FRUITA.
V. 0. Wilson, a pioneer of upper
Prairie Creek, died at his home in
Eagle Yalle' recently. One by
one they go, these old pioneerc.
After the lapse of a few more years
they will live only on the pages of
history and but few of them there.
Little did I dream a few weeks ago
while writing in a viin of levity of
my friend, Lewis Neal, that he was
so near that rest that sleep from
which none ever awake. I could
say much of this good man, But
others have written who are more
capable than I, I will refrain.

lumber nearly all on the ground

dence. The fiat has gone forth "that the
old log cabins must go. We hate
iosee them go, these old log cabins,
for in them many of our children
were born and ab-ut them cling as
clings the ivy to the riven oak, the
fondest, sweetest recollections of
our lives.
A Mistake. .
In our last issue there wag an un
accountable mistake iu setting the
Grouse items regarding the searching
party at Bliss. It stated that Mr.
Smith said "He never saw such men,
they did not search for the body."
But it should have stated that be
said: "He never saw such men to
search, for they never tired but search
ed for nine days but could njt find
the body until the ninth day when it
rose." The Chieftain is sorry the mis
take was made and gladly makes the
correction.

Delinquent Taxes.
Under the new law for the collection
of taxes, unpaid taxes become delin
quent after the first Monday in
October. The county courts have ab
solutely no jurisdiction in the prem
ises, and do not have the right to ex
tend for a day the time for the collec
tion of any dtlinqucnt taxes. Under
the old law regulating the collection
of tnxee, they became delinquent after
Anril 1, but the county court had the
authority to make such extension of
the time in which to make the collec
tions as was deemed proper. But the
county court nas no power to act in
this relation under the new .'v, i)nd
taxes will become delinquent after the
first Monday in October.
