One thing that Arkansas needs is
more open land, developed and i'm
proved. We must have it to make
room for the increased population
we want and expect to have. Clear
ing land is hard work, winter or
summer, but in the summer, when
it is intensely hot, it takes a man
with pretty good grit to 50 into the
woods where the leaves are thick
and no breeze stirring, and put in a
hard days work clearing land To
clear land is hard labor if you Go it
yourself and expensive if you hire
the labor. A good way is to deaden
the timber a couple of years ahead.
Now is good time to begin the
work whenever you have a spare
day or two. Deaden everything
that is large enough to deaden. The
bushes and saflingS can be cut
down. 1t is good idea to hack the
saplings off about two or three feet
from the ground, letting them fall
and hang by the back. The limbs
on the trees will die and fall first.
Some of the trees will then fall.
The grass, weeds, vines and briers
will come up. In the late fall after
about two years have elapsed you
can set fire to the whole mass, and
most likely will burn up the most
of it. You can then 60 in with
teams, chains and Cant-hOoks and
soon finish up a good job of clearing,
and your land will be in good condi-
ton, as the roots will be dead and
partially rotted This is a cheaper
method than taking the timber
down green. Now | am going to
tell you a secret about deadening
timber. Make a solution Of arsenic
and sal soda. Dissolve the arsenic
at the rate of one pound to a gallon
of water. Put the arsenic in the
water ami heat and stir until it is
dissolved. If any of the water is
spilled or evaporated, replace, Then
dissolve the sal soda at the rate of
one pound to a gallon of water
Then mix the two solutions, Put
the mixture in a coal oil can or
something having a small spout,
Pour a small stream around the
trees deadened where the trees
were hacked. By this means you
poison them and they die surely and
suddenly, and begin to rot, clear
down into the roots. In short
time the worms begin on them, and
the trees disappear much sooner
than by the old way Besides, it is
not necessary to cut out the chips
nor to 60 so deep in deadening, Be
careful about the mixture and do
not let any stock Get to it, because
1t is poison. Wash out the vessels
good and do not pour any of the
fluid on the ground where it will
poison stock. You will find this
method valuable in saving time
and money in clearing land. 1t is
good idea to put in some new
ground every year 1t soon counts

TAXPAYERS KIND
TO CHAMBERLAIN
His Salary As Office Holder
Exceeds 100000 ASKED
How Was 1t Spent?"

Since r. 4. Booth, Republican can
tidate for United States Senator, an
swered the question, Where did you
get it?' Republican papers have raised
the question for George E. Chamber
lain, the Democratic nominee to an
swer, How did you spend it?" Some
industrious digger has compiled the
list of public offices Chamberlain has
held since coming to Oregon from
Mississippi and calculates that Cham
berlain has drawn down more than
100000 in money contributed by tax
payers. 1t is how Chamberlain spent
this money that Republicans are
curious.
One newspaper editor recounts that
Chamberlain has been Attorney-Gen-
eral, District Attorney. Governor and
United States Senator, holding some
of these offices more than one term,
and that Chamberlain since entering
public life has scarcely ever been off
the payroll, as he entered upon a new
Job before the old one was worn out.
In his explanation of where he got
IT." Booth told the story of his life.
Democrats say that Pooth is an aris-
tocrat and does not belong to the plain
people Booths own narrative re-
counts how he was one of family
of II children; that he lived in log
cabin, worked on a farm and took
his pay in chickens; punched cattle,
herded sheep and otherwise helped
support the family until he was q
years old and paid for his first store
clothes by gathering wool from
bushes and taking the hides from
sheep which died on the range. He
struggled hard for an education and
acquired it. He was a day laborer,
and day laborers are supposed to be
plain people. By industry he met
with success and associated with 9th.
ers he built up a sawmll industry
which developed the timber resources
of interior Oregon.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-10-15
r. A. BOOTH

Booths statement included the dec.
laration that at times the sawmill he
managed employed 1900 men and the
payroll exceeded $4,000 a month The
concern brought into Oregon more
than $l0,000,000 of outside money ard
farmers. merchants, laborers and en-
tire communities received the major
part of this sum, directly or indi.
rectly. The Republicans point out
that Booths rise from a farm hand
and day laborer is to his credit and
that hundreds of other Oregon boys
are developing the same way They
also point out that the industry which
Booths efforts built up brought into
the state more money than the Gov.
ernment has appropriated for river
and harbor Improvements in Oregon
since the state was admitted to the
Union.
During the period that Booth was
turning timber into stream of gold
which was flowing through interior
Oregon, spreading prosperity to work.
ers and merchants, the Republicans
declare that Chamberlain was draw
ing salary from tax funds as an
office-holder. Having been born in
Oregon and lived here all his life,
Booths supporters contend that he
knows its people and the needs of
the state as well as any man can and,
having made good, whether as far
mer, cowboy, sheepherder, bookkeep-
er or sawmill man, he can make good
in the Senate.
The impression that Booth is a mil
lionare has been gained because Of
the great commercial enterprise which
he caused to grow from almost moth
ing and because Of the large contri-
buttons he has given to educational
and other betterment works. Booth
confesses that he never was mil
lionaire and that his holdings in the
business he managed was very small;
in fact, it Is about per cent, or
$65,000.
Insistently, some Of the Republican
papers declare that it is as important
in Judging the fitness of man for
office to know how he spends his
money as 1t is to know where he gets
it. They point to the large donations
made by Booth to show where he has
been spending his money for the ben
eft Of the commonwealth, and they
keep asking Chamberlain, Where did
you spend IT."

APPLES FOR
R. R. CATERER
Will Be Served by Famous
Harvey Eating
Houses

And now Emmett apples are to
appear on the menu of the famous
Harvey eating houses and the din
ing cars on the Sante Fe railroad
between Chicago and San Francisco.
Mr.. Mccormick of San Francisco,
travelling purchasing agent of the
Harvey Company, was in Emmett this
week and closed a contract with j.
R. Fields for a carload of Jonathan
apples. The contract calls for extra
large apples.
The Harvey eating houses, or
hotels, and their dining car service
have a world wide reputation for cuis-
inc. They operate on the lines of the
Santa Fe. A couple of years ago
the excellence of the apples grown by
Mr.. Fields came to the attention of
the Harvey company through pur-
chase made in Chicago. These were
grown at New Plymouth and packed
in the Field packing house at that
place. Since then the company has
frequently corresponded with Mr..
Fields in regard to furnishing apples
for their hotel and dining car ser
vice, but not until this year has the
Field orchard been able to supply the
size and quantity desired.

Magnificent Corn

A display of ten stalks of field corn
in the Index office has attracted con-
siderable attention the last few days
on account of their size and the size
and number of ears on the stalks. The
corn was grown by John Dewey, the
pioneer corn grower, and who has
done more, probably, to demonstrate
the adaptability of this section to corn
growing than any other man. The
stalks average IA feet in height and
the ten of them contain Is ears-and
such earsl Their average length is
II inches and everyone is compact and
regular. The variety is Yellow Dent.
Mr.. Dewey introduced the seed here
six years ago and has been very sue
cessful in growing it. This year he
has only one acre, which he estimates
will yield between rs and 100 bushels.

TOO GOOD FOR A KING
Emmett Peaches Arouse Poetic
Nature of Washington Man

A few days ago, G. H. Johnson, OF
the Emmett Feed Mills, sent his
daughter, Mrs. A. C. Schneider OF
Aberdeen, Wash, crate of Emmett
peaches. In acknowledging receipt OF
them, Mrs. Schneider's husband, wrote
the following:
"When we opened that box of ripe,
juicy, golden globes we were simply
amazed and we realized for the first
time that we were strangers to some
of the really good things of life. Just
think of it! Peaches that weigh a
pound apiece and whose thin skins
hold not a single atom of anything
except the perfumed honey of long
summers sun. 1t is marvellous in
deed that nature should lend such gen
erous aid to the efforts of men. In
fairy tales we have read of things
quite as wonderful, but never has any
thing so great come to us as a fact
of life and now these wonderful peach
es that grace our humble board are
too good, even for the larder of
King"

TAXES WILL Be MUCH
LOWER
County Levy Fixed at 81 Mills
Against IL Mills Last
Year

The total amount of taxes to bt
raised in Canyon county for the yeal
1914 will be S204,287.85, according tc
the levy determined by the board OF
commissioners Wednesday. This
sum represents reduction of approx
imately one hundred thousand dollars
over the taxes of Canyon property
owners last year. The financial con-
dition of the county at this time is
said to be the best it has been for
several years.
The 1914 levy fixed by the board is
81 mills on the dollar. a cut of 2%
mills over the 11-mill rate of last
year.
The assessed valuation of Canyon
property this year is placed at $24,-
1852, 2,413-a reduction of about 10 per
cent over the 1913 valuation These
cuts in both the revenue rate and the
assessed property it is understood.
will affect the above mentioned reduc-
ton of approximately 100000 for the
benefit of taxpayers of this county.
Out of the total taxes of S204, ,2S9,-
raised in Canyon county in 1914, more
than one hundred and twenty-three
thousand dollars is turned over TO the
support of the state government ard
the public schools. This leaves less
than 40 per cent of the taxes collected
to be devoted to the county and city
governments, the maintenance Of
roads, bridges and other incidental af
fairs within the county.
Residents of the City of Emmett
pay 1914 mills, against As last year.
Those outside the city, but in the
Emmett school district, will pay 1914
mills.
Those ontside the Emmett school
district will pay on SA mills plus their
local school tax.

ANARCHY IN MEXICO
Scorching Indictment of Republic by
British Minister

Sir Lionel Garden, one time British
minister to Mexico and recently ap-
pointed minister to Brazil, sailing
Wednesday on the Celtic for Liver
pool, is quoted by the New York City
News association as having made the
following statement concerning the
withdrawal of American troops from
Vera Cruz:
at is a desperate shame that the
United States has seen fit to abandon
the decent people of Mexico when
they most need help. l do not know
the reason for this but it would seem
that President Wilson has been mis-
informed in some matters and that If
another side of the situation has been
brought to his attention he has not
seen fit to listen to anything that
contradicts those who have told him
that the country has been pacified.
"The people who did not get pro
lection in Mexico City and elsewhere
went to Vera Cruz for protection.
What will they do now? They have
no means of getting away and will
be left to the mercies of the lawless
element that will Immediately over
run the town and country"
