ATTORNEYS WILL MOVE TO COLLECT BACK TAX Patton Calls Legal Phrase Foolish, Then More Are Hurled al Him The big redwood in Summer stre-.H grew several inches in di ameter last night while the city council men debated whether to save its life or slaughter it off hand They talked, and. talked and talked, they and the delegates and visitors and commissioners from the common people. It was nip and tuck for almost a full hour. Mayor Champions Tree But the anti-vlvisectionista, won. The mayor says that they had a lead-pipe cinch, for he would nev er have let them cut that treo down, save over his dead body. There was only one slaughterous vote when they came to the' final determination. They then yoted to accept A. X. Bush's offer to light the tree and fence it ifnec essary; and the city will officially thank Mr. Bush for his offer.. The big redwood, according to Alderman Patton, is the only tree left standing directly in the high way from Canada to the Tia Juana race course. He thought . they ought to make it unanimous. Al derman Utter saw danger of au- tomobilists butting their heads in to the tree and the city being bjeld responsible. But when. thjBfcsh offer to light the tree was formal ly presented, the vote was practi cally unanimous. It was shown also that the, tree was guaranteed its life when the street was orig inally laid out through the Waldo home where the tree grew, and the city couldn't lie even to a tree. , Smith to Have Help. The city attorney is to have an assistant attorney to help him col lect up a lot of delinquent street and sidewalk taxes. A number of suits will be started, if nesessary, very soon. Two wooden sidewalk applica tions were approved, for little used side streets; but four others were granted with cement sub stituted by the council. A special committee on a city incinerator reported that it hoped to have full plans to lay before the council at the next meeting. The committee will visit Portland soon to get additional data on the burning of municipal refuse. Paving Bills Presented. Shipley's, on North Liberty street,! is to have a new electric sign authorized ,by the city coun cil. Bills of $1095.95 for the pav ing of street intersections, were presented and ordered put into the form of city bonds for pay ment. This action brought a ve hement protest 'from Alderman Utter, who said that it was an out rage not to charge these bills to the property owners benefited. He said that the ordinance requiring the city t6 pave the intersections bad been put over by two Im provement districts when he was out of town. Alderman Schunke opposed the Utter proposal for a i referendum vote to repeal the or dinance, saying that the people had been working under this law and they wouldn't change now. Old Order Changeth. Alderman Thompson held that the city ought to pay for these in tersections, though in the older days, he had paid for his own.; Al derman Patton insisted that it was a moral right for the city to back end refund the money that earlier private pavers had paid for simi lar Intel section paving, before, the city undertook to pay the bills. He Bald that the city had paid almost $50,000 in the past two years for intersections. Alderman Sutter Relieved that a vote to change the system would retard or block all further paving, and that in .the end it would do no good, for the people would vote "no" on every measure, including oth ers of far more vital Importance, ir (his should be stuck on the bal lot. '' H Referendum Not Ordered. In the end, the referendum ivote Was not ordered. But they hadn't run out of arguments when the debate closed".

Da vid Laghtner, wanted In Portland, Ore., to answer charges of viola tion of the federal narcotic laws and impersonating a United States officer, claimed Canadian citizen ihip today when he was brought ashore from the United States shipping steamer West Farallon, which arrived yesterday from the Orient. This was denied by W. R. Woods, federal narcotic agent, ot Portland, who originally arrested Lightner and who came here to identify him, and who made the contrary declaration that Ughtner was a native of the city where he is expected to face trial. Previously announced plans to start Laghtner to Portland today were changed. Instead he was ta ken before a United States com missioner here and arraigned. His preliminary hearing was set for August 28 and his bond fixed at 15,000. In default of bond he was placed in the Los Angeles county Jail. Lightner, who jumped bond. of 110,000 in Portland shortly be fore Sis trial was to begin, fled to th. Orient, was arrested in Shanghai, broke Jail and stowed away on the West Farallon. Two days out he was discovered, later identified and made the remaind er of the trip to Los Angeles in irons. Gleaning of Fuggles Under Way Recent Rains Ben- ? eficial in Effect Hop picking is now in -more or less general swing, since Monday morning, which had been agreed upon as the opening date for many yards in the valley. The recent rains, however, gave some of the yards a new lease of life and growth, and some are still growing so famously because of the rain, that their picking will be delayed a few days. Some hops were picked two or more weeks agi before the rain, to save what could be saved from the ravages of the red spider. This insect thrives best in dry weather, when the plants have the least resistant power. The rain saved a good many fields from being picked before matur ity because of the spider. Only the fuggle or early hops are be ing gathered at this time; the clus ter variety comes a little later. Sone interesting data is being gathered from hop-irrigation. On the Jones ranch in the Mission Bottom north of town, gome water was given the hops from a pump ing system at the river. The hops look to be two or three times the yield of the average over the country. The same Is true of a wonderfield field of hops cn the Beaver Island Fruit company ranch. Just south of Wheatland ferry. This ranch has produced up to 2800 pounds of hops to an acre in other excep tional years', so good yields are not uncommon there, but the hops that were irrigated there this year, even though the irri gation was not begun until near the close of -July, certainly look as if hops and water were bosom friends. A yield of better than a ton to the acre, even In this dry season, seems assured, though the pickers have not yet begun on the heaviest irrigated portion, as the hops are not yet ripe enough there. . It Is understood that some of the hop yards near Independence, have been so hard - hit by the drought that they will not.be ser iously picked. The price of hops is low enough to make the added investment of tha picking seem unjustified tn the lighter yield t Forty Varieties Fruit Put Into Single Stack WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Aug 21. Forty different varieties of fruit and - vegetables raised .
