apartments following the recent sale
of the property at public auction, and
Felix Lake. former owner of the

ton in the District Supreme Court
against the Rent Commission and the
tenants of the building.
The plaintiffs seek to prevent the
enforcement of a determination by
the rent commission that the property
is worth only 100000 and reducing
the rentals of the tenants on that
basis. They assert that the finding
as to the value of the property is
null and void. and is not based on the
testimony heard by the Rent Com
mission.
&ss,OOO Rebates Involved.
Unless the court will lend its aid
by enjoining the tenants, the plain
tiffs state. they will suffer serious
loss by reason of claims for return of
the excess rentals paid, as the com
missions findings are retroactive to
March last These demands for re-
bate now total s3s.o0o, the court is
advised.

spring for s3.0Oo.OOO. told the lawyer
that his client was paying too much
for the property.
Ailege Price ENOrbitant.
The commission Will allow the own
er per cent net on the value of
the building, but if your people paid
s3,000.000. then they paid too much. -
Chairman Sinclair is quoted as say
ing, '.and my advice to you is to get
from under and If you follow the pro-
ceedings before the commission, when
we take testimony in this case We
will show You way to get out. The
building in my opinion is worth
100000 and no more and if you paid
over that figure for it. you have been
stung."
Other alleged faults are found with
the decision of the commission and the
methods used in arriving at the valu-
alton. The court is told Of the recent
sale at auction and the purchase OF
the property by Claude II. Hahn for
s2453,75o.N3 and his transfer to the

Idaho Falls Man
Meets Death Ir,
Big Lost River

John Philip Mclaughlin, well
known business man of Idaho Falls
was drowned late Wednesday after
noon, Aug. 20, in the Big Lost river
about seven miles above Mackay
while fishing in company with
"Chick" Miltenberger, of Pocatello
and three other business men OF
Mackay.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, fam liarly
known as Jack, was wading in the
stream of cold water and was over
taken with cramps. He cried for
help and Mr.. Miltenberger arrived
on the scene just in time to see him
sink in the water with his heavy
waders pulling him down. Rescue
parties worked until late Thursday
evening trying to fine the body, but
did not meet with success until Fri
day morning.
The deceased was twenty-nine
years of age, served ten months in
the marine corps during the war and
was president of the Miltenburger
Produce company, which has become
firmly established business under
his hands. He was a member of the
Elks lodge, the Rotary club and
Knighs of Columbus. He was born
in Ogden, Utah, and spent his early
life in that city.

Small Idaho Factories
Put On Equal Basis
With East

Annihi1ation of discriminatory

Kraft, the worlds biggest cheese
distributor, If Idaho will ship cheese
in carload lots to his markets.
This statment was made, says the
Minidoka County News by the Rev.
Floyd Beckwith of Boise, personal
friend Of the cheese man who spoke
in his behalf while in Burley and
Rupert with the dairy excursion last
Thursday, Mr.. Kraft having been
called home the preceding day.
"He stands ready said the Boise
man, ito take Idaho cheese +. o. b.
at the same price paid in Wisconsin
If he can get it in carload lots. He
is not expecting to lose money on the
project. He will accomplish it by
sending the Idaho product direct to
the western coast in place of that
made in the east which he is now
shipping there at the rate Of two
carloads daily.
"This will put the small Idaho
cheese factory on an equal basis
with the large shipping centers Of
the east"

IDAHO STATE TAX
LEVY IS FIXED
More Than $1,00O,0O0
Added to Taxable
Wealth

The state board of equalization
meeting at Boise Saturday fixed the
state levy for 1922 at 1891 cents on
the 500 valuation and added more
than $1,000,000 to the taxable
wealth Of the state.
No reduction in the assessed val
uations of public utilities were
made, despite urgent requests from
their representatives. A cut of
per cent in the reported value of
agricultural land in Twin Falls
county was made.
The equalized value of all prop
erty in the state last year was $780,
073,780. This year the reported
value Of the this same property ac-
cording to the assessors rolls, was
$351,36S,339 or a decrease of about
$20,O00,000. The boards increase
raised this reported value to about
$353,50O,O0O.
The Oregon Short Line railroad
company received an increase in as
sessed value at the hands Of the
board amounting to $4,000 per mile
on the Bliss-Rupert branch. This
branch line runs thru the counties of
Jerome, Gooding and Minidoka.
The assessment of the Utah Light
and Power company was increased
from $7,0O0,000 to $7,250,0O0. At
torneys for the Oregon Short Line
made representations to the board
that the assessed valuation of that
company's Idaho property, $55,00O,-
900 for 1921, should be cut. The
board, however, made no changes
except the Rupert-Bliss branch line
increase, in the companies valua-
tion.

The game lasted for five innings and
was as interesting for the players as
the audience, which was not very
large. The Kiwanians won the
game in the last inning and the
people who did not see it missed a
real treat in the way of baseball.
Altho there were not many people
at the game a large number Of
tickets were sold and according to

ceeds will be about $50, which will

CITY SCHOOLS
in FULL SWING
Pupils Are Taking More
Interest In School
Activities

Tuesday the Blackfoot high
school started off with boom. The
beginning enrolment was 270,
about the same as the first day last
year, but the students seem to take
hold of the school activities with
more show of interest. There were
five more enrolled before Thursday
and there were 1876 enrolled at the
junior high, 395 at the Central
school, and 275 at the Irving
school, making total of 1881.
Mr.. Sturgil will have charge of the
junior high boys and is working to
get two foot ball teams. Mr.. Holder
the athletic coach, called practice
for football Tuesday, and to the
surprise of the principal, Mr.. Christ
ensen and himself, there were
twenty boys out, which is big
start for the first practice and the
first day of school.
Mr.. Stout, who has charge of the.
band and orchestra, reports that he,
has number of new students en-
tering and expects to have splen-
did musical department going soon.
Last year the glee club work was a
little slack, having only a boys
chorus, but this year the school is
starting out with big glee club of
both boys and girls which will be.
heard from before the school year
Is up.
The commercial department Is
also making running start and
will be in as good condition as last
year to compete with the other
schools in the commercial contest,
which Blackfoot carried last year
with over half of the points given in
the contest.
Taking all things into considera-
tion, according to the principal, Mr..
Christensen, the Blackfoot high
school is due for record year.
There are only three new teachers,
which means that a large number of
the students will not have to go thru
the usual routine of getting used to
them and school will be going in
earnest in few days.

THE IDAHO POTATO
MARKET ANALIZED
Prospect Of Fair Prices
In Fall and Winter
Is Brighter

The prospect for marketing Idaho
potatoes at fair price during the
fall and winter is looking brighter.
Idaho farmers who have built or are
building potato cellars seem to be
in very desirable position for this
year and fortifying for permanent
success.
Idaho potatoes on the Chicago
market the first of September were
not worth quite enough to pay the
freight from Idaho If shipped in
refrigerator cars and duly iced.
Shipments that were made in
August, containing unripe potatoes,
even tho well iced, arrived in
Chicago in "leaky" condition, that
is, the unripe potatoes had water
oozing out Of them and running
down thru the others, making them
all more or less sappy and undesir-
able. Shipments from Western
Colorado, from the San Louis dis
trict, where they have 5000 to 5000
cars for market, were in the same
candition and did ont net the grow
ers anything.
Potato growers in southwestern
Idaho, in western Colorado and
many in Maine are hesitating about
digging their potatoes at all. 1t is
likely that part Of their crop will be
left in the ground, and that some Of
these lands may be plowed up and
seeded to fall wheat, rye or forage
crops. The potatoes of southern
California have been harvested, and
for the most part, consumed. Cali
fornia's other potato district is
around Stockton, and they have a
fair yield, but it is poor in quality.
Their lands have been cropped with
potatoes so long that the yield is
growing less and the diseases are
telling on the quality. 1t will be
necessary for them to seed their
