NOTES FOR 1910 ARE DUE TO COMBAT ORCHARD PESTS
Rebate Allowed on Full Payments
Made Before March is.

Sheriff J. M. Grant is running a spe-
clal spring clearance sale of the latest
styles of tax receipts. The prevailing
color this year is white, and they have
been cut in the stylish modes which
fashion DEGREES. He has a large as
sortment which he wishes to close out
before the warm weather comes on.
HE Is prepared to wait on all custom
ers as promptly as his limited clerical
force will permit, but to avoid the
crush that is sure to follow later. he
advises that as many as possible
should come early. In order to close
out the stock as rapidly as possible,
Mr.. Grant is making special redue-
tion, by allowing a rebate of three per
cent on all full payments that are
made before March Is.
Those wishing to do so can make
half payments up to April 3, and the
balance may be paid at any time be-
tween then and October 2.
All taxes on which a payment has
not been made will become delinquent
after the first Monday in April. After
that date a penalty of 10 per cent will
be added with an additional cost of
one per cent until paid
Owing to the bad weather since the
rolls were turned over to the Sheriff's
office, many people have put off com
ing in, and the receipts have not been
very heavy, about $500 having been
taken in. In the meanwhile, Sheriff
Grant is standing behind his high
desk eagerly awaiting the man who
has yearning for a white tax receipt. |

Five Feet of Snow.

The fall of snow on the Coast range
of mountains has been much heavier
this winter than for a number of
years. This fact was proven to the
entire satisfaction of three Dallas boys
when they went over to the Siletz Ba-
sin to visit their claims recently. The
trio of eXtemporaneous mountain
climbers was composed of Henry Sa-
very, L. S. Finseth and Haven Smith,
and they think they encountered snow
a-plenty, and then some. On the sum-
NIT the depth of snow was five feet,
and over the divide on the Finseth
claim the snow was three feet deep
and still falling rapidly According to
weather sharps, there will be no use
in looking for the approach of spring
weather SO long as there is that much
snow in the mountains.

Route Plated,

County Surveyor B. F. Beezley has
just finished drafting a plat showing
the proposed new road for which A.
M. Holmes and others, in the vicinity
of Holmes Gap, have petitioned the
County Court. The proposed route
starts at Holmes Gap and extends
south to Derry, where it joins the Sa-
lem road. 1t follows closely along the
east side of the Southern Pacific rail-
road, and at its greatest distance is
about a mile from the present County
road on the west. The distance of
the new route is AS miles, while the
present road is about 5.5 from the
starting point to it's junction with the
Salem road, a difference in length of
Z. 1t is estimated that the cost will
approximate between $4,000 and
$3.50 The matter will come up for
hearing before the County Commits
sioners' Court at the March term.

County Fruit Inspector Allen Urges
Growers to Unite I'm Warfare.

Down with .the pests that infes
our fruit" is the slogan of the newly.
appointed County Fruit Inspector, B
Y. Allen, who is firm believer in the
future of the fruit industry in this
favored region, and who thinks that
the time has come for united action in
combating orchard pests and in ad-
vancing the interests of what will ul-
timately be the greatest wealth-pro-
ducing industry of the County. Now is
the time to apply the pruning hook.
and where pruning and spraying will
not restore the vitality of tree, the
axe should be applied without com
junction. Trees and vines should be
trimmed up, and rubbish should be
collected and burned. All possible
harbors for pests should be destroyed
In speaking of the future of the
fruit business, and of the duties which
have now devolved upon him, Mr.. AL
len says:
''None of the changes which modern
civilization has made upon the earth
is more evident to the farmer than
that of the increased difficulty of saw
ing his crops from the ravages of
noxious insects and parasitic fungi.
Many of us have heard from our faith
ers and grandfathers, of the apples
which once grew in abundance in
yards and along highways, strangers
alike to the codling moth, maggot, or
h. nf tho 111CainI1C hnonhnc
from worms and rot of the plums,
unmarked by the curculio; and of the
pears that had yet to learn the secret
of becoming dwarfed, gnarly, and
cracked; of the grapes that knew no
rot; and of the potatoes whose leaves
had neither been blighted nor bitten
by the Colorado beetle.
Now all is changed. Every crop
has foes that often gather the lion s |
share of the harvest. The time has
come when the fruit grower of Ore
gon must take the precaution to give
expects to reap the reward that is
Justly his.
II would say that with the vast
acreage of fine fruit land which Polk
County has, we now have the golden
opportunity of making this one of the
eading fruit regions of the Northwest.
Having been appointed fruit inspector
or Polk County, / will be glad to give,
is fully as possible, such information
is may be needed on the subject of
praying, pests and kindred subjects
hat will aid the fruit man in the
,ternal warfare that must be waged
against a common enemy. Let us get
'usy, and work in unison in a deter
mined effort to down the pests that
nfest our fruit"

Some Trees.

c. G. Andrews, the man who does
things, has a large force of men busy
on his recently purchased property
south of town, preparing the land for
the setting out of fruit trees. This
week he received the first shipment of
10000 trees for planting, most of them
being apples best adapted to this soil
and climate, having a recognized COM
mercial value. Some cherry and a few
pear trees will also be planted. His
operations in clearing and preparing
the slope land will continue until all
his vast acreage is planted to the

No Right to shoot at an Escaping

Atlanta, June 24.-Following the

Utoy Springs camp in this county Fri
day and the severe censure of the con-
vict guard. Chairman Dawson of the
prison committee has expressed the
legal doubt as to whether a convict
guard ever has the right to shoot
prisoner who is trying TO escape.
That gives rise to the question of
what use is there in arming the guards
at all only 10 defend themselves.
answers Commissioner Dawson, pro-
vided he is right in the other conten-
tion, on hich he is not absolutely sure
Since the query has been raised it
will likely have to be ruled on. And IL
il is definitely decided that guard
has no right to shoot at an escaping e
prisoner, the problem Of convict camp
surveillance will be considerably more
complicated than at present for now
in practically every camp the men are
given to understand that the man
stands over them with his rifle or shot
gun for the purpose of stopping them
if they try 10 run, and in every camp
there are many whites and blacks who

SELLING SCHOOL CERTIFICATES
OcaIa COlOred Man Implicated In
Slick scheme just Unearthed
at Arcadia

Arcadia, June 24.-One of the big
gest alleged swindling games ever op-
Grated in this state has just been un-
earthed through the diligent work of
w B. Hare. superintendent of public
instruction, who caused the arrest of
four negroes. one of whom is a wom-
an.
Sensational arrests were made yes
terday of negroes charged with sell
ing teachers certificates unearned by
regular examinations
Those arrested included w. D.
Young, postal clerk on the Coast Line
now in the Arcadia JAIL Rev NJ Per-
riles Pickens. of Lakeland. and Katie
Boston, in jail at Lakeland, and S. c.
Richards. under lock and key at Ocala
The latter three will be brought tC
Arcadia, all to answer the feloniOus
charge of trying to handle and use
teachers certificates without teachers
having earned these through exami-
nation.
Young apparently is the head OF the
system, which he is supposed TO have
operated for six years.
At preliminary trial he waived ex-
animation and was held under a five
thousand dollar bond by County Judge
r. E. Brown, to answer the charge in
circuit court. The others have not haC
a preliminary trial.
Young behaved with an impudent as
surance when arrested. He showed hi:
mail clerks badge under his coat anC
was subdued only through the sight o
the arresting officers gun.
Officers listened to him while he pre-
sented his scheme to County Superin
