TAX PAYING TIME. Every session ot the state legisla tor changes the system for the pay- meet of taxes, so that the taxpayer! has to study the lav regularly pre Tious to the time when it becomes his duty to add his mite to the up keep of the commonwealth. The taxes for the year 1915 will become delinquent if not paid by April 5th, though if half the sum charged against the taxpayer is paid by that time the balance can stand till Octo ber 5th without penalty or interest I The taxpayer who falls to make pay ment by April 5th Is mulcted by con stantly Increasing penalties for the time that payment is delayed there after. The following Illustration is given to show Just how this wonder ful piece of legislation works: , "Assuming the tax on a certain parcel of property Is $100, the first half ($50) may be' paid on or before April 5, and the second half ($50) oa or before October 5. without in terest or penalty on either.

A canvass among the business men of the city has indicated that the very large majority of them favor holding no celebration of the Fourth of July this year ln view of the big three-day celebration to be staged in Ashland. The trustees of the Commercial club took action a common standard again. MERLIN I Mrs. W. C. Fry was a visitor to Grants Pass Tuesday. Mrs. Chaa. Crow and little son went to Med ford Wednesday after noon to spend a few days visiting re latives. Mist Goldle Green Is spending the along that line, as did the organiia-jweek at her home near the Griffln lion oi mercnanis Known as me Beavers, snd the members of the Moose band decided against a cele bration which it had under contem plation. The people of Ashland are arranging for three days of Jollifica tion when the springs project which is now nearing completion will be formally dedicated. Through the Commercial club, Ashland invited Grants Pass to Join in the festivities with them, and the invitation has been accepted in a spirit of hearty good will. Grants Pass will hold her celebration later. ferry on Rogue river. The Marion Griffin family Is en- Joying a few days visit from. Mr. Griffin's mother, whose home is in Grants Pass. The funeral of Mrs. Rebecca Simp- kins, an old resident of Merlin, was held at the Baptist church Wednes day afternoon. Mrs. Slmpkin's death occurred early Tuesday morning at the home ot a daughter, Mrs. Samuel Burr, ln Glendale. Mrs. Ed. VanDom, of this place, is also a daughter. Mrs. J. M. Mason, ot Myrtle "Creek, who was a resident ot Merlin nntil a year ago, Is spending the week at the home of her mother, Mrs. Tyler, and renewing the acquaintance of her many friends here. Mr. and Mrs. George Trimble, of Portland, are guesta at the home ot Mr. Trimble's father, Wm. Trimble. HAS BEEN VERIFIED Messrs. J. F. Reddy and A. 11. Gunnell Friday visited the find of tungsten ore three miles above Gold Hill, bringing samples of the ore home with them. These samples were subjected to tests to determine the character ot the ore, and the gentlemen state that there Is no doubting the fact that the discovery Is one ot greatest value. The value lies not alone In the extent of the strike, but in the fart that a new field Is opened up for the prospector, for there Is no doubting the fact that there may be many deposits of th valuable metal throughout the Rogue valley, prospectors not being ac quainted with It and therefore not having recognised It heretofore. E. W. IJljegran, who assayed some of the ore in the first place at Medford, makes the following statement re garding the mineral: "The discovery of tungsten near Gold Hill by Messrs. 0. L. Half and Henry Ray is bona fide. The tung sten Is mostly In the form of schee- I lite, of a yellowish-white color, in a quart gangue; also minute particles of wolframite are found In places. "Vein No. 1 Is opened at five dif ferent places for a distance of 300 to 400 feet, showing qusrts from six inches to three feet wide, carrying tungsten; said openings are from ten to twenty feet long by three to twenty feet deep. The deepest hole shows the greatest width of ore. The 'strike of the vein is north by 65 de grees west, with a dip of 60 degrees Squibb's Liquid Petrolatum A heavy, Ustelees and odor I cm parafflne oil for treatment of in testinal stasis.

It certainly looks favorable for the profitable develop ment of tungBten ore. "I would suggest that prospectors throughout this region be on tnetr guard and keep a sharp lookout for the nature of any mineral substance that looks out of the ordinary, even though It Is only rock, and to exam ine especially heavy fragments in panning.' "The strike of these tungsten veins would throw the belt over to the Sardine country through the north aide of a low pass between Rogue river and Sardine creek.' "Placer miners, when cleaning up, should look out for heavy fragments of any kind of rock, no matter what color, and have It determined by com petent assayers as to what la may be. It might be more valuable In content of other mineral than for gold." , IIUNKSK WOMAN !.K Am 8AI.KM 1U HHAXI Salem, April 1.
