The constitution had been voted by

the power from the empire of Ma

The only celebration of this semi
centennial has been this week S wran-

The republic has lasted At the same
time some foremost Frenchmen want

wanted the Emperor back. A few had
failed at getting up a commune. And
many (but perhaps not at all the ma

visional President, Theirs, who per-
sonally preferred an Orleans, spoke
with resignation and common sense:
After all, a republic will divide us

1t has happened. No Frenchman
under 20 has any personal experience
of any other form of government, and
whatever certain newspapers may say,
no F'renchman really wants any other

OFFICIALS LEAVE
Keene and McDougal To State
Convention

Treasurer McDougal and Audit
or E. o. Keene will leave Sunday
for Bellingham where they will at
tend a three day session of the
state convention of county treas
urers and auditors. These conven-
tions are held annually for the
purpose of discussing and consid-
efing various phases of the work
of county government and admin
istration. Papers covering the
conduct of the various features of
the work are read and discussed
and usually several of the state
officials are presented advise as
to the application Of newly enact
ed statutes. Many people have the
idea that the administration of
county affairs is simple matter
but attendance at one Of these ses-
sions would be the source Of con-
siderable surprise at the varying
methods that prevail for doing the
work.

HELP TO SAVE
STATE WEALTH
State Forests are Men
aced by Blister Rust
in Timber

The u. S. department of agri-
culture in cooperation with the
state department of agriculture
and the district inspector are Grad
icating the cultivated English black
current bushes as a means OF
checking the spread Of the white
pine blister rust, which is a very
destructive disease Of the white
pine trees.
A peculiar feature Of the disease
| is that it cannot spread directly
from pine to pine. The disease
blows from pines to currant and
gooseberry bushes, goes thru a
stage there, blows from bush to
bush, and then blows back and IN
fects other white pines. But it can
| not spread except by the help OF
currant or gooseberry bushes.
The cultivated English black
currant is by far the worst one
to spread the disease and is the
only cultivated variety now being
eradicated in this locality. To pre-
vent spread of the disease it is
necessary that these bushes be
taken out before they become in
fcted.
The work is being carried on in
this region by ]. G. Macker, H. y.
Whidden, under the supervision OF
G. A. Felch. These men will look
in every yard and garden for the
cultivated English black currant
bushes and every one is urged TO
report any black currants to these
men or phone information to the
district horticultural inspector.
It has been found, with very
rare exceptions, that every public
spirited citizen is willing and an
xious to cooperate in saving the
white pine forests, by graduating
his cultivated black currants.
Through building materials, pay
rolls. water for irrigation, proven
ton Of floods and beautiful woods
for hunting, camping and fishing,
everyone is interested in preserv-
ing the forests. Help save the for
ests by reporting the location OF
English black currants.

TIRE PRICES ARE BACK
TO LEVEL OF

A generous reduction in tire
prices has restored the price levels
Of two years ago, according to F..
F. Beste, local Goodrich dealer.
"This is much more than cut
thrown out to attract a few back
ward tire buyers" says Mr.. Beste.
Comparison of the new price list
with prices on the great majority
Of sizes and types in 1924 shows
how completely any so-called 'in-
flation' has been squeezed out OF
tire prices. In a majority of cases,
the new prices match the prices Of
two years ago."
Mr.. Beste also points out that
the new prices, figured in percent
ages, are Is per cent or more be-
low the peak prices of last year.

ROADS HELPED
BY VALUATION
New Assessment is Great
Boost to Permanent
Road Fund

This years new assessed valua-
ton of property in Washington
will automatically increase the
amount for the permanent high
way fund which is spent on coun-
ty roads plans approved by the
state highway engineer. The mon
ey comes from the motor vehicle
fund and is equivalent to one and
half mills of taxes.
County boards of equalization
have just commenced their sessions
and it is still too early to get a
close line on the increase in values
found this year. In general way
members of the tax commission do
not expect any material advance
in eastern Washington and the
gain will vary a great deal in the
west side counties. There has been
a general increase in the valuation
of public service corporation pro-
perties fixed by the tax commits
sion.
1t seems likely that the increas-
ed valuation will not run over
10 per cent in the state as a whole
If such figure is reached.
Therefore the increased burden on
motor vehicle licenses and the gas
tax will not exceed $173, 900, bring
