FREDONIA BANK FAILURE.
Receiver Says seeming False Entries In

BUFFALO, July 3,-United States Attorney
Brown received word here this morning
from Receiver Schofield of the Fredonia
National Bank that the seeming false
entries upon tho books Of the bank, whereby
it appeared that Cashier Frederick Green
had distracted funds of the bank. did not
appear now to be anything more than
errors in bookkeeping. Green was arrested
a short time ago on the charge of falsifying
the books of the bank He is out on $40 900
bail. In view OF Mr. Schohelds statement,
it is very likely that the charges against
Green will be dropped.

The increases in the real and personal
assessments represent the normal growth
OF the city. In the list Of assessments OF

policy was put into effect, are for the most

500 to be raieed by taxation.
The reduction in the tax rate will be an
agreeable surprise to taxpayers, who had
been led to believe that because Of the
large budget there would be an increase.
One OF the causes which have made the
lessening Of the rate possible Is the bill the
administration had passed by the Legislature
taking from the budget the advances made
by the city to property owners for their
share Of the cost Of street openings and
improvements. Hitherto the city has al
lowed the property owners. to pay their
assessments during term OF years and the
shortage was provided for in the budget.
The new bill allows the city to issue assess
ment bonds on account OF these payments
and the bonds are Cancelled "a the assess
ments are paid.

have been held on the personal tax rolls
are.

KING EDWARDS RELATIONS.
Genealogists Find $4,000 in the Royal
Family of England.

Genealogists who have traced the
blood royal of Britain have found
that people so widely different as
Archbishop Temple and Sir Wilfred
Lawson are relatives of the king.
There are 36,735 persons whose de-
scent can be clearly and undisputa-
bly, traced to be of royal lineage. In
addition to these, nearly double that
huge number has some connecting
link more or less established.
The great family of Jones have
over 1000 members who come of
royal blood. The Smiths are we'll
represented; and over 1000 Wilson's
are of the line. If you are called
Churchill you may sifely pride your
self on royal connection, for nearly
all of that great family are linked
however remotely, with blue blood

also this distinction. Another name
with its variations, which is largely

WILD WATERMELoNs.
Imperial Valley, California, Has n
Curious Plague.

Watermelons have become a plague
in the Imperial valley of Southern
California. The domestic melon has
gone back to its wild state, and the
rank vines are choking out wheat,
barley and other crops, causing heavy
losses on the larger ranches. When
the Imperial canal brought water
three years ago to a vast area of des-
ert country, some of the ranchers
planted small patches of melons for
family use.
The seeds of these melons were
scattered wide by flooding the lands
in the process of irrigation, and they
took root and bore fruit, most of
which rotted on the vines, leaving
large quantities of new seed to float
away to new, territory.
The melons have gone back to the
wild state. While retaining the color
and markings of the domestic melons,
they have become the little, wild fruit
from which the domestic melon was
first bred, ranging in size from an
apple to a cocoanut.
Though very small, these wild mel
ons are red, juicy and sweet as honey
exceeding, If possible, the flaYor of the
garden melon.

Speaking of a mass meeting held at
Sumpter for the purpose of securing
the repeal of the Eddy tax law, the
Sumpter Miner says:
The main object of the meeting is
to inaugurate a campaign for the re-
peal of the Eddy corporation tax law.
Representative Smith is the only
member of the state legislature who
follows mining as a profession. Con-
sequently the burden of the work in
securing the repeal of the Eddy law,
which is an obnoxious and objection
able measure, when viewed from the
standpoint of the miner, mine pro-
moter and mining stock broker, falls
upon him.
Ever since election, Mr.. Smith has
been quietly gathering data in sup
port of his contention that the Eddy
law is bad one, and tonights mass
meeting is to be the occasion of firing
many heavy guns before the conven-
ing of the next legislative session at
Salem.
Continuing, the Miner gives an in
terview with Tom Gray, a mining
promoter, whose sentiment is a sam
pie of the opposition to the Eddy law,
and Is as follows:
Every time I think of it l lose my
temper. ! feel an irresistible inclina-
tlon to go down to Salem, bump up
hard against those webfoot farmers
and cent-per cent merchants of the
Willamette valley, who have thrust
this Eddy law upon us, and tell them
in good, forceful, inelegant but high
ly expressive mining camp English,
exactly what I think of them.
Here we are, compelled by the
state>of Oregon to pay for the blessed
privilege of living. We are taxed first
by the county (and often under an
eXorbitAnt levy, out of which the
state cuts a big slice. Our personal
property, in the way of mining equip
ment, milling plant, tools, powder.
bunk houses and boarding houses,
and our patented mining ground. are
taxed often to the limit.
What do we get in return? Does
either the state or the county build
roads for our benefit? Does the state
maintain bureau of mines, or a min
eral exhibit for the advertisement of
the industry? Does the state, with the
| money taken from our pockets main
tain a college of mines? Does 1t dc
anything for our benefit?
mot on your life, The state says
to us: You will kindly pay us little
more money for the privilege of doing
business within the borders of this
commonwealth. If you do not, your
charter will be revoked
"As I said before, the federal gov
ernment compels the miner to expend
annually the sum of 500 on his min
ing claim, thereby encouraging devel-
opment. And now the state of Oregon
steps in and compels the miner-no
to dig deeper hole, not to expent
more money In developing his minera
holdings-but to pay direct into thu

compelled to pay an annual tax o

is depriving my company of the abilit,
to drive maybe 10 feet of tunnel, or t
sink shaft in pay ore, instead of re
quiring that labor be done in develop
