Of the four large transcontin- ental railroad lines which cross the state only the Milwaukee got a reduction, and it was small. Valuations on the main line were a mile on 98 miles—a cut of only $196,000. : Valuations on branch fluctuated, but small decreases were balanced by increases. The Boise branch of Oregon Short Line, which has heretofore been assessed at $40,000 was raised to $45,000. Alike increase was made on the Twin Falls branch and the second track between McCammon and Pocatello was assessed at $20,000 a mile—just double last year’s assessment. The Pacific & Idaho Northern for which some members pleadea in vain because of its poor finan- | cial condition was assessed at $2000 a mile. Last year it was assessed at $1500. The assessment of the Conti- nental Telegraph company, a subsidiary of the Milwaukee| railroad, was reduced from $90 | to $60 a wire mile, while the | Western Union’s assessment was increased from $100 to $116 a| wire mile. | Contrary to expectations no | effort was made to any of the| board members to get a reduc- tion in valuations on the pro- perties of the Idaho Power com- pany.

About 12:30 o’clock last Sat- urday night, on the main street at Kamiah, Cecil Fuqua, the 14- year-old son of A. B. Fuqua, of the Kamiah Garage, backed an automobile over Edwin Hawkins, an 11-year-old lad, severely in- juring the latter’s neck and right ankle and tearing two low- cr ribs from his spine. A dane» was in progress at the Jewel Theatre, and the Hawkins boy and another lad by the name |of Nickle, who were there with their folks, decided to go home. Out on the street they met young Fuqua with his auto, and were told to get on and ride. Ags they jumped on the running board s on either side of the car, Fauqua shot the machine ahead. throwing them off. Then, thc story goes, Fuqua reversed hi: car, catching the Hawkins lac gefore he had time to scramble up from where he had fallen.
