Petitions are being circulated in
this city by paid solicitors from the
outside, the object of which is to
initiate a bill to prevent the adver
tising of delinquent taxes, says the
Rogue River Courier. These have
been signed by a good many people,
and it is safe to say that a largo per
centage of the signers do not realize
that they are playing directly into the
hands of the speculators who would
sell the property of hard-pressed or
careless taxpayers without giving
them the benefit of public notice that
the taxes were delinquent.
The effort to suppress the pub
lication of the delinquent tax lists
in the various counties of the state
Is not without design. There Is a
reason why canvassers are being paid
to go into all the counties of the
state of Oregon for the purpose of cir
culating such petitions. These people
are not working In the Interests of
the taxpayers, because the taxpayer
does not pay for the publication of
the delinquent tax notices. The prop
erty owner whose taxes become de
linquent pays for the advertising. The
tax shark is the man most Interested.
(In having the advertising eliminated.
It is not a proposal to reduce the
cost of advertising that Is being
made. The purpose is lo suppress
the publication altogether
The tax shark with the elimina
tion of the advertising of delinquent
tx lists would reap a harvest by the
elimination of competition In bidding
at the tax sales.

J. W. Hallv Residing Near
Brown's Bridge Is Struck
By Passenger Train.
NO BONES ARE BROKEN
Is CaiTied 200 Feet on Cowcatcher
Horse is Killed and liuggy Smash
ed to Splinters Kohlhageu
Witness to Accident.
What seems like a miraculous es
cape from death occurred last even
ing when tTie buggy occupied by J.
W, Hall, who resides near the Brown
bridge, was struck by the engine on
passenger train No. 15. The horse
was killed, the buggy smashed into
splinters, but Mr. Hall escaped with
no greater injury than a severe scalp
wound, a little more than six inches
long, and some painful bruises about
the head and face and the body.
The injured man was caught on
the cowcatcher and carried for about
200 feet. When the train stopped he
got off of the cowcatcher and walked
back to the passenger coach, in which
ne was brought to Roseburg. There
were two trained nurses on the train
who gave him temporary relief. Upon
reaching this city he was immediate
ly taken to the offices of Dr. E. V.
Hoover, who dresesd the wounds.
The accident occurred at the first
railroad crossing north ' of Eden
bower, and was witnessed by Geo.
Kohlhagen. of this city, who states
that he was driving a bull from his
ranch at Winchester. The animal be
ing hot and tired, Mr. Kohlhagen had
stopped to allow it to rest when he
saw Mr. Hall approach the crossing.
That Mr. Hall did not see the train
is evident, and being almost totally
ueaf could not hear it. When he did
see the train he started to whip the
horse up, but was too late.
According to Mr. Kohlhagen the
engine whistled a number of times.
Many of the passengers thought the
old gentleman had been run over by
the cars. This was Mr. Kohlhagen's
opinion also, as he thought he saw
him thrown under the train, but it
proved to be the buggy cushion.
Mr. Hall is resting quite well at the
home of his daughter on Mill street,
and no fears are entertained for his
recovery.

REPORT UNFAVORABLE
(By Associated Press.)
PORTLAND, Or., June 21. Need
of rain still is the keynote of the
crop situation, according to the week
ly summary of weather and crop con
ditions, issued by the weather bureau
here. Beneficial showers fell in a few
scattered localities, mostly east of the
Cascade mountains, but drought con
tinued1 generally throughout the state
and a majority of the staple crops,
where not irrigated, were suffering
from lack of rain, says the report.
With unusually high day and night
temperatures crops under irrigation
made rapid growth and at the close
of the week were in a satisfactory
condition. Aphis were still numer
ous in the Willamette valley and had
made their appearance in Wasco
county, while complaints were re
ceived of damage by grasshoppers in
Umatilla and Klamath counties.
Some injury to winter wheat In
Umatilla county resulted from the
hot winds of the early part of the
week and this crop was also begin
ning to fire in other districts on ac
count of the drought. Rye was poor
to good, in some places having been
cut for hay. while in others it receiv
ed some benefit from local showers
and was in better condition. Spring
wheat also was much in need of rain,
was heading short and tome fields
were drying out and others soon will
I burn. Barley and oats were in fair
shapo on irrigated lands, but very
poor op dry farms. .
The llrst crop of alfalfa is prac
tically all cut In Morrow and Uma
tilla counties, cutting has begun in
Malheur county and haying will prob
ably be general during the coming
week, with poor to fair yields expect
ed. Non-irrigated1 pastures and ranges
are drying up and livestock are be
ginning to show the effects of
drought, although still doing fairly
well.
Tho strawberry season is nearly
ovor in the lower Hood River valley;
early cherries are ripening in many
localities and picking is under way
in Wasco county, with some orchards
showing fair crops. The outlook is
favorable for an excellent crop of lo
ganberries, and pickers are urgently
needed to assist In harvesting this
crop.
Under the favorable temperaure
conditions corn made rapid advance
ment but now needs rain; potatoes
are still promising but still need
moisture to insure satisfactory re
sults. Many gardens are infested
with aphis and this insect pest has
worked great injury fo peas and oth
er truck crops.

WASHINGTON, June 20. Major
General Henry A. Greene, recently
relieved of command of the 91st na
tional army division at Camp Lewis,
Wash., has been .assigned to com
mand the Philippine department of
the army, with the rank of brigadier
general, it was learned tonight at
the war department.
The war department declined to
give reasons for ordering General
Greene to Washington. Indications
are, however, that this means that
he is not going across with the 91st
division. In previous cases where
officers were detached from com
mand of divisions, notably the cases
of Generals Wood, Barry, Bell and
Scott, junior officers received com
mand and they were held here.

official advise which seeped through
the war department today. What it
was that the Inspectors frowned
upon was not explained.
Humor had it about the camp also
that tho granting of concessions at
Greene Park, the amuseinent center
of the cantonment, might have
something to do with the unseating
of the commander and reduction in
rank to brigadier-rt-'neral In the
regular army with command of the
Philippine forces. It is said that it
has not been all harmony in Camp

Judge Marsters Succeeds In
Getting Favorable Decision
On R. R. Crossing.
FOUR THOUSAND SAVED
Ijetter Received Today Which Fully
Interprets the Terms of The
Order Issued By Public
Service Commission.
Through the efforts of County
Judge R. W. Marsters, Douglus
county has won a victory over the
Southern Pacific Co., and the taxpay
ers have been save approximately
$4000, Some time ago a 'petition
was filed with the public service com
mission asking that a railroad cross
ing be established on the company's
line, near Reed sport, on what is
known as the Reedsport-WInchester
Bay road, which connects with the
new bridge the county is having con
structed at Reedsport.
Upon investigation the county
court found that the crossing at the
point mentioned in the petition would
cost the county in the neighborhood
of $4000, as it necessitated a big fill
in a swamp, and the court asked the
commission to change the location of
the crossing putting it about 2T0
feet farther south, thereby eliminat
ing the necessity of the fill.
This the railroad company fought,
but Judge Marsters stayed on '.he
job, meeting with the commission at
Portland, and also with Commissioner
Fred G. Buchtel, of the public ser
vice commission at Reedsport, where
evidence was taken with the result
of a favorable decision to the coun
ty. The S. P. Co. further maintained
that the county should establish and
maintain warning signs, and pay for
the cattle gunrd on either side of the
crossing, but wore beaten out ou
both issttes; The ' expense to the
county, attached to the establishment
of the crossing will be nominal.
The following is the letter received
today by Judge Marsters, from the
public service commission:
"We are in receipt of your letter or
yesterday enclosing certified copy of
order No. F.-TtiS with your acceptance
of service.
"With respect to your request for
Interpretation of the order, please be
advised that it is the intention of the
commission that the protective de
vices, viz., cattle guards, wing fences,
standard crossing warning signs,
stop-signs and whistling posts are to
be installed and maintained by the
railroad company and without cost to
the coumty.
"That portion of tho crossing ly
ing between the rails and for a dls
tance of 18 inches ou either side is to
be constructed by the railroad- com
pany and such company shall be reim
bursed by the county therefor.
"The remainder of the crossing In-
l.cluding grading and other things not
otherwise provided for shall be con
structed by and at the expense of the
county."

F.usene may soon organize a na
tional guard company in addition to
the four companies of state militia
and the one company of military
deputy sheriffs already in existence,
says the Eugene Register.
Major Raymond Ilabb, commander
of tho battalion of local militia, will
put the matter up to the members of
the different companies at drill to
night and obtain an expression from
them as to whether or not they desire
to form a company with a minimum
membership of 65 men. Major Babb
announces that men for this company
may be recruited from any or all of
the militia companies here and1 those
who join the now organization may
belong to both.
Tho proposed new national guard
company will differ from the state
militia companies in that the national
guard may be called for duty any
where in the United States while the
state troops cannot be taken out of
Oregon. i
It in hinted in military circles that
there will be need for a. large number
of national guard troops for service
within the borders of the United
States in tho not distant future. It Is
probable that they will be used to
take the pluco of certain unitB of the
United States army which have been
or will be cnlled overseas. There is
said to be a movement o'n foot in
many of the stntes to organize na
tional guard companies, und t Is
probable that a battalion or rogiment
will be organized in Oregon.
Men between the ages of 18 and 45
years who are able to pass a strict
physical examination are eligible to
enlistment in such an organization as
proposed for Eugene. While the
minimum strength of such a company
is 65 men, it is desired to enlist 100.
