optimism PREVAILS
over NORTH IDAHO

Northern Idaho farmers will be in
a better financial condition this fall
than the farmers in southern Idaho
This opinion is held by both w. II.
Herrick, assessor of Shoshone coun-
ty, and A. D. Decker, representative
of the Potlatch Lumber company, La
tab county Mr.. Herrick is here to
attend the annual meeting of county
assessors and Mr.. Decker came to
meet with the state board of equaliza-
tion. They are stopping at the Owy-
hee, says the Statesman.
Pessimism in northern Idaho has
changed to optimism, the men de-
.c1ared.
In the mines, they asserte ed, a year
and a half of depression has been

they aGded. Regarding the wh rat
out ook among north Idah, farmc, S,
they said that early season pessimisln
over the poor stand of wheat had
come to naught and that returns from
threshers already at work showed a
production of form 6 0to 70 per cent
OF the normal. A ready market is
assured, they said, and because of
this wheat growers of the panhandle
''have it over" their fruit producing
neighbors of south Idaho.

six-foot figure of soldier i'll parade
dress, made of Bedford stone. The

JEWS LEAD AS NEW CITIZENS
More of Them Than Any Other Race
NaturaIized in New York
During Last Year.

New York.-About 10000 new citi-
zens were made in the New York dis
trict during the last fiscal year, ac-
cording to a report just made public
by Merton A. SturgeS, head of the
naturalization bureau. Classified ac-
cOrding to races the Jews led all
others in applying for citizenship
papers, numbering about one-third OF
the total.
About $4,000 applications were re-
ceived, of which 1900 were granted.
This, including wives and minor chill
dren, makes approximately 10000
new American citizens. Aliens are
not required to pass literacy test
in applying for their papers, but must
speak the English language. Refusals
were based mainly on moral grounds.

POMEROY JAIL BREAKER
IS AGAIN AT LIBERTY

William Quhnen, who was appre-
hended at Genesee Tuesday and re
turned to Pomery, Wash, where he
was wanted for jail breaking, is at
large again, according to reports Fri
day from the sheriff's office.
He had been reincarcerated but two
days before he dug his way out Of the
jail. The first time he escaped
through a window from the woodsned
where he was working.
1t is believed that Quhnen is the
man wanted in connection with a
bank robbery at Spangle some time
ago. When he broke Jail the first
time he had but twenty some days to
serve on the charge for which he
was incarcerated, that of stealing
auto tires, and some $100 to his cred
it at the sheriff'S office.
He was arrested on the bank rob-
berry charge but released on the evil
dence of woman who identified him
and secured his release from that
charge. His action in breaking jail
with such a short time to serve leads
police officials to believe that he must
be the perpetrator of bigger crime,
perhaps the bank robbery.

UTILITIES Want
ASSESSMENTS CUT
ASK STATE EQUALIZATION BOARD
AT BOISE FOR SWEEPING
REDUCTIONS

Representatives of more utility COR
porations appeared before the state
board of equalization Tuesday, asking
sweeping reductions in their assess
ed valuations, according to the States
man.
The Idaho Power company, through
it's representative, E. G. Kiersted, told
the board that the value of it's prop
erty for taxation is $9,OOO,0OO and that
if it were assessed on the same basis
as other property in the state, it's as
sessed valuation would be $4,O0O,O00
instead of the $6,500, 900 fixed by the
board last year.
A plea for a reduction to the same
basis as other property was made by
Charles A. Murray of the Northern
Pacific Railroad company. Mr.. Muir
ray claimed, and submitted figures
purporting to show, that the railroad
company's property in north Idaho is
assessed at a higher percentage os it's
value than any of the property ad-
joining the company's lines. Other
representatives before the board were:
A. j. Shaw, for the Spokane Inter
national railroad and the Spokane
Eastern; L. B. Hawley, for the Pull
man company; L. M. Simpson, for the
Grangeville Electric Light & Power
COu pduys w. ~ loiShfCl, lOi IuC iLClA-
hi Telephone company and the Gil
more & Pittsburg aRilroad company.
Members of the board have made
hurried survey of the abstracts of the
assessment rolls sent in by the var
iaous county officers, and Governor d.
w. Davis said the rolls appeared to
be Sin fine shape this year Many
counties have made increases this
year, he said, although one or two
southern Idaho counties have slump
ed' back to where they were a year
ago, when the board ordered increas-
eS.
A more detailed survey of the rolls
is being taken up, and the counties
completed so far are Ada, Adams,
Bannock, Bear Lake, Benewah, Bing-
ham, Blaine, Boise, Bonner, Butte,
Camas, Canyon, Caribou, Cassia,
Clark, Custer, Elmore and Franklin.
Following the sessions Tuesday, the
governor, in an interview, limited at
the apparent incompatibility of some
of the assessments made in two south
western counties of the state.
Irrigated land on one side OF the
county division line is assessed at SIS
to $40 an acre higher than it is on
the other side,' he said, "and the
higher assessments come nearer the
true value for taxation purposes. 1t
