people who took part in the play to
say that the performance was well
staged, the parts we'll taken, and the
cast deserve special credit for their
application and study in memOrizing
the dialogues. for the spoken parts
were unusually long and varied IN
subjects. The teachers who trained the
students as well as the students them
selves are to be congratulated for the
admirable manner in which the play
was carried out. The title of the plaY
was Mice and Men," romantic four
act comedy. The auditorium was
crowded to the limit and judging frOin
the applause the large crowd felt fully
repaid for bucking the hill in order 10
reach the school house. The play was
encouragingly successful from finan-
cial point of view as the seniors took
in some 1925, a portion of which can
be credited to the candy sale that took
place at the auditorium entrance prior
to the beginning Of the play.

During no year since the system was
first installed has there been so much
activity in the way of land cultivation

this spring, or the season generally
designated as spring but which has
had very little outward and visible
evidence of the ordinary gentle seas

CHECK IN AND SAVE TROUBLE,

The Nelson Leader says that Gus
toms Officer Floyd LOOMS, stationed
at that place has been directed to
strictly enforce the order to seize all
cars that cross the boundary line with
out reporting. Such an order was pro-
mulgated and cxlled to the attention
Of Customs Officer w. A. CRUDE, OF
this place, some time ago. 1t was not
a new ruling Of the department, but
the injecting of new life in an old
statute. The law has always required
that customs officers seize and detain
vehicles crossing the boundary line
and failing to report. This has been
applied pretty strictly to British CO.
lumbia cars failing to comply with
the regulations requiring checking in
and out, but in the matter of cars own
ed on this side of the line the law has
been "more honored in the breach
than the observance" Since rum hun
ners have been getting in their disre-
putable work the old law as applicable
to all cars has been resuscitated and
no matter where the car comes from or
who claims ownership that car must
report when crossing the border into
the state or crossing over into British
Columbia, to the customs officer
or take the chance of being
seized and the owner going through
the expense and trouble that would
naturally follow such procedure.

DECK SOUP FOR OROyILLE FRUIT.

Last week the entire country north
and south had a severe kick In the riOs
from old Jack Frost. For two or three
mornings a coating of frost glittered 10
the morning light, and everybody had
visions. painful visions, of nipped iruis,
and that at time when the trees were
rich in promise Of the heaviest iruit
crop ever harvested in the valley. feo-
nile kind of held their breath waiting
for reports. with gloomy forebodinga
that the report would be painful YER

when fruit growers commenced send
ing in returns and those returns were
of the most happy portent. No fruit
was injured in this valley. A few am
bilious tomato plants that were COM
ing in ahead Of time. considering the
weather. were pinched here and there
and a few strawberry blossoms were
hit Otherwise no damage was done.
Experience has shown in passing years
on occasions of late frosts, that frost
is kind of stimulant to fruit in this
valley, containing small percentage
of alcohol, as it were. to start life
dancing in the sap Of the trees which
s conveyed to the bud and from thence
to the fruit, making the final product
more perfect in form and delicious II

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

The editors of Group l.. of the State

Ephrata last Friday in conjunction
with jubilee staged by the citizens
OF Grant county commemorating the
introduction of electric power for the
irrigation of lands in that locality. One
OF the features of the press meeting

state. the recently elected mayor OF
Seattle and ex-Congressman C. C. Dill.
Every regular and invited guest arose

Gazette William T. Gerow, of the
firm of Smith & Holden, New York

been member of the firm of Smith &
Holden since 1912, and as it stands
to reason that Mr.. Gerow could hard
ly claim association with that firm be-
fore having reached his majority he
must have been born on or about 1890
But he is too we'll preserved a gentle
man to bear the burden of those years
upon his shoulders, and he is not 50
old as the type makes him out to be
anyhow. The figures were off Just an

have read 1912.

ton OF Oroville brick has spread far

There is very marked difference Of

There is a very marked difference Of
opinion regarding the effect that the
proposed 30-10 school plan will have
on taxation. Those favoring the propo-
sition advance very plausible argu-
ments in its behalf, arguments that
appeal especially to the smaller
school districts of the state, smaller
in point Of number of pupils and as
sessable value of property But there
is decidedly growing opposition TO
the proposals. Supporters Of the 3O-lo
plan insist that the adoption of the
proposal will not increase taxation.
although at the same time admit tina;
il will be necessary to increase the
present state school tax some So 900,
900. How these speakers square their
claim of less taxation in the face CT
this admitted fact is beyond under
standing. for if there is an increase in
the state school levy, the small dis
proportion Of this increased taxes as
we'll as the richer districts. We con-
TESS that it is difficult to figure ont
how taxes are to be reduced il the
people constantly insist upon voting
for propositions that automatically in
creases taxation. The people by thei:
votes demand innovations that cost
money. and then blame political par.
ties because means are provided for
raising the necessary money to meet
the cost OF these new expenses. Taxes
can never be reduced until expenses
of government are cut down and the
expenses cannot be reduced il the
voters continue to demand new expert.
ments that cost money.
