CITY ASSUMES CONTROL
County Viii No Longer Be Per mitted
TO Handle Road Tax Paid by
Citizens of independence.

The new charter of the city Of Inde-
pendence is probably different from
any other charter in the state, in that
it contains a provision that the county
road tax due from the inhabitants of
that city shall be worked on the
streets, alleys and bridges inside the
city limits. The authority of the
County Court to create road districts,
appoint road supervisors, and lay out
or work highways inside the limits of
Independence is taken away, and the
city and its inhabitants are removed
from the jurisdiction of the Court to
that extent The peculiar section
referred to was printed in Fridays
West Side and reads as follows:
Section SO. The power and authority
given by the general laws of the State
to the County Court of Polk County
to divide said county into road
districts, to appoint road supervisors,
to lay out or work highways, to license
the sale of liquors and to grant free
ferry license, shall not apply or ex-
tend to the territory within the limits
Of the City of Independence, Polk
County, Oregon, but said territory
and the inhabitants thereof are here
by excepted out of the jurisdiction of
said court upon said subjects; pro-
vided, however that the Street Com
missioner shall work the county road
tax due from inhabitants Of the city
on the streets, alleys and bridges
thereof, after the manner prescribed
by the Road Supervisors; and he shall
have the same power and authority to
enforce the payment of such road tax
in work or money as provided in such
general law for Road Supervisors; f;
but all suits, actions, or proceedings
concerning road or street work, or
road or poll taxes, shall be prosecuted
in the name Of the City of Inde-
pendence. He shall report the appli-
cation Of said work or money collected
in lieu thereof to the Council"

WANTS MOODY FOR SENATOR

Says the Baker City Maverick: "It
is written in the stars that Oregon
will send Moody back to Washington
but not as member of the lower
house. 1t is also written that Ore
gon-the new Oregon, politically
speaking-will not make John Rand
a congressman from the Second
district, or any other district. He
may eventually be president, minister
to the court of st. James, envoy to the
state of Swat, or consul to Cockalorum.
But congressman! Not on your photo
button! Moody is by long odds the
biggest man in the republican party
Of Oregon-east of the mountains.
Even eliminate that final qualifying
phrase, and truth remains.
'The biggest mistake the party ever
made was when it defeated Moody for
reelection to congress and chose j.
Newt Williamson. If the party has a
red corpuscle of good blood remaining
in its veins, it should acknowledge its
error manfully, and after apologizing,
make reparation, not by granting
Moody's wish to represent the Second
district in the Congress Of the United
States, but by recognizing his qualifl-
cations and well-earned right to
represent this state in the most dis
tinguished legislative body in the
world-the senate.
CAS- a matter of cold, hard and
naked truth, Moody was one of the
best congressman ever sent from Ore
gon to Washington by the dominant
party. He did things back there in
the national capitol-he earned his
salary, and that's whole lot to say
about public servant these days.
What he did as congressman he will
10 as senator.
The maverick who writes this pain
fully admits that he fought Moody
Tor reelection in the last state con-
yention. He is heartily ashamed of /
admission which may or 4
may not be relevant to a discussion of /
Noody's qualifications; but this much /
S impossible OF refutation: There /
are big lunches of republicans in
his Second district who are likewise
ashamed Of themselves, and would
a chance to ease their
and incidentally honor a
rood man by giving him a boost
oward the United States senate"

TRAGEDY AT CORVALLIS
Married Daughter Of w. w. Collins
Found Dead With Bullet-HoIe
in Her Head

The Telegram's Corvallis CORE
spondent SAYS that utmost mystery
surrounds the apparently self-infiicted
death of the young wife of Burt Lacey,
of that city. which occurred Tuesday
afternoon between s and 6 P. NJ.
When Mr.. Lacey who has for the past
ten years acted as head salesman for
J. H. Harris & Co., Of Corvallis,
reached home Tuesday evening, he
found his wife lying dead on the hoor
of the bedroom, and beside her %
rife, which apparently had caused her
death. The bullet had entered near
the temple and penetrated the brain.
The verdict Of the Coroner's jury
was suicide, but death may have been
due to either murder or accident
Mrs. Lacey was a daughter of WV.
Collins, one of the wealthy farmers OF
Polk county, and the family is one OF
the most respected and honored in the
valley. A sister is the wife of Edward
WIles. one of the most prominent and
wealthy young farmers of Benton
County.
Mrs. Lacey had many friends in
Dallas, where she often visited rela-
tives during her girlhood. She pos,
sessed a sunny, jovial disposition, and
was apparently very happy in her
home life. Her mysterious death has
cast a gloom over the city in which
she resided.

Telephone to Salmon River.

John Boyer came out from his
ranch on Salmon River, Tuesday, and
will work in the harvest fields until
the close of the threshing season. He
says that the Salmon River country
is being developed rapidly, and that
many new people are arriving to
make their homes. The settlement
has a good store, schoolhouse, and
daily mail, and a telephone line is be-
ing built to connect with the valley
mutual system at Sheridan. The
country along the coast between
Salmon River and SiIetz Bay is being
converted into stock and dairy
ranches, and a cheese factory is
among the early possibilities. D. L.
Keyt, the well-known Polk county
merchant, has opened a store on Drift
creek and carries a good stock of
general merchandise. DR.. Tyler
Smith is getting his toll-road in ex-
cellent shape, and the number of
campers at the Salmon River beach is
greater this summer than ever before.

SPRAY FOR FRUIT TREES
County Inspector j. B. Num- Give:
Two Formulas That Have
Stood All Tests.

As Fruit Inspector for Polk county
my duties will be to inspect fruit trees
and orchards to see if they are free
from disease; to see that the horti
cultural laws as to spraying fol
codling moth and other infections ol
trees are observed, and to prevent the
sale of wormy or diseased apples,
pears or other fruits.
The best and cheapest spray for
codling moth is arsenate of lead
which can be purchased of any drug
store in the county. The price in
Dallas is 20 cents a pound. Two
pounds will make so gallons of spray
ing material. This spray will not
burn the leaves. 1t is prepared as
follows: Put two pounds of lead in
two gallons of water and stir until it
is dissolved then pour it into the So
gallon tank. President Smith, of the
Horticultural Society, says it is 50 per
cent cheaper than any other spray, as
it will last longer and rain won'twash
it off like other spraying compounds.
Spray No. 2. For scab on apples
and pears, when the trees are in
foliage, use the Bordeaux mixture.
Dissolve 3 pounds Of blue vitriol in
water; dissolve pounds of lime in
water. Use separate vessels for the
lime and vitriol. After dissolving,
pour together. This will make 50
gallons of spraying material. This
can be used with the Lead spray put
together For information, write or
phone me. Bell phone No. 314, Dallas,

existing conditions, went directly 10
the Polk county booth. Finding no
body there, he invited himself inside
the railing and looked around a bit
Dirt and confusion met his gaze. On
the floor. a miscellaneous heap Of IN
placed exhibits; here, a plate Of
cherries so badly wilted that they were
sticking together; there, half-dozeD
plates of rotten strawberries covered
with mold that looked like long. blue
whiskers It was not sight calcu-
lated to win the admiration of
strangers or make a man proud of
his county. Another visit, two weeks
later, disclosed even a worsecondition.
for the reason that decayed cabbage
had been added to the list.
Another regrettable feature, pain
fully noticeable, was that neither Mrs.
Wolfe nor her daughter took any
pains whatever to entertain strangers
or give them any information about
Polk county. Visitors who seemed
really interested in the exhibit re-
ceived no attention, and usually, after
few passing glances, passed on to
the booth Of some other county. No
information was volunteered by Polk's
superintendent and if a stranger
mustered up courage to ask a question
or two, he was answered in
monosyllables. While the day was
warm and pleasant elsewhere on the
grounds, the thermometer in the Polk
county booth stood at 10 degrees below
zero.
No possible excuse can be offered
for this negligence and indifference.
The County Court is paying Mrs.
Wolfe big wages, and is trying to
help her make an attractive exhibit.
Whether the display is great or small,
it can at least be kept neat and clean,
and decent welcome can be given to
strangers. 1t is almost as easy to be
clean as it is to be dirty, aud civility
costs nothing.
The OBSERVER has no desire to offer
any harsh criticism and regrets that
Mrs. Wolfe has proved incapable of
successfully filing her position. But
the fact remains that the business
interests Of Polk county demand a
change in the management of the ex-
hibit. If present conditions are per-
mitted to continue, the money spent
on the display will prove worse than
wasted, Polk county has the greatest
it has ever had, or will
ever have, to advertise its resources,
and the personal interests of no one
man or woman should be permitted to
stand in the way when the good of the
whole county is at stake.
The Fair is not yet half over; two
and one-half months-the best |
remain. Eastern travel |
is just setting in, and it will continue
TO grow heavier from now until the |
closing day. With a competent super
intendent in charge of the Polk county
exhibit, much good work could yet be
accomplished, A superintendent who
would take an interest in the exhibit
and keep it clean and inviting, and |
who would extend the hand of welcome !
o strangers and tell them of Polk
county, its unlimited and varied |
and the advantages it offers
% homeseekers, would be able to
attract many visitors to this garden
spot Of the Willamette Valley-and
his is the whole object of the county
exhibit. 1t is to be hoped that the
county Court, at its session next
week, will select some competent per-
ION to take charge of the exhibit.
