PAN YOUR TAXES

Under the new law for the collec-
tion of taxes, undpid taxes become
delinquent after the first Monday in
October. The county courts have
absolutely no jurisdiction in the
premises, and do not have the right
to extend for day the time for the
collection of unpaid taxes. Under
the old law regulating the collection
of taxes, the payment Of the same be
came delinquent after April LIST, but
the county court had the authority
to make such extensions of time in
which to make the collections as was
deemed proper. But the county court
has no power to act in this relation
under the new law, and taxes will
become delinquent after the first Mon
day in October
Section 10, of the new law, treats
with the delinquent roll, and pre-
Scrihos when and in what manner it
shall be made as follows:
If any Of the taxes mentioned in
the roll shall remain unpaid, and
the sheriff shall be unable to collect
the same, he shall Immediately after
the first Monday of October extend
tile amount of the tax ON each several
parcels of real property, and upon the
personal property assessed to each
individual, in column provided
for such purposes ON the tax roll,
headed delinquent and shall return
such roll, together with statement
compiled there from and entered
thereon showing the total amount
Of taxes collected. the total amount
OF double assessments and other
errors " etc.
Subsequent sections Of the act pro
yidod that after the examination by
the county clerk Of the roll, and
when the proper credits have been
made for errors, etc, then the roll
shall be returned to the sheriff with
"a warrant commanding him to sell
the property upon which the tax was
levied So it vii be seen that the
county court has no voice in the
matter. The time when the unpaid
taxes become delinquent en- the roll
now being collected is regulated en-
tirely by the statute, and there will
be no extension Of time this year.

GOVERNOR GAGE TURNED
DOWN.

After fighting one Of the most
bitter political battles in his public
career, Governor Gage of California
suffered defeat in the republican
state convention DR.. Pardeo of
Oakland WAS his strongest opponent
from the start. He received the
unanimous nomination Of the conven-
tion ON the sixth ballot.
The day was an exciting one and
the scenes attendant ON the ballot
ing for governor were full of the
deepest interest. Almost equal to
the interest Of the delegates that was
shown by the large crowd OF specta-
tors which filled the large space in
the rear of the hall. Every ballot
was waited for with an eagerness that
showed that every individual in
the hall was deeply interested in
the result.
At late hour It looked as il the
fight might be between DIR, Pardoe
and Thomas Flint, Jr,, but after u
night 5 rest the Gage forces came
up stronger than ever and for awhile
1t looked Ms If he might have chance
of winning in spite of the strength
of the opposition.
Balloting began as soon as the con
vention was called to order The
fourth ballot showed Gage 830ts I;
Flint, pa; Pardee, 1877; Hayes, 81;
Edison, 81
The sixth ballot gave Pardoc,

"GREAT SNAKES. 3"

If reports be true, travellers between
Lakeview and the state line would
do well to carry along with them
either a big club, shotgun or some
antidote, as protection against
rattlesnakes. Recently, while on the
public highway near the Deter place,
Mrs, T H. Cloud, Miss Eva Amick
and Miss Mae Miller encountered a
monster, that showed fight. The trio
of sweet femininity doubtless looked
good to his snakeship, and he i'm
mediately began climbing into the
buggy. The ladies were particular
as to the sort of company they want
ed on the drive, and they Immediately
jumped out and gave the rattlcr full
possession. He crawled up the front
wheel spokes, poised on the axcl and
then climbed into the seat. He struck
the cushion few times with his
fangs, to show the ladies what he
would have done TO them had they
been charmed by his presence, and
then crawled over the dashboard to
the ground. Miss Eva Amick who
was holding the horse by the bit,
while her companions were hunting
the high places, looked the snake in
the eye as he crawled toward her,
and in gentle voice addressed him ::
"Begone, vile rcptilcr' and that one
moment she became the heroine.
The snake dropped dead in his
tracks" He was charmed, and died
of heart trouble. The snake story is
founded ON facts" and can be yeri-
fed The ladies declare they did no t
have "single bit of antidote for
snake poison with them. -Lakeview
Examiner.

IT HAS COME TO THE FRONT.

IT HAS COME TO THE FRONT.
The rapidity with which the Disc
Graphophone has come to the front
is due to the fact that the quality Of
the records has been constantly i'm
proved, from the time this tpye Of
machine began to be made by the
Columbia Phonograph Company
the pioneers and leaders in the talk
ing machine art The advantages Of
fiat, thin and indestructible records
were always recognized but the manu-
facturers who attempted to make
them failed so lamentably in pro
ducing anything to compare with the
cylindrical records used on the
graphophone that the demand for
them was unimportant. All that IL
changed the Columbia Disc Records
are delight If you have not
heard them you can form no idea Of
the advance that has been made in
them. The disagreeable scratch and
the muffied effect has been replaced by
a smoothness, naturalness and bril-
liancy which gives to thier reproduc-
tion a most charming effect.
The Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at Sl5, $40 and
$50. Seven inch records SOC each, s.
per dozen; 10 inch records 81 each,
$40 per dozen. The GraphopboDe and
Columbia Records were awarded the
Grand prize at the Paris Exposition
of 1900.

The citizens of Los Angeles have
expended nearly $3.50, 900 within the
past ten years in advertising, ex-
hibitions, etc, for the purpose of at
tracting settlers and otherwise adver-
tising their city. 1t might be per
tinent to add that Los Angeles showed
the largest percentage Of gain in
population during those ten years Of
any city in America. The citizens Of
Grants Pass will do well to consider
this proposition. Money invested in

is simply out on interest.

One third or more Of the industries OF
The United States have passed from the
ownership of individuals or local corpo-
rations into great bodies Of property
known as the trusts. Should the process
go on until all our industries are thus

think probable, the so-called trusts VIII
have absorbed nearly one-siXth OF all the
wealth OF all kinds in the United States.
The remedy. in general terms, it IS
net difficult to state The first thing to
do is to abandon the present policy OF
o,,tlawry and determination. That policy
has failed. TO suggest concrete action IS
,erhaps more difficult. It should include
the repeal OF the Sherman act Logically
and impartially enforced, that act for
BIDS two grocers, on opposite corners OF
the street, from forming a co-partnership
to save expenses; partially enforced, 1t
pats the industries OF the land at the

side the Law.
sThe law should provide against artifi-
-lal prices, brought about either by cor
nel,:ng of supply or q conspiracy; also
against discrimination in prices as to
other buyers or places, as affected by the
oct. There should be provision for open
looks for State examinations by some
