What's New on the Market
BY FORREST CHM

A single turkey appeared on the
market today retailing at AS cents
a pound. The reason that there
was one put on the market at this
time was that the dealer wished
to sound the market. While no
price has been set as yet on the
Thanksgiving fowl 1t is thought
that the price will be slightly
higher than the As cents charged
this morning.

REMEDY FOR CAR
SHORTAGE SEEN

Chicago, Nov. 1O.-If the peo.
pie Of the Pacific coast would use
the railroads ipstead Of the water
routes for more shipments from
the east the car shortage might
be overcome, r. M. Calkins- vice.
president of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway, said to-
day In discussing the car situa-
tion.
Most Of the business from the
territory east Of Chicago destined
for the west is now going by
water and at such low rates that
railroads could not meet except
with a heavy loss," Mr.. Calkins
said. When, however, shippers
are in hurry as they are now
with fruit and other perishables,
they demand quick action from
the railroads and the immediate
furnishing of necessary cars.
When one stops to consider that
upwards OF rs per cent of all
freight cars moving between Chi
cago and the Pacific coast are go
ing west empty to get return ship
ments, 1t may be conceived what
the railroads are getting out of
this business. In other words we
are hauling cars $500 miles empty
to get loads back"
one and a quarter pounds are now
on the market. They are selling
at 5 cents q piece. One of these
radishes would be enough for a
meal for a family of five. They
are no tough as one would think
that such large varieties would be
but are very tender and sweet.
Florida grapefruit Of excellent
are selling at two for 35
cents.
A limited supply Of locally
grown ripe tomatoes are still on
the market. They are selling at s
cents a pound.
Some very fine green onions may
be had at this time. They are
selling at 10 cents bunch.
The White Globe variety turnips
ire plentiful. These turnips are
,ender and make very fine dish

DILL PLEDGED
TO HELP UNSEAT
SEN. NEWBERRY

Seattle, Wash, Nov. TO-
Clarence G. Dill, democrat OF
Spokane, whose election to the
United Statos senate in indicated
by returns In which Charles Heb
berd, republican state chairman,
does not expect amy material
change" win be the youngest
member when he takes his seat
March 4th, 1t is said here. Mr..
Dill, who was SS years old three
weeks ago, is a bachelor. Besides
Ernest Lister, former governor,
he is the only democrat to win a
statewide contest In Washington
since the populist wave.
Lawyer by Profession.
Mr.. Dill was born October 16,
1884, near Fredericktown, Knox
county, Ohio, and graduated from
Ohio Wesleyan university in 1907.
He has been a school teacher and
"a newspaper man. His profession
is the law. He was a deputy
prosecuting attorney and was sec
retary to the late Governor Lister.
Il based by campaign pretty
largely on the seating of Senator
Truman H. Newberry of Michi-
gan" says Mr.. Dill. THAT / con-
ceiyed to be the weakness In the
armor of my republican opponent,
Senator Miles Poindexter. / talk
ed the Esch-Cummins act, taxa
tion and farm legislation in my
campaign. / believe that these
are vital.
Campaign Costs Nil.
"But 1 gave the people a pledge
that If they would elect me
would go back to the senate and |
work for the unseating of New
berry.
II assume that older men in the
senate will take the lead in this
fight. 1t appears now that nine
senator's who voted for the seat
ing of Newberry were defeated
out of the thirteen who were up
Tor reelection. Newberry kept
his seat by 46 to Al vote"
Dill's supporters are declaring
that when the figures have all
been assembled his campaign will

'ver, said to be unprecedented for
his state.

vestigatio1 had not been made, 1t
might go on. doubtless, for another
20 years or more.
Upwards of 60 people have called
at the City Treasurer in the past
two days and with the exception Of
one. they have been able to talk over
the matter and come to a clear IN
derstanding regarding settlement. In
many cases, the bill has been referred
to the person who owned the prop
crty at the time the tax was unpaid
and settlement will be made
The city can legally make the per-
son pay. but abatement is something
that will be consistently and fairly
given. The records reveal that Mr.
Wilson has caught the unpaid tax
list at the peak and in the past few
years has been able to procure back
taxes to the amount which offsets
the amount incurred, so that, in
stead Of having the list increase year
by year. as 1t had previously done, it
has remained about the same. Many
taxpayers, when going in to pay
their taxes, have paid the other I'M
paid taxes willingly. when 1t was
called to their minds. This applies
to back taxes of more recent years.
The new system which is now being
put into effect, means a shr1nkage in
assets only in imitation, bringing
them down to their true value.

Cony Basketball
Team Wins Over
35-11

In the fastest game of the year in
the Assembly hall, the Cony boys
team defeated Waterville Friday eve
ming. Although the final score was
S5 to II. the game was far from one
sided and was hard fought through
out. Waterville played her usual
snappy game and the result was that
Cony showed more speed and better
passing than it has this year. AL
though there was no Intentional rough
ness. 1t might be called little
strenuous for this years rules.
Waterville going first with a
basket and foul, but when Cony got
hold of the ball they began to find
the basket and the half ended 10 to
Z. The second half was faster with
Cony going stronger than ever. Wa
terville had lot Of speed but was a
little off on shooting and couldn't
seem to get through Cony's five-man
defense. For the last I'VE minutes the
second team represented Cony and
held their own we'll.
There were no stars. The guarding
by both Knowles and Boyd was ex-
cellent. Incidentally, Boyd dropped
in four nice ones after some pretty
passing. Poor continues to improve
and found the basket five times. Far
rington got five from the floor and
three from the foul line.
For Waterville. Sterling was the
most active and got nine Of the II
points. Carter was also in the game
hard and handled the ball we'll.

City Treasurer
Doing Good Job
on Back Tax Bills

over fourteen thousand dollars
worth of back taxes IL due the city
of Augusta on real estate within the
city limits, according to three
years work of investigating and re-
cording which has just been brought
to an issue by City Treasurer Wilbert
Wilson. In some cases the taxes
have been due the city since the year
1875, or II years ago. There are a
great many dating 20 years back.
About 200 property owners in the city
have received these notices. The ma
iority Of the owners did not know the
taxes were due, many of them not
having looked up the records in the
city records when they bought the
property. In many instances. it ap-
pears to be the rule for the claim to
be referred back to the owner at the
time the tax was unpaid.
One man in the list received noti-
fication Of back taxes amounting to
over $500. 1t was found that the tax
es upon this property, which he had
acquired last spring, had not been
paid for ten consecutive years, skip
ping one and then paid another year,
making II years. taxes due. The
amount of &132.S7 did not include the
accrued Interest.
The report Of City Treasurer Will
son as it appeared in the Journal Of
Jan. 20. page II. column 2. gives IN
outline of the work, which Mr.. Will
son Is carrying out, in the back tax.
The idea is to separate the bad from
the good in the tax deeds. The exact
amount involved is $14,6e579.
The form letter which has been
sent out from the Office Of the City
Treasurer Is as follows: According
to the records upon the city's books
