Seek To Protect Forests

10 Have Next Legislature
Change the Law.

Few people realize the value of the
standing timber of the country. though
it Is really one of the greatest re-
sources of Oregon. Every thousand
feet manufactured into lumber means
the expenditure of from $40 to $50 in
labor; therefore the interest of the
public and the owners is mutual. the
forests must not be wasted by fires or
otherwise. BY conserving the timber
the benefits to be derived in the future
by the public as well as the owners are
almost incalculable, though this, like
great many others of our latent re.
sources, has seldom been given a
thought by the majority of our peo.
pie, when in fact it is one of the
most important propositions we have
before us.

into fuel.
Under present conditions, our saw
mill men are making but from 81 to
SO per thousand for handling, and our
merchants and laborers receiving from

tree that is cut.
Those who have been making a
study of the question of forest fires
are convinced that unless something is
done to put a stop to them, the timber
will within few years be aim st en-.
tirely destroyed, and they have also
concluded that at least 80 per cent of
the fires are started by hunters. As it
is impossible to follow up the hunters
the timber men have inaugurated a
movement TO shorten the deer hunt

But Grants Pass Fruits take the
prizes wherever they are exhibited
and the judges at the Medford fair
were compelled to award them the
prize In this instance. George A.
Hamilton, living at Fruitdale, three
miles Southeast of town sent over a
hastily prepared exhibit of apples the
evening before the fair ope ned and
made eleven entries. He received
10 prizes seven firsts, one second and
two thirds. The list follows:
First prize-Spitzenberg.

ON DELINQUENT LIST

Beginning last Monday all taxes
remaining unpaid on the 1907 roll are
delinquent and, according to the law
enacted by the last Legislature may be
paid by any party desiring to acquire
tax title to the property involved.
The new law does away with adver.
tising the delinqent tax list, but pro.
vides that taxes may be paid by any
person who shall receive from the
sheriff upon the payment of the
amount of the taxes and fee of 80
cents, delinqent certificate which
shall bear interest at the rate of Is
per cent per annum until redeemed.
In order to acquire taxtitle to the
property the taxes must be- paid for
three consecutive years, at the end of
which period foreclosure suit must be
br1ught by the county upon payment
of the sum of 81 to the county clerk
The procedure in the foreclosure suit
is the same in foreclosing mortgage
aga INST any real property
Until title has been acquired
through the circuit court the owner
of the property may at any time pay
the taxes, together with the penalty
and interest, aud redeem the same.
In case this is done the taxes and the
interest at the rate of Is per cent go
to the party holding the delinquent

News has leaked out that a road
construction company. formed with
prominent farmers or this county as
the members and officers, is in the
embryo, says the Mayheld Monitor.
The plans a the proposed company
are being kept strictly secret and the
exact details OF their plans are ex-
tremely hard to learn. Enough has
come to'light, however, to justify one
in the belief that the company will be
a success
Mayield and county capital win

In road making will he procured and
placed in charge of the actual road
work. The farmers will ask the coun-
tH contracts and will probably ask
the fiscal court to bond the county IN a
sum large enough to permit of at
least four main roads being built run
ming from the east line of the county
TO the west and from the north line
TO the Tennessee state line.
II is pr6posedby the promoters OF
the enterprise to use a sifted gravel.
the smallest to be about the size of
walnut, for a base bed for the road
and TO bind the surface of the road
with crushed limestone.
Prominent men among the promot-
ers of the company state that every
farmer in the county will be asked
TO subscribe for certain amount of
the stock so that hould any profits
accrue from the enterprise the money
would 60 back into the pockets OF
these who paid II out. These gentle
men say that II is not so much the
desire OF the promoters TO make any
large income on the business but 10
pave the highways Of the county and
contend that this can best be done By
private contract rather than by
direct control,by the county.
1t is estimated that the cost OF
roads built in this manner will no,
exceed as an average $500 per mile.

in this county being far in excess OF
that.

"THE GREAT DIVIDE"
Henry Mnler's' Greatest Production TO
PLAY Here.

THE Great Divide" the most strik-
ing dramatic success the American
stage has seen for quarter of a CEN
fury. will be played at The Kentucky
on Thursday, January 2S. No drama
of recent years has attracted as much
as "Tho Great Divide" For nearly
two entire seasons II attracted crowd
ed houses to the Princess and Days
theaters, New York, and has just re-
Gently gone on tour, after being pre-
sented in the metropolis over 500
times The presentation will be under
the direction of Henry Miller, whose
name inseparabX linked with the
success of the play. The cast was
selected by this distinguished actor
manager with great care, and the pro-
duction is an exact duplicate in every
detail of the Ne WORK original. The
story Of the play represents conflict
between the free, untrammelled spirit
of the west and traditions and con-
ventionality of the east. IT tells the
romance of an eastern woman and a
western man, whose wooing was pass
ing strange and whose married life
together was turbulent and dramatic
in the extreme. Written by William
Moody, the foremost of Americas
younger poets, THE Great Divide"
possesses literary qualities such as are
very rare In plays that are satisfac-
tory from an acting standpoint. The
story is told in unctious, picturesque
prose illuminated by a glowing and
virile imagination and replete with
witty epigramatlc dialogue brilliant
with scintillating humor.
