INCREASED INTEREST.
Children Takioz Much latter ia
Industrial Coat.
Among the manr educauot scat
ters discussed by the covin.? superin
tendents during their receat esioa
at Salem in the capacity of state
hoard of examiners, uone was en-j
tered into with more interest than
the school children's industrial con
test work. With one or two excep
tions each superintendent bad intro
duced the work in his county, and
was gratified with the results. In
almost every county where school
fairs were held last year for the first
time, the exhibits were beyond the
expectation of those in charge. The
discussion was not as to whether the
movement is a good one, and one to
be continued. All were agreed and
enthusiastic on that point. It was
simply a matter of discussing meth
od how to conduct the work to get
the best results. There was a unan
imous sentiment in favoring a later
date for the State Fair this year in
order to make it possible to .'iold the
local contests first, and then send
the best of the exhibits to Salem.
Some expressed their intention of
sending their whoie juvenile county
exhibit to the Stat: Fair, and unless
there Is a mighty sidetracking of en
thusiasm, the fair board will need
to build a roof over one corner of
the State Fair grounds to take care
of the children's department.
Many of the superintendents In
their industrial work this year are
going to specialize on poultry, be
lieving that it is a good thing for
every child to have the care of some
sort of animal life, and that nothing
Is more profitable nor practical to
begin with than poultry It is
claimed by some of the superintend
ents that it Is easily possible to meet
the entire cost of our public school
system by the Increase In the pro
duction of poultry and eggs by the
school children of the state.
Adventists Out Against MeaMii-e.
Mail Tribune: The meeting at
the local Seventh Day Adventist
church resolved itself into what
might be termed a mass meeting,
when resolutions were passed remon
strating against proposed Sunday
legislation now before the United
States senate in ccngress at Wash
ington, D. C. The resolutions were
brought before tin congregation by
T. G. Bunch, pastor of the church,
and were passed unanimously. They
lead as follows:
"Whereas, The Johnson Sunday
bill, now pening in the senate of the
United States, is religious in its
character, in that it is designed to
foster the religious observance of
Sunday, and,
"Whereas, The exemption clause
attached to one of the sections of
this bill indicates most clearly its
religious character, by exempting
from the application of this suction
those who belong to a religious so
ciety which observes some other day
of the week than Sunday as a sab
bath, and,
"Whereas. Religious legislation is
contrary both to the spirit, and let
ter of the constitution of the United
States, and If carried to its logical
conclusion means a union of church
with state, and the persecution of
dlssenter3: therefore,
"Resolved, Tim we respectfully
but earnestly remonstrate against
the passage of thU bill, or any other
bill requiring the observance of Sun
day as a rest day which may come
before the senate."
A PECULIAR CLAIM
lAHk Like an Attempt to Rob
Treasury of Count in Itclialf
of City of Medford.
The Medford Sun of Thursday,
January 30, contains tbe following
remarkable article-
"Jackson countv, according to an
investigation made by the finance
committee of the city council, owes
the city of Medford between $1,000
and $1,500 as interest on taxes collet-ted
by the sheriff's office during
the last two yars. Some of this,
the major portion, in fact, is on de
linquent taxes which have not been
paid. The city will collect this
amount, and City Attorney Bogg3
and members of the committee visit
ed Jacksonville on Wednesday to in
vestigate. "It also develops that the city is
in arrears between $8,000 and $10,
000 in taxes the last two years, ow
ing to the failure of many to pay
their assessments. As they have not
been paid, the sheriffs office has no
way to turn over the "money. Tht
has nothing to do with the admin
istration of Sheriff Singler, but is a
legacy from preceding terms.
"Under the state law the city is
entitled to draw 12 per cent interest
on all taxes paid. For instance, all
delinquent taxes not paid on the first
of last April draw interest from that
date at the rate of 12 per cent the
year. In many Instances neither the
interest nor the principal have been
paid. The arrear Is admitted by
county officials, hut there is no
quick method of discovering the ex
act amounts."
Just how Jackson county is owing
Medford for iaterest on taxes which
have never been paid, is a mystery
to the Tidings. The county is mere
ly the agent of the municipality for
the collectio uf taxes and owes the
cities and towns only the taxes col
lected. Whether the article is an exhibi
tion of ignorance on the part of the
reporter, an attempt to show a ficti
tious asset of the city, or is part of
a play to find a pretext to get Jack
son county money into the Medford
treasury Is the question. It does not
seem possible that any sane person
would claim that the county owes
the city interest upon taxes not col
lected, but is the plain language of
the article.
DELEGATION' EXPLAINS.
Legislators Tell of Auto License In
crease. The Jackson county delegation at
Salem has addressed the following
letter to the Medford Merchants' As
sociation and the Rogue River Valley
University Club, in reply to a tele
gram and letter piotesting their bill
to inciease automobile licenses:
Salem, Jan. 22.
Mr. J. A. Perry, President Medford
Commercial Club, and the Mer
chants' Association of Medford,
and the Medford University Club,
Medford, Ore.
Dear Sir and Gentlemen: Your
telegram of January 22, addressed to
Hon. J. A. Westerlund, was referred
to the Jackson county delegation and
we have giveu in careful considera
tion. We assure you that the entire
delegation is very anxious that there
be enacted, at this session, in the
legislature, such good roads legisla
tion as will promote the building of
permanent highways within Jackson
county and throughout the state of
Oregon.
The matter of the increase of au
tomobile licenses is a matter that is
being insisted upon by a large num
ber of good roads enthusiasts. Those
who are opposed to state aid are
willing to make a concession provid
ed that the license tax on automo
biles be raised. At a meeting of the
good roads committee of the house,
it was decided, last evening, to re
port favorably House Bill No. 163,
and we are sending you copies of
that, herewith.
While the bill does not meet with
the approval of the delegation, still
at the same time we are of the opin
ion that out of the number of bills
now before the legislature, one will
finally be written that will be satis
factory to all. There are a great
many contending interests and it is
going to be a matter of give and
take if good roads legislation is en
acted, providing those for the Jack
son county delegation can, in a man
ner, concede something to the wishes
of others.
Yours very sincerely,
J. A. WESTERLUND.

Miss Julia C. Bell died Sunday at

Waite, on Iowa street, of paralysis.
The remains were taken to Roseburg
Tuesday for interment beside her
sister, Mrs. S. M. Waite.
Miss Bell was bcrn in Brecksville.
Ohio, June 28. 1839. She spent the
greater part of her girlhood and
early womanhood in Ohio and Iowa.
In 1888 she came to Oregon to make
her home with her sister, Mrs. S. M.
Waite, of Round Prairie, remaining
there until the death of her sister
in 1904. During the next five years
she lived with her niece. Mrs. Wil
liam Bush, of Portland. Ore., and
with other relatives and friends in
Oregon and Washington. While a
resident of Portland she united with
Pilgrim Congregational church, re
maining a member of that church
until the close of her life.
In November, 1909, she went to
South Dakota to spend the winter
with a niece, Mrs. Frank Campbell,
and in the spring following contin
ued her journey to Michigan and
Ohio to visit her two sisters, a broth
er, and other relatives and friends;
but after an extended stay in the
east she became discontented and
wished to return to the west, to
spend her last davs in Oregon.
Again turning her face westward
in the fall of 1911, she remained
several months with her niece in
South Dakota, and In April went to
visit some dear friends living near
Seattle, Wash., thence returning to
Portland, Ore., August 1. In No
vember of last year she arrived iu
Ashland, intending to spend the win
ter with her nephew, C. M. Waite.
A few weeks after her arrival here
she was stricken with paralyisis, and
oiter an illness lasting six weeks she
"fell asleep" at 7 o'clock Sunday
morning, January 26, 1913, to
waken with the loved ones "on the
other side." leaving many relatives
and friends to mourn the Iofs of a
de.r, loving companion, a true and
faithful iriend.
An Extraordinary Performance.

28: "A solid train composed of sev
eral baggage cars and a string ot
Pullmans passed through Medford

they performed last night."
