thorizing construction of the main
unit.
A commission to direct the
work will probably be appointed

tracts.
Early completion of the build
ing SO that returning soldiers and
sailors may be given employment
pending development of vast ir
rigation projects now under con-
sideration for their benefit is urg-
ed by those in favor of building
the wings. Crowded conditions

make it imperative that more
room be provided.
Efforts are being made by some
legislators to have a memorial
hall to the honor of Idaho war

met
AT BOISE, IDA.
Valuation of Hogs Remain Same
Horses and Sheep Take a
Slight Decline.

Assessors of the state of Idaho,
on call from Governor Davis
met in Boise recently and discus
sed taxation problems with the
governor and the state board of
equalization.
AS a result of the meeting of
the assessors of various counties
few changes were recommended
by them. County Assessor Cal
vim Hazelbaker was among the
assessors present at the meeting
in the state capitol.
The annual meeting allows an
exchange of views from the asses
sors and uniformity in assessment
in the various counties is worked
out, which will do away with
much confusion.
d A resolution opposing the bien-
NAL plan of assessment as propos-
ed in pending legislation was ad-
opted. Opposition was also ex-
pressed to the proposed bill which
would place back on the assessors
the collection of personal property
taxes, this collection now being
made by the county treasurers.
The present law has been in effect
two years and seems to be work.
ing out in a satisfactory manner.
A resolution was also adopted
by the assessors recommending to
the legislature that caution be eX-
erclsed in any change of the re-
venue and taxation laws, as the
existing system was working we'll
and that any changes should be
made only, after through inquiry
into the subject.
Following is summary of the
action taken as to changes to be
made in valuations:
Cattle valuations will remain
much the same as last year, milk
cows will rank from $40 to $45,
commonwealth at $50, yearlings
at $25 and grade bulls and beef
cattle at $50. The assessment of
all purebred stock cattleas we'll as
other stock, will be left to the dis
cretion of the assessors.
Horses dropped a trifle, COM.
mon being from $50 to $75, and
grade from $79 up. Hogs remain
at 6 cents a pound, anything un-
der 40 pounds not being assessed.
Sheep took a drop of 81 in as
sessed valuation, the price decided
upon being Sc for common and
$40 for graded stock. A motion
was made to increase the rate on
bees from 81 a stand to $5 stand
but was finally reduced to So,
making an increase, of 81 over
last years rate.
AS to lumber and standing tim
Der, a motion was made to permit
assessors of those counties having
special interests in lumber and
timber to decide those rates out
separately.
All of the counties in the state
were represented by their assess
OrS excepting three.

eu from -. II. Scnaecnef, VINO Is
now in a hospital in France and
written to his parents in the Keu-

who will be glad to learn that his
wound received in battle is now

lows:
Allerey, France.
Jan. 1, 1919.
My dear parents:
I. Will try to start the New Year
right, by writing a letter home.
First let me wish you all a very
Happy New Year.
Ihope this wish finds you all
in the best of health. l am get
ting along fine, am still in bed
and will probably have to stay
there for some time, but my
wound is getting better all the
time now.
Theone thing l don't like about
it is that it keeps me from going
home, altho | don't think | will
have to stay in France until l get
well. 4 shouldn't complain tho,
because when | left home, | did
not think that the war would be
won near as soon as it was. To
me the world looks a good deal
brighter than it did the day we
went abroad the transport ship in
New York harbor.
1t was a terrible hot and sultry
day, by far the worst day l have
ever seen for being hot. We came
over on a British ship, leaving
New York the 9Th day of August.
We soon forgot about heat, about
the 4th day out we seen icebergs.
We had to wear overcoats to go
on deck.
We landed at Liverpool in Eng
land, August 21st being on. the
.wateijust two weeks. The first
thing after landing was a five mile
hike to a ''rest camp"
crest Camp" that is what they
are called, but they don't seem
much like rest camps, when you
have to carry your pack five miles
to stay "a hours: From here we
got on the train and went to Win
chester to another rest camp and
stayed two days then another
little train ride to South Hamp-
ton where we crossed the English
channel landing at La Havre in
France.
The next morning, now another
rest of "a hours and the following
afternoon we got into the train,
or rather box cars. we got our last
passenger ride in England and
went to central France where we
received three weeks training,
when a number of us where trans
ferred to the 81st division. From
now on until | was hurt on Nov
ember 9th it was mostly trench
life.
l could tell a lot more of life
over here, but it would take too
long, SO | will wait until l get
home.
The route from the trenches
home may be longer than was
the route from home to the tren-
ches but the thought of duty done
will make it a shorter and hap
pier route to travel.
Nowedear mother, dear father
don't worry about me, I'll get
through all right.
Must quit for today with love
to you all. Your loving son,
Chris H. Schaecher.
