.Bill" Bunch's Reputation Saved

"Bill" Bunch's Reputation Saved
Bill" Bunch has come back. Since
his election to the city council he has
recovered his lost laurels as wealth
Ter prophet, for he prophesied calm
for the first meeting OF that body.
and then Saturday he told the
Courier that "the Rogue valley Is 60
ing to get q pretty fair fall OF snow
before this spell Of weather Is over"
The Courier did not use the forecast,
for 1t got Bill in bad last summer
when 1t made him say there was go
ing to be rain, and all that happened
was a slight sprinkle that did not
satisfy the clamorings Of thirsty
public. But Bill says a prophet is
privileged to fall down once In a
while. especially in dry weather. and
points to the old saying that "all
signs fail in dry SPELL" Then to
clinch the argument he calls atten-
tion to the sign across the front OF
a certain building on Sixth street
where two-foot letters proclaim I'm
toxicating Liquors" The sign does
not take the parch out Of single
throat since the dry spell hit the
community

Will Hold Troops.

Orders for the dispatch of the remain
ing State troops, including Battery A,
Maryland National Guard, to the Mexi-
can border were temporarily suspended
by President Wilson last Tuesday because
of the threatening prospect of railroad
strike. Gen. Funston, in command of
the troops on both sides of the interna-
tional line, telegraphed the War Depart
ment that it would be unwise to attempt
the movement of additional troops until
it could be determined whether there
would be ample facilities for feeding and
otherwise supplying those soldiers now
in the field
Failure of the present railroad negot
atoms will result in strike on pract-
cally all railroads in the country and
would seriously interfere with the deliv-
cry of food and other supplies to the men.
1t might also result in large number of
troop trains being indefinitely delayed in
transit. This is the only explanation
given at the War Department for the
announcement suspending previous or
ders.

Internal Taxes $512,723,287.

Washington, Aug. l3.-The pre-
liminary report of the United States
Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
W. II. Osborn, for the fiscal year
19l5-1916, made public today, shows
that Maryland, although one OF the
smaller states in area and population,
ranks among the wealthy common
wealths as a contributor OF taxes to
the Federal Treasury.
OF the S5l2, 723, 2S7 in internal
revenue collections, the sum OF So
7S9, 495 was collected in Maryland,
that State ranking sixteenth, while
l3,2SO,O91 was collected in the
Maryland district, composed OF Mary
land, the District of Columbia, Della
ware and Accomac and Northampton
counties, Virginia. The Maryland
district took thirteenth rank among
the ~ collection districts in the coun-
try. Virginia paid 50, 567 1861 in in
ternal revenue taxes, being fifteenth
among the states. while West Virgin
ia paid 81, 0O9, 127.
Federal taxes on distilled spirits,
fermented liquors, wines, tobacco and
cigarettes constituted the bulk OF
Maryland's share of the internal rev.
cnue. These taxes aggregated So,
1882; the collections under the
so-called war tax totaled 81 24S, IT'S;
the collections from the tax on cor
poration incomes were $500, 6S7, and
the individual income tax aggregated
$S06,2l6.

FOR PIPES.

Washington, August 16;-A sale of
large quantity of mountain laurel
roots from one of the National For
ests in the Southern Applachians is
reported by officials in charge, who
say that the roots will be used to
make pipes.
The mountain laurel root is similar
in appearance to the French briar,
which the majority of pipe smokers
are said to prefer. The French briar
is the root of the white heath or bru-
we're" These roots are gathered in
large qualities, and after being clean
and sawed into blanks they are plac-
ed in hot water and simmered for
twelve hours or more. This process
gives them the rich hue for which
the best pipes are noted. 1t is said
that in 1915 the value of the blanks
shipped to this country was almost
100000, and in addition large
number of finished pipes were import
ed.
On account of the present scarcity
and high price of Frence briar, a
number of pipe manufacturers in this
country have been on the lookout for
substitutes, and the Forest Products
Laboratory has conducted expert
ments to determine the availibity of
other woods. 1t is reported that the
mountain laurel root burns out more
rapidly than briar, but Forest Service
experts are trying to find a method
of hardening the wood, and have
succeeded to an appreciable extent.
They have also found that a number
of the various kinds of chaparral
which are abundant in the West
give promise of yielding material
which will be the equal of French
briar in every way.
Other woods now widely used for
pipe making are apple wood, red gum,
ebony, and birch, together with
smaller amounts of olive wood, rose
wood and Usage orange.
