Notice to Ashland Taxpayers.

In pursuance of a recent case
wherein o. II. Johnson was plaintiff
and Jackson county was defendant,
and the Circuit and Supreme Courts
having held that Ashland taxpayers
were exempt from the payment of
general road tax levied by the county
in 1913, and whereas a stipulation
was entered into at the time the case
was in progress, whereby the county
is morally bound to repay any amount
that was paid into the county on the
taxes due in 1913 by the taxpayers
as heretofore set out.
The County Court provided for the
payment of these amounts out of the
taxes due in 1915; therefore, in pur-
suance of the foregoing, notice is
hereby given to all persons that paid
general road tax due in 1913 that
the amount will be repaid upon ap-
plication or claim being filed with the
undersigned at Jacksonville, Oregon.
No red tape" is necessary in this
matter. Either write letter or file
bill for the amount and give the
number of the tax receipt you re-
ceived at the time of making the pay
ment, If convenient, and the matter
will be adju Heated as soon as the
money is on hand from 1915 taxes.

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.
(Hiram Wallace.l

There has been a marked and a
fortunate change in a score of years
In the character Of the local news
paper The proverbial country edi-
tor" of fiction and tradition, who
made his profession more or less
OF joke, has given way to the
country editor of today, usually a
clean-cut, up-to-date business man,
endowed with a keen sense of his
responsibility and proud of his life
work. The local papers have grown
In circulation and quality. Their in
fluence upon the growth of a high
standard of education and in the
suppression of the fads and fancies
of would-be reformers has been DO
tently exerted. One does not find
much mention of them in the out
side world, but their Influence is
there, Just the same, strong in its
uplifting tendency and potent for
real progress and liberty. The ma
terlal strength of these newspapers
is the best evidence of their use
fuiness. AS general thing they are
well supported and they deserve to
be. A we'll conducted local news
paper is always in favor with the
people because it is their home pa
per. And this is as it should be,
for the man who does not mead his
paper not only misses the minute
local view of affairs in his commun-
ity, but fails in his duty of sup
porting valuable influence for the
prosperity and advancement of his
own town. The local paper. if pro-
perly conducted, Is one of the most
valuable assets of the community.

that community has been bettered.
'But it has not been made merely
a better community morally and in
tellectually. 1t has been made better
In business way also. These things
work together, and it is impossible
to better community intellectually
and morally and not at the same
time better that community CONNER
cialiy. The man who is made to
think more of himself, to appreciate
his own individuality more, is bound
to want to take better cane of him
self, to clothe himself better, to
build a better house to live in, to
ride in better carriage or automo-
bile, and as he does these things he.
will also think more of his family,
more of his children, more of his
neighbors and his community, and
when he does these things he be-
comes worth more to himself, his
family, his business, his community
and his country. We challenge ex-
seption to this rule. Go into any
community where force of this
lind has been working for a number
If years. and you will find that the
whole appearance of that community

UNDER THE BIG TENT

The present seems to be an OPP
perfume time to reproduce some
things that have been said. in con-
nection with discussion of the
Chautauqua movement, by Mr.. Frank
Mcclure, in the New York Indepen-
dent After making the statement
that the Chautauqua is coming to be
looked upon as "a constructive, a
community building, and business
force, he quotes from the Mer-
chants Trade Journal, OF Des Moines
Iowa, as follows:
business, real, true, fundamental
business, consists of more than
stores and stocks of goods, manu-
featuring plants, railway systems
and wholesale houses. After all, the
very foundation OF all our business
Is the men and women In 1t, and
when these men and women have
been aroused and inspired and lifted
up and made to appreciate them
selves more fully and to recognize
bAsir own Individual responsibility,

The newspaper correspondents who
are serving the foreign war news to
American readers are seemingly los
ing interest in the great tragedy
which they have been permitted to
witness, even at long range. Nothing
can be said that has not been said,
because apparently there are no
horrors that can surpass those
that have become so common that
they no longer satisfy the morbid
cravings for stories of bloodshed.
Hence the American correspondent
who cannot tell tale of personal
experience between the firing lines
or in an airship under bombardment
must dine with the Kaiser or inter
view the Car if he expects to COM
mand an audience.

If General Huerta, who has been

GREAT ANXIETY

THoRITIES WORRIED,

Washington, D. c., July 7.-Increas-
ing anxiety was felt in official circles
today over tn situation in Mexico City
from which lace no word had come
OF the result Of the fighting said to
have agan be- N begun between the Car
rama and Zapata forces on the out
skirts OF that city. Meager official ad-
vices received here reported renewal
OF the fighting, but gave no indications
Of how it was progressing.
With reports at hand describing con-
ditions In the Mexican capital as "pitti-
ful' and rapidly growing worse on ac-
count of the shortage OF food, officials
today anxiously awaited the outcome
of the latest fighting because Of its
possible effect on the safety of for
eigners there. 1t was hoped that
United States Consul General Shanklin
and Charles J. O'Connor, in charge Of
American relief measures in Mexico
City. would soon be able to arrange for
the transportation Of food supplies to
aid the famine stricken population Of
the capital. Mr.. O'Connor, the Red
Cross representative, reports that the
relief problem is an immense one.

EVELYN FAILS TO

WIFE OF HARRY x. THAW NOT TO
APPEAR AGAINST SPOUSE
At SANITY TRIAL.

New York, July Any probability
that Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw would
be called as witness against her hus-
band, Harry X. Thaw, in his sanity
trial here seemed eliminated when the
hearing was resumed today. Mrs.
Thaw, who left New York yesterday
without appearing in court in answer
to state subpoena, was believed to be
back in camp at Chateaugay lake.
+ 1t developed that while here Mrs.
Thaw had a conference with Deputy
Attorney General Frank X. Cook, who
is in charge of the states case against
Thaw. Mrs. Thaw said afterward
that Mr.. Cook had decided that she
had no new testimony Of value to give.
