Trial in federal court of Jeff Sha-
rum and George W. Neville on an in
dictment charging use of mails to de-
fraud stock investors through
scheme they are alleged to have form
ed in Ocala, Fla, was proposed today
t.: the federal court term when ply
sicians said Neville was seriously i'll
at his home in Dunnellon, Fla. Sha-
rum and Neville were indicted with
two others last August. The former
was arrested in the west and Neville
was taken into custody at Dunnellon.
The men are charged with having OBJ
tanned thousands of dollars from in
vestors by conducting fake stock
brokerage offices in various hotels and
representing themselves as having
important advance information on the
market. The Indictment was based
specifically on evidence that Sharum
mailed to the Bank of Commerce a
$4,000 draft given him by Herman
Mandelbaumm of New York and
Florida.-New York Associated Press
dispatch.
The Star in common with hundreds
of his other friends are sorry to know
Mr.. Neville is in trouble, and hopes he
will be cleared of the charges against
him. Marion county people who have
dealt with Mr.. Neville for a quarter
of century have found him honest
straightforward and progressive.

The docket has 1sl civil and 18
criminal cases on it, by far the larg-
est ever placed before term of court
here. However, there are few cases
of large public Importance which will
require any great amount of time, so
the time required may not be so great
as it has sometimes been. The case
that will attract the largest amount Of
attention from the public is that of
the people against Jesse Linsacum,
who is charged with the murder of
Chas. McClary on the streets of La
mar last June.
The cases of several of our stock
men against the Western Live Stock
Co. for cancellation of notes, which
had attracted considerable attention,
has been taken to the district court at
Denver on change of venue.
1t is not known just how long the
term of court will last but it is ex-
pected that it will be at least two
weeks.

OUR BIGGEST CROP
Colorado Harvests Another Big Tour
ist Crop.

Recreation seekers to the number of
219,164 visited the Rocky Mountain
National Park during the twelve
months period ending October goth.
They Travelled in 52,112 motor cars.
These are figures announced by Rog-
er w. Toll, superintendent of the park.
For seventy-two days rangers station
ed at three entrances to the park kept
There were automobiles from forty
states and visitors from forty-five
states registered within the park. The
traffic census showed the Fall River
entrance to be the most popular, with
Beaver Point second.
This is about j Is per cent increase
over the previous season. In 1915, s.
900 automobiles visited Estes Park.
The number of persons registered that
year was $1,000.
1t is estimated that $40, ,000, 900 was
spent and left in the state by tourists
this year This cash was distributed
in nearly every section Of the state.
For instance, survey showed that an
average of $1,000 was being spent by
the tourists in Cheyenne Wells locat-
ed in eastern Colorado, while the cash
crop that Gunnison merchants reaped
from the tourist trade equalled $4,000
per week.
Colorados cash receipts from the
tourist crop this year was five times
the annual gold output, and twice the
total value of our wheat crop.
Our annual state investment for good
roads has been about $500, 900, and
is probably the best investment that
the state makes from the viewpoint of
the business man.
To increase the cash receipts from
the tourist crop it will be necessary to
make our unsurpassed mountain beau
ty spots more accessible to the motor
ist nomads.-Colorado Highways.

WILEY JOURNAL BURNS
Editor Johnson Has Close Shave and

Fire was started Sunday morning in
the office of the Journal at Wiley
through an accident to the pressure
pipe of an oil burner. The fire fed
by the oil under pressure became un-
manageable almost before it was dis
covered and w L. johnson, editor and
owner of the plant, came near getting
caught himself, as owing to the pres
sure from within caused by the flames
he could not get the door Of the office
open until the glass transom was brolI-
en-. His hair was badly singed and
his ears blistered by the time he reach
ed the street. The building and the
Intertype machine we're both insured.
but Mr.. Johnson's own plant was with
out insurance and is almost a total
loss. The paper has been running in
Wiley since the first year of the towns
history, and the people Of that enter
prising little city are getting behind
him to assist in putting it back on its
feet. Mr.. Johnson has the determine
tion to win out and expects to be going
again in a short time. He has the
sympathy Of all the fraternity in his
troubles.

work in earnest in Bristol this week,
the delayed material having arrived.
A car of poles that had been shipped
from Idaho early in September reach
ed Bristol yesterday morning and was
unloaded. Work begins this week on
the first distributing line within the
village. 1t will run down the alley
from Browns garage to the Stockton
property and the first lights installed
in the power company's storeroom in
the Stockton building. There has al
so been some delay in getting electri-
cal materials from the east, but these
are now on the way and it is expect
cd that the current will be ready for
general use in Bristol within 80 days.

Total levy

The tax last year was 1912 mills
and the new levies make n net redcc-
tion so far as Lamar is concerned Of
S.S4 mills, or difference of 1884 on
each thousand dollars of valuation
When the 3 mill reduction was made
last year The Register remarked it
was the first step in the right direc-
tion made in years, and more would
be appreciated and this years reduc-
tion of nearly three times as much
will certainly be life-saver TO many
Of our property holders. The Wiley
city tax is the same as Lamar's 10
mills; while Holly, Granada and Hart
man have each levied 20 mills. The
school levies vary in each case and the
complete figures will not be announc-
ed until all are in.
The state tax was raised slightly
owing to the educational demands vot-
ed by the people at the election in
1920. The county levies were reduced
in the levies over which the commits
sioners have eontral from $40 to $50
mills, but the various school districts
under the guarantee law reported such
an increase in teachers that the levy to
guarantee teachers salaries was fore
ed up from 4 mills to 4.15, thus wiping
out most Of the saving in the county
levy.
School Dist. No IA, the Lamar dis
trict, lowered its levy from IL mills
to 10 mills, but high school district,
No. 2, raised from l.67 mills to LIS.
The town taxes are the same as last
year in all Of the towns outside of La
mar, but the school district taxes will
be reduced some owing to the tax
which the county now has to levy to
pay teachers.
Any way taxes are on the toboggan
and it will be good idea to keep them
going that way for few more years
until they get at least in speaking
distance Of the Taxes Father Used TO
Pay"

TAX LEVIES FOR 1922
City of Lamar Will Enjoy Greatest
Tax Reduction in Its History
and Hopes for More in
Future.

The board of county commissioners
met on Monday of this week and fix
ed the tax levies for the coming year
as far as possible. A few school dis
trict boards had not yet certified their
levies and the announcement of the
levies cannot be made until all are in
Sufficient certified levies were in,
however, to show what the people of
Lamar will have to pay for the COM
ing year, and the people of the county
can get theirs by adding the school
levy for their district.

The readjustmcnt following the war
period and the long-drawn-out fight
over the tariff affected the beet sugar
industry disastrously.
Beet growers refused to accept prices
for beets based on the drop in sugar
prices and in some districts lost mon
cy on other crops.
But the tariff and deflation problems
have been worked out and the future
Of the western sugar industry looks
very much brighter.
Utah and other districts where grow
ers reduced acreage and went into po-
tato production are ready to return to
beets as better crop.
Sugar factories and beet growers are
both anxious to enter early contracts
for 1923 production on equitable terms
to both.
Cooperation between farm and fac
tory on a scientific basis, and in the
interest of intensive agriculture is the
best basis of the industry.

LOSE AGAIN
The Lamar Savages Have Been Con-
siderably Tanned This Year.

The Lamar high school team-form-
erly known as the Savages-went to
Rocky Ford last Saturday and suffer
ed their fourth defeat of the six league
games played. The Ford boys, who
have always in the past been rather
easy for Lamar, turned on them this
time and beat them by the score of
Ia to 6. For years it has been the
regular custom for Lamar to either
lead the valley schools in football or
be runner up and this thing of being
down in the second division seems
strange. The Fowler and Holly teams
were the only ones that Lamar defeat
ed this year.

LOUISIANA BULLFRoGS
INTRODUCED IN JAPAN

! DR.. Usaburo Kawano, OF the Imperial
University Of Japan, will be in Louisi-
and within the next week or two to
study the Louisiana bu.lfrog in his na-
tive habitat. The Japanese are great
lovers of frogs, but the japanese edible
frog 10 a small creature about the size
of the Southern spring frog. Three
years ago the government determined
to introduce into the island frog OF
larger size, and after investigation de-
termined that the Louisiana frog. be-
cause Of it's extraordinary size and
other qualities, was the best for the
purpose. The Southern Biological Co.,
of New Orleans, shipped two dozen to
Japan three years ago. and one pair OF
these arrived in such healthy condition
that they bred the first year, and the
Japanese government determined to
continue the experiment until the frog
was fully established in the empire.
Another shipment was made, but tina
Japanese scientists OF the Iniver Iity
reached the conclusion that they re-
quired more definite knowledge of the
habits, and especially OF the food, OF
the frogs, and hence determined to
send one Of their number to Louisiana
to study the frog in the swamps.
DR.. Kawano will receive the neces-
sary assistance from the Conservation
Department, and after completing his
investigation will return to Japan, TAX
ing with him fifty pairs Of frogs. II Il
believed that under his personal su.
pervision the frogs will have a better
chance of survival from the long voy.
age, and that from these hundred frogs
will be bred a sufficient number, un-
der the careful attention of the Univer.
sity officials, to fully establish the spe-
cies in the ponds of the islands. As
the Louisiana frog is from fifteen to
twenty times the size Of the Japanese,
the Importance Of the venture is OBJ
vious.
