WILL DEDICATE HUGE
MORMON TEMPLE TODAY

Cardston, Alberta, Canada-(A. P)
The newly completed Mormon
temple, often referred to as "The
Great White Temple" the first OF its
kind to be erected on British soil, will
be dedicated here according to an
nouncement by President Heber J.
Grant, Church of Jesus Christ OF Lat
ter-Day Saints (Mormon.)
1t was in 1887 that a band of Nor
mons, under the leadership of Charles
Ora Card, left Logan, Utah, for Al
berta, and formed the now prosperous
Mormon colony in that vicinity.
The new Cardston temple cost in
the neighborhood of $1000,000. The
building proper is lifted up by an ar
tistic retaining wall covering a space
of 235 feet each way and the temple
itself measures 165 feet each way. 1t
is 110 feet high, and the walls are
three feet thick, built of the finest
Kootenai, British Columbia, granite,
reinforced with a labyrinth of steel
wires.
Surrounding the temple is a garden
from any part of which a fine view
of the surrounding country may be
ODldlueu, Llit uIOuuIdiilo, bOeh VI al
berta and Montana rockies. being
sharply outlined against the horizon.
Mormon temples are for the solem-
nization of the higher rites of the
church only and this accounts for the
absence of an assembly room or audi
torium in the Cardston temple. The
different chambers are for ceremoni-
ais, baptisms for the dead, sealings
for the living and the dead, marriages
for time and eternity, ordinations and
other sacred ordinances.
The dedication ceremonies for the
Cardston temple are expected to last
a week. If the same procedure as
was the case when the now famous
Salt Lake City temple was completed
is carried out. the Cardston temple,
q few days before the start of the
dedication rites, will be open to the
general public, Mormons and others
alike. who will be admitted to in
snoct the building, but after that it
will be closed to outsiders and every
care taken to preserve it's sanctity.

AUTO THIEF HAD MUCH
PLUMBER IN POSSESSION

The arrest of Edward Soule, Fri
day night, by the Latah county
sheriffs office, brought to light
number of crimes. Soule not only
was driving a stolen automobile, but
carried with him large number of
stolen articles, worth, in the opinion
of Sheriff j. j. Keane, about $500.
Both the Nez Perce county, Idaho,
and the Whitman county, Washing
ton, officers, were seeking Soule and
his partner, Jack Marley, a paroled
convict from San Quentin. Sheriff
Keane tells the following story of the
arrest:
"A call came Thursday evening
from Lewiston to the sheriff's office at
this place, giving a detailed descrip-
ton of the stolen car and the names
and description of the two men. L
Immediately notified the police de-
partment, and also made a search of
the city, but nothing was found that
night The following evening Mr.. Oh
son, the night man, located what he
thought was the stolen car and noti-
fled the office. 1 went down town
and held the man and the car and
not finding the second man, took the
man to the court house and notified
Sheriff Cole at Colfax of the catch.
He came over at once, and we ascer-
tanned that the man was driving a
California car, on which had been put
the license plates from a car stolen
from Bissinger, the Colfax meat dea-
Ter, a few days previous. There were
also other stolen articles and auto
parts, found in the possession of Ed.
Soule, the man captured.
GA wire from our office to the auto
license department at Sacramento,
Calf, brought the information that
the car was obtained by Jack Marley
from one H. O. Cumm, and also gave
the license number"
SouIe is the third auto thief ar
rested here within the last month
from outside counties, by the local
sheriffs force, and Sheriff Keane ex-
presses pleasure at the. cooperation
on the part of the sheriff's offices
in the Inland Empire, and also the
cooperation Of the local police force,
and says that the excellent team work
is doing much to discourage petty
thieves and criminals from seeking
this district.

LOWER VALUATION
ON idaho FARMS
IDAHO BOARD CUTS OFF SIX
MILLION D0LLARS-INCREA
ON SAW MILLS AND LUMBER

Boise, Idaho-The equalized valua-
tion of lands in Idaho on which the
farmer pays taxes is at least $6,00O,-
600 less than it was in 1922. 1t is
announced by Idaho's state board of
equalization, which closed two
weeks session Saturday.
The board claims part of this de-
crease and the remainder, the mem
bers say, was brought about by the
work of the county assessors and
the county boards of equalization.
Accurate figures on the states
valuation for this year will not be
available for several days, the board
announced, but brief summary of
the boards work for this year shows
that the equalized valuation of all
property in the state for 1922 has
been decreased approximately $780,
900. A further decrease of $322,0
on public utility property is to be
added to this, making a total re-
duction in the valuation of the state
of approximately $1,600,00O
In 1922 the state had valuation
of $457, 7,975,5S6
Irrigated Lands Worth More
The board made decreases in agri-
cultural land, dry land and milk
cows totaling 17,209,487. From this
amount, however, there is to be de-
Quoted an increase in the value of
irrigated land amounting to $10,309,-
752. Part of this increase is board
action and part was made by the
county assessors themselves in a re-
classification of lands. The differ
hofUQnn ho of
more than $17,000,000 and the in
crease of more than $10,000,00O is
$6,899,734.
In contrast with the decrease made
on farm lands, the figures issued by
the board show an increase of more
than $1,60O,00O In the valuations Of
saw mills and lumber. Every dollar
of this increase was made by the
board and is divided about equally
between the mills and lumber. An
increase of $817,030 was made in the
of saw mills and $851,3
in the valuation Of lumber in saw
mill yards.
Many Changes Made
Board members in commenting on
this years work say that more
changes have been made in property
values this year than at any previous
of any board
d. F. Banks, state treasurer, and
3. G. Gallet, state auditor, who have
been members of previous boards,
said that the work of this years
board has been more detailed and
has had a far-reaching effect.
Other members of the board who
have not served before are: Govern
or G. G. Moore, chairman; A. H. Con-
ner, attorney general, and F. A. Jeter,
secretary Of state.

SUGAR PROBE TO
Be THOROUGH
TO LEARN COST PRODUCTION
GATHER DATA FROM
1000 FARMS

Washington-(A. P.)-The tariff
commission has ordered a "compre-
hensive" investigation into the cost
of producing sugar beets within the
United States. The survey, the COM
missions announcement today ex-
planned, will be separate and distinct
from the inquiry being conducted
into the cost of producing sugar in
Cuba, Hawaii, Porto Rico, Louisiana
and of the sugar mills of the west,
and will be for the purposes of the
so-called flexible provisions of the
tariff act of 1922"
The extent that the new study will
go into general producing costs from
the agricultural viewpoint, is regard
ed here as having direct bearing on
existing rates of duty on sugar i'm
ports. The commission said that the
inquiry was a fact-gathering propo-
sition and made no mention of how
it intends to use the data obtained or
the reason actuating it.
Delve to Very Bottom
Satisfactory progress has been
made, commission members reported,
on the previously instituted investi-
cation into sugar producing costs
which resulted from charges that the
high sugar prices prevailing early in
the year were to be attributed to the
high tariff duties. The new investi-
cation will go step further than the
one already in progress in that it
proposes to delve into the very be-
ginning of sugar production.
Whether fresh complaints have
been made to the commission against
the import rates was not made known
but it was ascertained that several
members of the commission believe
the inquiry already under way
should be broadened and made COM
plete while the question of duties and
their effect on prices is pending be-
fore the commission.
1000 Farms in Five. States
The inquiry announced today calls
for survey of the cost of producing
beets in about 80 sugar areas in
Michigan, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah
and California. Records will be taken
from approximately 1000 farms, or
about Is per cent of the total pro-
duction of the 80 districts. This
amount, the commission said, should
represent about ten per cent of all
sugar beets produced in the United
States.
The commission shortly will send
out two crews of ~ or Ia men who
are trained in agricultural industries
Among them will be several from the
department of agriculture, loaned for
the purposes of the investigation.
