THESE NEW FARMS
ARE LOOKING UP.
Homesteads Near Mouth of Shirts's
Canyon Have Promising Corn
and Other Crops.

Last Sunday we editor took a run
out to the farms near the mouth Of
Shirts's Canyon, at what is known as
Phalanx's, and looked over the home
steads of the Tweedie Bros, f. B.
Daley, Joseph Thompson and Ire
harne Jones, which have been devel-
oped during the past two or three
years, and now have very encour-
aging outlook. On the Tweedie farm
there is about twenty acres of as
good corn as we have seen in the
county, piece of good rye, and other
crops. Mr.. Daley has some good
corn, potatoes, squash and other
crops. On the Thompson farm there
are about SO acres under cultivation,
planted to corn, potatoes, wheat, apple
orchard, squash and garden truck.
Mr.. Jones has over forty acres under
cultivation to corn, squash, potatoes
and other crops.
The soil of this locality is very
light sandy formation, well adapted
to the growing of dry land crops, gar
den products, etc.
The location is high, commanding a
good view of the valley, and there is
an abundance of timber right at their
doors for wood, posts, etc. Fruit
should do exceptionally well there, on
the north slope of the foothills, par
ticularly on the Thompson entry.
We believe that the boys have a
good location, and that their entries
will be very valuable in few years.

SAYS WAS NOT A
CITIZEN Of OHIO
JOHN ID. ROCK FELLER DE-
CLARES SHOULD NOT BE
TAXED In THAT STATE.

New York. Feb 25.-John y.
ockefeller, ST., made a deposition at
his home in Pocantico Hills today in
support of his contention that, al
though he lived for seven months in
Ohio in that states fiscal year of 1918,
he was not really resident OF the
state, and. therefore. he should not
be compelled to pay $Ii50, 700 per-
sonal taxes on 100000.
Mr.. Rockefeller was examined in
direct questioning by his personal at

sisted by A. f. C1evengcr.Y The laws
yers for the State OF Ohio Were Cyrus
Locher, prosecuting attorney for
iGuyahoga County, where MIR. Rookie
ifeller's summer home is.
| 1t was revealed in the course Of the
exa mination that Mr.. Rockefeller was
taxed on 100000 at the rate OF
thirty cents on each 500, the
Total assessment being about one
fourteenth of the entire Ohio assess
ment of S14,647.657. The claim OF
the State for the tax is based on the
law OF Ohio, which provides that If a
man resides in the State for the great
er part OF the year he has leaglly
established his residence there, sub
jecting himself to the inspection and
levy OF the Ohio assessors.
| The tax assessed on Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter has been upheld by the Ohio Board
of Complaints. but Mr.. Rockefeller oh

State from collecting it. The deposi-
ton of today was taken in the effort

WEEK PLENTY TIME
TO COMPLETE WORK
COMMITTEE MEMBERS BELIEVE
LEGISLATURE WILL AID
JOURN AS INTENDED.

Members of the joint Legislative
committee, named to revise such
state revenue laws as are affected by
the new system of taxation inaugu-
rated by the present General Assem-
bly, are confident that when the Legis-
lature reconVenes. a week will suffice
for the completion Of the work.
Daily the committee meets to search
throush the code for the pupose of
finding what laws need to be changed
so as to be made to conform to the
new system OF taxation. Not more
than Il score. 1t Is now believed, will
have to be amended and bills for
the purpose will be drawn and ready
for the full Legislature when 1t re.
turns to Richmond from a three
weeks recess, taken 10 permit the
joint committee to do its work.
Once bill that will be introduced will
have for its purpose making January
/. instead OF December /. the date
for the payment Of taxes. Others are
of relative consequences, and no like
lihood of opposition to any In the
General Assembly is seen by the MEM
bers of the committee.
one plan of the committee that
may meet with opposition, in which
case it Will probably be abandoned, Is
so to amend the segregation laws'
as To make tHem etIeCtlNe at once.
This can be done by an amendment
providing for the addition of an emer
gency clause, There is no risk OF
undoing the work OF the Legislature
In this, even though two-thirds vote
is required for the passage OF the pro-
posed amendment, as it's defeat would
leave the laws as they now are, They
would then become effective ninety
days after the adjournment of the
Legislature.

NOW LAWFUL TO
EMPLOY ALIENS
PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTORS IN
NEW YORK COMPELLED TO
DISCHARGE MEN.

Albany, n. Y, Feb. 25.-The con-
stitutionality of the State law prohib-
ting the employment of aliens on
public work was upheld today by the
Court of Appeals Suit was brought
in connection with the employment
of laborers in the New York subway.
The labor unions and contractors
the law. At the same time subway
contractors in Manhattan, Brooklyn
and the Bronx discharged 1,400 of
their 1874 laborers pending a de-
cision.
The appellate division of the SUI
preme Court on December 81 held in
two test cases that the Public Ser
vice Commission had no authority 10
require subway contractors not to en-
ploy alien laborers.
Tho immediate result of the de-
cision, in the opinion of persons in
terested in the case, win be the Grip
ping of many firms holding con-
tracts on the dual subway system,
firms which. TO be on the safe side,
will discharge many of their alien EN-
ployes.
This decision marks a crisis i'm the
construction of the dual system of
rapid transit said a statement Is
sued by the Public Service Commits
sion today. THE city now has out
standing construction contracts ag-
gregating s142,00o.o00 for new sub
way and elevated roads. Some OF
these contracts are nearly completed
others are only just begun and 9TH
ers are In various intermediate stages
of construction. There are about
thirty separate contracting firms ems
gagged in the work.
One of the important connecting
links of the new system, on which
work has been put off on account OF
the labor situation, Is the Broadway
line from Thirty eighth to Fifty-nnth
Street, This will probably be held up
until the case Is definitely settled In
the highest court.
