hoarse, telling them what to do and
how to do it, and what we would do
| when they came back. Haven't we
forgotten? At the time we entered
the big war it was very necessary that
something be done and done quickly.
England, France and Italy were on the
ragged edge of failure. Their battle
lines were being pushed back at all
strategic points. Hun long-distance
guns were dropping shot in Paris, their
aeroplanes by dropping bombs were
killing helpless women and children in
London, but our 1000, 600 yankee boys
proved the right men in the right place
and at the right time. Soon the tide
was turned and the 1lth day of No
vember became an epoch in national
history.
Two years or more ago at celebra-
ton in Hood River few of US donated
some $500 or more for the expressed
purpose of erecting some kind of a
memorial at what at that time was
known as the top of Ruthton Hill on
the Columbia River Highway. The
late o. 2. Dabney had agreed to give
the land for it, but for reasons known

Capt. A. +. Burghduff state game
warden. who has frequently visited
here, is an inveterate fisherman. The
following notes on his life of adven-
ture following angling appeared in a
recent Oregonian:
The majority of men have somewhat
of hobby for fishing. but Captain A..
f.. Burghduff, state game warden, has
retained his even in connection with his
position. Captain Burghduff says that
his hobby began in boyhood days back
in Wisconsin and Iowa when he began
to try the lure of bent pin hook and
string line on croppies. sun fish and
anything else that would bite.
Since that time he has followed his
hobby continuously 81 weeks in the
year in some form or another. He
tried game fishing in Cuba during the
Spanish American war days while a
member of the 49th Wisconsin infantry
and has tested his skill on tarpon in
Florida and on tuna near Catalina
Island.
In recent years he has taken up the
more questionable sport of fly and bait
casting and has been an enthusiastic
devOtee of the pastime in connection
with his real fishing. Golf has always
been taboo with him, he declares, be-
cause he has seen it become the ruina-
tion Of too many good fishermen.
Trout in the Oregon mountain
streams are the favorite pursuit of
Captain Burghduff's s hobby and they
surpass even the Wisconsin lake fish of
his youth for sport. Salmon in season
are worth all the spare time a man can
give TO their uursuit, Captain Burgh-
duff thinks. lie was the second man
to wear the salmon club gold button
for landing the regulation weight fish
on light tackle
Capt Burgh aft has passed 20 years
in Oregon. Re was general manager
of the Home Telephone Company for
IA years. In Nay, 1920. Capt. Burgh-
duff became state game warden. He
saw service dur ng the Spanish -Ameri-
can war m Cuba. During the world
war he served Is months overseas in
the American signal service. entering
the war as q trst lieutenant and leav-
ing the army a- a major.

The season on China pheasants
opened here Tuesday and will last for
10 days, but growers and local sports
men will not welcome the influx of out
of town shooters who swarmed here
from Portland the first few days of
open season last year, spelling the
shooting, as local men declare, for
home sportsmen. Hundreds of mo
shooting" signs may be noted by mo-
torists in any part of the valley. Many
growers. relying on a law that makes
it necessary for the hunter to secure
permission of the land owner before
entering his property, declare they
will prosecute without exception, in
case any one crosses their property
line after pheasants.
Local orchardists expressed them
selves as indignant last year at the
carelessness with which city hunters
shot at birds in thickly populated sec
tions. In instances. it is declared.
ranch homes were peppered with bird
shot Formerly the open season on
pheasants occurred in October. The
change to November resulted from
petitions of orchardists, who COM,
planned that hunters spoiled many APP
piles during the earlier season, literally
peppering them with shot.

All of these applicants specified that

When communications" were called
for, city solicitor Hand arose and read
the following typewriter statement:
Under the state law, the assessor
is to assess all real estate at it's true
value. If the real or personal prop
erty so assessed is not a true and just
assessment, the owner thereof has the
right of appeal to the County Board
of Taxation, to rectify it, providing
the appeal is made within the limit
fixed by law.
"The mere fact that an owner of
personal property also pays to the city
a mercantile license to do business,
does not in any way affect the lien
of assessment against his personal
property"
The Commissioners ordered the
foregoing opinion to be received and
filed and instructed the city tax as
SCISSOR ito be governed by it accord
ingly."
1t is understood by the opinion that
the payment Of a mercantile license
by any owner of personal property
does not exempt such owner from the
payment of a tax on said personal
property; that such property is tax
able whether or not the holder thereof
pays a mercantile license for the
privilege of engaging in business. 1t
was mentioned that an opposite view
had been taken by some persons in
regard to this matter.
Frank T. Finn, assistant passenger
trainmaster of the Atlantic Division,
Pennsylvania Railroad Co., was pres
ent at this meeting and addressed the
Commissioners on.the subject of cur
tailment Of railroad service to Wild
wood. A m had been put in cir
culation recently that the West Jer-
sey and Seashore Co. intended to cut
off some of the service to this point
during the winter months. AS soon as
this rumor reached the ears of the
Mayor he telegraphed his protest at
once against such threatened action
to A. G. Mitchell, of Camden, superin-
tendent of the Atlantic Division. The
Mayor continued his efforts by making
a trip to Camden to call upon the
superintendent and discuss the matter
with him personally. In addition to
the Mayors telegram, about a dozen
more messages of protest were wired
to the management at Camden. The
senders were Heber Crane. W. H. Aus

Notes From
Wildwood City Hall
By A. F. LEIBY

In the old Roman calendar-whose
origin has beer additionally ascribed
to Romulus-the year was divided into
ten months, the last one of which was
named December, after the Latin nu-
neral, Decem, meaning 10; and this
name, though etymologically incor-
rect, is still retained. Instead of be-
ing the tenth and last month, as for
merly, December is now the twelfth
and last month of the year. The
change from ten months to twelve
months occurred in the year 46 b. c.,
during the reign of julius Caesar.
In those early days the beginning
of the year was fixed in March, at or
about the time of the occurrence of
the vernal equinox; but later it was
deemed e~xpedient to have the year
begin shortly after the period when
the sun reaches its apparent lowest
declination-known as the winter SOL
stice-and when the days are shortest.
This phenomenon occurs on or about
December 22d.
According to an English statute of
1851, specified as a calendar Amend
ment Act" and becoming effective in
1852, January 1st vas legally estab-
lished for England and her colonies as
the beginning of the year instead of
March 25th. This arrangement has
held good ever since and seems to give
pretty general satisfaction to all con-
cerned.
The first meeting of the Wildwood
City Commissioners in the month of
December, this year., took place last
Tuesday afternoon, the 9Th, and was
fairly we'll attended. The volume of
business transacted was not large.
This being the first meeting of the
present month, as stated, the official
reports for the month preceding were
in order and the reading of these
claimed a very considerable portion of
the time allotted for the session,
which began at 2.15.
After the roll call the voluminous
minutes recorded at the last meeting
in November were read and presented
for approval and adoption. This was
accomplished at 2.27.
