BOGUS TAX COLLECTORS.

The reported attempt of some rascal
to collect poll taxes from ignorant
Japanese in the county by impersonat-
ing Assessor Leonard has reached the
ears of the officials, and steps have
been taken to a%pprehend the bogus
official.
While this trick is probably a new
device for "raising the wind in this
state, in large cities, particularly San
Francisco, it has been a profitable
source of revenue to irresponsible and
INSCRIPTIONS ex-deputy assessors and
others familiar with tax-collecting
methods.
In our sister state to the west the
assessor not only collects the poll take.
but all personal property taxes not Sc
cured by real estate, as well. As 2
result. as soon as the genuine officials
start in on their collecting trips each
year in the large cities, gangs of bogus
officials, properly equipped with receipt
books, etc, begin work simultaneously,
and usually succeeds in collecting thous
ands of dollars before the fraud is dis
covered.
Our county officials are to be com
mended for their vigilance in uncover
ing the fraud before the tax payers had
been victimized to any great extent.

All good citizens pay their taxes
cheerfully and promptly, as a matter
of civic duty. That the taxpayers of
Humboldt county are good citizens is
attested from the fact that out of a
total of $5S,325.S9 of taxes due as the
second payment ON the 1907 roll, there
remains delinquent but 1929 so, or a
trifle over one fifth of one per cent,
1t is doubtful if there is another county
in the union that can make an equal
showing.

added to the temporary roll call of the

the determination of contests from

Explosion By Music.

One of the most dangerous of all ex-
plosives is black powder called iodide
Of nitrogen. When it is dry the slight
est touch viii often cause 1t to explode
with great violence. There appears to
be certain rate of vibration which
this compound cannot resist. In ex-
perlments to determine the cause Of
Its extreme eXplosiveness some damp
lOdide Of nitrogen was rubbed on the
strings Of a bass viol. 1t is known
that the strings of such an instrument
will vibrate when those Of a similar
instrument having an equal tension are
played upon. In this case, after the
explosive had become thoroughly dry
upon the strings, another bass VOL was
brought near and the strings sounded.
At certain note the iodide Of nitro
gen on the prepared instrument eX-
ploded. 1t was found that the explo-
sion occurred only when rate Of vi
bration Of sixty q second was com
municated to the prepared strings. VI
bration Of the G string caused an ex-
plosion, while that of the e string had
no effect.-Chicago Record Herald.

SOMETHING ABOUT TRAINED HORSES
Only Troupe of Western Range
Horses on Exhibition.

For the first time shown in public,
the troupe of real western range
horses, which will be with Buffalo
Bits Wild West, should attract un-
common attention. Never before
have the direct descendants of the
wild horse of the plains been broken
to do the tricks of the thoroughbred
circus horse. Ray Thompson is own
er of the troupe, and he is the man
who, after years of patient practice,
has successfully accomplished the
task of training a western range
horse.
The more subdue temperament of
the thoroughbred makes him amena-
BILE to the master hand. The we'll
bred circus horse is a fitting subject
for the trainers skill; but the west
ern range horse, born to the open,
resents the curb aud bit and starts
to bucking. Thus is unusual credit
due to Ray Thompson for the patience
and skill which he has evidenced in
breaking to the word of command his
troupe of outlaws.
Joe Bailey is the star performer in
the Thompson group, and he is said
to be the NEST perfect specimen of
equine beauty ever exhibited in pub
lie. He performs some really won
derful feats, is subservient to the
word of his trainers command and
has a nature which is the admiration
of everyone connected with the Buff
falo BIZ exhibition. There are sew
eral other clever horses in the
Thompson bunch, but Joe Bailey is
the star of the troupe. and he seems
to, know it. He is as susceptible to
human applause as human actor
| and seems to enjoy the center of the
| arena as much as his master enjoys
having him there.
| There are contrasting displays of
horesmanship and horseflesh with the
| WILD West, for in the same arena
where appears the gentle and talent
ed Joe Bailey, the wild bucking horse
of the plains, the spotted pony of the
Indian and the Arabian thorough Inbred ,
all ridden by characteristic types of
horsemen, all vieing in adversely of
ld.splays which is found only with the
Buffalo Bill Wild West. Then, too,
there are cavalry horses from Eng
land and Ireland, the Cossack with
his Russian horse, American cavalry
men in regulation tactics, and other
riders drawn from the equestrian ma
tions of the earth, to form up the
Congress of Rough Riders, which has
Buffalo Bill, ex-chief of scouts, the
only and original Buffalo Bill, as the
originator, leader and director of the
exhibition.
Other engaging features with the
Wild West will be the big Indian bat
ties, the war dances and pow-wows,
cowboy sports and pastimes. sharp
shooting by Johnny Baker and a
score of other attractive numbers
which go to form the most unique
exhibition eXtant.

SAM SLOANE
BACK AGAIN

Samuel G. Sloan, the veteran
Iowa newspaperrnnn and former
prominent citizen of Charles
City, Iowa. who spent some time
last winter in Grand Junction,
making n host of friends and
showing his faith in the Grand
valley by investing in some of
the best fruit land in the world,
is back in the city. He has been
extremely busy today eNchang-
ing greetings with friends who
are sincerely glad to again well
come him to Grand junction.
1t will be remembered that early
in the year, during February, Mr..
Sloan left Grand junction for Colo
RADIO Springs and entered the famous
Nordrach Ranch Sanitorium, located
near that city. Ese went there to
"chase the cure as Mr.. Sloan good
humoredly puts it. He is a sufferer
from lung trouble and is making a
brave fight to conquer the malady.
He was at the great sanitorium over
six months and his friends are glad
to note that his stay has greatly ben
efitted him even though permanent
cure has not yet been effected.
Mr.. Sloan arrived here last night.
He is accompanied by his sister-in-
law. Miss Mary Brockway, of Adel,
Iowa, who met Mr.. Sloan in Colorado
Springs a week or two ago. Miss
Brockway is en- route to Salt Lake
City and from there she will go to
Park City, Utah, for an extended
visit with a brother. Mr.. Sloan will
accompany Miss Brockway to Park
City and he will probably stay there
during the remainder of the sum-
mer. He has not decided whether
ne will spend the winter in Grand
Junction or in Colorado Springs.
