To Protest Raise.

Dave MCGOWAN returned yesterday
from Boise, where he has been attend
ing the state board of equalization.
He Immediately got in communication
with the County Commissioners and
tomorrow he and Commissioners Viii
helm and Pomeroy will go TO Boise
to protest against the 80 per cent in
crease of valuation on irrigated lands
in this county. The assessment rolls
of the county show that already the
irrigated lands have been raised
100000 above that of last year, and
with the addition of 80 per cent tack
ed on will make them greatly out of
with other counties. The
state levy this year will be about 81
on the Thousand and with the pro-
posed raise will make $4,000 that
Gem county will have to pay in state
taxes against $4,000 last year.

HRs LOSS BY FIRE
Starts in Warehouse and Dam
ages Large Quantity of
Goods.

Fire which originated in the rear
room of the Powell building, used by
Reilly & Co. as a warehouse. caused
a loss of between $4,000 ard $40, 10000
to the stock and approximately $500
to the building. The loss is parti-
ally covered by insurance.
The fire was discovered about mid
night by Sumner Whitney, clerk in
Mr.. Reilly's store, who was passing
by the Methodist church. Flames were
shooting out of the rear and side win
dows. The alarm was promptly given
and = stream of water was soon
brought into play. The pressure was
strong and the flames were soon un-
der control. The fire was confined to
the lower floor of the rear room, but
much damage was done to the goods
stored in the second floor by water
and smoke. Most of the goods on
the ground floor consisted of sugar,
flour, soap, and similar articles and
those not burned by the fire were
ruined by water. The interior of the
front room was badly blackened by
smoke and many of the goods suffer
ed in similar way.
The stock in the warerooms invoiced
at $4,000, with a loss of approx
mately so per cent Settlement was
effected yesterday with the insurance
and the work of salvage, re-
moving the debris and repairing the

FAIR PLAN S MA.
TURING
Liberal Premiums for Livestock
Fruit and Farm Exhibits.

Plans for a successful Gem County
Fair are maturing rapidly, and indica-
tions are that the exhibits of live
stock, poultry, farm products, fruit
and domestic arts will be of large
proportions, and will come from all
parts of the county so that there will
be complete exposition of Gem coun-
ty's resources
The fair is under the direction of
a committee composed of D. H. Van
Deusen, T. E. Hance and J. c. All
mon. Directors of each division of
exhibits have been appointed and were
given in full in last weeks issue. The
committees held a meeting last even
ing and another meeting will be held
Saturday evening in Commercial Club
rooms at O'Clock, when it is hoped
every member will be present and re-
port, so that the premium list may
be completed and turned over to the
printers without delay.
Mr.. Van Deusen has generously Of
fered the use of canvas and frames,
used by him as lambing sheds, as
sheds for the livestock exhibits. They
are clean, roomy and easily erected
and taken down. Canvas houses will
also be used for the other exhibits
The third day of the fair viii take
tho form of Gem countv rp,1niou of
soldiers, sailors and others who were
in the U. s. service. Elaborate pre-
parations are being made for this day,
and the program will include free
a free barbecue, sports, and
dance at night The reunion viii be
given under the direction and manage
ment of the county reunion committee
appointed last April.

GEM Co. FARM LANDS
HISTED
State Equalization Board Ad-
vances Valuation from
S43.79 to $56.93 Acre

The decision of the state board Of
equalization to increase the valuation
of irrigated lands increases the valua-
tion of 29,985 acres in Gem county
from s43.79 per acre to s56.93 per
acre, or approximately 81 per acre.
The lands in the wheat belt OF north
Idaho were increased in the same
proportion.
1t is estimated that the increased
valuations will add $12, ,000, 900 worth
of taxable property to the assessment
rolls
Valuations on city property, dry
farm lands, grazing lands, cut-over
timber lands and waste lands were
not molested, except in Fremont coun-
ty where valuations on dry farm lands
were reduced from $24-95 an acre to
$40.
In equalizing valuations Tuesday the
equalization board divided the farm
lands in the several counties into diff
ferent classes Ada, Canyon, Gem,
Payette, Washington and Twin Falls
were placed in class one. Practically
all the cultivated lands in those coun-
ties are under irrigation and since they
contain the richest soils and are in
the highest state of cultivation they
are assessed higher than lands in other
counties.
Valuations in Ada county on irri-
gated lands were advanced from
s60.46 to s69.53; in Canyon from
$500 to s6s.O4; in Payette. from
s62.30 to $71-33; in Washington, from
s67.19 TO S70.55, and in Twin Falls,
from $55 to $6875.
Boise county was placed in Class 9.
with 1859 acres of irrigated lands,
equalized value $2O.70 per acre

FRUIT MOVEMENT ON.
IN EARNEST
First Car of Peaches Shipped
Out Tuesday-Prunes
Start Friday.

Emmett's famous Elbertas peaches
are ripe, and their distribution to the
markets is now in full swing. The
first carload went out Tuesday and
was shipped by the Fruit Union. 1t
was consigned to Trinidad, Colo,
which seems like carrying Goals to
Newcastle. This car contained peaches
from the Warden, Wills, Modin and
DR.. Barnes orchards and were beauties
Five more carloads will go out yet
this week from the Unions packing
house. The fruit is being shipped in
bushel baskets weighing approximate
ly SO pounds and 480 baskets to q
car
Prune picking is now ir progress
and packing will start tomorrow morn
ing at the packing house of the Fruit
Association. J. R. Field has been
employed as superintendent. Of the As
sociation's packing operations for this
season.
1t is stated that apples are matur-
ing rapidly and that they will follow
the prunes and peaches in quick sue
cession. Bartlett pears are being
picked and marketed.
John Olds, who bears the title Of
chief loading inspector, has been sent
out by the Oregon Short Line to give
instructions on best methods of load
ing fruit in cars 80 as to prevent
damage and loss, is here. He has so
deputies under him scattered among
the fruit sections of the state. 1t is
believed his department will mean 8
big saving in fruit and also reduce
the number of claims of damaged
fruit by commission men, as this de-
partment's duties include an oversight
of the fruit from the time of it's ship
ment up to its receipt at the markets.
Today the Fruit Growers Associa-
ton are shipping out two cars Of Ell
bertas, one carload packed in bushel
baskets and the other in crates. The |
cars are assigned to eastern markets.
