PLANTING AND PRUNING.
William A1brecht Gives a few Season
able Suggestions.

This is the month for planting
and pruning. Roses should be
planted while in a dormant state;
for, if removed for transplanting
while the sap is flowing freely, and
the plant is in vigorous growing
condition, there occurs too great a
shock-one from which the plant
does not easily recover
Plants of delicate habit and weqk
growth require severe pruning
Those that are vigorous in growth
should have the shoots only moder-
ately shortened, but the branches
should be we'll trimmed out.
Rustic work having shaved sur
faces ought to receive coat or two
of linseed oil yearly. Vases, trelli-
ses or other painted garden wor k
may now be put in order bv clean
ing and painting. Prepare new
trellises in good season.
Pruning of trees1 and shrubs is
now in order. Manure. whether
gardening for pleasure or for profit.
The ground must not be cropped
year after year-not even of the
grass = without returning some
equivalent in the form of manure.
Well decomposed stable manure. if
it can be produced, should be pre-
ferred to all others.

FINED I'M FORTY DOLLARS.
And Wanted to Fight In Court-Tfou-
i dc bies Tor Fan Tan PlaIers.5 9

/
Chin Me is a Corvallis Cbinansan
who is $40 poyrer in this worlds
goods than he was Saturday night.
The money with which he pared
is in the Golfers of the, city of Cor
Wallis. and is the price of a violated
gambling statute. Mr.. Me was
fined in Judge Greffoz court Mon
day morning, and for atime itlook-
ed as though he would elect to go
to Jail: He stood silent and sullen,
until after repeated notice from
Chief Lane to "Come on and go, to
jail" he finally dug up two shining
$40 pieces and reluctantly handed
them over to the officers. A ter
that he left the place. nursing. it is
certain, fierce thirst for revenge
on the men that brought fnanci Il
depression on him.
Mr.. me is the proprietor of a
wash house few doors north Of
the Farmers Hotel. Several mon
tbs ago his place was raided by the
officers, and fan tan game surpri-
'sed in full operation. All the play
ers pleaded guilty and each was re-
quired to pay the minimum fine
under the law. The raid seems not
to have broken up the game, for
Saturday night-Jim Sing. the res,
taurant man lodged a complaint
with the officers against Chin Me
to the effect that the latter was run
ming fan tan game.
The complaint was the result of
the old story of a row between the
players. It nearly resulted in a
riot in the Office OF the police Judge
when the defendant and his accu ser
stood face to face. Chin Me declar,
ed that jim Sing owed him $Ioo
and Jim promptly announced that
Chin Mewas a liar. Even the austere
mien of His. Honor failed toimpress
the two heathen, and in defiance
of all court rules they flew at each
other with war and blood all over
i the horizon. His Honor called for
peace, but there was no peace. He
commanded silence, but the respon-
Sc was turbulent mixture of Chi
nese oaths and celestial jabbering
Determined that his court should
not be the scene of a Boxer uprising
the Judge laid violent hands on the
combatants and compelled a truce
Chin Me has most of the Chin Il
men in town in his debt. Louis
the cook. who draws salary ofs5c
per month owes him $11, Jim Sing
! $Ioo and various other of his couu,
jtrymen sums of varying amounts.
His game is apparently one of tbs
; most thrifty enterprises in town.

COLLECTING TAXES now.
Roll the First in the State to Reach
dJk the eeSheriff4 The Figures s :

4 ilt-s 4 ri aEI ~
Tax collecting began at the shers
IFS Office Yesterday. and several
payments were made during the
day. The Benton roll is the first
in the state to be completed, Clerk
Moses having turned the big record
over to ssSheriff Burnett last Fri
day. The present is the second in
stance in which Clerk Moses has
been the first county clerk in the
state to complete his roll and
turn it over for tax collection.
The total taxes to be collected in
Benton, as shown by the completed
roll is SS5.o37.42. The amount
was about $50. 900 last year.. The
aggregate is increased enormously
this year by the state tax which is
more than the entire amount to be
collected for county expenses. The
figures of the state tax are S24 745,
while, the figures for county expen-
ses are $22,337. Out of this S22.-
337.4o all the rebate allowed on
taxes has to. come, so that the
amount the county actually realizes
is the above figures less the rebate.
The rebate usually amounts to $17.
90 or 81, 300. so that the total
amount that will be collected for
county expenses will only aggregate
about $40, 500, or more than$4 BOO
less than the amount collected for
state tax. 49,,
The state school tax is another
item that also swells the final aggre-
gate very largely. The figures are
$I5, 6e3, or within about $1,000 of
the entire amount to be collected
for countysexpenses. The various
items of taxes, the amounts of each
and what and where collected for
areas, follows:

In Taxes-And Where to Find the
Amount-Sheriff Burnett's Plan.
: Last year, Sheriff Burnett tried
the experiment of placing a numb
er of lists OF The taxpayers and the
amount of the taxes of each in sew
eral places in the various precincts.
The preparation of the lists. with
$500 taxpayers in the county. in
volved a large amount of work at
the sheriff's Office. but it turned out
to be such convenience to the tax
payers that Sheriff Burnett has
put the same plan into execution
again this year. Lists of every
taxpayer in each precinct, some
times three or four lists in each
precinct have been prepared, and
sent out. By reference to these
lists the taxpayer can ascertain
the amount of his taxes and send
in the money without making
special trip to the county seat for
the purpose. Lists are to be found
at the following places:

VOY AGE. ENDS
WITH DISCOVERY
Two Women Stowaways Are
Found on Ship Balclutha
as She Passes Beyond Heads
PLEADINGS AREIGNORED
Unconventional Females Are
Returned to the City on
the Pilot-BOat Oracle s

Two enterprising but unconventional
ship Balaclutha, which sailed for the
northern canneries by way of Lady
smith. Their presence on board was
not discovered by Captain Bremen until
some time after the towboat which
took the vessel to sea had cast off it's
hawser. In spite of the fact that re-
turn would spoil the early start and
mean perhaps hours of tedious tacking
to make a good offiag by nightfall, the
Balaclutha was put about and with
pilot signals flying headed for the light
ship.
The women, who gave the names of
Mary Gomez and Annie Gonzales, were
transferred to the pilot boat Oracle s,
which last night brought them back TO
the city.
The Ralacutha is one of the salmon
fleet and has on board about 200 fisher
men and cannery hands. Strong drink
flowed freely prior to the vessels de-
parture. and when she left the wharf
inebriated friends waved drunken fare
wells to a gloriously intoxicated COM
pany of departing toilers. Fights min
eled with the good-bys, and in the con-
fusion it was an easy matter for the
two women to go into concealment on
board the ship. They were discovered
in the Strengthening out process which
follows when sail is set and all aloft
made snug.
When the Oracle S dropped her an
chor off Meiggs wharf the two women
were transferred to a skiff and rowed
ashore They were boosted up the bulk
head ladder at the barge office, and
when last seen were scudding for a
Powell street car.
