estimate they will be fifty per cent
greater than last year. The largest
check for the first installment of
taxes received from any one individ-
ual or corporation was for more
than $4,000 from the Clearwater
Timber Company, the second largest
tax payer in the county being the
Potlatch Lumber Company, whose
first installment of taxes amounted
Ito more than $4,000.
Some contrast between the above
and the smallest tax payer in Clear
water county whose tax bill for the
two installments was Al cents. There
are numerous other property holders
whose taxes do not amount to more
than dollar per year Mr.. Crockett
tells of the novel experience Of the
smallest tax payer in the county for

same in two installments Of 26
