lend the county funds, say at about 6 per cent. Any one should have the right to borrow this money when he complies with the conditions upon which people borrow money. 1 would put all farmers, bankers and merchants on an equal footing at this fund. 1 do net think we need the coun- ty assessor in order to get cor rect list and value of our taxable property. The justice of the peace of each township should do this and when this Is effected, you will not need the equalization board.
 l think the working of roads Is not etfecting the good that my way would. 1 think the county juoge ought to be a civil engineer who can draw plans and specih- cations for road building and when this is in effect ought to have good wages, for it would take pretty much all of his time. The roads ought to be let out by competitive bids to our citizens by the mile, two miles, three miles and another contract to commence when the first ends and in this way throughout the county. Of course the aid from the state, the convicts and road hands to be reckonsd in this contract.
 These, fellow citize ns, arr @ about the reforms and inovations which 1 have discussed on every stump from which have spoken in our late canvass. They seem to take we'll with you and if you see in your judgment that I should represent you in the leg islature, 1 will put them on our statutes if 1 have to do it by local legislation or bills.
 ask that you give my platform careful study and my candida cy a favorable Consideration. l am in favor of Gov. Donaghey. 1 think that history will write him down as having been one of the most economical and business governors that Arkansas has ever had. Yours very truly,

Doss Not Affect Tax Commission

Little Rock, March 15.-"The State Tax Commissionsis not af- fected in the least by the decis- ion of the Supreme Court yester
 day morning." stated David Gates, a member of the commjs- sion, this morning, "the Supreme Court merely showing us that the present laws are bad and that the legislature is the only one which can make amends. This being the case we will have to go to the legislature for a change in the present laws. The Supreme Court decided that the Commission cannot make an ac- tion in court against the reduc- tion of assessments by a county judge, that being a matter which the aggrieved property owner alone can do, and who ever heard of a property owner filing suit to prevent a county judge making a reduction on his property? The Commission will probably take

 The last legislature appropri- ated the money for the building but as the funds in the treasury were so low at the time, Gov. Donaghey asked the board to let the building go until this year. which was done. The con- tract will be let very soon if the plans submitted April 5, are sat- isfactory. By the time work has commenced on the building the board expects to have all the money required for the building at its disposal.

What Are Chamois Skins?

The Board of United States Cen
eral Appraisers at New York has
officially decided that sheepSkinS
split and dressed as chamOis skins
are really the chamOis skins OF
commerce, being bought and sold
as such. and that they are there
fore dutiable as such at 20 per
cent ad valOrem. The importers
claimed that the skins were split
leather and should pay a duty of
~ per cent as such. That they
were split sheepSkinS the appraiS-
ers admitted and said: "But they
have been dressed and finished
as chamoiS skins, and the i'm
pOrters' theory seems to be that
because they are not from the
skins of the antelope they are not
therefore dutiable under the pro-
vision for chamOiS skins in para
graph 451."
1t was established by the wit
.neSSeS examined that there was
chamOis skin imported into this
country; that the split dressed
sheep skins were by them recOg'
nized and sold as channels; that
among the uses of chamois are
the making of gloves, vests, dress
protectors, and the washing Of
carriages.

TiIISon Company'S Prune
Packing Establishment

Tillson and Company got into the
prune business in 1897 in a small
way and the magnificent growth of
this business is shown by the fact
that in 1909 their pack will amount
to about 100000 lbs, all put up in
eight, ten, twenty-five and fifty
pound boxes. The packages are
beautifully labeled and prepared for
the markets of the world. Most of
the Tillson pack is shipped to Eu-
rope, fifty per cent going to Canada
and England. The Tillson Com
pany have their packing houses at
Salem and Roseburg, employing
about one hundred persons for six
months in the year, and distributing
a large amount Of money in the
shape of pay rolls at both of these
cities, each of which is in the cen
ter of a large prune growing dis
trict. Processing prunes and pre-
pairing them for the market has be-
come a highly specialized industry.

One of SaIem'S Oldest and
Most Reliable Firms

In the year 1892 f. N. Derby
moved from Iowa to Salem and
opened a real estate Office in the
State Insurance Block, corner Com
mercial and Chemnketa streets, un-
der the name of Pacific Land g. Or
chard Company. After conducting
this business successfully for a few
years he associated himself with
Jefferson Meyers, the same being
known as Derby e. Co. During his
seventeen years residence in Salem,
he has been in the real estate bust =
ness all of the time with the ex-
ception OF one year. In May, 1902,
the firm of Derby & Wilson COM
menced doing business in the corner
room where the United States Ma
tional bank now stands, and where
they are doing business today, be-
ing the first firm in the city of Sa-
lem to occupy Offices in the new
building. During the past seven
years they have occupied the office
rooms, No. 10 Commercial street,
but their rapidly increasing business
demanded more room, and they
were forced to move into larger and
more cOmmodious quarters. While
they are doing business at their new
location they are not properly fixed
to receive their friends, but by the
first of January, 1910, expect to
have everything in shape. when they
extend a cordial invitation to all Of
their friends to come up and visit
them and enjoy a smoke.

Willamette Valley Prune
Association

This mutual organization of
prune growers was formed in the
year 1900 and handled the first
year about 100000 pounds of dried
fruit. The pack for 1909 will
amount to between 100000 and
100000 pounds. At first the
Oregon prunes were forced upon
the market with difficulty, but
are now recognized as a standard
product and sold under their true
gradually taking the markets of
the world upon their merits. che
first packs of Willamette Valley
Prune Association were sold almost
entirely for domestic consumption.
But under the enterprising and tire
less policy of II. S. Gile of this city
as secretary and manager, the Ore
gon Prune is now shipped to nearly
all foreign countries. 1t is market
ed direct to the worlds greatest
trading centers. The Association
uses the pheasant" and Hun
ter" brands, put up in boxes of ten,
twenty-five and fifty pounds weight.
The Association pays its members
handsome dividends and Mr.. Gile is
recognized authority on prunes in
the jobing trade of the United
States. The fruits handled by the
association are ''processed" at the
plant o. Trade street, where cars
are loaded on it's own sidings. All
profits from packing and marketing
go to the growers and stockholders,
and most of the stockholders are the
fruit growers themselves.

Manufacture of Spray
Material at Salem

A very attractive exhibit of Will
lamette Valley apples can be seen
in the show windows of d. A. White
& Son this week. These apples
were brought from the Portland APP
pie Show by the Gideon Stolz Co. as
a souvenir from that exhibition.
They were grown in Marion and
surrounding counties and are q
strong advertisement for what this
section Of the Willamette valley can
do in raising peerless apples.
The Gideon Stolz Company are
manufacturing their Dependable
Lime-Sulphur Solution and the
trecs from which these apples were
taken were sprayed with this fav-
orite material. The increase in the
use of spray material as stated in
this paper some days ago, is very
materially on the increase and it
means more for the uplifting and
upbuildlng of the fruit industry
than any other one indication.
Whereas the output of the Salem
factory was 10000 gallons last
year, the demand was so great that
during 1909 over $4,000 gallons
wepe manufactured and sold. This
is a home product of which Salem
is proud and the fruit growers from
all sections of the state are demand
ing it in larger quantities from year
to year.
Go and look at those luscious ap-
pies and remember that the william
cite valley stands first in growing
this kind of fruits.

Thousand Bushels of Potatoes
Taken off Three Acres

The river bottom lands are very
fine for potatoes and yield large
crops on the slightest provocation.
AS an example of this we cite the
crop produced this year by Jacob
Meyer on the island across from this
city, On three acres he dug one
thousand bushels. The largest in
the lot weighed six and a half
pounds, and six potatoes shown at
the Derby and Wilson real estate
parlors weighed 1874 pounds. These
potatoes were of the Oregon Bur
bank variety, staple article In the
markets OF the world, and are sell
ing for fifty cents a bushel this
year. Oregon potatoes are shipped
from here 10 Texas and as far north
as British Columbia.

the gains or losses made in hand

brands indicate that they have con-
