school with a principal and three
assistant teachers. and is almost
as closely populated as a town. 1t

Delta Forestry Men Are
Planting New FC


1t may be of interest 10 Ind spen-
dent readers to know that the
cal forestry officers are busily en-
gagged planting new forests over the
pine and fir districts of the Uncom-
pahgre Reserve.
The seed that is now being planted
was gathered during the summer in
the different timber growing secIions
OF the United States. taken through
the process necessary to reduce It
IRON the rough cones TO pure, clean
seed. This process is quite lengthy
one, especially in the case of the
douglass fir seed, which is so light
that the work of separating it from
the chaff is very difficult.
Lee E. Cooper, who has recently
been appointed local deputy super
visor, and j. H. Ramskill, left Tues
day morning for Lake City with
two hundred pounds of yellow pine
seed which they intended to plant
in the Lake Fork district.
The Black Hills district had the
largest seed crop of any of the tim
Der sections of the United states
this year, and a quantity of seed
from there is TO be planted on the
Lake Fork, with native seed, to
see If it is possible that foreign seed
will do better here than the native.
Owing to the extreme long life of
the pine and fir forsets, the trees
which will spring from the
seed now being planted will. while
of no benefit to the present genera
tion or their children, no doubt in
centuries to come will be a most val
liable asset to these Reserves.
Another thing that is as surpris-
ing to the majority of people as Is
the age of the pine forests, is the
value of the seed. The Douglass hr
seed, after being gathered with
pruning knives, shaken out of the
cones and separated from the chaff,
are valued at 1915 for single
pound.

About This Year S Crops.

we had hoped to obtain by ;nis
date, full statistical reports fiom
the Census department, but in ans
wer TO our reQL-sJ, the Honorable
E. Dana Durand, director, informed
us that it would be some lime ye.
before such reports were given out.
1t can be said, however, that ali
field crops in Delta county this sea-
son have Deem fair average, somv
Il little better than others.
Wheat and oats have yielded wei
as have potatoes, the early harvest
OF which was heavy and which move
to market with good prices. Much
of the potato acreage yielded from
crop. The late potatoes have done
well but have not brought as good
prices.
The sugar beet yield was an
ers claim a shortage and ire dis
appointed in their yield.
Alfalfa has been a splendid crop
the three cuttings being as rule
heavy and practically all was put uI
in good shape, without rain. In ex-
ceptional cases there were foul
cuttings of meadows.
Cantaloupes were good yield
and brought good money, in some
cases running from $500 to $400 pc
acre. Watermelons were an in
increased crop and improved quality
Garden products of all kinds die
well and much stuff was marketed
at fair prices.
The fruit year was considered al
off one, still Delta county shipped
peaches and apples to the extern
of hundreds of carloads. The berr.
crop was not nearly so good rs
last year, but there was rnougl
for a considerable market suppl.
above the home consumption, will
plenty for canning and preserving.
Our fruit crop last year, whei
Delta county shipped more to mar
kets than any other county in .h'
United States. brought returns o
100000 to our growers. II
is not expected that orchards shoul'
yield a bumper crop every year. a
IT would soon sap the strength o
the trees.
Having had partial rest thii
season. a full crop of all kinds o
fruits is expected next year.
Stock and dairy interests have
been steady and poultry has don'
well.

THE MINING CAMPS.

Lake county is introducing new
ore treatment process which it's min
ers epect to rejuvinate mining in
that district.
The North Star mill at Telluride
is working steadily but is experienc-
ing difficulty in the way of water su
ply.
The Iowa-Tiger mine at Telluride
is rebuilding a tower that was car
ried away by a slide last winter.
Work at Leadville has been great
ly increased since the discovery of
zinc chlorides in the ores and dumps
Of that busy old camp a few months
ago.
The drainage tunnel at Cripple
Creek Is reported to be successful
in draining the mines of that dis
trict, and general revival is expected
in that great gold camp.
The new smelter at Alma is run
ming steadily and is reported to be
doing good work on the ores Of that
camp.
Mining interests of all the camps
is slightly improving and a gradua!
revival of that industry is expected.

Referring to the article published
last week about the Good Fellows
Club, it was suggested that the
papers take the matter up and re-
ceive contributions or letters from
those wishing to help whatever :ium-
ber of children there may be in
Delta to enjoy some Christmas cheer
which they otherwise would not.
These contributors or the names
sent in of those who will be Santa
Claus to one or more children,
will be turned over to the very wor-
thy persons who have volunteered
to look up such cases. So far one
or two small contributions have
come in, to which the editor will
add his mite. 1t is not the inten-
tiop to urge anyone, but just to
open the way.

POLL TAX AND PRIMARY
Former In Not Delinquent Before April
list, Therefore IL Not Neceasary to
Vote In the Latter

The Star has received the following
from the well-known law firm Of Bryan
& Bryan Of Jacksonville.
Mr.. r. NJ. Shackleford, Jr.. City: Dear
Sir--According to your request We
have examined carefully into the ques-
tion as to whether it IS necessary to
pay poll taxes for the year 1910. in
order TO vote in the primaries on the
10th and 3lst days of January. 1911.
for United States senator, and are of
the opinion that these are not neces-
sary for the payment Of 1910 poll taxes
before the coming primaries, and that
a failure to pay them will not operate
to disqualify the otherwise qualified
voter
Our reasons for this conclusion are
as follows:
\ man who is delinquent, who does
not pay his poll taxes as the law pre-
scribes, may not vote; and man who
pays his poll taxes as the law pre-
scribes, may vote.
This leads to the inquiry: How does
the law prescribe that poll taxes be
paid? The answer is to be found in
section 25S Of the general statutes OF
Florida and is as follows:
+ Section sos. general statutes, provid-
&
erty taxes are.
F.. Section SAL, general statutes. pro-
vides that they may be paid ION OF
after" the first Monday in November
and that they must be paid before the
first Monday in April.
! Could a citizen be even criticised fol
failing to pay before the Saturday
preceding the first Monday in April:
No Then it is reasonable to contend
that because Of such failure his very
voice in the affairs of his governmen,
should be taken away, when he is ir
no sense legally delinquent?
Now when is this poll tax legally
due, that is. due in the sense that the
law compells payment. and that col
lection may be enforced? The language
of section SAL puts at rest all doub
upon this question by it's provision
that the tax collectors have power tt
enforce collection Of all taxes remain
ing unpaid on the first Monday IL
April The statute is construed mos
strongly against the state. especially
when as in this instance. it is in de-
rogatiOn of a right secured by the con
stitution Of the state; and hence. al
implications are in favor of the citize.
whose property is sought to be taken
including the one which would entit1'
the citizen to contend that as the Law
gave power to the tax collector to pro
ceed for taxes unpaid on the first Mon
day in April. he could not proceed To-
the collection of any taxes which wer,
paid up to that time. This is elemen
tary. 1t Is also indorsed by imme
mortal usage throughout the state O.
! Florida, as the saying: You have go
until April to pay your taxes" which
is a household phrase we'll attested.
