PROBATE JUDGE
SAVES EXPENSES
COMBINATION OF TWO OFF,
GERS MEANS BIG SAVING TO
COUNTY TAXPAYERS

Probate Judge Nelson, who was ap-
pointed by the county commissioners
in April, 1917, has turned into the
treasurers office since his appoint
ment, as shown by the receipts in the
treasurer's office, the sum of $1671.11.
His reports as clerk of court, and as
filed in the auditors office show that
he has collected since April 8, 1917
to date, S1655.70, making total col
lections of $3326.81. The salary of
the office has been $1400 and Mr..
Nelson received no compensation as
clerk of the district court.
The United States government ev-
erywhere demands conservation of re-
sources and power; consolidation Of
work wherever it can be made is dj-
rected and demanded. The county
commissioners finding it possible
through Mr.. Nelson's long expert
ence as deputy clerk of court and his
efficiency to combine the two offices
and ask him to do the work that had
formerly required two persons, ap-
pointed one man, amounting to 1880.
At the April session cf the board
of county commissioners the salary of
probate judge was fixed at $1700, and
in fixing said salary the commits
sioners entered the following Of rec
ord in their proceedings: "In fixing
the salary of the Probate Judge the
Board concluded to continue the pol
icy of conducting the work of the
deputy clerk of court in conjunction
with the office of probate judge,
which policy has proved so success
full and accomplished a great saving
in expenses during the past fiscal
year, and it is expressly understood
that the Probate Judge is to also act
in the capacity of deputy clerk of
court"

STATE BOARD BOOSTS LUMBER
VALUATION IN LATAH COUNTY

Taxes on lumber in Latah county
have been raised 20 per cent by the
state board of equalization. This in
formation was brought to Moscow to-
day in message from the board at
Boise. The increase means the addi-
tion Of many thousands of dollars to
the amount of taxes paid by saw mill
and lumber companies in this county.
The increase is in addition to the 10
per cent increase made by the county
board of equalization, which means
about 32 per cent increase over last
years valuation.
The increase will apply to about
68,000,000 feet of lumber held by the
Potlatch Lumber company, at it's mills
and yards in the county, in addition
to that held in retail yards of subsi-
Diary companies. The amount of lum-
ber in the county to which this in
crease is expected to apply is esti-
mated to be between 75,000,000 and
10O,0OO,OO0 feet.
The county board Of equalization
raised the valuation of lumber for
tax purposes from S7.70 to SO per
1000 feet. An increase of 20 per
cent on this means that lumber is to
be assessed at $1,000 per 1000 feet
for 1918.
The levy has not yet been fixed
for the coming year. Last year the
levy for state and county purposes
was 12.4 mills, which meant $12.40
taxes on every $1,000 worth of prop
erty This does not include school
district municipal or road district
taxes. The state board of equaliza-
tion notified the local board that it's
increase of 20 per cent on lumber
adds $122,753 to the assessed value of
the lumber in Latah county.
The great part of the Potlatch Lum-
ber company's holdings are at the
town of Potlatch, owned by the COM
pany and not Incorporated. There is
no municipal or school district tax.
The company maintains the school,
owns the school house, as we'll as the
church and all other buildings. If
there is a deficiency of taxes to keep
up the school the company pays the
deficiency. The county's valuation of
the lumber held by this company was
S613,763. The Potlatch Lumber COM
pany is a branch of the Weyerhauser
syndicate.

STOCK SHIPMENTS
MUST Be HURRIED
RULES FOR SHIPPING LIVE
STOCK LAID DOWN BY FED
ERAL DIRECTOR

BOISE.-Stockme must keep in
/ close touch with the movement of the
empty cars, said O. o. Haga, federal
director of economy for Idaho, Sat-
urday, and have their stock at the
| loading point on the arrival of the
cars. This is absolutely necessary on
account of the demand for cars at
this season of the year.
1t is just as important to obtain
the highest efficiency in the move
ment of the stock cars as in the
movement of other cars and this can
only be done by keeping the cars NOV
ing, and it may be expected that the
cars will be awarded to those who are
ready to load when the cars arrive.
Better Thresh Now.
Farmers who are storing their
grain in the field without proper pro-
lection from rain or storm are as
suming an undue risk, says Mr.. Haga.
They had better go to little more
expense and get it on the cars now,
when the cars are available, unless
they have granaries or storage facil-
tiles at home, for while the cars are
now available, the demand is increas-
ing rapidly and as the threshing ad-
vances shippers may experience some
difficulty in getting cars promptly.
The director general Of railroads
recently advanced the rate on corn
from Nebraska to Idaho points from
IS cents to 81 cents per 100 pounds.
An effort will be made to get some
relief from this order, at least dur
ing the season of the year when the
bulk of the Idaho freight is moving
eastward, SO that we can develop the
return load" principle in the move
ment of railroad freight, and instead
of returning the cars empty there
should be some inducement for util-
izing them at this season Of the year
for hauling corn or other stock food
needed in the west.
Long on Corn, Short on Hay.
Where there is a surplus of corn
there is usually shortage of hay,
and the hay and the corn and the
stock must be brought together. This
can be most economically effected by
bringing the corn to the west, where
we have the hay and the stock, for it
is manifestly more economical to ship
corn than hay. Besides the west has
responded patriotically to the de-
mand to raise more wheat and there
will be a shortage Of hog feed which
can only be met by shipping it in
from the central states.
