Making an inspection of trees and
shrubbery in this vicinity, w. H.
Bullock, state demonstrator and or
chard inspector for counties OF
Wayne, Pike and Monroe, was in
Hawley on Saturday and found many
trees here affected with San Jose
scurfy and oyster shell scale. The
| prevalence of these destructive in
sects here, Mr.. Bullock said, is the
result of the indifference shown by
| the people here for the welfare OF
their trees. He found less interest
/ in the fight against the scale in Haw-
| ley than in any other community oi
! this size within his district The
state inspector found many other in.
! stances where trees are badly affect
ed by scale without the owners
knowledge, this despite the campaign
Of education along this line which
has been carried on by the state de-
partment. Mr.. Bullock repeated
the instructions which have been Civ
en- out for several years by the state
department for preventing and kill
! ing the scale. The best way that has
been found to do this is to spray the
trees with lime and sulphur wasf
which can be easily made or may be
purchased already prepared.

MADE lTEASY FOR HARRY THAW
Sulzer Makes Public Charges Against
Superintendent of Prisons Scott.

Albany, N. Y, March 10.-Governor
Sulzer made public the report of the
commission of inquiry concerning the
administration of state prisons under
Superintendent Joseph F. Scott. Ten
charges are made by the commission,
which in its opinion require explana-
tion and if possible justification by the
superintendent of state prisons" No
recommendation is made, but the COM
mission submits its conclusions to Gov
ornor Sulzer for his careful considera-
deem for the best interests of the
state'
The principal charge made by the
commission against the superintendent
is that he permitted Frederick H. Mills
to remain in the Office of prison sales
agent after a report was made to the
governor by John D. Mcmahon in Sep
drawing a salary from the state and
conducting a private business of his
own at the same time. This, the COM
mission says, continued under a pri-
vate understanding with the superin-
tendent of prisons.
| Another allegation is that under Colo
mel Scott's administration Harry X.
Thaw received unusual liberties in
Matteawan State hospital; that he was
permitted to receive callers frequently
and to retain in his possession large
amounts of money. The commission
severely criticises Colonel Scott for
falling to order prosecution after DR..
John w. Russell, who was superintend-
ent of the Matteawan hospital, report
ed to him that John N. Anhut had Of
fered him bribe of $4,000 to release
Thaw. Other charges involve COM
plants made by Democratic leaders of
Clinton county in relation to the man
agement Of Clinton prison at Dame
mora.

STERLING.

Sterling, March 10. f.
We often wonder how much town
gossip" people care to read or the
editor cares to publish. To mention
every one that goes to the store, post
office, calls on friend, takes dinner,
sells a dozen eggs to huckster or
stubs his toe and falls down may be
very interesting personal affairs-but
do they interest the public? We
have been told by a number that the
first thing they do when they receive
the paper is to look for the home
news " and when they do not find it
they are quite disappointed. Hence,
we presume, is the reason why the
editor publishes so many trivial
items. But when things don't hap
pen, what's fellow to do? The edi-
tor says write at least once week.
Last Sunday Rev. w. e. Webster
officiated at the funeral of Jacob
Shiffler of Greentown. 1t often
seems Providential that a number
very considerably expire just in time
to accommodate the minister to Off
ciate on the Lords day.
Rev. Webster took in the minis
terial meeting at Scranton and also
heard Rev. Sunday preach at Wilkes
Barre.
We have had zero weather on sew
eral mornings this week and so far

Miss A. M. Noble heard that her

after her arrival. She was about So
years old. She is survived by one
| son Burton, and two sisters, Miss
Adelaide M and Mrs. Emma Howe;
also two daughters, Mrs. Emma
Kitchen and Miss Gennett, at home.
| Mrs. Cliff was well known in this sec
tion by all the older residents, hav-
ing resided here for many years.

Jacob Gillner is digging a trench
at the parsonage and in due time a

the water works have been a success.
]. E. Cross has had a Mr.. Collins,
and helper, from Ariel working for
him this week.
Notwithstanding the number of
cows that are kept in this section for
several weeks past butter has been
decidedly scarce, but perhaps one
reason is the creamery gets nearly all
of the milk.
The school tax is the largest tax
we pay and yet how many are inter-
ested enough to visit the schools
except on some extraordinary occa-
sion-and see what kind of work the
teachers and pupils are doing. Since
school began we have spent enough
time at the High school building to
say that we think the teachers are
all doing excellent work.

by local appncauluns. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the

School Matters.

Every day brings more perpiexities in
The school situation in this district. 1t
started in the disruption of the district
occasioned by blunders made in the
county division bill, and just as we had
thought to see way out Of the trouble
along comes the Shoshone district and
endeavors to Guido the Goodingites in
settling the questions locally Shoshone
has taken the matter of the. division OF
the railroad property to the supreme
court, which will necessitate another
delay in the settlement of the matters in
dispute.
In the meantime the portion Of our
former district which was gobbled up by
Gooding county has become an indie
pendent district. In settling up the di-
vision of the assets and liabilities of the
three counties, this portion OF our former
district was allowed 81 900 as their por-
ton OF the taxes paid toward the build
ing OF the new school house here, and
this amount must be paid back to them.
Instead Of waiting for the bonds to ma
ture, which would be several years hence
this amount must be paid at once out OF
the funds OF the Jerome district, which
Of course will temporarily embarass THU
district.
While no official action has as YET
been taken by our school board, it is
pretty generally understood by the mem
bers that the school wagons will have tc
be dispensed with the coming school yeal
and the rural scholars he compelled u
attend the rural schools or find soms
other means Of reaching the town school
While the board is 10th to dispense witt
the wagons they do not see their way
clear to contract the heavy indebtedness
necessary TO carry them on, and unles
some plan is devised it i, safe to predic
that no school wagons will be in com
mission the coming year.

OF the Business Mems Association at the
town hall on Friday evening, to which
all citizens of the town and surrounding
country are urgently invited to attend.
The question OF the establishment oil Il
highway district for this section will be
up for discussion. This seems to be inn
portant at this time from the fact OF the
selection of the state highway across the
state, and for various other reasons
The State Highway commission will
leave Boise on Monday morning next for

sections are offering hattering induce
ments for the establishment OF the
route through their sections and it is up
to Jerome to take some substantial action
in this matter.
In the meantime work will be pro-

that W, rk be done on other roads leading
from the town. Let everyone interested
in good roads be present at this meeting
