Lewiston Oil Concern Hit.

The Idaho department of finance re-
voked the permit granted to the Kew
in-Roberts Oil company of Lewiston to
sell stock in the state, it was announc-
ed by E. W. Porter, commissioner.
| After investigation, Mr.. Porter said,
he found the company had violated
the state law and was also in poor
financial condition. The company, ac-
cording to the commissioner, owned
property at Shelby, Mont, and was
issued a permit to sell stock in idaho
about July l. Since that time, he con
tinued, an examination has been made
of the company, disclosing that the
value of its real estate has been
swelled $4,000 to make its books com
sistent. Another accusation is that
the company sold stock to its employ
ees at low price so they in turn
could sell it at higher price without
having a permit.
The investigation further disclosed,
the commissioner said, that the ex-
penditures made and Indebtedness in
cured totaled approximately $4,000.
The only operations are drillings to-
taling $3.50 feet. Mr.. Porter said this
work should not have cost more than
s6 or 81 foot.--Kaniah Progress.

IOLal VALUATION ---.-----..So, ,IlC, oO.uU
*The 1923 personal property tax roll
win not be sent the county auditor un-
til the first Monday of December, so
the 1923 valuation above is only an
estimate.
The reduction of the 1923 valuation
is caused by a general reduction of
about $50 in the assessed value of all
agricultural lands, as made by the
county assessor, but this reduction is
partially offset by an increase in the
assessed valuation, made by the state
board of equalization, over the assess
ment as made by the county assessor,
as follows:
All business lots were increased 1917
All residence lots were increased 154o
Lumber was increased .209t |
Hogs were decreased ...-..-...-.---20% |
These changes made by the state
board of equalization increased the
total valuation $53,075.0O which |
amount is included in the above total
