A Weekend at Duluth, Min.
nesota.
Dear Advertiser:

Dear Advertiser:
Friday afternoon, just before six
o'clock, my friend and I tramped
through the deepest snow that Aurora
has yet experienced this winter, to the
trains which we boarded for Duluth,
the capitol of this county.
In the front of the trains is snow
plow which removes the snow and in
sures safety.
1t seems so inappropriate at this
time of the year for the trees to be
covered in snow. One expects that at
Thanksgiving and Christmas, but
want to see fruit trees in bloom, as
they say they are now in the South.
And yet the different parts of the
country seem to have exchanged eli
mates, for you have been having more
snow, and this is said to have been the
mildest winter that Minnesota has hao
in forty-three years.
Duluth is ga city set on hill, " Dor,
bered on one side by high cliffs and on
the other by Lake Superior. In .Au-
gust, when l came through Duluth fol-
the first time, the water was blue, and
there were sea gulls flying, over it.
Now the water is solidly frozen over
and snow covered, with skaters flying
over it instead of sea gulls.
The Indian name for Lake Superior
is Gitche, the name being Indian, and
the people on its shores representatives
of many foreign nations. The great
Northwest is much more cosmopol-
itan than the South.
Perhaps the most interesting thing to
be seen in Duluth is the famous aerial
bridge which extends across Lake Su-
perior from Duluth to the City of Su-
perior. The term aerial is applied to
it, for not only the bridge itself ex-
tends in an arch high in the air, but the
passengers themselves are transported
in large wood and iron car attached to
the bridge on the under side. This runs
along the bridge like small car on the
track, except that it runs on the uuder
side instead of the upper. q
= Such wonderful manifestations of
national grandeur as are to be found
here in this north country are an incen-
tive to man to live up to them by Great
ing great inventions, for were there no
great lakes, or no rugged mountains,
there would be no necessity for stupen-
dous undertakings, for the building of
great ships and the following of great
tunnels.
In order to return Sunday night to
Aurora we were obliged to take our re-
turn trip in three parts, the first third
of the journey by train, the second by
street car and the last by omnibus.
The transportion facilities here are
many and varied, between even the
smallest towns. In this way the wilds
can easily connect themselves with civ
ilization.

At the Dance.

Julia, what was that young man
whispering into your ear while
dancing?
He was telling me that since he
knew me the world didn't seem to
him anymore immense and desolate
as before.
Naturally what else would he tell
you. When dancing he looks like a
camel of the desert.

NAY ASK BOARD WHY A
BOOST ON FARM LANDS
SEEMS RAISE HIGHEST FOR ANY
IDAHO COUNTY-FORM
BIG FIGURINGS

The Digest of the Is per cent Raise
in Assessed Valuation of Agricultural
Lands, for Latah County, to hand
Thursday shows perhaps few realize
the magnitude Of the reported raise
of 10 per cent on the valuation as
placed on agricultural lands by the
assessor, and as equalized by the
county commissioners, which raise,
according to press reports, has just
been ordered by the State Board of
Equalization
In trip to the court house of a
Mirror man Thursday morning, this
matter was gone over with the coun-
ty assessor, and auditor, and find
that the valuation of agricultural
lands is by far highest assessed I'M
der any one heading in the county,
and that the abstract of assessments
as reported to the state board reads
209552 acres of agricultural lands,
with a total valuation of $S,S29,315,
which would make an average assess
ment on said lands of $4213; the in
crease of Is per cent by the state
board would figure total increase
of $1,324,397, or an increase of $6.32
per acre on the average, and would
raise the total valuation on said lands
to $10,153,712, and the average ass
essed valuation per acre to $48.45.
The state boards action in this
matter is hard to understand, as val
uatiOns taken as whole are consid-
cred slightly under those of last year,
the assessed valuation of such items
as lumber, timber, merchandise, etc.,
being lower this year, and the press
reports, referred to above, state that
the state board has placed a lower
valuation upon railroads and other
public utilities, and why the state
board should single out agricultural
lands Of Latah county for such a
large increase in valuation is not I'M
derstood, and not in harmony with
their action regarding other assess |
ments.
This action on the part of the state |
board will mean a raise of more than |
Is per cent on said lands, as by rails |
ing said valuations and lowering the |
valuation on other classes of prop |
arty, the matter of percentage is in !!
creased more than shown in the per- |
centage figures given, and the burden |
Of taxation shifted in way that |
same will be felt quite sharply this |
ear
The Star-Mirror would be glad to |
AVE this matter explained by the |
members of the state board, and their
'easons given for this action, as such
IN explanation would undoubtedly
prove interesting to the tax payers
# the county.

SAVAGE GETS WRITE UP
FOR REFOfM NED NEWS MAN

Bert F. Savage, of the department
Of agriculture, says the Northern
Idaho News, was in Standpoint last
week coming here to attend the con-
vention of the county agents which
took place in this city, the first of
last week. While here Mr.. Savage
took time to attend the meeting of the
directors of the chambers of COM
merce. He made a very interesting
talk. Among other things he remark
ed that the men who attend such
meetings as this which you gentle
men are carrying on today are gen.
orally the men who do things in q
community. They meet and discuss
the problems which are most import
ant to the welfare of the community
And these same business men busy
themselves in solving the problem for
the farmers, realizing that the sue
cess of the farmer means success for
them. They look to see that the far
mer gets good marke for his pro-
ducts and try to improve the condi-
tions of the rural neighbors. These
business men realize that the farmer
will find it just as convenient to trade
at some other place."
Mr.. Savage is a reformed" news
paper man, having been connected
with the Lewiston Tribune for many
years. The Lewiston community
finally took pity on him and relieved
him of work, giving him berth with
the department of agriculture.

met with a great measure OF success
who possessed but one of these quail
tiles to any considerable degree. A
closer investigation, however, dis
closes the fact that these stars rose
meteorically, blazed for a while on
the horizon of the silent drama, and
as swiftly disappeared from view.
The permanent successes of the
screen have been scored by actors
who possessed both personality and
the ability to act, and foremost
among these stars is Frank Mayo,
who has appeared for the past three
years in Universal Films. His latest
production, 1.-THE Blazing TRAIL" is
probably the best story in which he
has appeared in many months. Dr.
rected by Robert Thornby, it is said
to be dramatic masterpiece. Local
theatergoers will have an opportunity
to judge of it's merits at the Ken
worthy Theatre on Saturday.

lion dollars on highway systems" he
said in substance. BE we can't get at
that half mile of mud on the Wash
ington side. From November to
April this half mile is impossible.
Moscow, Genesee, and Palouse feel it
. to be offensive. 1t is an impeachment
to neighborly feeling. We would
like to see the Lewiston folks during
the winter, and they would like to
visit us. But the road is impossible.
If there is to be north and south
highway in Idaho by all means let us
have an All-Idaho route. Idaho would
then be assured that her own would
be maintained. But in Washington
maintenance cannot be assured. We
would be spending our money on an
other portion of that state, Whitman
county,"
Mr.. Monshek in a second speech
told how his commerce men had ap-
preached the Whitman county com
missioners at Colfax. The Colfax
men said they had no equipment to
take to the lower end of their county.
I'VE offered not only to lend them
equipment but placed the rock crusher
and the rock at their disposal. They
had no money, they next said We

said it would take from $4,000 to
$500. We told them we would do
the whole improvement for $500 or
81, 900 less at least than their esti-
mate. Later they reiterated, they
had no cash to pay Genesee and we
said we would put up the money. They
said that would be as bad as building
the road themselves as they would
have to tax the people to pay us
back"
President Monshek in his conclusion
said petty politics, he was informed,
reigned in Whitman county They
told the Genesee people that they did
not build roads in a day. That is
The attitude of Whitman county The
fact is they do not want to divert
5raffic from Washington into Idaho.
They want the tourists trade for
themselves and connot blame them"
Mr.. Monshek was given an ovation at
he conclusion of his speech

Disclaims, Opposition to
the 14th Street, Wigwam

A plan to reorganize the Democratic,
party In this state, apparently without
consulting Charles F. Murphy, under
whom it Is pretty thoroughly organized
right now, was launched yesterday at a
luncheon at the Down Town Associa-
ton headquarters, so Pine Street.
Neither Br. Murphy nor his upstate
lieutenant, William W. Farley, was
present. Al Smith, Former Governor
and for many years one Of the most
powerful chieftains of Tammany Hall,
was present, however. His attendance
was regarded az significant, as ,ths
movement bears the earmarks of an
incipient rebellion against Tammany.
Mr.. Smith himself would not permit
any such inferencs to be drawn, how
ever.
Executive Committee Named
"The purpose of the luncheon. was-
merely to talk over methods OF. getting
the state organization into better
shape" he said. ,"All the discussion
was along that tine. The feeling was
that the party up the state was In need
of reorganization. left early and do
not know what was done"
The principal. thing that was done
was to appoint an executive committee,
consisting of James W. Gerard. Frank
L. Polk and Franklin D. Roosevelt, to
draw up plan of permanent organiza-
tlon TO be presented at subsequent
meeting. There are no Tammany
strings attached to any of them, and
the luncheon guests were representa-
tive OF the independent element of the
party, rather than of the Fourteenth
Street machine. William Church Os-
born, who engineered it and persuaded
Al Smith to attend, evinced consider
able satisfaction with the result.
I'VE discussed number of plans for
a more effective Democratic organiza-
tion in the state," he said. "The meet
ing did not commit itself to any plan.
The discussion was of cheerful tone,
and we adopted simple bylaws for
permanent organization which we aave
named the Committee of Democrats.
Look Toward "Rising SAM
The organization to-day was pre-
liminary only, and that accounts for
the limited number of invitations sent
out. We appointed an executive COM
mittee with powers to add to its mem
bers, and with instructions to prepare
a permanent organization.
"We did not discuss the causes of
the defeat of the Democrats last fall.
We are looking toward the rising sun.

The question as to whether Tho move
ment was directed against State Chair

was put to Mr.. Osborn, who replied
that It was not movement against any
person, but was entirely in the inter
est, Of the Democratic party of the
state. William G. McAdoo was one Of
the prominent Democrats who was not
invited, but Mr., Osborn asserted that
such omissions had no political signi-
ticance, as the meeting was merely pre-
limjnary.
Mr.. Osborn was elected chairman Of
the committee of Democrats; John G.

secretary, and George E. Kent, treas

advent OF women in politics already
has brought o new and wholesome In.
huence TO bear upon the welfare Of

gram repeated his criticisms of nom
partisan organizations Of women, such
as the New York State League of
Women Voters. His telegram read:
II have learned with pleasure OF the
formation of your organization and It's
purposes. These are such as heartily
approve. such as | commended In my
Nddress of January 27 before the New
York State League of Women Voters.
l now repeat what said on that occa-
sion, that cherish the highest respect
for the work and influence of women
in politics.
"The advent of women in political
affairs should bring, and has already
brought, / believe, new and whole
some influence to bear on the welfare
of nation, state and municipality. In
particular it is to be expected that the
keen interest of women in the pres
ervation Of the purity and integrity
of the home will kindle like interest
in the publication and elevation Of q
related sphere, that Of government.
ALLOW me to praise the wisdom
which leads you to avoid the sem-
blance of -partisanship and to- ally
yourselves openly with one of the two
great political organizations. By such
step you strengthen that system of
political action which the experience
of this country has approved, because
it has been found most favorable to
the development of we'll defined poli-
cies and their practical realization in
government. BY such decision you
avoid the danger of scattering your
energies or wasting your efforts in che
pursuit of vagaries, crude theories or
such doubtful projects as often appeal
to the small group or minority.
"By stunning that path you escape
the temptation to engage in those forms
of coercion and intimidation which are
menace to our free institutions.
Nothing can be more injurious. to the
uprightness and independence of legis-
latures than the control of legislative
action by irresponsible agencies intent
on forcing the passage of measures, not
yet approved at the polls, by playing
upon the fears or personal ambitions
of members. Need say that the main
tenance of the uprightness and inde-

essence of representative institutions :?
Let members of legislative body be
persuaded that they are no longer re-
sponsible to the people, but must look
for support and continuance in public
life to small organizations, and popu-
lar government fails.
Finally, members of the Women's
National Republican Club, by associat-
ing yourselves with great political
party, of a record magnificent for
achievement, you put away the sugges-
tion of forming woman's party, and,
you condemn the assertion that the
real interests of men and women under
government like ours can be in an
tagonism, or that either sex can seek
any legitimate object which cannot be
attained by the methods and under the
political system which have witnessed
the immense progress of American in
stitutions."
