Government
Pcmolog'st Is
Here In Town
For the purpose of writing a
bulletin on prune culture, C. F.
Kinman, pomologiatof the agri
cultural department of the Unit
ed States government, has been
making investigation of several of
the largest prune districts in this
county.
Mr. Kinman is obtaining Infor
mation particularly along the
lines of fertilizing, pruning, and
spraying and cultivation, and
stated this morning that a large
number of inquiries along this line
have been and are being receiv
ed in Washington from New Eng
land farmers. He selected this dis
trict for the reason that 90 per
cent of the Italian prunes raised
in the country come from western
Oregon and Washington.
Mr. Kinman intimated that in
the near future the northwest
might have sharp competition In
western New York which section
was displaying a keen interest in
that particular branch of the
prune Industry.

Money Due Through Mistake In Fixing Levy
Above Six Percent Limitation Not To Be
Rebated Until October County Officials
Pass the Buck As To Blame For Error
Runaway, 15
Is Happy
Return Home
Another lad, Mike Wolf of Ger-
vias, has found that life on the
open road sometimes lacks the at
tractiveness attributed to it by
sentimental writers who scribble
in cozy flats in the big cities.
Mike, who is but 15 years of
age, was picked up by the police
on the streets. He was without
money, without food and he was
hungry. At first he refused to give
his true name. Stubbornly inde
pendent, he said he was Mike
Kohn, a searcher for work.
Later the youth told his story.
Dissatisfied with things as they
were, he determined to set forth
for himself and ran away from his
home near Gervais.
Shortly before his father, In
formed of his son's whereabouts
by Sergeant Clyde Ellis, arrived
this morning, young Wolfsaid he
would be glad to return to his
home and resume his farm duties.
Rebates on the $17,000 due tax
payers of Marion county through a
mistake in the orilgnal tax budget
may not be made until October, ac
cording to information gleaned
from the offices of county offi
cials. A week ago an order was drawn
up by the district attorney and
presented to the county court for
signature, but due to the proxim-
ly of the period when the second
half of the 1920 taxes will be due
and payable and because of the in
convenience which would be
caused at this time on account of
this fact if the order has not been
signed.
Furthermore it has not been de
cided as to which office the tax
collector or the county clerk will
bear the expense of making the re
fund, nor has any plan been de
vised which will eliminate any
part of the taskof going over the
entire rolls and deducting 4-10 of
a mill from the tax bill of every
property owner.
It has been estimated that at
least 50 of the largest taxpayers in
the county will absorb 60 per cent
of the refund, and that the re
maining 40 per cent will be paid
to the 29,950.
On .$1000 assessed valuation tho
tax amounts to 40 cents, thus if
there were 2000 taxpayers whose
property valuation would amount
to $100 the refund to only four
cents which would hardly pay the
property owners, whose tax bills
are so small, the trouble of obtain
ing the refund. There is also the
same number of taxpayers who
hae assessed valuation of $200.
The fixing of the responsibility
of the mistake in the tax estimate
has met with little success. It
apparently lies between the office
of the county executives who made
out the budget which the assessor
was to collect In taxes, or it lies
at the door of whoever added and
copied the figures. The buck is
passed, and, for the sake of har
mony, no county official wants to
say who caught U.
