COUNTY COURT HAS
ABOLISHED ROAD TAX

The sum Of $4,000 will be ex-
pended on county roads by the coun-
ty court during 1912. states Judge
Stephen Jewell This sum will not
be adhered to to the cent or dollar.
but represents about the amount
which will go into road construction
and improvement. This does not of
course, take into consideration the
proposed bond issue.
The county court has abolished
the road tax in vogue heretofore.
Commissioner Woodcock, in explain
ing this action of the court, stated
that the road tax question resulted in
expense in some districts when the
money was needed far more in other
districts. The law, said he, reads
that when a road tax is collected one
half of the money paid by a district
was to go back on the roads of that
district. Now 1t happens often that
one district does not need o9e-half
the money it pays, while other dis
tricts need more than they pay. 20
balance up matters and use money
where needed, it was decided to
abolish the particular tax known as
road tax and make the general taxes
do duty where needed the most.
The county court is also confront
ed by another question, and that is,
shall road master be employed ?
Heretofore Judge Jewell has acted
in this capacity, but he tells the
commissioners that the expense is
too much for him to stand individu-
ally. Several men have applied fol
the position, asking salary IN
amount all the way from $1,000 q
year to $500 year. The law reads
that some member of the court car
act in this capacity if it is desired
hence Judge Jewell has proposed tC
the commissioners that if they will
set aside $500 a year as reimburse
ment for his expenses and some re
muneration he will continue to sup
erintend road matters. Judge Jewel
states that he is not anxious for The
job, as it keeps him from home mucl
of his time and often late into the
night, but will act if it is not decided
to employ roadmaster at salar!
from $1,000 to $500 a year.

IRRIGATION BY WELL
PROVES WINNER HERE

One Of the best examples of well
irrigation in the vicinity of Grants
Pass is that OF Walter Hulbert's place
four and one-half miles west of
town, located in the granite hills. Il
is at the junction of two small ra-
vines carrying water only during the
rainy season, but supplying water on
the bedrock, s to 10 feet from the
surface, throughout the summer.
The well is IA feet square and 20
feet in depth. 1t is timbered with
Axe sawed heart fir placed one on
the other, and braoed in thorough
and workmanlike manner Its ca
pacity is about 10000 gallons.
The we'll is equipped with a g.
horse power gasoline engine and
horizontal Myers pump, supplying
water for about two acres.
The water is forced into a tank
25 feet in height with a good pipe
line system under ground.
The cost OF the well, outside of
Mr.. Hulbert's own labor did not ex-
ceed S75. With the same engine lie
hoisted the dirt, using a derrick.
A visit to this place will repay
anyone interested in irrigation and
one can learn the facts of the eco
nomic side OF the enterprise

\ DREDGING FOR GOLD. 4
4 = ~ \ y ! = y 4

The recovery of placer gold by i'm
proved dredging methods has come
to be an important factor in the total
gold production OF the country. Cal
ifornia is much the largest producer
by these methods. In 1910, accord
ing to figures compiled by H. ID. Nc
Caskey OF the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, the total domestic pro-
duction Of gold by dredges was 49,
293, LOG, which was an increase OF
$5O9,726 over the figures for 1903
The production of California in
creased proportionately and was ST.
50,254, compared with S7SS2,950
in 1903; that of Alaska increased
from $424,993 in 1903 to 100000
in 1910; that of Colorado decreased
from $404,601 in 1909 to $344,210
in 1910; and that of Montana in
increased from $426,439 in 1909 to
$473,385 in 1910. The output of
Idaho and Oregon furnished the re-
mainder.
There were 113 dredges in opera
ton in the United States in 1910, of
which Y were in California, is in
Alaska, each in Colorado, Idaho
and Oregon and b in Montana. In
1909 there were 6S dredges operat-
ing in California, 4 in Alaska, s in
Idaho, in Colorado, in Montana
and in Oregon.
The total production of gold from
dredging in California to the end of
1910 has been $4O,31S,775. OF the
total gold output of California in
1910 the dredges supplied over 3S
per cent, and of the total placer pro-
duction they supplied 80 per cent.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER "a. 1912.

Yesterday Paul Gregory, bull moose
candidate for sheriff, was in Raymer
seeking to sc, acquainted with the yo-
tiers. We were asked what one OF the
speakers had said about Mr.. Gregory:
While we did not hear all Of the speak
ing, we told him we thought that what
was said was practically what was said
in the Greeley Republican: that Mr..
Gregory had been one OF the three men
to sign an affidavit supporting mo-
ton made to secure change OF venue
for Shelley" Mr.. Gregory is glib
talker admitted that he did sign such
an affidavit, that in doing so he had
done nothing dishonorable, etc" We
admit there was no dishonor in the mat
ter. But a change of venue is a tech
nicality of the courts. by which Grim
inals try to defeat justice, by taking
the trial far away from the place Of
the crime, increase costs, and mayhap
secure Il trial under circumstance
where corrupting influences may secure
an acquittal. One of the cardinal
principles Of the bull moose party is to
wipe out the technicalities of the courts
Mr.. Gregory also exhibited commits
ion as deputy sheriff signed by sheriff
McAfee, as an indication Of his good
standing with Nc Afee. We did mo-,
think to look at the date, .r to inquire
whether he was still deputy. II he
was deputy at the time he signed the
application for change Of venue, It
would not look good TO US Ii he
is still an n,'accredited deputy, il looks
no better. Mr. Gregory thinks that
Mr.. McAfec did no more than any good
official should have done, and we agree.
But If he did all OF his duty, Mr., Nc
Afee did more than some officials do.
We have not heard it charged that Pat
terson or McAfee failed TO DO any part
of their duty. Doing duty may not be
any reason for reward, but it certainly
is not reason, for turning the official
who does his duty out of office. Anoth-
re remark by Gregory did notIooG good
to us. At first he had refused to sign
the affidavit. lat when the effort was
made to increase Sheely's bond from
either $50. 900 or SIS, 600 by an addition
al $4,000. he thought the move perse-
cution and decided to sign. When it is
remembered that the Denver crook af-
terwards returned TO Weld county near
ly $4,000, it will be seen that Sheey
might have well forfeited the smaller
bond to have escaped. Attorney Carl
son was not "persecuting' Shee!y, but
exercising proper precautions lin safe
guarding the interests of the public.
