GAIN OF KOOTENAI
j
The Kootenai Country the Most Prosperous
Section of the State of Idaho.
$2,000,000 IN WEALTH
State Auditor Bragaw has given
out the figures of the assessed value
of the state, exclusive of the rail
roads, the assessment upon which
will bo determined by the stale
board of equalization now in ses
sion. The figures show that Idaho
gained more than $10,000,000 in
assessed valuation during the past
year, an increase of more than 14
It is gratifying to note that Koot
enai county leads ever}' county in
the state. The gain in Kootenai,
exclusive of railroads, is over two
million dollars! In 1905 the as
per cent.
$2,32V,301. This
is $4,360,304. When the
sessment was
year it
railroad, telegraph and telephone
assessment is added to this, the
total assessment of the county will
total over $7,000,000. Kootenai is
now the fourth county in the state,
and were it to remain intact for
another year would undoubtedly
take first place, passing Ada county
in which Boise is located, and
which now stands first, and has

a valuation of $9,000,000 but gain- 1
ed only $100,000 last year,
However, the proud distinction I
of being the first county in the state,
can not now be attained owing
to the fact that Kootenai county
will be divided at the next session
of the legislature. Its territory
;
will embrace two strong, husky ;
counties, however, nd each of them !
growing faster than any other
counties of the state, because of |
their greater, un eveloped resour
rces.
The financial candition of the
government of Kootenai county is
also in splendid shape. The debt
has been reduced to less than half
what it was two years ago it being
now only $142,358.
Idaho offers better inducements
to the homeseeker and investor
than any' other state in the Union
and the Kootenai country, the best
part of the state, as is shown by the
figures. These are facts that a
good many people can and will
ponder over with profit.

We adopt this means as it is the
only way we have of getting
in touch with the parents and
letting them know what is going
on in their schools. Without co
operation of the parents in the
home, the work of the teacher
avails but little. The most aggra
vated cases of discipline in the
schools grows out of a misunder
standing between the school and
the home.

of developing the intellectual side
