MAKES RECORD
IN COLLECTION
OF POLL TAX
SHERIFF. OWENS COLLECTS
$7,O74 DURING THE
PAST YEAR.

Yesterday morning the Bonanza
stated that the total amount of
poll tax collected during the past
year by Sheriff Owens amounted to
$2,75040. This was an error and
represented the collections of De-
cember. The total collections for
the year amount to $7,074.00
which is considerable in excess of
the amount collected by Esmeral-
da county. This sum represents
personal collections and not the
tax paid by property holders, which
is placed on The assessment roll
and paid direct to the county treas
urer.

the alarm was false as the de-

at the recent fire which destroyed
two dwellings.

Miss Beatrice Thompson Who

animation, offered no evidence and made
no arguments Neither side made any
question of the woman's insanity, and
the only question, following the jury's
decision, will be where the woman shall
be confined.
FIX Mayor Walter j. Bigelow, now Of
st. Johnsbury, told how the woman had
written him and interviewed him when

SUPPLY OF PAPER BIRCH
Not Decreasing Says United States De-
partment of Agriculture,

Washington, Oct. l3.-The u. S. de-
partment Of agriculture is authority for
the statement that the paper birch,
often called also white birch, or canoe
birch. Is one of the few timber trees in
this country which seem TO be holding
their own against axe and fire. The
average citizen, however, probably takes
no particular interest in the paper brcn.
Yet it is doubtful if any other kind
OF wood on the face of the earth is
found in so many households; for paper
birch furnishes most of the spools made
IN the United States.
Maine is the chief center OF spool
manufacture. Its factories turn out 500
million spools yearly, chiefly bircn, Few
woods as hard as this can be worked
with as little dulling of the tools; its
principal recommendation lies in that
fact. Ii is handsome in color, and, aft
er the wood becomes seasoned, it shrinks
and warps very little. That is an inn
portant consideration, because the deli
cate machinery that winds the thread
would fail 10 work if the spool changed
its shape to a perceptible degree.
The birch wood for spools must be Sc
lected and handled with care. The trees
red disk heartwood is Objectionable be-
cause it will not turn smooth in the
lathe, and the color is not desired. Few
industries waste more wood, in proper
ton to the quantity used, than spool
making. Heartwood, knots and all other
defects, frequently amounting to more
than one-half of the tree, are rejected.
From one-half TO three-fourths of the
remainder may go to the refuse heap in
saving the bars and turning the spools.
Despite this waste, the paper birch does
rot appear to be threatened with extinc-
ton Ii is a fire tree-that is, it spreads
rapidly over spaces left vacant by forest
fires The most extensive paper birch
forests of Maine and New Hampshire
occupy tracts which were laid bare by
the great forest fires which swept the
region from 1925 to 1887.
The tree is short lived At an age
when the white cedar, for example, is
Just beginning to lay on useful wood,
the paper birch has passed its prime
and is ready for decay. II is placed
at still further disavantaged by being I'M
able to compete with other trees for
light and soil. It prospers when grow
ing alone, but il gives up the fight after
stronger trees begin to crowd il. Never
thcless, it is believed that more paper
birch is growing in the United States
to-day than two hundred years ago.

NEW DELAY In
RATE INCREASE
Railroads Likely to Wait Until January
/, Pending Commerce Commission
Hearing.

Washington, Oct. l3--Investigation by
the interstate commerce commission in
to the proposed advances of freight
rates in eastern trunk line territory
was resumed yesterday at the commits
sion's offices, after an adjournment of
the hearing from New York City.
In general way, the increases sug-
gested by the roads affect nearly all ar
ticles of freight handled at either class
or commodity rates. The advances, Gu
riously enough, however, do not apply
to the great volume Of freight. Excep-
tions are made Of coal and coke, iron
and steel articles, iron ore, and some
other large commodities. On some of
the eastern lines, the shipments of coal
and coke constitute more than half of
their entire freight tonnage; in fact, in
two instances, such shipments are about
SC per cent. of the total tonnage.
Applied broadly, therefore, the pro-
posed increases would affect in the ag-
gregate probably not to exceed rs per
cent. of the total freight tonnage of the
roads. The testimony adduced hereto
fore at the hearing, indicated that the
aggregate amount which would accrue TO
the various lines through the advances
had been figured at about S35,000,000
annually. That estimate is regarded by
the commission as very conservative.
BY concerted and voluntary action OF
the railroads, the proposed increases
were postponed until Nov l. 1t is man
ifest now that the hearing and adjudiea-
tion of the pending case cannot be con.
chtdpd hv that date III aDDaarg nrOb-
able, therefore, that the eastern roads,
in consonance with the western trunk
lines, will postpone the effective date Of
their new tariffs until Jan. |, at least,
and perhaps until Feb, l.

Won Initial GridirOn Victory
Over Montpelier High, 6 to 0
WINNERS MUCH SUPERIOR
They Had the Ball Almost on Mont

and Would Surely Have Scored
Again in One More Chance.

In its first trial at the game in sew
eral years, SpauIding high school de-
feated Montpelier high school at football
yesterday afternoon by the score OF 6
to 0, the game being played on the
Montpelier seminary campus before a
( large crowd, including many legislators
and state officials. The Spaulding team
was quite a bit superior to Montpelier
and should have won by larger score.
The game ended with Spaulding plung-
ing steadily toward another touchdown,
the ball being on Montpelier's 8-yard
line
Grigg at right half and Maiden at
quarter played a star game for the win
ners, while the line put mp stOnewali
defense at the critical moments. Laird,
left end, Bartlett, fullbaek, and Brooks,
right half, put up good game for
Montpelier
The only score OF the game came in
the first period, directly after the kick.
Off Grigg took the kick and ran back
20 yards. Then Spaulding high began
march the length of the field, Grigg
taking the ball across Moutpelier's line
after eight minutes Of play and Maiden
kicking the goal During the next few
minutes, Montpelier worked double
pass for y yards, but had to surrender
the ball to Spaulding on downs when
the period ended.
After Spaulding forward pass had
failed in the second period, Montpelier
high tried the same play three times
successfully Laird receiving the ball.
The three plays netted about 80 yards,
when Spaulding braced and held for
downs Another forward pass by Spauld-
ing was successful, Grigg taking the bali
and running 20 yards, shortly after
which time was called on Montpelier's
20 yard line.
Spaulding kicked to Montpelier in the
third period, after which Montpelier tried
one or two plays with Indifferent success
and was then held for downs Then
Spaulding worked the forward pass to
good advantage, but when near the
Montpelier line had to surrender the

In the fourth period, after Mont

time. The boys covered 40 yards in
amazing time and were ready to plunge
over when time was called Another

WRONGFUL CONSOLIDATION.

the rates had gone up, while the service

as the one state in the Union controlled
by a single system.
THE combined interests have sur
rounded this state" he said, "and have
fought every independent endeayor to
enter the interior. The Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific, working to-
gether, nave ordained that Oregon shall
not be developed until they are ready
and they will keep their hold on the
transportation monopoly until they are
