LARGE INHERITANCE TAX. The heirs of Eugene R. Day wealthy northern Idaho mine operator, who died in February, 1922, paid to the state $23,364 in inheritance taxes. The gross amount of the estate as - filed with State Auditor E. G. Gallet, was $1,754,052 ; from this, $431,- 581 in debts was deducted. The balance was decreased by $467,- 534, the community interest of Agnes Loretta Day, his widow, and $147,489, the administra- tion costs, leaving $707,686 on which the transfer tax was paid. Harry L. Day and Jerome J. Day, brothers, and Eleanor Bernice Boyce and Blanch Ellis, sisters, each received equal shares of the estate, or $178,921, and each paid a tax of $5841. This transfer tax, added to the $44,248 received recently from the estate of John Broadbent, Boise millionaire, makes more than $67,000 the state has re- ceived in inheritance tax in two months. This exceeds all col- lections made during a similar period in the history of Idaho. No. 1 Folding Ansco $1 8-00 Pictures 2% x 3% Get more good snaps this summer ao easy with the No. 1 Folding Ansco.

TURNER DRUG STORE Prescription Druggist Vanilla, Chocolate Strawberry, Orange, Pineapple Ice Cream In stock all the time : IT’S HAZELWOOD @ Kendall's Konfectionery MAJESTY OF THE LAW. By Walt Mason. I don’t indorse that traffi¢ law which holds me down to thirty miles. it makes my spirit sore and raw, and from my map removes the smiles. I’d like to send my old tin bus streaks of lightning through the town, but law is sacred to the cuss who would enjoy a fair renown. And so I drive my creaking van with- in the limit law prescribes, though I am dubbed an also-ran by all the whizzing speedster tribes. My face is always sad and dour when to the road my bus I take.. For if we break through any laws because we do not like the same, from virtue’s path we then withdraw, and play an anarchistic game. The law prohibits stealing hens, and though this fills my soul with woe, no longer to my neighbor’s pens do I with sack at midnight vo. The law prescribes the demon rum, and though my thirst is truly great, I make no bootleg guy my chum, but seek the hydrant near the gate. COUNTY SEAT NEWS ITEMS. W.
