforts.

The certlucate OF NdludJlOu,
apportionment and assessment
OF the state board of equalization
regarding Benewah county was
received by the county auditor
Thursday. The valuation of
standing timber in this county
was increased ten per cent, which
amounts to $4,000. The rail
road assessments were left the
same as they were last year.
The valuation of the Western
Union Telegraph company was
lowered slightly but that of the
Continental Telegraph company
was increased $33.75 per mile.
AS that company owns $50 miles
of wire in this county the in
crease amounts to considerable
and brings the total valuation of
ali telegraph companies up to
$4,000 more than it was last
year. The telephone companies
were assessed at the same rate
per mile but additional wire mile
age makes an increase i'll the
total valuation of $1,000.
The valuation of the distribu-
ting system of the Washington
Water Power company last year
was S55,623, to which was added
$4,000 for the st. Maries Light
& Power company, a subsidiary
!, corEoration of that company
Sf4s year the total value of the
distributing system, including the
ST. Maries Light & Power COM
pany, is $it5,9S3, or an increase
Of S3O,36O.
Another large source of re-
venue which was increased are
the private car companies, CHIEF
of which is the Pacific Fruit EX-
press, with a valuation of S59,-
63O. The total increase in the
valuation Of these companies
over last year is $4,000.
The state tax this year will be
slightly higher than last, this il
part being due to the increased
valuation. The total valuation
upon which the county commits
sioners will base their levy this
year is 50, 9,3i9,I86, as agains
s9,OO6,3 1888 last year, or a gain O
s3i2.798. Another reason foi
the increase in the state taxes il
the addition by the state legisla
ture Of two new funds, the stat
highway redemption fund o
s9OL.42 and the fund for tn
bounty on gOphers of the sam
amount. This is a straight lev
of one-tenth of a mill on all tax
able property for each fund.
The state taxes will be slight
higher this year, the raise in tn
valuation being not quite enOug
to offset the increase in tn
taxes. The town of Plummer ha
certified a levy of p mills thi
year as compared with 19 mill
r,last year, and the tax certitie
by the city of st. Maries is ais
higher, being 18 mills as agains
i3 mills last year. The count
commissioners will meet ne'
week to set the county tax.

long to a man named Johnson,
who is in Iowa, and the mayor
stated that the street had been
widened, cutting off 20 feet of
the property, to which the city
has no title. The matter was re-
ferred to the street and alley
committee.
w. II. Zeiglitz presented a pc
tition asking to have the bridge
on Second street at the foot of
Capitol Hill raised from six to
eight feet and repaired, stating
that the bridge is in a dangerous
condition. In order TO secure
speedy action on the request sew
eral of the signers of the petition
agreed to donate one days work
each and the use of several teams
to help in the work was also
lOfIered. The matter was referred
to the street and alley committee
which instructed City Engineer
Parker to make an estimate OF
the total cost of the work, in
cluding the lumber necessary,
and submit it to the committee.
Water Commissioner Jerry Nc
Garter reported that The dirt on
top of the Thorn Greek dam,
which had been washed away, has
been replaced at a total cost of
about $500 and the dam is now
in shape to have concrete put on
TO protect the dirt and prevent it
from washing out. The clerk re-
ported that the deed for 40 acres
on which the Thorn Greek dam is
located had arrived and it was
ordered placed on record.
An ordinance was passed which
amends the present water ordin-
ance and orders the installation
of meters by all water users. The
Ordinance provides that all con-
lsumers must be put on a meter
land also provides that where con-
sumers refuse to install the
lmeters the city will refuse to
supply them with water. The or
dinance fixes the price to be
charged the consumers at the
actual cost of the meters plus the
cost of installing the same, il
paid for in cash at the time OF
installation, and an additional S5
if paid for i'm monthly install
ments, which are to be collected
with the water rent. At the pres
, ent time the city has a contract
, for $50 meters at SI1.iO each anC
2 the cost of installation is said tC
be $500, which makes the cost tC
the consumer Si5 if paid at th'
7 time of installation and Sl8 j

When discussing this question

j from that body to be present a

I was rather disappointed that tn

No matter how many newspaper

body talked for the paper houses or

Iowa had the 81 weekly. The pub
