THE SAFEST METHOD.

(From the Daily Marshfield Times.)
The purpose of the publication of
the delinquent tax list is twofold
First-To give notice to property
owners that their taxes are delin-
quent
Second-To enforce the payment of
those taxes and thus secure the need
ed revenue for the conduct of the
county and state governments.
The Times contends that the publ
cation of the delinquent tax list ac-
complishes both results at minimum
of expense to the taxpayer.
That newspaper publicity is the
most prompt and effective method of
disseminating information and giving
general notice to the public is so gen.
orally acknowledged that argument
seems unnecessary. The newspaper
publication gives notice not only to
its subscribers and readers but
spreads the notice by discussion, for
when Brown reads the notice he
promptly talks about it with Robin
son and also with Jones, and thus it
spreads. This is proved by the fact
that other states having a law similar
to the Oregon statute have reduced
the delinquent tax list from six to
eight newspaper pages at first to less
than three or four columns in length,
result that the personal notice could
never accomplish.
Another evil which the personal
notice fosters and permits is that If at
any time tax collector was prompt
ed by desire to profit by not send
ing a notice to the owner of some val
liable property he could easily hold
out the notice, have friend purchase
the property for the taxes and get pos
session by tax title. 1t is true such
emergencies may be rare, but they do
occur, and newspaper publication
gives notice to all the world that can
not be escaped, evaded or denied
Everywhere they are men who are
willing to profit by another's careless
ness or pressing necessity. Such men
watch the tax titles, which often re-
turn them excessive profits. Newspa.
per publication prevents this nefari-
Gus business by the universal scope OF
the notice, which it makes public.
Everywhere that it has been tried
newspaper publication has proven eff.
fective, and while the law has not
been in effect in Oregon sufficient
time to accomplish the same results
it is none the less needed, for any.
thing in which the people and taxpay.
ers are interested is benefited by
newspaper publicity.

Seward is Coming
Alaska Metropolis

Seward, the tidewater terminal for
the government railroad in Alaska,
will have population of 15, 900 with
in the next five years, according to
the prediction of Colonel Alexander
w. Swanitz, who was chief engineer
and general manager OF the Alaska
Northern until its recent purchase,
and who declares that the purchase
price, s1,500,000, was a fair one, de-
spite all contrary criticism.
Seward now has a population of
about 1000 and is growing by leaps
and bounds. The government has is
sued warnings to working men with
out capital, stating that at present
there is not enough work going on to
afford jobs for the hordes who have
already poured in following the TAX
ing over of the railroad by the gov.
eminent.
Crit Tolman, an Ashland man, has
held onto his property in Seward
through the depression which followed
the end of the development by the
Alaska Northern which resulted in &
migration which left only few hun
dred people in Seward where there
was once booming city of 5000. HI
will no doubt profit largely by thu
development now going on.

Exchange System
May be Tried

Miss Halle Thomas has been ap-
pointed by Superintendent Alderman
one of three teachers from the Port
land schools to benefit by an inter-
change of school work with the
educational system in vogue at
Brockton, Mass, like number of
eastern teachers coming to Portland.
Miss Thomas is well known here. She
is sister of Cliff Thomas, formerly
assistant cashier of the Bank of Ash
/ land, under the old regime. She has
been primary teacher at the Kenton
school and is the retiring president of
the Portland Grade Teachers Asso-
citation, the largest woman's club in
that city, having a membership of
900. The appointment is for one
year. A portrait of Miss Thomas ap-
pears on the last page of the Portland
Journal, Thursday, April 20. This
educational exchange fad struck Ash
land also some time ago and the adop-
tion of it is pending before the school
board. If entertained, 1t perchance
means that two of our most proficient
seventh grade teachers, the Misses
Ila Myers and Margaret Power may
possibly make the pilgrimage to Mas
sachusetts in the vicinity of dear old
cultured Boston, Ashland in turn to
entertain two New Englanders.

AdVentiStS to Meet
At Grants Pass

Grants Pass, May 6.-Seventh-day
Adventists from all parts of southern
Oregon will gather here for the an
nual business session and camp meet
ing of the Southern Oregon Confer
ence of that denomination which will
be held May 20 to 80. A number of
family tents will be pitched on lot
on Sixth street about six blocks from
the railway depot, and those attend
ing the camp meeting will occupy
these tents as homes during their
stay here. Large pavilions will also
be put up for the different meetings
that have been planned, for dining
purposes, the display and sale of lit
erature, and tent where the campers
will be received.
Practically every minister in the
conference will be present, together
with representatives from the North
American Division Conference, the
governing body in this county, and
the North Pacific Union Conference,
which takes in Montana, Washing
ton, Idaho and Oregon.
During the conference sessions,
plans will be outlined for the ad-
vancement of the denomination the
coming year, reports read by the
president, secretary-treasure and
others connected with the conference
officers elected, and credentials and
licenses issued.
Preaching services will be held
each evening, to which the public is
cordially invited. 1t is probable that
some of the discourses will treat Of
the prophecies on present-day events
and also of the European war as {
sign OF the times.

Across State
In Two Days

A party of newspaper men from
Portland made the trip from Port
land to Ashland last week in order to
get first-hand information in regard
to the condition of the roads. The
party made lightning trip, leaving
Portland early one morning and ar
irving in Ashland in time to catch the
evening train for Portland the next
day. The following account of the
trip appeared in the Portland Jour
nal:
1T would take columns to describe
in detail the highway between Port
land and Ashland. The readers of
the Journal can feel safe in starting
on the trip any time after July /,
providing there has been at least four
days of sunshine.
Every mile of road that needs re-
pairing will have been worked by that
time, and, weather conditions being
favorable, the trip will be greatly en-
joyed. The road from Portland to
Ashland is a panorama of beauty;
you are led through valleys and along
ripping streams with everchanging
views of orchards in bloom, great fer
tile fields ready for seeding, stretches
of foothills covered with thousand
shades of green and here and there
peep of snowclad peaks and great
canyons. These will make the trip
one long to be remembered by young
and old. Hotel accommodations in
all of the principal towns, such as
Salem, Albany, Corvallis, Eugene
Roseburg, Grants Pass, Medford and
Ashland are much better than will be
found in most cities of their size, and
the prices quoted are very reasonable
''If you are hesitating making this
trip on account of fear OF road condi
tions, forget it. A one-cylinder will
make any portion of the route just as
surely as the highest priced six, ex
cept, possibly, not quite so fast
Possibly the most pleasing ant
lasting impression of the trip is wher
you roll onto the hard surfaced high
way at Central Point. Jackson coun
ty is to be highly congratulated fol
having paved the first portion of the
PACIFIC highway for a distance o
twenty miles between Central Point
Medford and in to Ashland.
"Mel Johnson, T. j. Mullin, Chester
B. Moores and the writer returned Il
Medford from Ashland and caught tn,
$500 train for Portland, arriving
Thursday morning at Z. All are o
the opinion that the Pacific highwa!
is in excellent condition for 80 pc
cent of the distance, and highly rec
ommend the trip to any who have al
automobile and understand drivini
same. The time made by the Buicl
is much higher than the averag,
party wishes to tour About the righ
way to split the trip is to make |
three-day jaunt of it, driving abou
100 miles per day."

Agricultural Questions
Are Answered

A Codington inquirer S k s.:
What do you consider your best
type of barley, or the best barley
for this sectien of the state?
Speaking of sweet clover, a
gentleman in Watertown who claim
ed to have had considerable exper-
ience with the swine business, rails
ing and feeding on the farm, stated
he had given this clover a good
trial and was troubled with scours
in his hogs to such an extent, he
quit it as a pasture. Have you
known Of any such experienced"
i take it one can cut seed pota-
toes some time before he plants
but can he treat these cut pieces
with formaldehyde and be safe, lie, /,
is it o. k?
In blowing for corn which does
your observation favor, fall or
spring blowing?
If | seed alfalfa on corn stubbs
(corn cut last fali) shall | seed in
grain seeding timer Can | seed
with the barley making the seed
ing about one-third?"
Reply by DIR. A. n. Hume, Ag-
economist: For this part of South
Dakota we recommend Manchuria
barley S. d. Io5 and Odessa S. d.

churia can be purchased from sew
eral members of the South Dakota
Experiment Association.
Seed potatoes can be cut some
time before planting, but should
not be treated with formaldehyde
after cutting.

Indians Organize
Agricultural Fair

The Indians of Washabaugh
county have organized an Agricul-
tural Fair Association, and will en-
deavor to spread the idea of agri-
culture among the people OF that
comfy. The leaders OF the move
ment have resolved to put forth a
practical effort to get the Indians
of that district to undertake the
self-sustaining theory and see what
can be done in the way OF extract
ing some OF the necessities OF life
from the bosom of mother earth.
The plan is a good one to help
along and the organizers of the So
ciety need and appreciate all that
helpful words can do. The follow
ing are the names OF the officers:
President, William Brown.
Vice President, William Breast.
Secretary, Henry Standing Bear.
Treasurer, John Hawk.
Asst Sec't'y, Robert Two Elk.
Asst. Treas, Noah Bad Wound.
Marshal, John Long Commander
Executive Committee;
William Randall,
Julian Whistler.
Bennett County Booster.
The Press is indeed glad to see
our neighhors on the south become
interested in the agricultural line
and we fully believe that much
good will come from their organ
ization. Some of the best land in
South Dakota is in Washabaugh
county and with the proper amount
of work it should produce a good
crop for its owners.

Election Returns
In The County

The town election in Kadoka,
was a rather tame affair, though
some excitement prevailed over the
fact, that some Of our citizens who
participated in the caucus were not
satisfied with the result, and on
election morning an independent
ticket was sprung for all officers
except the two justices, and when
the votes were counted Otto c.
Sharon, the independent candidate
for alderman from the first ward
won out over the caucus nominee,
Nat Stevenson by one vote. The
balance Of the caucus ticket was
elected by substantial majorities.
The Press is a firm believer in
the majority rule, the officers elect
ed are good men, probably one ex-
ception-we were tagged with a
justiceship, and we sincerely hope
that the bitterness-if there is any
will be laid away for year at
least, and every citizen Of town
get behind the successful candidates
and push to make kadoka, the
kind Of town county seat should
be, but dear reader-this is Amer
ica, the land of the free-you do
not need to heed our advice, though
we know it to be good, and of
course you have the right to do as
you durn" please though some
times the please" way raises h
with everybody.
Following is the ticket elected:
