RETURNS FROM
BOISE MEETING

County Assessor William c. Reid re-
turned Friday evening from Boise
where he had been attending the meet
ing of the assessors of the state, called
by Governor Davis, to meet with the
state board of equalization and consid-
er the valuations for the coming year.
The meeting was well attended, all
county assessors in the state being
present with the exception of three.
AS the result of the meeting no
changes were made in the valuations
for this year, with the exception of
the valuation put on sheep, which was
reduced from $500 to $500 per head
The bill introduced by Senator w. s.
Walker, providing that the county as
SCISSORS should make up the tax rolls
of personal property and collect the
same did not meet with favor and it
was thought by those present that the
bill would not be passed. Mr.. Reid
states that a new bill is being pre-
pared in lieu of this one which pro-
vides that the assessors shall make up
the personal property rolls and turn
the same over to the treasurer for
collection, and that, where the proper
ty included in the roll, is migratory
in any degree, the assessor shall notify
the treasurer in time to enable the
latter to collect the taxes before the
same shall be removed from the coun-
ty.
The matter of county assessors col
lecting agricultural data for the state,
as they have been doing in the past,
was discussed, and it was the sense Of
the meeting that new bill be intro
duced providing that this information
be collected by the county agents in
counties where such officials exist, and
that where there are no county agents,
the county commissioners shall APP
point a suitable person to secure the
information for the state.
Mr. Reid states that winter wheat
in southern Idaho is up and looking
fine and that sowing of spring wheat
has already commenced. The farm
= ers of south Idaho are anticipating a
big year.

VETERANS WANT
TO COME HOME

The following letter was received
by the Herald this week from Irving f.
Kranz, sergeant Battery c., 146th
Field Artillery, A. Il. f.
January 4. 1919
Grenzhausen, By Coblenz, Germany.
Editor Boomers Ferry Herald:
Just got through reading an edi-
torial in the X. V. Times in an issue
dated November %, 1918 in which the
editor stated that the soldiers would
not all be turned loose for a long time
and seemed to be propagating the
idea that it would cause an undue in
crease of laboring men. Now, / wish
it could be explained to us why we are
to be the goats after doing a little
more than our share. We gave our
time, risked our lives, lived in dug
outs and slept in mud and rain, went
without eating, all for the U. S. A,
and now a man comes out and says
that we should be kept over here
Why don't they send over or keep
those that are here now that never
did their bit for this job? We wish
to know why the fighting army should
do the occupying also?
/ OF course we hear that the press is
supposed to express our peoples
wills and thoughts. But does it,
Do our people care so little for we
volunteers that bore the brunt of al
the battles and covered the American
arms with glory at terrible loss II
lives, that they don't want us home
We feel we should return first, not thu
S. o. S. veterans.
Now | wish we could hear if you
and our people agree with the K. V
Times editor about keeping us Owe
here He said we had nothing to d.
but have a good time. Well, his idei
of a good time and ours are quite diff
ferent, if this is his idea of a goo'
time. Been here for over year AM
no passes for anyone. This is fin
country and we are in a town of 300
. inhabitants, about six kilometers iron
Cobentz and the center of the grea
pottery industry. Only a short dis
lance from here to where Delft war
, is made
Well, must close now. Hope thi
:, is all right.
: Irving f. Kranz.
! Sergeant Kranz is certainly correo
in his assumption that the wishes c
, the men who have ben in the thick {
: the battles in Europe should be res
l., pected. If these men desire to com
home and are not in accord with tn
program to keep them in a foreig
country, it is only right that they b
? given the chance to come home. The
!. should be entitled to every considers
!. ton and their wishes should be re-
: pected.

Ask Ninth Judicial District

A bill which contemplates the crea-
ton of the ninth judicial district and
to be composed of Boundary and Bon
ner counties was sent to Boise last
week for introduction in the state leg
islature.
The change contemplated would in
effect divide the present eighth judi.
cial district with one judge each fol
the eighth and ninth districts instead
of having two judges for the present
eighth district which comprises the
counties of Boundary, Bonner, Koot
enai and Benewah. Under the provis
ions of the bill Boundary and Bonner
counties would embrace the ninth dis
trict and Kootenai and Benewah thu
eighth district.

Fire at Motor Supply Co.

H. B. Montgomery of the Motor
Supply Co. had narrow escape from
bad fire Monday afternoon about
two o'clock. The fire caught in the
rear part of the shop. At the time
Dana Brother, Mr.. Montgomery
assistant was out in the front part
of the store, when he noticed smoke
issuing from the rear. An alarm was
Immediately sent in and the depart
ment responded. Before they arrived
A. Leytze brought 4 couple of pyrene
fire extinguishers from the DEBORAH
Furniture Co. and with the assist
ance of AL Anderson did some very
efficient work in putting out the
blaze. The blaze got in between the
floor and roof of sleeping porch at
the rear of the building on the
second floor, but the fire department
soon put it out. No water was
thrown in the store. A considerable
amount of vulcanizing material and
rubber was burned, and the loss
will probably be around $500. The
building was not damaged, only
part of the rear wall being scorched
some.

WILL MAKE HOME IN OREGON.
MIR. and Mrs. Geo. Hislop Leave For
Their New Home Next Monday


Alderman Geo. Hislop, Decorah's
veteran printer, has laid down his
stick and resigned his position in the
DEBORAH Republican, after forty-seyen
years service on that paper. He got
out of the harness Saturday night
and next Monday will leave with his
wife on their way to Portland, Ore
gon, where they will make their
future home. They will go from here
to Caldwell, Idaho, to visit daugh-
ter, Mrs. Hazel Simms before pro-
ceeding to Portland where their son
Stewart and two other daughters re-
side.
Mr.. Hislop came to DEBORAH IN
1865 and has been a resident here
"A years, and we may add that dur
ing all those years he has been
mighty good citizen. Mr.. Hislop hal
always been quite active in politics
for many years. At the present time
he is member of the City Council,
from which office he will resign at
the council meeting tonight. Before
West DEBORAH was consolidated with
the East Side, he was member OF
the West Side council for many years.
He also served on the school board
and was one of the township trustees.
George has always been a conserve
tive fellow and has tried always to
give the best of service possible in
the different offices he has held.
For the family to break up ties of
over fifty years standing will no
doubt be hard for them, but the fact
that they will be living near three
of their children, who were DESTROYS
of having them with them, will hello
them materially to enjoy life in their
new home.
The many friends of this estimable
couple will join with us in wishing
them Godspeed on their journey to
their new home, and that they may
live many years in the enjoyment of
life and prosperity.
On Monday evening the DEBORAH
lodge of Odd Fellows and the Re-
bekahs rendered Mr.. and Mrs. Hislop
e most pleasing farewell. The affair
was a complete surprise to them. A
large number were present. Invita-

Mr.. and Mrs. Hislop were each
presented with some very beautiful
remembrances of the occasion.
Mrs. Hislop is charter member Of

she gave the name "Oneota" to the
lodge. Mrs. E. w. Cutting in a few
appropriate remarks on behalf OF
the Rebciahs, presented Mrs. Hislop
with Past Noble Grand Jewel.
Then Rep. Z. j. Hook on behalf Of
the Odd Fellows, presented Mr. His
lop with a Veteran Jewel, which is
| significant that he has been an Odd
Fellow forty years. Both gifts were
very beautiful and will be Ions
cherished by the recipients. Mr..
Hislop responded to the presentation
addresses in his usual happy vein.
