1.-THE FIRE BRIDE" LAST TIME AT COLISEUM


 "The Fire Bride q thrilling love and adventure picture, with wonder full settings, made on South Sea Island, opened last night at the Coli scum Thea.er and is on for final showing tonight
 There have been adventure pictures before, and good ones, but in few of them has the atmosphere and hrill of buried treasure, hand-to-hand fights, and passionate love on a tropical isle been reproduced so vivid ly and pleasurably. The picture is always good to look at, there Is never a lu1l in the action, and the big spec tacular scene, the tropical storm which losses ships. houses, people and. trees around like toys, is sensa- tional and realistic enough to make you hunt a cyclone cellar
 Ruth Reneck gives an appealing performance as the girl who goes with her father on the treasure hunt, meets many strange perils in the ilagocn of desire, arouses the brutal passion of a murdcrous sea-captain. and escapes hi1h to find true love. Fred Stanton as the sea-captain is a good enough bad-man to get sfny- ,body's misses. Edward Hearn, as ,Stevg Maitland. makes handsome hero, whose acting is natural.

Redemption Of Real Property.

Governor G.. G. MOOres sigma
ture to house bill No. 81 last
week automatically lifted bur
den from the taxpayers of the
state who have been unable to
pay their property taxes during
the past three years.
This bill provides that real
property may be redeemed be-
fore it is sold for taxes delin-
quent for the years of 1920, 1921
and 1922 by payment of the or
iginal amount of the taxes plus
interest at Z per cent. This re-
lieves those who have been un-
able to pay their taxes for those
years of the heavy penalties that
would accrue.
Records show that in some Sec
tons of the state where farmers
have been unable to pay their
taxes because of the general de-
preston that has hit agricul-
ture, the penalties on delinquent
taxes have made a staggering
burden. 1t was to relieve this

RAISE HUGE SUM
Gas Tax Estimated Over
100000 a Year.

Estimates Of the revenue to be
derived from Idaho's 2-cent-per
gallon gasoline tax place the
amount the highway fund Will
receive at more than six hundred
thousand dollars for the two
year period. House bill NO.
142 providing for putting this
law into effect is now before
Governor G. G. Moore and it was
announced at his office Wednes-
day that he will sign the mea-
sure
1t is thought by state officials
that the law will be in opera
ton in the state shortly after
April 1, as the bill authorizing
the tax is an emergency measure
and will not have to wait the
usual so days after the adjourn
ment of the session before be-
coming effective.
Based On Reports
The estimate of the revenue
which the state will derive from
the gasoline tax flor highway,
purposes is based on information
received from five other west
ern states having gasoline tax
law that has been in operation
from two to three years. Most
of these states have the 2-ceDt
tax while others added an addi-
tional cent this year. Utah put
the law into effect this year with
a tax of 2 IL cents per gallon.
From compilation of the in
formation furnished by all these
states showing the total reve-
nues and the number of cars
registered it is found that the
average car in each of these five
states consumed 391 gallons Of
gasoline per year or a yearly
revenue from each car operated
of 1892 for a 2-cent tax. For
the approximately $4,000 cars
registered in Idaho each year
the total revenue would be $391,-
900.
First Year Reduced
Revenues for 1923, however,
will be reduced because of the
law not going into effect until
about April l., and it is estimat-
ed that the receipts for this year
will be approximately $235,O00.
The total for the twO-year period
would therefore be $626,000.
Machinery for collecting the
tax is being worked out by the
commissioner of law enforce
ment, the state official named in
the bill as the authorized person
to whom the tax is to be paid.
When collected, the money will
be placed in the highway fund
of the state, to be used by the
commissioner of public works
in the construction or mainten-
ance of highways of the state.

FEEDING FOR PROFIT
P. |. Mayhem Writes Book On
New System.

n valuable DOOk on now tC
increase production in dairying by
scientific feeding of the individual
COW has just been completed by P.
Louis MAYHEM of Chico. 1t is
entitled "The Practical Dairyman. !"
The book completed is Part One,:
covering the subject of "Fccding.
for Profit" The work is the result
of MIR. Mayhew's own scientific
reserch, his own experience and
experiments during years OF service
in the feeding of dairy cows, to his
wide study Of the works OF eminent
scientists. and above all to i'm
portant discoveries he has made in
how to combine grain rations with
roughage to bring the maximum
return at the minimum of cost.
During his years of experience
with herds under his charge, and
most recently with the Gilbert
herd at chico, Idaho, Mr.. Mayhem
has proved that by his system of
feeding common cows kept under
ordinary farm conditions can be
made to more than double the
yield shown by the latest statistics
OF either common or association
cows. Under his management,
FIVE Holstein cows, ranging in age
from two years TO six years and
three months, produced in ten and
one half months of 1922 an average
of IL, 1897 pounds OF 4.37 percent
milk, or an average Of .53o.I2
pounds of butterfat. The individ-
ual yield of the youngest COW was
8I73 pounds and that of the Oldest
was ID, 664 pounds. --latest statis-
tics show that the average yield OF
common cows in 1890 was only
36a7 pounds of 81 per cent milk
and of association cows $3.50
pounds of All per cent milk.)
The difference is the result Of Mr..
Mayhew's system. In studying the
results obtained with the Gilbert
herd it is important to note that
the cows maintained their maxi
mum yield throughout the winter
without recourse to roots, silage or
other succulence in country
where it is necessary to stable
cattle not less than six months OF
the year.
Some OF the discoveries pointed
out in Mr.. Mayhew's book are that
proteins are variable only when
improperly combined; that the
nitrogen compounds of protein can
replace one another through the
assistance Of the amino acids; that
the fat OF milk is more dependent
on protein than any other constitu-
ent; that the power OF assimilation
varies less than four percent ia
individual animals when proper
ratio is maintained; etc. also, that
it requires no more feed TO produce
rich milk than it does to produce
poor milk, only that it requires
different kind of feed.
Not the least valuable features OF
the book are the tables made up
by method invented by Mr.
MAYHEM, found in no other book or
treatise on dairying, by which the
reader at glance can find the
proper ration combining grain vita
roughage, with or without s,lags
or succulencr, TO meet require
ments Of the individual COW
according to her age, weight, con-
dition, quantity and quality ot
yield, and allowing for maintenance,
growth requirements, etc. These
tables, taken with all the other in-
! form alton on the care and feeding
| of COWS for profit, make the book
