take as much territory and assessed
valuation from three counties as is to
be done for the formation of Delta
county. that it will leave the old corn-
! ties in such condition that they would
be embarrassed, such~.it is claimed is
not the case, when the following is
shown. Holmes county, which will,
after the dismemherment, be the
smallest of the three old counties, will
be left with more area than forty-nine
of the other counties, and will be rich
, er in assessment than fifty-two other
counties in the state. Washington
county, after dismemberment, will be
richer than any county in the state,
with the exception OF seven. Yazoo
county, after dismemberment, will be
richer than any county in the state,
with the exception of ten. In other
words washington viii be richer than
seventy-three of the eighty counties in
Mississippi, and Yazoe' county will be
richer than seventy of the eighty.
Arguments Presented.
One of the main arguments for the
formation of Delta county is that the
sections proposed to- te dismembered
from the three counI es named are in
tn hni
seats. Especially is this true OF Wash
ington and Holmes counties. Belzoni,
where large majority of the people
of the Washington county section live,
is sixty miles from Greenville, the
county seat, costing each person from
So to SO each time he goes to the coun-
~ seat, and giving aim only a very
few hours in Greenvhle for the trans
action of business. On Honey Island.
just across the Yazoo river from Bel
zonl, is where the majority of the
Holmes county people live, who are
affected by the change. These people
are about sixty-five miles from Lexing-
ton, the county 4seakof Holmes coun-
ty by rail and about fifty miles through
the country. However, the roads
through the country are IN such con
dition the most of the time that travel
is almost impossible in buggies or au-
tomobiles. These people must come
to Belzoni and so to Yazoo City on the
train: from there to Tchula, and from
Tchula to Lexington, changing cars
twice and using practically a whole
day. 1t costs these people from 81 to
$l2 to go to their county seat.
The people of Yazoo county. who
live in the territory affected, are not
SO badly situated, bur they are entirely
dissatisfied to remain in Yazoo county
and are very anxioas to be taken into
the new county, it is asserted.
Il has been found from petitions ii
the office of the secretary OF the bella
County Campaign Committee. and from
personal campaigns by members OF the
committee, that at least ninety Ter
cent of the people n the entire terri |
tory affected by the change are worry
much in favor Of .theformation Of Del |
ia county and are doing their i.tmos!

In a letter to The Gazette-Times,

says, the ordinary period of incuba-
tion is about three weeks and from
that time up to several months, and
the animal should never b. destroyed
as death always ensues within two or
three days and an examination of the
brain would then prove whether the
animal was infected with the disease.

PORTLAND NEWS LETTER

Portland, Ore, Feb. 16 (SpeciaD
Not only in Oregon, but in all parts
of the country, the Government has
inaugurated a movement to secure
work for the unemployed and to fur
nish men or women to farmers and
other employers outside the cities
1t is a common sight to see men
standing around the streets in town
at all seasons of the year who would
be glad to go out into the country
and go to work if they only knew
just where to go and could be certain
that the job would be there when
they arrive. John H. Barbour, Uni
ted States Inspector, Oregon Immi
grafton Service, has started to list
applicants for positions of all kinds
and is anxious to receive applications
for help from employers of all class
es.
Every applicant for work will be
given a thorough examination as, to
his qualifications and no man will be
sent out for any specific line of work
unless he is fitted for it, thus leav
ing no room for the annual complaint
that farmers are supplied with lab
orers who know nothing of farm
work, at a time when the farmer is
too busy to teach them. The first
day the office was open more than
100 applications for work were re-
ceived, and as there are no fees or
other expenses connected with the
service, it is expected that enough
men will be available at any time to
fill all possible demands.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-02-18

Another movement operating
along somewhat similar lines, but
with the idea of assisting the would
be farmer to get land instead of work
is now being discussed under the
leadership of Tom Richardson, the
founder of the Oregon Development
League, with the purpose of evolving
some feasible plan for financing the
small farmer, dairyman or gardener
who has the inclination and the abil-
ity to get back to the land and make
success, but who is financially un-
able to do so. Educators and bust
ness men are decidedly in favor of
the scheme and it is probable that a
convention for its discussion will be

HISTORICAL PAGEANT.
Plans Are Being Made for Presentation Of
Play Commencement Week.

Columbus, Miss, March 81
Great eparations are being
made for the presentation Of the
historical page mt play which the
senior class of the Industrial In
stitute and College, assistedby the
entire student body. will present
on the campus commencement
week. The play will be given on
the afternoon Of Thursday, May
27.
The production was written by
a former student and graduate of
the college, Mrs. Frances Jones
Gather, now of Mobile, Ala. ,and
will be presented under her direc-
ton. assisted by Miss Emma
Ody Pohl, of the physical culture
department. The basis of the
pageant is the history of Column
bus as typical of the history and
development of Mississippi, with
a prelude and postlude of the
present time. Although the lead
I ing parts in the play will be tax
en- by members of the senior class
the entire student body of over
seven hundred young ladies will
participate. Interest in the event
will be state wide as practically
every section of Mississippi is
represented in the student body
of the college.
Elaborate preparations are be-
ing made for the presentation of
the play, which is expected to
surpass all previous commence
ment events. The costumes,
which will be made in Chicago,
especially for the play, will be
historically correct and very elab-
crate and beautiful. The play
will be staged on the campus
green under the big stately elms,
the topography of the grounds
forming a natural arena, and
grand stand seats will be con-
structed on a surrounding elevat-
ed area, forming ideal conditions
for the presentation Of the play.
Special trains will be run to
Columbus for the event and it is
expected that visitors from all
sections of Mississippi and ad-
joining states will come here to
witness the performance.

Useless Fire Alarms.

To the Tax Payers:
For the month of March, the city will
have to pay members of the Fire De-
partment $1,000, because of indiscrimin-
ate turning in of fire ala ms. Each time
that the department responds to an
alarm it cost the city not less than SIT.
Every fire that was responded to, ex-
cept one, this month could have been
put out without any trouble, as these
alarms were for burning chimneys and
wood boxes, and did not need the at
tention of the Fire Department.
Don't nrn in an alarm every time
you see a chimney on fire. Tell the
owner of the house and let them watch
it, or put bucket of water down the
chimney; it will save the city $l7OO.
When you wish to turn in an alarm,
call for number 127 When the engineer
at the Water Works answers the phone,
tell him where the fire is; he will then
sound the number of the ward in which
the fire is located and the Fire Depart
ment will know where to go, but don't
call out the department for burning
chimney or trash pile.
Yours respectfully,
JAS. G. HORTON, Mayor.
Ton T. PATTY,
Chief Fire Department.
