To the Public


 I present herewith to the citizens of Birmingham an itemized statement com piled by the city auditor, showing the necessity for bond issue of $400,0OO due to the inherited conditions growing out of the annexation of outlying muncipali- ties
 In addition to the amount presented in this statement 1t will require from s25, 900 to S30,000 for the purchase of sites and equipment to take care of the night soil, the erection of stables and pound pens and the purchase of additional street equipment.
 The necessity of this bond issue is ap- parent, for if the people to whom this matter is referred next monday should fail to authorize the issuance of s4000O0 of bonds the credit of the city would be TO go on a scrip basis to meet running ex- penses of the city government.

AMERICANS SERVE
 IN CUBAN ARMY.

Washington, April 7.-The resolution in- troduced by Representative Slayden of Texas calling upon the Secretary of War for information regarding four Ameri- can officers alleged to be serving for pay in the Cuban army, was favorably reported to the House today by the coni- mittee on military affairs. Such service in the army of a foreign government is prohibited by the constitution and MT. Slayden charges that the war depart ment has lacked on an amendment on a House appropriation bill, now in the Sen ate, for the purpose of legalzing the detailing of these officers
 The following officers are said to be serving in the Cuban army: Capt. Frank Parker, Eleventh cavalry; Capt. G. G. Gatley, Third field artillery; Capt Philip s. Golderman, Coast artillery corps.

AN OFFICIAL VISITOR.

81 r. L. Wright, of Omak, commits
oner of the First district, was in Oro-
lille, Saturday, inspecting the bridges
etely repaired in this vicinity and
srning sympathetic ear to the COM
>aints relative to the miserable con-
ition of the roads. Not all of this part
u the county is within Mr.. Wright S
Immediate jurisdiction, but as the dis
Brict east of the river is without a COM
missioner, Wesley Britain having re-
moved to Stevens county and the va
eancy untitled, those with grievence
have no one else to whom they may
tell their road troubles.
Mr.. Wright is one of the successful
Investors under the government ditch.
He came into the county few years
hgo when his capital consisted chiefly
pf energy, optomism, a good digestion
Rnd an eye to the main chance. He
got hold of land near Omak, which was
mot any too promising as a money max
|ing proposition at the time. The gov
ernment reclamation project was set
in motion, and so soon as the people

WILL TAKE THE FIELD.

The census enumerators take the
field next week and are expected to
list the population and gather the sta
tistics that is required of them in their
official capacity within 80 days. Those
interviewed are expected to give all
the information that is asked for by
the enumerator, and there is a severe
penalty attached when any one refuses
to answer questions propounded The
census is very important enumera-
ton of population and compilation of
statistical information taken every de-
cade at vast expense and labor. The
accuracy of the census depends largely
upon the intelligence of the enumera-
tors, and the promptness, clearness
and correctness of the answers given to
the interrogations. 1t requires much
activity and no little hustling on the
part of those to whom the duty has
been assigned of taking the census to
complete the count within the time
fixed by law, and every aid should be
extended by the public to help along
the work.

A TLoI IRISuING INDUSTRY.

The sheep industry is not as import
ant and extensive in this county as it
was few years ago. At least the
bands were not as they were when
larre holdings were thought to jeop-
ardize the range, and lhe conflicting
interests of cattle and sheep men en-
gendered Il good deal of cruel outlawry,
and almost precipitated civil war. Yet
there is considerable capital invested
in mutton on the hoof, the care of
which furnishes employment to enlarge
number of men. Small bands, more
easily handled and less of menace to
gregate number of head runs up into
the thousands. Through reports from
sheep owners it is learned that the
flocks got through the winter in prime
condition, the increase promises to be
large and the wool yield exceptionally
neary. Losses for the winter have
been remarkably light. One of Geo.
w. Loudon's herders handled 1925
sheep throughout the winter without
the loss of Il single head. The lambing
season is about at hand and large
increase is expected. Shearing follows
soon after the dropping of lambs. Mutt
ton is higher at the present time than
it has been for years, the price of wool
is away up, and the man with a few
thousand head of sheep ranks among
the nlntncratS

KNOCKED OUT BY A CAYUSE.

j. A. Gadbury was over from Loomis
Saturday, but was not as clipper and
skittish as he usually is on his visits.
Upon prying into the cause of his de-
mure appearance and deliberation of
movements it was ascertained that he
was pretty well shelled in with porus
plasters, applied for the purpose of
alleviating various kinks scattered over
his anatomy. The kinks were the re-
suit of recent disturbance with a
horse. This is looked upon as josh
and modifies the sympathy that other
wise would be expressed, for Gadbury
has mingled with horses all his life,
and knows how to handle the most frac-
tuous quadruped of that species, hence
the oddity of it that he should get the
worst of it in any kind of combination
with beast of that description. In
this case the trouble was not precipi-
tated by vicious animal. Being
skilled in the veterinary line Mr.. Cad
bury was called to administer to a do
cile family pet. When he approached
the meek and lOwly patient the said
meek and lowly reached out for Mr..
Gadbury and caught him in the solar
plexus, laying him out, and gayly
promenading over the PROSTATE would
be benefactor, leaving impressions that
have since kept the experience fresh
in the memory of the victim. He will
probably be over the misery in another
week.

GOES TO ARIZONA,

NJ. c. Schalm, or Charlie Schalm as
he is more famiiarlv known, departed
Wednesday morning to join his wife at
Globe, Arizona, while he expects to
make his home for the present. al
though the call of the north may draw
him back to Oroville within a twelve
month. 70 the public this action of
Mr.. Schalm seemed to be sudden
move, but in fact he has had the change
in contemplation for some time. The
parents of Mrs. Schalm live at Globe,
and her father is very old and in de-
clining health. The lady left on visit
to her parents several weeks ago, and
it was understood at the time between
wife and husband that if the illness of
Mrs. Schalm's father continued seri-
Gus, and the business prospects were
bright at Globe Mr.. Schlam would
presently follow. The reports sent to
him were Of such nature as to decide
Mr., Schalm in making the change.
During the past week he sold his resi-
dence property to G, L. Armstrong,
