The Bonded Indebtedness of Counties of the State Idaho and Subdivisions
Shoshone Ranks First

I"HE FIGURES in the table below
tell the story of taxation in Idaho
\ They show conelusively that while
widespread protest is being made
against high taxes and attempt is
made to fasten the blame upon state
and county officials, the chief respon-
selves for it is the bonded debts of
counties. road districts and school dis
tricts that account for the heavy bur
den Of taxation. debts incurred by the
direct vote of the people themselves.
1t will of course not be denied that in
some cases official extravaganza has
also been responsible, but in the main
the people themselves are responsible
They simply lost their heads during
the last few years over road improve
ments. State aid and federal aid for
highway construction was a tempta-
ton they could not resist and they
voted bonds to match outside money
utterly unmindful of the burden of tax
alton their action imposed County
and district bonds for road construc-
ton form the big factor in the bonded
debt column.
Shoshone County Exception.
ShOshone county occupies a proud
position in the tabulation below, thanks
TO the sanity of the people and the
sound business judgment of the coun-
ty administration during the past few
years of riotous spending in other
counties of the state. Shoshone county
itself has no bonded debt. OF the

ACTIVITY AT TAMARACk
EARLY RESUMPTION NOW
SEEMS TO BE ASSURED

During the past week or two
quite a number of men have been
sent up to the Tamarack. mostly
with families and old employees of
the company The buckets have
been replaced or the tramway and
the ore in the bins at the mine has
been transported to the mill. There
is still a large amount of snow at
the mine which seriously interferes
with outside operations and which
is understood to be one of the chief
causes of delay in beginning pro-
duction. 1t was thought that the
mine and mill would be in opera
ton by the first of May. but from
present information il is believed
that production will begin between
the first and fifteenth. 1t was
learned this week that a few men
have been put on at the Hercules,
who are engaged in cleaning up
and getting the mine plant in or
der. This is taken to indicate that
there is a possibility of a resump-
ton at the Hercules also. What
will be done with ore from the Day
mines is again s live topic of dis
cussion and the consensus of pub
lie opinion appears to be that it
will go to the East Helena plant
of the American Smelling & Re
filming company.

Old Timer Returns.

of securing other ground on that rich

his arrival here he met his old time

Davis Turns to Oil.

S. B. Davis mining engineer left
last week for Lander, Wyoming. where
he will be associated with w. Earl
Greenough in the development of oil
on a large tract owned by the Green
Ough interests. Commercial oil has
been found on the ground at shallow
depth, about 300 feet, and plans of the
company include a refinery and the
manufacture Of various oil products
Wells are also being sunk to a deeper
oil stratum, estimated to be about 1900
feet, and which is expected to be more
productive than that above.

SUCCESS.

Drifting on Promising Ore Shoot, Both
Lead and Zinc.
Several weeks ago the Success Min
ing company started drifting on a
promising stringer of ore on the main
tunnel level. The start was made on
a few inches of lead silver ore and the
drift has now been advanced upwards
of 20 feet. In this distance the ore has
widened to about 16 inches of solid
ore near the bottom but in the mean
time much zinc appeared and the
showing now is more zinc than lead.
In addition to the solid ore shoot,
stringers of lead and zinc are scattered
throughout the face of the drift

The cry Of "Sweet Lavender" Is once
more heard in the London streets, as
It has been since the Huguenots first
grew the sweet and cleanly plant on
Lavender hill, near where the Clapham
Junction railway station now stands.
It carries very fragrance across the
centuries, recalling the days when Lon
don was little town, and even
Charing Cross was a somewhat dis
tant village. As the bricks and mortar
spread, the lavender retreated up the
valley Of the little River Wandle.
Mitcham lavender became famous, and
the visitors to Mitcham fair wandered
through the fields to see the lavender
reaped with a sickle and tied up into
little punches. Now Mitcham Is threat
ened and the last grower is retiring
from business. But London must
