Scale on Apple Trees.

The owners ofappletrees should note
the condition of their trees. Nearly all
of the apple trees in and around L 'Anse
are infested by the oyster shell bark
louse or scale.
This is small sucking parasite COW
cred by brown scale or scab and found
in large numbers on the back of the
limbs and twigs Of the apple trees. The
parasite will, when left unchecked, in
crease very rapidly, sometimes zoo per
cent. in one season, and will generally
kill an apple tree in from three to six
years after becoming infected.
The most effective remedy is spray
ing with lime sulphur ISOLATION early in
spring when the trees are dormant.
The spray can then be applied stronger
and without the least danger of injury
to the trees.
Judging by the number of trees al
reedy dying and great number of scales
on the trees and large area infected
around L'Anse, the oyster shell bark
lonse has been prevalent several years.
If the scale or louise is left unchecked
it will in very short time ruin every
infested tree in the neighborhood.
Owners should see to it that their
fruit trees are properly treated and
prevent the infection of the entire
county.

Editor L'Anse Sentinel:-
Inssmuch that you have a space open
in your paper for the public and with
election over, the voters have time to
think matters over.
! want to inform the voters of Arvon
township of few facts. Shortly be-
fore the caucuses in Arvon township a
story was put in circulation that / had
made ~ agreement with Or. Zellen to
work for the allowance Of his bills
against the county if elected.
| want to say that it is false, without
foundation and untrue and must have
been circulated for the purpose of de-
feating me. If the person that circu-
lated the story will take the trouble to
look up my record when was supervis-
or, Il connection with DR.. Zellen's bills,
he will get u different idea. I'm the
only supervisor from Arvon township
that has fought those bills, both as a
member OF the different boards as well
as representing Arvon township in two
lawsuits. l make these explanations to
let the people of Arvon township know
where I'm standing, for if / would
keep silent some people perhaps would
be inclined to think that | have COM
mitted crime.
also want it to be known to the vot-
ers of Arvon township and the public
generally that was not personally seek
ing the>office of supervisor but was in
duced by many taxpayers in the town
ship to let them use my name IN con-
nection with the supervisorship and I'm
thankful for the good support that !
got, for did not talk to anybody in
the way Of favoring my candidacy. 1t
was all move Of the people, for which
I'm thankful.

AN OPEN LETTER.

Good Citizens and Honest Taxpayers
| am not anxious to appear in prin,
but inasmuch as l have been forced in.
to it and as | promised to continue q
communication published in an earlier
issue of this paper, l will endeavor tc
do so as briefly as possible.
1t is almost useless to argue whether
or not Approved Indian Lands should
be placed on the assessment rolls, be-
cause it is known to anybody who is
qualified to fill the Office of supervisor.
that as soon, as parcel Of Indian land
has been sold and the sale approved by
the president of the United States. that
it is subject to taxation regardless of
whether or not a certified copy of pat.
ent has been recorded. When there is
an uncertainty as to ownership the De-
partment of Interior will furnish the
information to an assessing officer free
of charge. If certified copies of pat
ents were wanted and the owners did
not care to put them on record, why
did not the supervisor send to Washing
ton at the expense of the township, as
the charge is but $160 per copy and
only about dozen copies would have
been necessary.
Now is it not fact that if the opn-
ion and argument set out in the pamph-
let in regard 10 Indian lands be accept
ed, would not sum of about $1,000
have put hundreds of acres more on the
assessment rolls. as have stated in
my first communication There is no
question about it. And Furthermore
claim that an expenditure of $1,000 at
that time was not necessary as Mr..
Maxey must have known to whom the
lands were allotted and patented before
he paid over large sums of money for
their purchase.
Have not thousands of acres of So
called Indian lands been on the tax roll
for years that were approved to some
of our leading men and numbering cor
porations WHO HAVE NOT PUT
CERTIFIED COPIES OF PATENTS
to the lands on record, but paid the
taxes assessed them just the against
same?
If Mr.. Maxey did not see fit to put
the so-called Indian lands approved TO
him on the rolls because certified copies
of patent were not of record. WHY
DID HE SEE FIT to put on thousands
of acres of other so-called Indian lands
to which NO certified copies of patents
are of record?
Supposing Indian lands are purchased
and the sale or sales approved and the
patents or certified copies Of patents
are never put on record, are the des-
criptions to the lands to be kept off the
assessment rolls forever? If so, would
not this be fine opportunity for un-
scrupulous holders of Indian lands to
dodge their just taxes? This could
hardly be considered just or equitable,
could it?
lam certain that this certified copy
of patent" argument does not go with
people who know differently.
The following described lands form
erly known as Indian lands were omit
ted from the 1911 and 1912 assessment
rolls:

BONDS FOR
CAPITAL ANNEX
BILL INTRODUCED IN SENATE TO
AUTHORIZE ISSUE OF $780,.
600 FOR Butt DING.

Z NASHVILLE, April 15.-Bills au-

northeast or northwest corners OF the
capitol boulevard, at the end of that
structuer, of capitol annex, and
providing for a bond issue of $780,
900 for that purpose were introduced

and few cities in the nation can
boast
