FOR SOME TIME

George St John. 161 Indiana avenue,
came near landing in jail today when
he appeared for an Italian. Adolph
Durpetti. Chicago. who had been ar
rested for driving a, truck over Calu-
met boulevard.
ST John was rushed into the Dull

ed Prosecutor r.. c. Johnson
Yes sir--well no sir. not quite, sir
You see Adolph didn't want to come
back, sir. SO he sent me in his place.
timidly answered st. John.
"well-what's you plea. Guilty or
not guilty. sterly demanded the
prosecutor.

about courts. but guess YOU mean. 90
you want to pay. yes-Adolph Will pay.

shot back Captain Hanlon and he all
but carried the fellow back 70 jail.
At the station St. John pleaded his
case but to no avail-then he thought
of his friend Cop Bob Law, and he
called for him Bob used his influence
and had the man freed.

anybody but myself wisely said St.

It Is the general belief in East Chi
cago among those that have follow ed
the matter closely that the figures are
in error which give the industries a
total increase Of 100000 in taxable
valuations
There is one general construction
that is placed upon those figures in
which the members of the Chamber of
Commerce committee and city officials
concur And that Is. that the total
valuation placed upon the industrial
plants is 100000 instead of an in
crease OF $4,000 600
The plartts as valued by the assessor
reached sum of little over $4,000
COO 1t was from this appraisement
that the citizens appealed If the state
tax board doubled their assessment It
would reach total Of about So, 900. 900
and this is the probable situation.
Taking it for granted that the In
land Steel is increased 100000 and
the Grasseilf Chemical increased $780,
00e, there would not be enough per-
sonal property in all of the smaller
plants to reach a total increase Of the
sum reported Saturday.
Should the total on the plants be
$4,000. COO. however. this would give us
a total increase of about $4,000. 600 or
a total valuation of approximately
$4,000. 900.
The citizens of the city may feel
very much gratified at this. inasmuch
as this increase will more than take
care OF the loss in revenue due to the
cessation OF the saloon licenses. And
eventually, the tax rate will be ma
tcrially reduced. The increase OF
$4,000. 600 will give the school city and
the m1hicipal city an increased bond
ing power of $3.50 900.

Some Farmers
Sell Too Cheaplv

It is reported that dealers in hay
the men who buy from the producers
and sell to the jobbers-are declaring
that hay will be abundant this year
and that prices will be normal until
the next harvest on that account.
Farmers are complaining that this is
done merely to keep down the prices
of hay to the producer and have
urged alfalfa and other hay growers
to watch the market reports of the
yields in tonnage generally Business
men among farmers do that anyway,
but many farmers suffer loss by lis
tening too readily to the middleman
who covets their crop at the lowest
possible figure.

(Eleanor Madeline Daily, Talent }
A Sketch Dealing With Mt. McLough-

Out from the Meadows country we
darted, down and up, and down-on
the way to the valley. Up, up, and
behold on this side of the mountain

buzzed the bees. Spring, Spring" ="

Spring." The very air hummed
it with the medley of melodious bird
voices trilling from little throats
which seemed as If they would burst
Robins on every side twittered
"Cheer-up, cheer-up, dearie; cheer
up, cheer-up. dear" meadow larks
peeled forth their flute-like tones and
bugle notes; wild canaries trilled
with bursts Of unrestrained freedom
of song the Gagged bird never know;
mountain quail called out in sheer
ecstacy of joy, Lets stay right here,
Tests stay right here;" and pine sis
kins perched on the very topmost tips
of the pines caroled forth glad hymns
to their maker OH it was good to
be alive.
Down, down we went, past farm
steads with oldfashioned honey log
cabin houses; past farmyards from
whence came the lively cackle of lay
ing hens and the grunting of pigs to
their squealing broods Of young; past
green pastures where frolicked play
full calves, where whinnied mares to
awkward colts nosing between bars of
rail fences, and lamb
kins frisked at heels of bleating moth
er ewes.
Here and there, high up on the
sides, were summer-home
hiding amongst the trees.
An old-fashioned country church sur
rounded by hosts of blossoming trees
loomed to view A fleeting glimpse
through the open doorway, at the
broken window pants and the decay
ing, tumble-down porch told us it was

a deserted Temple of God. But the
old bell still hung in the belfry tow
er. Oh! it was triumphantly pictur-
esque-for all the world like Oliver
Goldsmith's Deserted Village"
church.
A sudden turn in the road-and
there, in all its splendor against a
background of azure blue, seemingly
in our very path, stood majestic Mt.
Mclaughlin with its shimmering gar
ment of snowy white and pearls glis-
tening in the morning sun. AS tho
devining our thoughts that in another
moment we could stretch forth hand
and-it eluded our grasp and re-
mained-just beyond, and beyond.
We reached Rogue river, and as
we crossed Bybee bridge salmon
trout, splashing about in the ripping
waters, leaped playfully above for
an instant as though desirous of TAX
ing part in the joyous earth festivi-
ties. On, on we sped, past Towering
fields fragrant with wild perfume;
past fields Of growing grain, and
pink and white redolent orchards
all the while maintaining view of
the majestic mountain.
And on-till we reached the Pacific
Highway. Oh! what a glorious ride
on the shining, smooth-paved road,
with the Spring breeze fauning our
faces. We were not the only ones
enjoying a delightful outing, for we
met and passed wagon teams, one
horse carriages and autos whose oc-
cupants wore happy, smiling faces.

lands en- route north to Portland and
south to Frisco" who cheered us
as they passed-for it was Spring,

w. H. Harvey, formerly of Gold
Hill, recently Of klamath Falls, is
now engaged in carpentering in Lake
Park, out from Fort klamath. He
reports large crew of men working,
employed in the camp, and the con-
tractor, w. S. Turner, is adding all
available men.
Harry Hicks, formerly of Gold
Hill, arrived from Douglas county
the first of the week, visiting friends
here en- route to California, where he
will meet his father, Joseph Hicks,
formerly engaged in the plumbing
business in this city. The elder Hicks
is en- route from La Sierra, in the in
terror of Central America, where he
has been employed in a large gold
mine in that district. The Hicks in
tend visiting here on their return
north.
Mesdames Blackburn, A. E. Kel-
logg, H. D. Reed, w. II. Blackert and
Myrtle Day autoed to Ashland Mon
day, eating dinner in the park, and
attended the Chautauqua exercises
IN the afternoon. On returning home
via the Kanes creek hill road in the
midst of a terrible wind and dust
storm they had a blowout and a flat
tire, and before matters were adjust
ed a drenching rainstorm made mud
of the dust In the road and that
which had accumulated on their raj
ment But in spite of their bespat-
tered appearance they arrived later
on in town, much elated of their
achievement In making the necessary
repairs to the flattened tire.
Prof. w. L. Greenleaf arrived from I
Santa Monica, CAL, the first of the /
week to spend his vacation on his
farm out on Kanes creek, three miles
from Gold Hill. He is teacher of
dramatic art In one of the leading
colleges of Santa Monica. He is ac-
companied by one of his students,
Robert Hutton, son of Judge Geo.
w. Hutton, the well-known iurist of
that city. Tony Olsen, the we'll
known, big, fat, jovial Swede from
Denmark, has charge of the profess
sor's farm here during his absence
and conducts well-regulated dairy
of selected cows. The professor is
warm in his praise of the Rogue Riv-
er valley and contends that it is the
best place on earth.
